Meet the Therapist"Hi. I'm Deborah. I'm the owner of Body N Soul Massage and am a nationally certified therapeutic massage bodyworker. Book an appointment with me!"

Hi, my name is Deborah Shahadey.  I grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana.  At 18, I began exploring different states and countries.  I lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Nevada (Las Vegas), Florida (Fort Lauderdale), and Germany (Kaiserslautern).  

    I attended Nevada School of Massage Therapy (graduating in May 2000) studying a wide variety of healing modalities including Swedish massage, Acupressure, Anatomy & Physiology, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Deep Tissue, Facilitated Stretching, Hydrotherapy,  Touch For Health, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Sports, Russian Sports, Seated Massage, Shiatsu, Infant Massage, Injury Massage, and Trigger Point Therapy.   

     After this, I was employed by the world-renowned Canyon Ranch Spa Club.  I then moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where I  received my Florida State massage license (#0035435) and began studying Thai Massage.  I also completed the requirements to become a Nationally Certified Therapeutic Massage Bodyworker (NCBTMB #310314-00).   While in Florida, I worked at The Westin Diplomat Country Club & Spa as well as Marriott Harbor Beach The Spa.

    On March 28, 2002, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocitic Leukemia (ALL) and underwent chemotherapy for one year.  I moved back to Terre Haute, Indiana to do this.  I completed chemotherapy April 23, 2003.  I am in complete remission with a clean bill of health and no expected relapse.

    I opened Body N Soul Massage June 2003 in Terre Haute, IN.  I strive to keep up with the new products and techniques in the massage field.  I attended the spa convention in Las Vegas, Nevada in June 2003.  December 18, 2003, I married Joe Shahadey.  March 2004, Body N Soul Massage bought Therapeutic Awareness Center in Terre Haute, Indiana, and merged the two companies.  

August 2005, I began attending St Mary of the Woods College pursuing a bachelor's degree in Equine Studies with a double major of Equine Studies Training and Instructing/Minor in Equine Science.  In the future, I plan to become certified in Equine Sports Massage Therapy.  After this, I will focus on both equine and human massage. 

October 2007, I reopened Body N Soul Massage at the present Davis Drive location.  March 2011, I moved to my permanent location.
