ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Shantel, the founder and owner of Muse Bodywork and Lymphatics, a wellness studio dedicated to the healing and rejuvenation of the body through lymphatic care and therapeutic bodywork. I’ve been an occupational therapist since 2015, driven by a deep passion for helping people heal and regain their quality of life. Throughout my career, I’ve always been drawn to the power of hands-on healing—whether it's improving someone’s range of motion or aiding in their recovery after injury. I’ve always found immense fulfillment in seeing my clients feel better, move better, and live with more vitality. In 2023, my journey took a transformative turn when I discovered the incredible benefits of lymphatic therapy. After going through my own surgery and struggling to find clear information on recovery—especially when it came to the role of the lymphatic system—I became deeply passionate about this area of healing. The lack of accessible resources and support around post-operative recovery sparked a personal drive to explore lymphatic health further. This led me to pursue certification as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), specializing in post-operative plastic surgery recovery and the critical role the lymphatic system plays in the healing process. In my own recovery, I realized just how much the lymphatic system influences our overall health, from reducing swelling to promoting detoxification and immune function. I felt compelled to create a space where others could experience the benefits of lymphatic drainage and therapeutic bodywork, particularly after surgery, injury, or just as part of a wellness routine. At Muse, I combine my experience as an occupational therapist with my specialized training in lymphatic care to offer personalized treatments that promote healing, restore balance, and rejuvenate the body. I’m passionate about creating a healing environment that empowers my clients, offering them the tools and support to heal more effectively and feel better in their bodies. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or just looking to boost your overall well-being, I am here to guide you on your healing journey with a compassionate, hands-on approach. I look forward to working with you and helping you feel your best, inside and out. Let’s heal, rejuvenate, and thrive together!
