Shana Gumbayan

Shana has been helping clients feel their best since graduating from the 2200-hour Massage Therapy program at Mount Royal University in 2022. Her journey to becoming a registered massage therapist began with a fascination for human anatomy during her early university years—a passion that eventually led her to pursue massage therapy as a career. Through her training, Shana discovered the transformative power of massage, not just for injury recovery, but also for maintaining overall wellness and balance in the body.

Shana’s approach is anything but cookie-cutter. She tailors each treatment to address her clients’ unique needs, focusing on muscle imbalances to help them move and feel better as a whole. Whether it’s pain relief, improved mobility, stress reduction, or simply relaxation, Shana brings expertise and care to every session.

Born and raised in Calgary to parents who immigrated from the Philippines, Shana proudly embraces her heritage (and her love for Filipino food—adobo and lumpia are top-tier in her books). When she’s not working her massage magic, you’ll find her lifting (light) weights at the gym, sweating it out in hot yoga or spin classes, hiking local trails, watching horror movies, or spending time with her cousins. Shana also shares her home with Charlie, her 11-year-old senior cat who doubles as her “assistant” by kneading biscuits on her neck after a long day.

Shana’s dedication to her craft and her lively personality make her a beloved part of our team—book a session with her and experience it for yourself!
