massage therapy with Shahnaz om, LMT, LMT, CNA, CYT

at Sun & Moon Yoga Studio, Arlington

As a wellness practitioner of over 28 years, I understand holistic health is about caring for the WHOLE person and not just symptoms. Support and quality care must address their physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.  It's rooted in the understanding that all of these aspects can affect the person’s overall health.  My goal with my clients is to bring more harmony in their lives through therapeutic bodywork.

My wellness journey started in NYC. I was working at Integral Yoga, and studying culinary arts at The New School for Social Research. I was inspired to create a parallel career of healthy cooking, and Yoga to maintain optimal health.

Later in my journey, still curious about the body, I moved to Austin, Texas, to study massage therapy and Kundalini Yoga.  

While I am still passionate about healthy plant-based cooking and Yoga, these days my focus is on MLD, Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage therapy. My career has been built on wellness. I see the value of self-care, especially MLD, and how it has helped me in my life. I want to share these potent techniques and services with my community. A healthy community is powerful.
