About Us; History of Body Benefits Massage

Body Benefits Massage originated in 1991 with two massage therapists. Shawn Bates, owner of Body Benefits, took her ideas from business college and combined them with her need to help others. Her athletic background and desire to understand the body and spirit better brought her through the training of massage therapy at the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts. She has massage experience working in spa facilities, health clubs and resorts. She has previous careers in hospitality, swim instruction and fitness.

Over the past decade, Shawn has continued her work and education.

She has completed her certification in Paul St. John's Neuromuscular therapy in 2000. In addition to using her NMT skills for many of her clients needs, she specializes in deep tissue and focus work. She works with the intention of treating the fascia and muscle tissues and their injuries. Other therapists of Body benefits bring their knowledge and skills to the team and help keep our standards high.

We are continuously sharing information with each other, such as from recent continuing education classes we are each required to take, as well as exchanging techniques and skills.
