My name is Shannon McKnight and I am a licensed massage therapist in the State of Ohio. I received my massage education at the respected SHI Medical Massage School in Lebanon, OH.
Prior to completing my massage education I attended the University of Cincinnati where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and a Master of Science in Clinical Addiction Studies. While I am not licensed in the State of OH as a counselor, I have found the skills I learned while obtaining my degree and through my initial work in that field to be very beneficial in maintaining the sacred space necessary for my clients.
I am married and the mother of five beautiful children. Our three sons are biological and our daughters are adopted. I also do work with adoptive families using craniosacral therapy as a way to transition into their new life as a blended family.
My training as a craniosacral therapist was initiated during my massage education, and I have since completed additional courses from the Upledger Institute, learning techniques from respected practitioner Michael Morgan.

- Ohio Licensed Massage Therapist #33.017239 - State Medical Board of Ohio
