OUR PHILOSOPHY

​

Touch Institute Los Angeles (TILA) is committed to providing the very best in evidence-based pediatric, teen and adult touch therapy, massage therapy, sports therapy, organic skin therapy and complimentary health and skincare services in a family-friendly beach clinic where everyone is welcome!  

​

Originally established in El Segundo on Main Street in 2011 as one of the first spa/clinics offering pediatric massage therapy in Los Angeles, TILA moved to the current Richmond Street location in 2015. Covid-19 hit Touch Institute hard in 2020 & 2021, as it did many small businesses, but we are thankful for the community support that allows us to provide our unique services to families throughout LA County.

The heart of TILA is the Center for Pediatric Touch Therapy. A Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist (CPMT) is specially trained and certified to meet the therapeutic needs of children and teens including developing athletes, well kids, and kids with pre-diagnosed physical or psychological conditions. Other services include infant massage education for parents and caregivers and sports therapy for kids & teens. Having been introduced to touch therapy for children when her own child was battling for his life in the NICU, it was Shannon's ambition to bring compassionate touch to children outside of the hospital setting. Shannon is a Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist with a specialty in treating children with autism and an instructor for infant massage. In addition, Shannon is a Certified Sports Therapist, and certified in women's health, including pre & post natal massage, reflexology and lymphatic massage. Shannon has been licensed with the CAMTC since 2010 and established with the Board of Cosmetology since 2011.
