SpiritScienceMedicine

SpiritScienceMedicine is a small holistic studio in West Town led by Shirley, and almost every review centres on her. She teaches EFT Pilates classes and one-to-one Pilates sessions, and also offers holistic massage, postural restoration, breath work and workshops. Reviewers describe warm, inviting, intimate rooms and an atmosphere of peace and acceptance. Pilates students praise her ability to break down positions before each set, give useful adjustments, and teach breathing and mind-body connection, which makes her popular with beginners and with a vocal performer who noticed his voice change. Others came for massage or postural work for shoulder and SI joint pain or after a difficult birth and describe lasting relief. It suits people who want Pilates alongside bodywork, in a very personal setting.

  I have been working with Shirley at SpiritScienceMedicine for close to a year and so grateful to have been connected with her! I initially started seeing her for holistic massage, which has been so healing for my mind and body. I had an extremely traumatic birth and c-section experience with complications. I wasn’t initially expecting to work on this area when I started the sessions, but talking to Shirley and sharing my birth experience, she suggested working on the scar and abdomen area. I could barely look at the scar let alone touch it myself, and the tissue was tight and uncomfortable there. It was so helpful and healing to have it worked on, and I HIGHLY suggest ANYONE who has had a c-section do this! It restored feeling to the area, the scar itself looks much more healed and less gruesome, and it helped me with my trauma around the birth experience. There doesn’t seem to be a timeline on the impact this could make, as I was close to 2 years postpartum when we started the work, so I was surprised at the level of change I witnessed. I also have been seeing Shirley for the Postoral Restoration service, its been great as I felt like I didn’t know where to start on my healing journey or how to move my body, and she gave me gentle yet effective movements to do at home between sessions that have been really helpful and that I can continue to practice long term. She also did a shoe fitting evaluation, and as a person who grew up wearing Converse and Toms, It was amazing to have walking shoes that fit my body properly. That alone has helped with a lot of my back pain, as I walk a lot. I cannot recommend Shirley and SpiritScienceMedicine more to anyone who wants to start or continue a healing journey! Our body holds so much, and it’s magical to see positive changes physically and mentally from this type of body work.

  Shirley is amazing at what she does and has a broad range of techniques and healing specialties. I went in for postural restoration because of chronic pain in my shoulder and SI joint that made it difficult to walk. Even after the first session I had tools that drastically reduced this pain and after a series of sessions the pain I had for years is completely gone! The pilates classes have also been a great supplement to this therapy and help me better understand how my body moves.

  I took the EFT Pilates class and the energy she creates is so grounding. Shirley is so knowledgeable and truly embodies what she teaches. I am excited to tap into all her different service offerings because I felt a huge energetic shift from doing just one class.
