Cathleen “Shambhavi” Fitzpatrick

My work is grounded in the body’s innate ability to heal. I support this process by integrating therapeutic modalities that help restore balance across the physical, emotional, and mental body.

I began my career in dance and movement, studying and teaching for over 25 years, which led to a deep interest in anatomy and the body’s natural mechanics. I graduated from the New School for Massage, Bodywork, and Healing in Chicago in 2005, and later continued my studies in India, where I immersed myself in yoga, meditation, and yogic traditions. My training includes Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, yoga therapy, and prenatal yoga through Mount Madonna Center (CA), Sivananda Ashram (Kerala, India), and Yoga Vidya Gurukul (Nashik, India).

Each session is thoughtfully tailored, blending techniques such as Deep Tissue, Swedish, Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Thai Massage, and subtle breath and energy work. I create a calm, supportive space where clients can relax, reconnect, and experience the body’s natural capacity for healing.
