If you have the opportunity to meet Dr. Shannon Barrett, do not pass it up. Your body, your mind and your energy will thank you. I live with numerous painful conditions involving my spine, and I have had several sessions of Physical Therapy as well as other approaches to help me keep moving through my life with some level of comfort.

I visited Shannon with several issues that had been affecting my quality of life with nagging pain. Shannon made me feel very relaxed & comfortable as she assessed my situation. Amazingly, within just one session she used her deep knowledge & intuition to get to the root causes & have me great advice and tools to begin healing. After a few sessions, and following her advice, my pain went away & im thriving again. I highly recommend Shannon for any physical issues as well as getting the mind right, as the mind & body are connected. - Adam Peot

Shannon is incredibly smart and you can tell she loves what she does. She’s proactive in sessions, and makes the PT experience so enjoyable and I learned so much about my body and anatomy working with her! I was dealing with some back pain which was so hard to pin point the cause of pain but Shannon helped me to modify my yoga practice and now I don’t feel pain in my back anymore! Highly recommend her 👍🏽
