About Me

Shannon Klipstein, LMT, Certified Aromatherapist

I am a Herzing University graduate, licensed massage therapist, member of the AMTA, CPR & First Aid certified.  Through Herzing, I learned basic myofascial techniques, trigger point therapy, swedish massage, shiatsu, postural asessments and kinesiology.  I worked for Elements Massage in West Allis for one year.  Since graduating I learned Hot Stone Massage and Integrative Reflexology (Claire Marie Miller's program). I have now moved on to be an independent contractor for the Chiropractic Company on the East Side.  I also do independent work at Reaching Treetops Yoga for Massage.   Additionally, I am a graduate of the Aromahead Institute, Aromatherapy certification program and completed Aerial Yoga Teacher Training through Reaching Treetops Yoga in Waukesha,WI.   I am currently working on my personal trainer certification so, I can also advise stretches!

I became interested in massage therapy through my love of yoga.  After practicing yoga for many years I decided I wanted a career in wellness.  Loving the calm yoga atmosphere made me think massage would be an excellent career choice.  Since going through the course I've discovered how much more massage can do than I ever expected.  Now I really enjoy being able to help people with their pain, I love being able to solve their issues myself and use my own touch to help people relax.  Previously I was a Surgical Technologist (Associate's of Applied Science) and spent 8 years in the United States Army as a print and photo journalist.  I have four kids, my youngest one has special needs (a rare and spontaneous genetic disorder called Costello Syndrome, where he has survived childhood cancer and continues to inspire me and blow my mind every day).  I am a hard, dedicated worker with a very passionate heart for people.

I can't wait to get you all on my massage table and show you what I can do!
