Shanna Cone
Shanna is a Silver Bay, MN native with 19 years of experience in massage therapy and cosmetology along the North Shore. I graduated from CCU College in Duluth in 2006 with a degree in esthetics and later earned my cosmetology manager’s license. I continued my massage training through an apprenticeship at North Shore Health Therapies, specializing in Myofascial/Structural Integration Therapy.
Over the years, I’ve worked independently launching various startups, while partnering with many women-owned businesses along the way. My passion is massage therapy, and I blend my skills as an Esthetician, Cosmetologist, and Therapeutic Massage Therapist to create personalized, healing sessions. My approach is intuitive, intentional, and skillful, with versatile training that allows me to perform many massage modalities —all centered on each client’s unique needs.
