True Roots Holistics
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to embarking on a healthier journey. My name is Shantel, the driving spirit behind True Roots Holistics. Alongside the joys of motherhood with my two children, I've dedicated myself as a Registered Massage Therapist and Bowen Therapist, advocating holistic health and well-being.
​
I added additional skills at the renowned Vicars School of Massage Therapy, where I nurtured a passion for integrating therapeutic practices with patient education. I'm a deep believer in continuous learning to help clients and with new techniques that allow me to expedite their healing. A philosophy that continues to guide my practice.
My mission is straightforward: to provide relief from discomfort, enhance mobility, and ensure that my clients are informed and empowered. With the right knowledge and care, I believe everyone can reach their pinnacle of health and well-being.
I specialize in a variety of therapeutic modalities, from traditional massage to the advanced techniques of Bowen Therapy and Rapid NFR.
​
Beyond the walls of my treatment space, I find balance in running in the great outdoors or finding a health related book to expand my knowledge and enjoying quality time outdoors with friends and family.
At True Roots Holistics, I look forward to guiding you through your healing process, where your path to well-being begins.

My Background
​
My path to holistic healing began in 2007, a turning point shaped by personal experiences. After enduring several car accidents, traditional treatments offered me little relief from persistent pain.
The turning point came unexpectedly one day when I dropped off my son at a summer camp. There, I had the good fortune to meet a Bowen Therapist. Within just 15 minutes of her applying a few techniques on my aching arm, I felt incredible relief in pain, even if for a short moment. That brief relief made me ask, "Can our bodies truly heal themselves?" With the right input absolutely, "YES."
​
From that pivotal moment, I delved deeper into holistic therapies - exploring Reiki, Holistic Nutrition, Myofascial work, and the ever-evolving world of natural healing. My commitment to this path led me to academic achievements, and I proudly graduated with honors in various disciplines.
​
Today, I hold a diploma in Bowen Technique, Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Certified Holistic Nutritionist (CHN) and certification in Rapid NFR.
Join me as I share my journey, knowledge, and the wonders of holistic healing with you.
My Approach
Every body is different and responds differently to stressors and injury. I look at the body as a whole by addressing your nervous system. As where you are feeling pain may not be necessarily where the origin of dysfunction is.
My aim is to facilitate a dialogue between your brain and body to reduce pain responses, increase relaxation and support better movement to help keep you moving.
