The Owner
Shonna Berk - Lake County
In the Summer of 2019, Shonna Berk had the opportunity to work on a commercial at the headquarters of MagnaWave – a producer of PEMF equipment. During the shoot she got to meet the staff and owners, learn about PEMF technology, and feel the “pulse” for herself. Shonna quickly realized she could bring this beneficial modality to her home in northern California and combine it with her work in the equine community. After becoming a certified MagnaWave practitioner, Shonna established West Coast MagnaWave, LLC.
West Coast MagnaWave was started in Sonoma County but when Shonna relocated to Lake County in 2023, she is not only expanding the business to surrounding areas but brought on TEAMMATES to help bring PEMF to more communities in Northern California.
Teammate
Shannon Ray Riley - Sonoma County
Shannon is a horse trainer, bodyworker, and herbalist with an MA in Anthrozoology and a clinical background in Ayurveda. She unites the many modalities she offers to horses and humans through her business Wild Willing Therapeutics & Training. As a Bodyworker and herbalist with nearly a decade in the field, Shannon applies her practice to horses and humans equally. As a lifelong horsewoman, her roots are in natural horsemanship and she specializes in working with untamed mustangs or wild horses. She is passionate about weaving healing work into her training, as she feels strongly that the mind and body are one, and a healthy body supports a balanced mind.
Shannon is grateful to be part of the West Coast MagnaWave team offering PEMF to humans, horses, and other animals in her local region of Sebastopol, CA.

Teammate
Marisha Moon - Sacramento County
Marisha joined our team in 2023 and provides PEMF and bodywork in Rancho Murieta and surrounding areas. Aside from being MagnaWave certified, she offers Equine Sports Massage, Kinesiology taping, IASTM and more!
Marisha is a lifelong equestrian who still enjoys riding and showing in the Western disciplines. Her introduction to PEMF came while searching for ways to help her son recover from a major surgery back in 2021. After seeing her son’s results, she decided to try it on her equine partner and the improvements were enough to convince her to buy her own machine.
Marisha's other Offerings:
- Equine Sports Massage
- Kinesiology Taping
- IASTM / Fascial work
- Red Light Therapy
The Process
West Coast MagnaWave travels to you, providing personalized PEMF sessions at the site of your choice. The first session may be longer than planned to ensure the client can adjust and accept PEMF. West Coast MagnaWave is committed to taking that extra time to help their clients into a state of comfort.
For equine PEMF: Owners and trainers know their partners best. With that being said, West Coast MagnaWave prefers them to choose whether or not to work their horse before and/or after the PEMF session. Some may find it easier for their equine partner to reach a state of calm if worked prior to the session.
West Coast MagnaWave prefers equine owners or trainers to be present at the first session but after introduction, with owner’s permission, is confident and communicative if sessions are done solo. Often times, this process allows for a deeper connection.
Because it can take several sessions to reach a state of true relaxation, West Coast MagnaWave offers package discounts for weekly sessions.*
*Pricing can be found HERE. Discounts discussed at booking.
