Eden (she/they) is an AOBTA certified clinical shiatsu therapist, licensed massage therapist, and artist based in Chicago. After witnessing loved ones struggle with their mental health - as well as many years of talk therapy herself - she developed a deep interest in psychology and spirituality. In search of a more holistic path to healing and inner peace, Eden discovered Zen Shiatsu Chicago, where she studied East Asian Medicine and Bodywork. She currently practices bodywork in the Logan Square neighborhood with Spirit and Matter.

Additionally, creating art allows Eden to feel and honor the beauty of each present moment. Through painting, drawing, and photography, they explore the connections we share with ourselves and the natural world. The trees we pass daily, the galaxies above us, and the cells in our brains are all reflections of one another. Through both bodywork and art, Eden explores themes of healing, the miracle that is being alive and in a body, and our connection to the universe.
