Shanti is an incredibly knowledgeable massage therapist and really helped me in Hawaii after a weekend of snorkeling in Kona and Hilo. I loved that he is able to take care of actual issues and gives a really amazing massage. I was having constant ear and sinus pain from flying and he really relieved my symptoms. read more

I have been seeing Shanti as a massage client on and off since 2008. He was an incredible massage therapist back then, and has only grown in skill since.

My wife and I have been getting therapeutic massages from Shanti for many years. We are now in Tucson and each had a massage yesterday. Shanti has constantly improved over the years and yesterday's massages were both excellent. He has added a steam tent treatment which we opted to try out. It was very pleasant and relaxing. I am looking forward to a few more sessions while we're in the area. I recommend him highly. read more

After seeing dozens of practitioners over 10+ years of chronic pain and compensatory patterns, Shanti was the first where I actually felt seen as a whole person rather than a jumble of problems to fix. He seamlessly weaves together manual techniques and practical insights from an incredible range of modalities, while actively incorporating and tailoring to my own personal experience. Beyond being an incredibly effective hands-on massage and manual therapy session, insights from his highly personalized approach have fundamentally changed the way I understand and interact with my body. Plus, he's a genuinely lovely person. Kind, professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more

I have been receiving bodywork treatments from Mr. Shanti Mendola for over 15 years (since he graduated the providence institute). The things I like best about Shanti is that I have never seen him stop on his journey of learning, his techniques and bag of tricks are ever expanding (GET THE STEAM TENT TREATMENT) and I always leave each session feeling refreshed and physically better than when I walked in the door. The sheets are always clean and cozy, Shanti is extremely professional, the space is always clean and inviting, and whenever my body says "I need an emergency massage/bodywork session" Shanti always seems to be able to squeeze me in. 1 million stars if I could.... read more

Shanti is a gifted healer who has a lot of tools at his disposal. He has worked on me several times and I always feel much better after.

Shanti is in tune with your body and leaves you feeling so much better than when you arrive. I would highly recommend him.

In the fall of 2024, after an encouraging recommendation, I went to Shanti Mendola with a severe case of sciatica that had me mostly bedridden. He proved to be very caring, sensitive and knowledgeable, and also works intuitively to deliver what is needed. He has a well equipped studio and many healing modalities at his disposal. Shanti's expert bodywork helped me tremendously in my recovery and I consider him a true healer. read more

I went to Shanti at the suggestion of a friend who has been a body worker and Reiki Master for over 30 years. She told me Shanti is one of the very best she has ever seen. I have not been disappointed! Shanti's work triggers very deep responses and releases where I never expected. I feel a sense of balance and connection that I have not felt before! Thanks read more

I am thrilled to recommend Shanti as a highly qualified massage therapist. I began working with Shanti 3 yrs ago after some life changing experiences. he starts each session with a conversation about your body , what your concerns are and areas that need work. He really listens. That means each massage is unique to your body. He is warm and caring, and works to make the whole experience an amazing one. Kathy N read more

Shanti is a gifted, intuitive therapist who goes above and beyond to address both the body and mind. His compassionate approach and expert touch (one of the most respectful male massage therapists I've been to btw), left me feeling lighter, grounded, energized and truly cared for-- like he understood exactly what my body needed. The combination of his alternative techniques, mindful lifestyle guidance, and genuine warmth makes every session transformative. If you're looking to reduce stress, improve your posture or heal injuries, while reconnecting with yourself, Shanti is the real deal. read more
