Our HistoryIt began in 2008 when a group of four independent practitioners founded Shala in the Glass Building - just off the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, VA.
Drawn by the clear and powerful energy in a suite which formerly housed a Bön Buddhist meditation space, the group grew in depth and experience, expanding in 2012 to the Carter-Gilmer House at 800 East Jefferson Street. Now, our thoughtfully curated group of experienced practitioners has moved to our newest location at 800 East High Street. We invite you to browse through our site to learn more about what we offer and how you can connect with us. |
Who We Are NowOur current group of thirteen experienced practitioners offers an exceptional range of alternative and traditional therapies designed to address your needs on the levels of body, mind and spirit.
Available modalities range from Thai, Swedish, therapeutic and pre-natal massage, Hypnotherapy, Hakomi, Brennan Healing Science, and Process Work (Process Oriented Psychology), to Reiki, Akashic Record Reading, MARI Mandala Psychological Assessments, and nutritional therapies. We also offer classes, workshops and group-focused activities. |
