About Carissa
Carissa Shima | Health & Wellness Therapeutic Bodywork Specialist
NVMT 11040 | www.carissashima.com
I help high-performing adults, post-surgical clients, and active individuals who are tired of managing pain, tension, or slow recovery finally feel strong, aligned, and pain-free again.
Most of my clients come to me after they’ve tried everything—massage, PT, chiropractic—and still feel stuck. That’s because what’s often missing is focused, intentional bodywork that addresses the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms.
I specialize in advanced hands-on therapies like Structural Integration, Craniosacral Therapy, Medical Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Corrective Movement. Every session is fully personalized and designed to support healing, restore mobility, and optimize performance.
This isn’t just about feeling better for a day—it’s about helping your body heal and stay that way. Whether you're recovering from surgery, battling old injuries, or trying to stay ahead of stress and aging, I'm here to help you move better, recover faster, and live fully.

At Carissa Shima Healing Bodywork, I help high-performing adults, weekend warriors, and post-surgical clients finally break free from chronic pain, tension, and recurring injuries—so they can live the strong, active, pain-free lives they work so hard to maintain.
Many of my clients are golfers, pickleball players, tennis enthusiasts, runners, triathletes, and athletes in midlife who are dedicated to staying fit, mobile, and performing at their best. Others come to me after surgery—whether it’s orthopedic (like a knee or shoulder repair) or cosmetic (like liposuction, breast augmentation, or a tummy tuck)—seeking a faster, more complete recovery.
What they all have in common is this: they’ve tried *everything*—massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, stretching, acupuncture—and they’re still not where they want to be. They’re frustrated, tired of chasing symptoms, and ready for something that actually works. That’s where I come in.
My work is rooted in strategic, hands-on bodywork that goes far deeper than relaxation or symptom relief. I combine Structural Integration, Craniosacral Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Medical Massage, and Corrective Movement into a fully customized approach designed to address the *root cause* of pain and imbalance.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine, I assess how your body is moving, where it’s compensating, and what’s limiting your progress. From there, I help you unwind long-held restrictions, improve posture, reduce inflammation, and restore ease and mobility—so your body can heal and function at its highest potential.
Clients often say, *“This is nothing like any massage I’ve ever had.”* That’s because it’s not massage—it’s a whole-body re-education that supports performance, speeds recovery, and creates results that last.
Whether you’re training hard, healing from surgery, or just feeling stuck in your body, this work helps you:
* Reduce pain and inflammation
* Recover faster from injury or surgery
* Improve posture, alignment, and movement
* Boost mobility, balance, and athletic performance
* Release stress and tension that’s been weighing you down
If you’ve been doing all the right things and still don’t feel quite right, this might be the missing piece.
