In addition to a master's and doctoral degree in psychology, I hold a master's degree in violin performance from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. A hand injury ended my career as a violinist. That event and the adjustments after it sparked my immense passion for guiding musicians, athletes, and business executives through transitions and helping them find balance.
Musicians, athletes, and executives devote an enormous amount of time and energy to their sport, instrument, or career. It's a tremendous investment that often involves long-term planning and sacrifice. Sometimes, unanticipated events, like an injury or illness, come along. Other times, an ordinary or expected part of life, such as aging out of a sport or retirement, happens.

Musicians
Report
As a former professional violinist, I desire to help musicians who have suffered injuries and consider looking for development within themselves. Johanna Marie McShane, Ph. D., offers guidance in physical therapy for musicians in Lafayette, CA. Balance is a practice to be cultivated and nurtured throughout our lifetimes.
Athletes and Coaches
Report
As a physical therapy for athletes in Lafayette, CA, I have worked with lots of athletes and dancers, and many of them had eating disorders that stemmed from anxiety. The reason why they were getting these disorders is because of the stress of losing their careers. Eating disorders were developing from stress, and this is where is realized that I wanted to focus on the underlying issues when it comes to identity.

Report
Based in Lafayette, California, I provide support to executives and their families looking for more balance in their lives, and guidance before, during, and after transitions. Executives have often devoted immense amounts of time and energy developing their careers. They've made tremendous investments that might have involved long-term planning and sacrifice.
