Shanie Matthews
Wellness for a happier you.
After years of living with chronic pain, major injuries, and the emotional toll they brought, I began asking myself the toughest questions:
- Why does this pain define my life?
- Why do I feel trapped by it?
These questions led me to explore not just the physical injuries but also the mental and emotional wounds they created. My pain was as much a reflection of buried trauma as it was of physical damage.
My healing journey wasn’t straightforward. I sought therapists, coaches, and deepened my studies in somatics, yoga therapy, brain health, and trauma recovery. Through trial and error, I discovered that true healing requires an integrated approach—combining breathwork, gentle movement, meditation, sound healing, neuroplasticity, and emotional resilience. These tools didn’t just alleviate pain; they transformed it into a teacher, guiding me toward growth and freedom.
For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping others reclaim their lives from barriers to freedom. With a master’s in yoga therapy and currently in training to become a licensed therapist, I combined education with lived experience to develop a holistic, intuitive approach. My work integrates cognitive tools, therapeutic yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and mindfulness, all tailored to help clients reconnect with their bodies and heal long-held trauma.
This journey isn’t about degrees or techniques alone—it’s about having faced the darkest places within myself and finding the way out. That lived experience is what equips me to guide others.
If you’re ready to break free from chronic pain and rediscover your life, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we can create lasting change and build tools to support your healing for a lifetime.

Shanie is a wonderful somatic therapist. She guides sessions with a balance of instruction and silence. The silence allows me to focus on the internal aspects of the practice. I am very grateful for her openness and humanity.

I love My Happy Path Online Yoga Studio. It allows me to do a healing sessions at my convenience and allows me to choose what type of sessions to do. Shanie does a wonderful job of explaining what moves to make and her voice is very calming. I would highly recommend joining My Happy Path Yoga.
-Stacie M.
experiencing pain in my knees and hips with chronic low energy for a long time. Shanie listened to me, and created a program for me that I could easily continue with at home. The benefits have been above and beyond my expectations. One example is that I always thought I had good posture, but this was one of the areas Shanie helped me improve with multiple benefits in other areas including better balance.
There is a beautiful intuitiveness about Shanie and the healing atmosphere she creates is calm and joyful. All of the areas I was concerned about have improved significantly and I am very grateful to have found a talented and knowledgeable therapist in Shanie!
With thanks, Colleen

Shanie is an inspiring therapist. After one of her sessions I always feel so connected to my body in a more spiritual way. Her positive energy lets your own inner sparkle shine through.
-Heather Kenison
Shanie brought her great gifts of intuition, wisdom, spirituality, expertise, love and compassion to all our therapy sessions. She joyfully and willingly guided my personal practice for exactly what my body needed in 1:1 and group sessions and even made me personal audios and video to use in my daily practice. She came into my life at a time when I needed deep healing and I am so grateful for all that she offered.
-Shoshana Leah
I have had the opportunity to work with Shanie Matthews in a one on one therapeutic setting. I found my time with her very valuable. Due to autoimmune issues, I have high inflammation and muscle cramping that require me to adjust my lifestyle and approach to exercise. Frankly, my recent attempts to start an exercise program have been so frustrating, that I had considered giving up on fitness.
Shanie has helped me put together a program that works with my body issues. She has encouraged me towards specific exercises to reduce inflammation and to balance my energy.
Shanie has an incredible level of knowledge and is able to combine guidance on breathing, strengthening moves, relaxation poses and energizing. She is generous with her knowledge and quite capable of creating a program customized for my needs. Working in a one-on-one setting has helped me tremendously. I find myself moving forward in my healing journey through her sessions.
If you are looking for somatic therapy or even just to get past one problematic body area, I highly recommend sessions with Shanie.
