My Practice

Everything I do is centered on your story, your body, and your goals—because real healing starts with listening and a truly personalized approach.

My Mission

I provide personalized, results-driven bodywork that helps you heal at the root—restoring balance, relieving pain, and unlocking your body’s natural ability to move and thrive.

From the Founder

“For over two decades, I’ve dedicated myself to helping people break free from pain, restore balance in their bodies, and reconnect with the way they were meant to move and feel. At Carissa Shima Healing Bodywork, every session is guided by experience, compassion, and a deep belief that true healing happens when we treat the whole person. It’s a powerful thing to watch someone return to their life—pain-free, aligned, and fully themselves again.”

My Story

At Carissa Shima Healing Bodywork, I do healing differently. My focus is helping you move beyond pain and reclaim the vibrant, active life you’re meant to live. I’m here to help you get real answers—so you can finally stop guessing and start healing. Because that’s what true care should feel like.
After struggling with chronic back pain from sports injuries and feeling dismissed by conventional advice, I created a place where people like you—high-performers, post-surgical patients, and active adults over 40—can receive the kind of compassionate, results-focused care I once searched for myself.
Rooted in a deep understanding of the body and how it heals, my approach blends advanced hands-on therapies with a whole-person focus. Your body isn’t just a set of symptoms—it’s a story made up of your movement history, injuries, stress, and lifestyle. That’s why I take time to truly listen, assess, and personalize every session.
This work isn’t about chasing symptoms. It’s about helping you feel aligned, resilient, and free again. At Carissa Shima Healing Bodywork, I don’t offer quick fixes—I offer a path forward. One that helps you feel better, move better, and live better—starting now.
