My journey into massage therapy began with my grandmother. Some of our most meaningful conversations happened while I massaged her feet as she recovered at home. She would often remind me in Gujarati, “There’s something in your hands. It always feels better when you massage them—do something with your hands.”
Although I first built a career in hospitality, working for over a decade and eventually becoming a general manager, I never forgot her words. While managing a corporate hotel full time, I enrolled in a massage therapy program and earned my license. A year later, I transitioned fully into this field, and in May 2015, I fulfilled a promise I made to my grandmother by opening Shanti Healing in Southern California.
After 2.5 wonderful years of running my own practice, marriage brought me to the Bay Area, where I continue to share my passion for healing. Nothing compares to the privilege of being part of my clients’ wellness journeys. Through therapeutic massage, I strive to help each person find relief, restore balance, and reconnect with themselves.
Wellness isn’t just about the body—it’s about the mind, spirit, and the way we show up in our daily lives. My goal is to provide not only hands-on care, but also knowledge and support that empower my clients to live healthier, more balanced lives.
