What to Expect:
The 10-Session Structural Integration series is a comprehensive bodywork treatment that progressively realigns and restores balance to your body. The work is cumulative, meaning each session builds on the last, gradually improving how your body moves, feels, and functions. The benefits of completing this series are far-reaching, and many of my clients experience lasting improvements in several key areas:
- Chronic Pain Relief:
Structural Integration is particularly effective for people who have been living with chronic pain, tension, or discomfort that doesn’t respond to other treatments. By addressing the deeper layers of fascia, we can release tightness, correct postural imbalances, and provide relief from long-standing discomfort. - Improved Posture:
Many people experience improvements in posture as the series progresses. Whether it’s a misaligned spine, shoulders, or pelvis, Structural Integration helps re-establish natural balance, which can reduce strain on the body and alleviate pain caused by poor alignment. - Enhanced Movement and Flexibility:
If you’ve experienced stiffness, limited mobility, or restricted movement due to injuries or postural imbalances, this package will help you regain a more fluid, natural range of motion. As tension is released, you’ll feel lighter and more flexible, making everyday movements feel easier and more comfortable. - Increased Energy and Vitality:
As your body becomes better aligned and more balanced, many clients report feeling more energized and vibrant. Proper body alignment allows for improved circulation and oxygen flow, leaving you with more energy to take on daily activities and perform at your best. - Long-Lasting Results:
Unlike temporary fixes, the changes made during this 10-session series are lasting. The benefits continue to integrate and improve for months, and many clients find that their bodies continue to feel better and function more efficiently long after the series is completed. - Enhanced Recovery from Injury or Surgery:
For those recovering from an injury or surgery, Structural Integration can help speed up recovery by addressing areas of tension, improving circulation, and restoring alignment. The work targets both physical recovery and overall wellness.
Before & After:
Before we start the 10-session series, we’ll have a Pre-Treatment Assessment Session where we’ll take a detailed look at your posture, movement patterns, and any areas of pain or discomfort.This session will give me all the information I need to customize the 10 session series of Structural Integration. This helps us track your progress throughout the series. After completing the 10 sessions of Structural Integration, we’ll have a final Post-Treatment Assessment session. During your last session we will do a 30 minute assessment to review the progress you’ve made and discuss the next steps. We will again take a detailed look at your posture, movement patterns, and improvements in pain or discomfort. This assessment is all about ensuring you see what you’ve gained from the 10 sessions and discuss how you can maintain those improvements moving forward and what your next steps are. We will also do a 60 minute Craniosacral Therapy session to further assist your body in optimal integration.
Cumulative Sessions:
The 10 sessions are progressive, meaning each one builds on the last. As we move through the series, you’ll start feeling more balanced, aligned, and flexible. Even after the series ends, your body will continue to process and integrate the changes, with improvements continuing over time.
Follow-Up Work:
Many clients choose to follow up maintenance work. This follow-up maintenance work helps:
- Maintain progress and ensure that the benefits from the original series are sustained.
- Address new areas that may have developed over time.
- Fine-tune alignment and keep your body functioning at its best.
Why It Works:
Structural Integration isn’t just massage—it’s a therapeutic bodywork technique that addresses the deeper causes of pain, misalignment, and movement dysfunction. It works through the fascia (connective tissue) to realign your body and restore balance, allowing for lasting relief from pain, improved posture, and better overall movement. The results you experience are sustainable because the body continues to integrate the changes long after the sessions are complete.
Your Commitment:
The 10-Session Structural Integration Series is ideal for anyone who is serious about making long-term changes in their body. If you’re tired of living with chronic pain or want to enhance your movement, this 12-session membership is the perfect solution to help you heal, align, and move better.

Pre-Treatment Assessment Session: Mobility, Pain, Tension & Post-Op Care
Duration: 60 minutes
Cost: $225
Hey there, and welcome! I’m Carissa Shima, and I’m so glad you’ve taken the first step toward reclaiming your vitality, freedom from pain, and the active lifestyle you deserve. In our time together, we’re going to do more than just get to know your body—we’ll understand the story behind your pain, pinpoint what’s holding you back, and lay out a clear, actionable plan for your recovery and ongoing wellness.
What to Expect in Your Assessment Session
This 60-minute session is all about getting to the root cause of your issues. While there won’t be any hands-on bodywork in this session, it’s an essential first step for understanding your body’s needs and how we can work together to achieve your goals. Here’s how we’ll spend our time together:
Step 1: Your Personalized Evaluation (30 minutes)
This first part is all about you. I want to know everything about how your body feels, your medical history, your lifestyle, and your goals. We’ll go through a thorough assessment where we’ll discuss:
Your medical history and any past injuries or surgeries.
Your current pain points, restrictions, and discomforts.
Your daily routines and how your body handles the demands of your life, whether it’s from sports, work, or life in general.
Your wellness goals, what you want to achieve, and the best possible outcomes for you.
This isn’t just a basic intake form—it’s a conversation where I’ll listen to everything that’s been happening with your body. You’ve been living with this pain, tension, or discomfort for a while, and it’s time to figure out why and how we’re going to address it.
From there, we’ll discuss your assessment. Based on my years of experience and training, I’ll outline what I think is happening in your body—whether it’s a misalignment, postural imbalance, chronic muscle tension, or scar tissue from surgery. This is where we start connecting the dots between your symptoms and the best ways to address them.
If you’re recovering from surgery—whether cosmetic or orthopedic—I’ll ensure the session is customized to address post-op concerns like swelling, scar tissue, or limited mobility. With my background in post-surgical recovery, I’ll offer guidance on how we can work together to support your healing process and help you regain full function.
Step 2: Treatment Protocol & Next Steps Discussion (30 minutes)
Once we’ve gone over the important details, we’ll discuss the best treatment plan to get you where you want to be. The main focus here is to get you into the right treatment protocol to address your specific needs and what membership that includes hands-on treatment is tailored to your body.
I’ll explain how the hands-on work provided in the recommended membership will be key to resolving your pain, improving your posture, and restoring your mobility. This treatment will focus on realigning your body, addressing any soft tissue restrictions, and improving movement patterns. As we go through each session, we’ll be systematically addressing the issues you’re facing, so you can experience long-lasting relief.
Alongside the hands-on work, exercise and stretching recommendations will be given as we move through the treatment plan. These are designed to support and enhance the progress made during the hands-on sessions, ensuring that you maintain the gains we’ve made and prevent future flare-ups or discomfort. Whether it’s corrective exercises to strengthen certain areas, stretches to improve flexibility, or adjustments to your daily movement patterns, I’ll make sure you’re equipped with the tools you need to stay pain-free.
At the end of this session, you’ll leave with:
A clear understanding of the treatment plan that’s been tailored to your body’s unique needs.
A step-by-step path for getting the hands-on care that will solve your issue, along with personalized exercises and stretching techniques to support your healing process.
Clarity on how we’ll address your pain, improve your posture, and optimize your movement through the right combination of hands-on therapy and self-care strategies.
This session is the first step toward making the changes you’ve been longing for. My goal is for you to walk away with clarity and confidence in the plan we’ve set in place for your recovery. You don’t have to live with pain or discomfort. I’m here to help you get back to feeling like yourself—vital, energized, and free from limitations.
As we work together, I’ll also be mindful of how stress and emotional well-being can play a role in your pain and recovery. I want you to feel not only physically better, but also more relaxed, balanced, and in tune with your body.
You’ll receive ongoing, personalized care after this session as we stay in communication, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and ensure that we’re consistently working toward your long-term health goals.
I can’t wait to work with you and help you unlock your body’s full potential.
With warmth and care,
