I always feel amazing and connected to my body after a class with Shirley. As a vocal performer, actor and athlete, I can feel the difference before and after class. My voice feels perfectly in resonance which means that my body is aligned and engaged in all the right places. I highly recommend EVERYONE goes to train with Shirley so they can feel the difference for themselves. Thank you, Shirley!

It has truly been an honor to work with Shirley in her beautiful studio. The first time I attended an event at Spirit Science Medicine the atmosphere felt genuine and welcoming. Shirley introduced me to EFT and Pilates which is now a part of my weekly self care ritual. Spirit Science Medicine has helped me find a community of beautiful souls which is something I’ve been searching for. The community is lucky to have Shirley and her services available. If you are someone who is in need of compassion, guidance and community, I definitely recommend giving Spirit Science Medicine a try!💖

Shirley is an incredible instructor for any skill level, but an exceptionally great instructor for those at a beginner level! She does a great job of breaking down the positions within the exercises before the set begins, so you have a better idea of how to complete the movement without doing it incorrectly. She also is able to gauge the skill level of the class, but also the individual so that everyone is able to have a fulfilling class! We love Shirley <3

I’ve been going to Shirley for so many years I honestly can’t remember. I remember going to support her when she was in school and immediately knew she had what it took.
When I opened up my own space I knew the one I wanted to share it with was her. I took the chance and asked her and she took the leap. 4 years later she was able to open her own beautiful space!!!! Supporting growth is everything! I’m really proud of her.
Now anytime I see her she knows what to do. She helps me understand why I may be feeling a certain way. Why certain gym shoes are important and how breath work can change everything.
I’ve seen her really help people over the years-I’ve seen her help people get rid of all types of pains and problems. Her spirit is always welcoming and ready to engage and help you feel great.
Take this as your sign!

Shirley provided the most holistic experience. She provided a very thorough intake to make sure we could get to the root of my concerns. Her breath work really tuned me into how shallow I was naturally breathing. Her method with the kazoo provided a good giggle AND relief!

Shirley is an amazing and extremely knowledgeable practitioner. I've done private Pilates sessions with her and I'm hooked. As a new mom, I needed to adjust to my new body and feel more connected and stronger. As a fellow Pilates instructor, I knew I needed fresh eyes to help not only with my posture but with my entire structure, since movement has changed for me postpartum. I'm blown away by Shirley's intuitive and personalized sessions as she integrates her Postural Restoration Institute background with Pilates movements for a refreshing and often challenging experience. I walk out feeling so much lighter, taller, and more at ease with movement. PLUS, her studio vibes are so zen and cozy. I've referred family to see her for Postural Restoration session as well and they love their sessions with Shirley. I can't wait to try her other offerings.

I am beyond grateful to the people who recommended Shirley! I started 1:1 EFT sessions in March and have noticed a powerful shift in my relationship with my mind and body since incorporating EFT and all I’ve learned from Shirley. What I appreciate most is that Shirley’s approach to offering care centered my needs, comfort, and educating me on the mind-body connection. Shirley provided trauma informed care in supporting me through connecting with my body after years of experiencing gender based violence and chronic health challenges.
Plus I didn’t have to buy anything extra! All I needed was an open mind, open heart, and my hand. It helped that Shirley also has the ability to truly listen and do heart work.
I highly recommend Shirley’s services and events to anyone looking to tend to and improve their relationship with their mind and body.

I came into my appointment with back pain, and just Shirley teaching me proper breath work exercises, I left being able to breath clearly again and back pain gone. NO MEDS just breathe work. She is the real deal, as long as you are willing to put in the work as well. 10/10 would recommend

I did'nt know what EFT tapping was or if it would be for me but after talking to Shirley I decided to try it. The experience was so much more than I expected and Shirley creates a very peaceful and safe space to release your emotions while learning how to listen to your body. The combo of the Pilates and the EFT tapping was great for me. It was my first time doing pilates and I'm excited for the next class!

Pilates instructor = 3000% the best!!! Shirley has turned a skeptic (me) into a believer as she has coached me through 1:1 Pilates on the reformer for about 10 weeks now. Her approach is tailored to my needs and responsive to how my body is feeling any given day. I have seen HUGE results already and feel so much stronger and stable and my posture has improved. It has also made a world of difference with my inflammatory arthritis symptoms. I am so excited the studio is now offering Pilates mat classes as well!!! Still a lot of work to do but I know she is going to help me reach my body goals!

Shirley led an incredible one-on-one Pilates session on the reformer! Her attentiveness and expertise truly stood out as she adjusted each movement to fit my current fitness level. Although it had been years since I last used a reformer, Shirley made the experience both challenging and rewarding. The reformer brought a refreshing element to the workout, engaging muscles I hadn’t felt in a long time with the perfect balance of resistance and stretch. I left feeling revitalized, stronger, and noticeably more aligned, and I'm already seeing improvements in my posture and core strength. Highly recommend!

There were so many great offers to choose from and I ended up choosing the holistic massage for its blend of techniques. Scheduling was easy, the forms were straightforward and the confirmation was convenient for me to add to my calendar. You can’t miss the location which offers plenty of free street parking as well as a lovely view of the city from upstairs. It was very welcoming upon arrival! Shirley greeted me and let me know where the restrooms were. She offered me some slip ons in my size as well as some freshly brewed tea which helped me relax instantly. I took a seat to settle in and enjoy while looking over some books by Eckhart Tolle and Yung Pueblo. After a few moments, she guided me to where we were holding the session and showed me where I could put my things. We discussed what brought me in and dived deeper into pain points and history from the information provided in the form filled out prior to arriving. We also talked about how I wanted to feel after the session. She described what her thoughts were as to how she wanted to approach the session, step by step, from start to finish to get my feedback. It excited me and put me at ease hearing the custom plan made for my specific visit and displayed her expertise. I trusted her guidance and followed her lead. She had some relaxing sounds going in the background and offered some essential oils to add to the experience before leaving the room to allow me to undress and get comfy on the table. Her voice was very soothing, giving clear directions and the pressure was consistent throughout, firm yet gentle. I was soon very much out of my head and into my body and felt like a brand new person afterwards. I almost didn’t want to get up but eventually gathered myself and got dressed. She asked how I was feeling and what I was doing after and upon replying “getting food” she offered some recommendations in the area as well as offering me some more tea and a selection of healthy snacks to take with me. Shirley is the absolute best to say the least and is highly appreciated for all she does. SpiritScienceMedicine is such a beautiful environment that I’d refer everyone to experience for themselves!! I’ll definitely be returning :)

Shirley is the absolute best! I’m a mom with a career so super stressed! Shirley works WONDERS! I am transported to the land of healing and relaxation when I’m on her table. She is good. She takes time to get to know her clients in effort to personalize the massage experience. She’s a great listener and provides guidance on techniques that can be worked on independently after her session. I am looking forward to my next massage!
Also, the suite is easy to get to and plenty of parking if driving in. Go check her out!

Shirley is awesome! I booked a massage because my body was stiff and aching. I was extremely sore for the first day and a half, but after that, I felt so light and rejuvenated. I just came back from camping, and even after 5 days of camping and sleeping on an air mattress, my body doesn’t ache at all—a true testament to Shirley’s incredible skills. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real relief and relaxation. I can’t wait for our next session!

I did a virtual tapping session with Shirley. She has such a calm and welcoming demeanor. It was my first time tapping, and she took the time to learn more about my personal objectives with tapping, and explained ways I can incorporate or adapt the practice as needed. We had a personalized session that lasted about 45 minutes.
It was really great to learn another tool I can use to regulate my nervous system and mitigate stress. Highly recommend anyone looking for a caring practitioner to check out Shirley!

I had my first Postural restoration therapy session at Spiritsciencemedicine with Shirley and it was such an intentional and healing session. Such a peaceful and soothing environment, I instantly felt very calm and welcomed. Shirley is full of knowledge and has an inviting energy making it easy to connect and work with. I have been on a journey to better connect with my body and spirit and I have learned so much from her! During our session, we worked on breathing techniques that made me feel more connected to my body.
After our session, I instantly felt lighter, relaxed and felt a deeper connection with myself. She taught me ways I can keep on with therapy at home which is extremely helpful! They offer services like holistic massages and tapping(emotional freedom technique) which i am excited to try next ! Spiritsciencemedicine truly is a gem! I I am excited & look forward to keep working with Shirley as she has become a big part of my healing journey.

Shirley is an ACTUAL GOD SEND! I came in for postural restoration (PRI) and it blew my mind! I was in the U.S. Army for 8 years in the infantry and my body has gone through a lot. I've been hit by a car before, fell on my back a few times, and now spend most of my time sitting at a desk. Needless to say, I had a lot of head, neck, back, and knee issues on top of finding out from her tests that I'm also walking incorrectly.
I've tried physical therapy, working out the muscles around my problem areas, and "correcting my posture" when I sit and walk. Nothing has helped some of the pain I've felt more than doing PRI. It truly is amazing and I can't thank you enough!

I recently had a tapping session with Shirley, and WOW! I didn't know a technique so simple could feel so therapeutic, and I think that's primarily due to Shirley! She's incredibly patient, nonjudgmental, and supportive. We started the session by talking through the intention I wanted to address, and her follow-up questions were so attentive, understanding, and spot-on.

Shirley is great at what she does. That's the first thing I have to say! Typically, I'm rather socially anxious with meeting new people (in any capacity) and I felt none of that with Shirley. Her presence is relaxing, friendly, caring and full of joy. I felt comfortable and comforted. Our practices involved breathing exercises and EFT tapping. It was revolutionary for me. These guided practices connected me to my body and made me feel as though I had ownership of my own experience. I felt grounded, yet lightweight. It felt as if misplaced energy had been restored. Shirley was great at asking questions, at listening and truly getting to understand the core of my intentions before we began our practice. It was an incredible experience.

Shirley always relaxes, recharges, and restores me with her massages. I've tried a couple of different massages: Thai, clinical, rest & restore. Each have their own unique qualities and important for my body depending on what's going on in my life.
I recently got the rest and restore massage and it's the best massage I've ever experienced. Shirley sets the room with a calming presence, guides you through your breathing, and helps you settle into your body. Throughout the massage, my body was able to fully relax and even go into a deep stage of reflection, connecting movements to memories and allowing the massage to bring moments of reflection and healing. I really loved the massage not only for the physical aspect, but the spiritual and emotional release it helped me to experience too.

This was my first massage with Shirley and I have to say it was one of, if not the best massage I’ve ever had. She is amazing! What I liked was that she really catered the massage to what was bothering me, but also worked other parts that were hurting that I hadn’t realized bothered me. I did the restore massage and she starts by explaining what she will be doing and expectation of massage. You start with a breathing exercise, then the massage which targets the problem areas and she will add in sound bowls and frequency to enhance the massage. I just felt so great after.

She actually listens to you when you tell her what's bothering you and she understands, unlike most health practitioners who believe they think they know you better than you know yourself. I don't know about you guys, but I personally don't want anyone touching my body who believes they know me better than I know myself. On the contrary, I want someone who believes they know how to *help* me help myself and wants to work with me and with my body -- not against me or against it. There are many practitioners out there who believe their way is the best way -- but Shirley's way is simply what works best for each individual person. She understands that each person's body has a different history, and therefore requires different attention. Shirley has been working on my body for years at this point, and every time we're through with a session I feel like she worked some sort of magic. Suddenly, I can move my neck again (lol). I get mobility in my back and chest again (lol). I go from being a walking Frankenstein to a normal, functioning human being once more ready to join society again. So, yeah. If you're looking for a massage therapist who is dedicated, consistent, and treats all of her clients with love and respect, then Shirley is your lady. She is here for the long run, and I've never met anyone more involved in deepening and expanding the breadth of their work. 5 stars all around. Thank you for all of the ways in which you've helped my body over the years, Shirley. I have come so far since we first met. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
