Hi! I’m Shanquila, feel free to call me “Q”.

For a long time, I was the woman trying to hold it all together.

As a wife, mother of four, business owner, and caregiver to everyone around me, I became very familiar with pushing through exhaustion, ignoring what my body was trying to tell me, and believing that rest could wait until everything else was done.

Like many women, I found myself searching for answers. I wanted to understand why stress seemed to live in my body, why healing wasn't always straightforward, and why so many women felt disconnected from themselves despite doing everything "right."

What began as a personal journey became a professional calling.

The more I learned about the nervous system, lymphatic health, stress, inflammation, and the body's remarkable ability to heal, the more I realized that many of the women sitting across from me weren't broken. They were overwhelmed, overextended, and carrying far more than anyone could see.

That realization changed everything.

Today, through MAVEN & MUSE, I help women reconnect with their bodies through restorative therapies, nervous system support, lymphatic care, education, and practical wellness tools.

My work combines professional training in manual lymphatic therapy, craniosacral therapy, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, auriculotherapy, prenatal wellness, and restorative care with something equally important: understanding what it feels like to navigate real life while trying to care for yourself.

I don't believe wellness should feel complicated.

I believe your body was designed with wisdom.

I believe symptoms are communication.

I believe restoration is possible.

At MAVEN & MUSE, science and faith exist side by side. My approach is grounded in evidence-informed practices and a deep belief that our bodies were created with an incredible capacity for healing, adaptation, and restoration when given the proper support.

Every experience is thoughtfully curated, from the techniques used during your session to the premium botanical oils and custom essential oil blends selected to support your individual needs. Because healing is never one-size-fits-all, your care shouldn't be either.

Whether you're seeking relief from chronic stress, support for your nervous system, guidance on your wellness journey, or simply a place to slow down and reconnect with yourself, my hope is that you'll find more than a service here.

You'll find a place for restoration.

This work is personal to me because I know what it feels like to need restoration.

And it's an honor to help others find it.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
