BIO
Heavenly Hands Mobile Spa founder Shanda Barker is a successful professional massage therapist for 14 years. Even before then, my earliest memories were of “wanting to help people feel better.” Always moving towards that goal, it was my formal education and trust in the healing arts .
I attended ASHA School of Massage in Atlanta, GA and graduated in 2003 as a Certified Massage Therapist and I was trained by CLAIRE MARIE MILLER in Nurturing the Mother Massage. I relocated to New Jersey for a change of scenery, and began working full time as a therapist in 2009. My experience in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Myofascial Release, Oncology and Neuromuscular, allow me to enjoy working with a wide spectrum of clients. My intuitive and nurturing massage style is focused on allowing the individual's ability to completely let go by incorporating energy work during my massages.
I feel that providing and receiving consistent massage therapy creates the opportunity and fulfillment for a more balanced life. Through understanding the human anatomy and each individual's needs, I dedicated to helping clients reach their ultimate health goals with education, encouragement and compassion. I appreciate the importance in nurturing ourselves to sustain a balanced well-being and feels blessed to be a part of the process.
