Guides Along the Healing Path
Our practitioners bring depth, skill, and genuine care to every session.
Nevada County has long attracted people committed to listening— to the land, the body, and the deeper causes of imbalance. Over time, healers across many disciplines settled here, each offering a different path toward the same goal: genuine, whole-person healing.
Healing Path formed naturally through connection, not construction. Practitioners met, collaborated, and aligned around the understanding that mental, physical, and spiritual health are inseparable. What emerged is a grounded, human-scale center where skilled care, presence, and place work together—reflecting both the wisdom of the community and the land that holds it.
Local Practitioners
Shanna Rogers is a licensed, insured massage therapist whose work goes far beyond a typical spa massage. Shanna specializes in chronic, familiar tension—neck, shoulders, low back, and hips—using focused trigger point work, slow intentional pressure, and continuous feedback to create real, lasting change. Each session begins with a thoughtful intake to understand injuries, pain patterns, and goals, allowing the massage to be tailored precisely to your body. Integrating heat, stones, aromatherapy, and fluid rhythm, her approach aligns seamlessly with Healing Path’s elemental philosophy, supporting mobility, nervous system calm, and deep physical ease.

Shelley Salvatore brings 28 years of experience guiding clients into calmer, more regulated states through skillful, evidence-aligned breathwork. Trained by Dr. Judith Kravitz, founder of Transformational Breath®, Shelley begins each session with breathing analysis to identify stress patterns—often shallow, chest-led breathing linked to chronic tension. She then guides clients into slow, diaphragmatic breathing, supported by gentle hands-on facilitation (Bodymapping) to help the breath move freely. This combination—breath, touch, sound, and focused awareness—supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and mental clarity.
