About
Anjuli Mahendra is a multi-modality massage therapist, teacher, and founder of Shakticura Healing Lounge. Her private practice, Embodied Resonance includes integrated bodywork, movement classes, coaching, and workshops that focus on opening the body to it’s highest potential.
Anjuli’s healing practice is an integrated form of structural and Thai bodywork focused on balancing the body with connective tissue elongation, deep stretching, compression, acupressure, and intuitive unwinding. Her practice incorporates a range of techniques informed by traditional healing arts systems including Shiatsu and Taoist bodywork and can include abdominal massage to balance the organs and meridians of the body. Anjuli’s therapeutic, intuitive touch has been helping people work through acute physical/emotional imbalances as well as deep-seated, chronic ailments for many years. In addition to working in the connective tissue, joint, and muscular fields of the body to restore alignment, she also tunes into the energetic field, encouraging clients to listen to their inner state of being.She customizes each session to her client’s needs and can offer a series of specialized sessions to help restore the innate balance of the body.
I really enjoy working one-on-one with clients to help them return to their body's innate balance and ease. It's very rewarding to help folks release stress, tension, and discomfort with my treatments. My goal is that clients walk away with some self-care tools that they can take home with them. As a yoga and movement teacher, I often offer a few stretches and sadhanas that they could incorporate into their daily routine.
