MEET YOUR HOLISTIC PRACTIONER

Shanquila “Q” Sylve, LMT, PFc., CMLDT

Hi, I’m Q.

Founder of MAVEN & MUSE.
Wife. Mama of four. Faith-led somatic practitioner.

My journey into this work began four years ago when I started experiencing unexplained health issues. I went from specialist to specialist, desperate for answers — but each appointment left me more confused and more hopeless. I remember praying, “God, please show me what’s going on with my body.” I couldn’t take the chaos I was feeling inside anymore.

Through prayer and reflection, I was led to the truth: there was unresolved sexual trauma that had been buried deep — and now, it was manifesting physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The very things I had spent years studying… I was now living. Trapped emotions do find a way to speak through the body.

So I went deeper. I started therapy. I began working with various practitioners. But I kept feeling something was missing. That’s when God placed it on my heart — what I needed didn’t quite exist yet. A trauma-informed, somatic space that honored the wisdom of the body and the presence of God.

That’s when MAVEN & MUSE began to shift.

I created the very thing I was searching for:
A safe, faith-rooted space for women to release, reconnect, and restore.
Where worship music is welcome.
Where you can breathe, feel, and heal without shame.
Where your beliefs, your story, your body — are all honored.

Every session I offer is grounded in compassion, nervous system care, and trauma-informed touch. I hold space the way I always longed to be held — with presence, prayer, and purpose.

There’s a synchronizing that happens here.
And it can only be experienced.

I’m so honored to walk this healing journey with you.
