Shalina Amani has pursued an interdisciplinary path spanning business, health sciences, manual therapy, and the study of the mind-body connection. A Texas native, she earned an MBA in Strategy & Entrepreneurship from Rice University and a BBA in Finance from The University of Texas at Austin, followed by doctoral-level studies in chiropractic and extensive postgraduate training in Fascial Counterstrain.
Her path into health and healing began through personal experience. After living with widespread chronic pain and fibromyalgia-like symptoms for nearly eight years, Shalina sought care from physicians and therapists around the world. She discovered Counterstrain in 2018, and her experience with the technique profoundly changed the direction of her life, ultimately inspiring her transition from business and finance into the study and clinical application of manual therapy.<br>
<br>
Since 2021, Shalina has pursued extensive Fascial Counterstrain training through The Jones Institute and advanced study through the Counterstrain Academy Mastery Program. Her coursework spans multiple anatomical and physiological systems, including the nervous and central nervous systems, autonomics and cranial nerves, dura and somatics, arterial, lymphatic-venous, visceral and musculoskeletal systems, central sensitization, diagnostics, and multi-system anatomy dissection.<br>
<br>
Her perspective has also been shaped by more than six years living and traveling throughout Bali and Asia, where she explored meditation, Ayurveda, traditional healing practices, and Eastern perspectives on the relationship between mind, body, and health. These experiences developed into a broader interest in where traditional and contemplative approaches may intersect with modern science.<br>
<br>
Today, her continuing interests include neuroscience, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neuroplasticity, longevity, meditation, consciousness, and mind-body health. She is particularly interested in Dr. Joe Dispenza's work exploring neuroscience, meditation, mind-body change, and concepts drawn from quantum physics as they relate to the body's capacity for healing and transformation.<br>
<br>
Her experiences with chronic pain and family caregiving continue to shape both her work and her long-term interests. She hopes to pursue further study and research into the relationships among the nervous system, fascia, chronic pain, meditation, consciousness, and human health, while helping clients improve function, mobility, and quality of life.<br>
<br>
Outside of her work and studies, Shalina enjoys meditation, yoga, time outdoors, and continued exploration of health, science, spirituality, human potential, and the body's innate capacity for healing.<br>
