I plan to make it a regular part of my life. After my session I noticed that I was not only pain free, but most of all I felt very peaceful and de-stressed." - Heather Ruiz, owner Roslindale Yoga |
| "I had a major fight coming up, UFC 91 with Aaron Riley, and was preparing with a 6 week training camp at Sityodtong w/ Mark DellaGrotte. What a great staff he has there, I love it! A few weeks into training and no cortisone shots I was in agony, my right arm was in so much pain from bone spurs in my elbow, which had been bothering me for a while. It was really annoying and interfered with my training; I was at a point where I would do anything to relieve the pain! Mark introduced me to Shelley, I told her that my massage therapist usually works it out but it’s generally painful. She said she would not cause me any more pain and simply placed her hands on me! We also spoke about various life experiences that she explained we’re stored in my body and were being released. After two Reiki Therapy sessions with her it made a huge difference, I was more focused, relaxed and was able to continue training! With much gratitude I would highly recommend her!" - Jorge Gurgel, Ultimate Fighter Season 2, UFC Veteran | ![]() |

Message left on voice mail: "Listen- I'm thinking of you all day. I can't describe to you how much it still works. And ah, I just feel brand new, I just feel so different and so magical and amazing and peaceful and just everything fell into perspective. God! You're such a powerful healer and I wanted to let you know how much I'm grateful to you. So I'm looking forward to return even just a morsel of what ever you gave me. And I will see you soon, ok bye, bye." - Lena Hindman |
| "Thanks Shelley, I think you definitely helped. Looking back, I needed to do more about execution of strategy and execution of technique. I would like to continue to do that work. It helped keep me calm for sure and kept me relaxed before the fight as well which lead to little stress." - Ken Florian, UFC fighter and lightweight title contender | ![]() |

"I recently went to a conference in Boston. When I got off the flight I realized that something was not right with my back. On the way to the hotel, the pain increased to the point that I had trouble walking. I had never had a Reiki massage and when a friend of mine suggested it, I was hesitant. Shelley recognized my reluctance and worked with me to make me feel comfortable. Whatever she did, the pain subsided and I was able to continue doing my job at the conference. It was a great experience and opened my eyes to holistic fitness and health. I may not understand it, but I highly recommend Shelley based on my personal experience." - Donato Diorio, Chief Executive Officer, Broadlook Technologies, NEAPS Conference 2008 |

"Hello Shelley:
I wanted to thank you for the 10 minute tune up - at the conference. It was such a joy meeting you and learning about Reiki. This was my first experience with Reiki and I was not sure what to expect - especially since I was getting ready to go on stage to deliver a comedy routine - and am always a bit nervous before I perform. Your 10 minute tune up gave me the ability to calm down and get emotionally prepared for the show. As a performer, I am usually nervous prior to going on stage and for a few minutes just before I take the stage, this time it was different for me. I was more centered and was able to let the comedy "flow" through me. Thank you - for giving me the insight to use my energy within me to ground myself accessing my comedic nature." - Mary Ellen Rinaldi, NEAPS Conference 2008 | ![]() |

"I love kickboxing!! I've never been athletic or someone who would stick to a gym program for more than a couple of weeks. I joined Dedham Yoga about 9 months ago and I love it! Shelley continues to come up with ideas to make each class different so it never gets boring. You don't have that dreaded feeling of going to the gym and running on the treadmill. It's such a fun workout with a great instructor and great people. It is perfect for all levels of fitness. I never once felt uncomfortable or embarrassed and that says a lot for me as I said before, athletics were never my cup of tea! You get to punch, kick and work off any stress. I never thought I could be one of those people who got up early and exercised before work but I enjoy the class so much it's just part of my schedule now. And an added bonus, I have gone down an entire pant size!! What a perfect excuse to go shopping J. I can even see muscle tone in my arms and legs! Such a confidence booster. Hope this doesn't sound like an infomerical because it really is so much fun and a great workout. Thanks Shelley for kicking my butt into shape!!!" - Lisa Barone |
| "I love it! It is so different from a traditional kickboxing class! Shelley varies the workout each time so we work on so many things for a well rounded and fun workout!! I'm doing things I never could do before!! Punching and kicking really helps get rid of daily stress! and makes for great exercise! The morning time is great too 'get it over with' and you feel good all day. It's so hard to do things alone, but with this class-the instructor and the others going through the movements with you, you stay focused and motivated to plug on!" - Cara Crisafulli | ![]() |

"It has helped me reduce pain, stress. I feel more flexible. I wasn't really sure what yoga was about til now. It's tough but it works! I was having left sided pain -- shoulder, stomach -- that didn't want to go away. After doing the yoga for a couple weeks, the pain was gone. Don't know how or why but I'll take it!" - Cara Crisafulli |
