Shannon McDonald
Owner, Elite Massage Therapist
I am passionate about helping others heal and grow through Massage Therapy and Mind Body Eating Coaching! The more and more I learn the more I realize how connected our bodies are mentally, physically, and spiritually. It’s amazing how connected the body is through all of it’s complexity. That is why my approach to helping clients includes all three.
Why I’m a Massage Therapist:
I originally became interested in massage because it offered flexible hours, which is something I knew would in the future allow me to balance work and having a family. However, I literally have fallen in love with massage and the therapeutic professional touch it provides in helping my clients with fitness, stress management, pain relief from injury, and maintaining general well-being.
I believe in customizing my massages to each individual and thus personalize each session according to his or her preferences. For example, some clients do not like having a face massage or scalp massage, etc. Some like a certain type of essential oil in their cream, so I use that. And, some request focused time spent on just their problem areas rather than having a full-body massage. Your massage should be customized just for you because there is no one like you!
Why I’m an Mind Body Eating Coach:
I was professionally trained and certified by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating in May 2015. Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition has truly opened my eyes to a lot of things that I was dealing with personally. It’s changed my life in many ways and I know the work on myself is still not done! (And most likely never will be done! I believe we are always working on bettering ourselves.) I believe that these cutting edge techniques are what we have been missing in the conversation around food, eating, and weight. I’m hoping to use my skills to help people better understand their bodies, their relationship with food, and their physical ailments to better their lives.
I work with clients who have challenges around weight, overeating, binge eating, body image, and a number of health concerns such as digestion, fatigue, mood issues, and more. I am trained in a highly unique and results oriented approach to eating issues. It’s a holistic and empowering approach that integrates nutrition and psychology.

I have been blessed to have so many amazing clients, and I strive to be a blessing to them. That is why I named my business “Béni Massage & Wellness.” Béni means blessed in French. Come in to see me for your personalized session today! You can contact me at 281-858-3893 to schedule an appointment or book online on my website.
Have a blessed day!

Robin D
Premium Massage Therapist
I graduated from The Relax Station, School of Massage in 2006 and became a Massage Instructor in 2018.
As a Mother of 3 and a Grandmother of 1, I love that massage has given me the flexibility to be with my family, that most other jobs would not.
Specializing in Swedish, Hot Stone, and Prenatal Massage, I enjoy being able to help my clients that have every day pains (usually from working on computers) or being able to help an expectant mom relax and feel better during the difficult time her body is going through.
I look forward to working with you and customizing your massage to what your needs are.

About your Esthetician
Nicole D.
I am Nicole. I moved to Texas with my husband and 2 of my 4 children mid 2023. We are originally from Utah and wanted a change of pace. We love the area and the new scenery and people. I have been a licensed medical Esthetician since 2014. I have worked in salons and medical spas and performed numerous treatments, including laser, microneedling, body sculpting, skin tightening, and all other procedures dealing with the skin. I have always had an interest in skincare, and I have a deep love for being able to help people look and feel their best.
