Shelli Lopes-Barnes CMT CMLDT
Drawing on over 25 years of advanced training and experience, Shelli’s intention is to provide
support and therapeutic touch to help manage everyday stress, injuries and life’s physical, emotional
and energetic challenges. Her approach is to navigate the body with you, using modalities that
integrate with the fluid system, nervous system and immune system. She will invite you to talk,
share, and ask questions about what she does and how it relates to your body.
Shelli trained in London at the Clare Maxwell Hudson School of Massage, graduating in 1994. As part of her training she chose to volunteer at the Royal Marsdon Cancer Hospital, working under Jeannie Dyer MSc. This experience helped her understand the value and meaning of compassionate touch.
15 years ago in Austin, Texas she started to pursue advanced training in lymphatics and other techniques. In the US, Shelli is certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (MLDT). She has extensive study in the Chikly Method of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy which are techniques that add a level of precision, enabling her to detect and palpate the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. While pursuing these studies Shelli worked alongside an acupuncturist in a family GP clinic, working together as a team on pain management,
addiction, gut health and everything in between.
Shelli uses an integrative approach that recognizes that no system works alone. Shelli works with all body types from elite athletes to everyday people wanting to live better and get to know their bodies in a different way. She uses a gentle approach, listening and responding to whatever the body communicating to her and the client.
