Meet Our Instructor
Ordained Minister, Shandell Marea Warren
Licensed Massage Therapist and Owner
Shandell was born to be a massage therapist, singer, teacher, writer, poet, dancer, actress, and true healer through all the arts. Through massaging and singing as healing harmonics, she was only three when she began giving foot massages to her mother. Being encouraged through the gift of song, and dance acting out the inspiration of spirit while Shandell was learning how to sing from her mother, who was performing in a band, and her deceased father who played guitar. Ever since, Shandell has been moved to heal through touch, word, voice, dance, and acting, as she believes deeply in the healing power of touch and the healing arts of all kinds. It is a healing power that starts with the individual and then moves through them into their life and community as a whole healed person.
Deeply involved in athletics during high school, Shandell began to realize the negative effects of competition upon the body, mind, and spirit. Keeping each other at arm's length instead of holding and healing as one strength, where all win as a collective healing team. While assisting the high school sports teams as a player with massage, Shandell witnessed the positive effects of massage firsthand. Due to her passion, thoughtfulness, and healing touch, she was involved in taking her team to multiple state competitions and was asked her senior year to step in to assist with massage, which took her teams to contend in two more State championship tournaments. The power of healing touch, song, dance, exercise, and word can do for the whole self and world as a healing team.
Shandell has been a licensed Massage Professional for over 20 years, 13 in Montana and over 7 years in the Seattle, Puget Sound region where she was licensed and educated. Now, it has expanded the oceanic healing touch of Bodywork’s Massage & School to Montana's Helena region. Classes in Qi Gong exercise, meditation, reflexology, aromatherapy, hot stone massage, perfected injury treatment with deep tissue, and pregnancy massage training are offered every Sunday with RSVP.
