Shannon O'Neill-Loyola has over 11 of years of Spa Industry experience as a licensed Esthetician in New Jersey and New York City. Most notably at the esteemed Great Jones Spa. Her passion for learning as many facets of her profession enables her to give a special experience to everyone.

An interest in the Ayurvedic medicine system led her to train at the Aveda Institute in Manhattan. During her education she cultivated a passion for holistic approaches to skincare based on plant based ingredients and the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Shannon is fluent in many natural-based skincare lines such as Jurlique, Naturopathica and Dr. Hauschka.

Shannon's passion towards all aspects of healing brought her to become a Reiki Master Practitioner (2007) as well as a New York licensed Massage Therapist. Shannon studied at the Swedish Institute (2010-12), the founding school of massage in the country. She graduated with an Associates Degree in Health Science, specializing in Advanced Eastern bodywork. Through all of these modalities she is able to create specific facial treatments that are beyond the industry standard.

As an Energy Worker/ Reiki Practitioner with eight years of experience, Shannon incorporates the use of a pendulum, crystals for chakra balancing and sound vibrational tuning forks in her sessions. She currently takes appointments for energy work, Reiki, chakra balancing and table Shiatsu on Mondays at The St. Denis building in Union Square, Manhattan.

Recent review: I recently had a distance Reiki session with Shannon Leigh O'Neill-Loyola, an extremely gifted, Empathic Reiki Master. Shannon used only a recent photo of myself, and with that, read me by connecting with my higher consciousness. I have dealt with extremely difficult anger issues my entire life, never knowing why, or how they became a part of me. Shannon spent a half hour reading and balancing my chakras. She gave me the much needed understanding I needed within myself to grow as a person. The advice I was given has already made an incredible impact after one night. I, myself am a White Light Reiki Practitioner. I learned under my sister, who is a Psychic-Medium Reiki Master, and it is extremely difficult understanding all there is to know with a blood-related person being my teacher. This experience has helped me with acceptance. Shannon has helped bridge the gaps between my sister and I. I highly recommend Shannon. -Steph March.
