Shantel  Surles

Shantel has a passion for health and wellness and a desire to be of service to her community. She has been working in the wellness industry since 2014 and assists clients through a lens of bio-individuality. She understands that each person has unique experiences, environmental exposures, mineral patterns, and activities of daily living, which create unique internal environments causing people to respond differently to certain nutrients, stimuli, and chemicals, which means there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to health. 

Shantel studied massage therapy at Great Bay Community College where she trained in myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and sports massage. Shantel blends these modalities along with ancient healing techniques such as aromatherapy and cupping with intuitive components that create a unique massage intended to relieve pain while inviting relaxation and restoration.

​

Additionally, Shantel has a range of experience with the human body. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Neuroscience and Behavior, she is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, and a HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) Practitioner.

​

Her “non-cookie cutter” approach is applies  to both her massage and health coaching. practices This approach is applied via massage through assessment of client goals, stress levels, lifestyle and postural patterns to identify imbalances in the body and create personalized therapeutic treatment plans. When applying her "non-cookie cutter" approach in her health coaching practice, Shantel utilizes in depth client health history with functional lab testing through Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis to connect client experience with their health at a cellular level to curate a personalized protocol and roadmap to greater health & fitness.
