Shaping Yin is a licensed massage therapist(LMT) and owner of Shaping Ballard Massage

Shaping believes massage therapy can change people's lives and provide healing. That's why she made the decision ten years ago to become a licensed massage practitioner. Shaping wanted to make a difference in people's lives. Nothing pleases her more than hearing from her satisfied clients who express their gratitude for the work she does. The truth is Shaping Yin doesn't consider massage therapy "work". For her, it's a calling. She cares deeply about her clients, and wants to make sure they get better as a result of the massage therapy she provides. Shaping studied massage therapy at Ashmead College in 2005, and graduated from the program in early 2006. She has provided massage therapy since then. She has experitise in Injury Treatment Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish and Relaxation Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Sports Massage, and Cupping.

When she's not working, she devotes her free time to enjoying the beauty of the Northwest. Shaping is an avid hiker and amateur nature photographer. The wonders of nature give her joy, as well as the ability to bring the energy she receives from nature into her massage practice.
