Our Therapist
SHAWN MATYCZUK • RCST, MS, LPN
Hi, I’m Shawn and I’ve been providing massage and craniosacral Therapy since 2001. In my practice I’ve supported people through all stages of life; from young children to the elderly. I’ve gained my experience through nursing as an LPN, from registered biodynamic craniosacral therapy and massage therapy with a cranial osteopathy approach. I’m very grateful for the experiences I’ve been able to have, and how they have helped shape my career and skills.

Attending an annual house party of chosen family this past Christmas eve ran into a close friend who was nine months pregnant. She was due in 4 days and dis-comfort had set in.

At this point, I offered to provide a Christmas day session.
