Lukas grew up in Jersey teaching swim lessons. During that time he fell in love with biomechanics and teaching people how to move fluidly, in fluid. When he moved to North Carolina he began teaching pool aerobics as a way to further that aim. Later on he began training Muay Thai, learning more about the connection between mind and body as a means to express himself. Eventually hard training led to back and neck injuries that were devastating. That's when a Massage Therapist changed his life. After his first session he felt completely new. The next day he decided he wanted to be a Massage Therapist to help people reclaim agency over their bodies. His goal is to provide the best treatment possible to people so they can do the things they love in life, pain free.

Benefits of LED Light Therapy during your Facial
Why LED Light Therapy?
A few of the benefits include.
-Treating acne by using Red and Blue UV Light to kill acne-causing bacteria without harming the skin.
-Regulating natural oil production.
-Stimulating collagen and elastin and minimizing redness and wrinkles.
-Certain wavelengths have even been shown to reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone.
We Are Open!
Shine On is beyond excited to announce that we are OPEN! After almost three months of being forced to shut down, we started to really miss our clients and the rewarding feeling of easing their pain. We are at half capacity so schedule space is much more limited than before.
We are continuing to spend 20 minutes sanitizing and wiping down every surface after each service. We ask anyone experiencing any flu-like symptoms to please not book at this time (Even if it is just allergies).
We are now taking credit card information upon booking. This new feature does not charge you and you will not have to pay until after your service is complete. The reason for this is to limit the spread of germs and to protect our staff if a client is to cancel outside the 24 hour window or no-call-no-show. If you decide to cancel and do not do so within 24 hours of booking your appointment, you will be charged for 50% of whichever service you chose. Wow! That sounded harsh! At Shine On, we understand that cancellation policies can sound a little harsh but we plan our day around these appointments and in these difficult times, our schedule space is extremely valuable to us.
We hope everyone is being safe and we can not wait to see all of our wonderful clients again! Shine On through this, you crazy diamonds!
Shine On Show Up!
What is a Shine On Show Up you ask?? A Shine On Show Up is where Shine On literally shows up to a school, fire station or hospital and gives complementary massages to the staff! Today was our very first Show Up and we could not be happier. Seeing the look on the teachers faces when they got off the massage chairs made it all worth it. If you know a teacher or a nurse or a fire fighter then please go give them a big hug and thank them for everything they do.
The way we see it is, these are all of the people who we count on to mold our youth and protect us and keep us alive and safe so why not help them by relieving their stress and tension?! If you fit any of our 3 categories then keep your eyes peeled because Shine On just might Show Up to your business next!

Effects of Carrying a bag on the Shoulder
Carrying a bag on the shoulder(even if its empty) requires constant isometric contraction of the elevators of the shoulder girdle, such as the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and rhomboids. Use, leading to overuse, leading to abuse... A bag carried Cross-Shoulder does not require the scapular elevators to have to overwork! For your Health!
