Silvana Pettit · Founder
The founder, the vision & the standard of care
Licensed Massage Therapist, Energy & Sound Healing Practitioner
Originally from Brazil, Silvana Pettit brings more than two decades of practice and a lifelong devotion to learning to Shakti Holistic Wellness. Her studies have taken her to Thailand and Hawaii, deepening an approach that brings therapeutic skill, intuitive presence, and respect for the individual into every session.
Her work draws on massage traditions including Thai massage, Swedish massage, and Lomi Lomi, alongside her practice in energy and sound healing. Each session begins with listening—to your needs, your comfort, and what you hope to receive from your time at Shakti.
She created Shakti as a place where her love of this work could take root in Frankenmuth: a welcoming sanctuary where exceptional care feels personal, and where a growing community of practitioners can share their gifts with intention.
Experience is a beginning, not an endpoint
For Silvana, learning is an expression of devotion to the people she serves. Her education includes Thai massage studies in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the Sacred Path Healing School in Hawaii—experiences that continue to inform the depth and presence of her work.
Recognition at the Michigan Massage Championship is another meaningful part of that journey. At Shakti, experience is carried into practice through careful listening, thoughtful technique, and an enduring commitment to refining the quality of care.
The philosophy
Your body carries the rhythms of your life—the demands, the movement, the moments of stillness, and the times you have given more than you have received. At Shakti, we make room to listen.
We begin with your goals and preferences, then shape your session with attention to comfort, pressure, pace, and the kind of experience you seek. Whether you come for focused bodywork, deep relaxation, or the quiet immersion of energy and sound, your care is approached with skill and respect.
Our intention is simple: for you to feel heard, cared for, and more connected to yourself.
