First Time Clients -
Welcome! Please book a new client bodywork session to ensure we have enough time for verbal intake, and read the pricing policy for payment information. Appointments are in person at the Chicago Healing Collective in Lakeview/Graceland West. Bodywork sessions are typically done on a futon mat on the floor (cupping is done on a massage table). If the floor is not accessible to you, please include that in your intake form, and we will use a massage table.
Pricing Policy - Clients are required to pre-pay in full - either through this website, Venmo, or Zelle - before their appointment. I utilize a sliding scale pricing model. The price listed with the service is the standard rate, which you can pay through this website. However, you may instead choose to pay the rate that is most accessible to you within the scale listed in each treatment's description. If you'd like to utilize the sliding scale option, indicate how much you would like to pay, and fill out your Venmo or Zelle information. You will receive a payment request from me, and payment must be sent at least 48 hours before the session. Tips are never expected, but welcome.
Cancellation Policy ~ Any changes or cancellations must be made 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. Clients are responsible to pay the full session amount if they cancel their appointment within 24 hours unless there is an emergency.
The Journey - My Healing Philosophy
My healing philosophy is rooted in the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. My bodywork sessions focus on practicing embodied presence and cultivating deep rest, in order to support your body and spirit’s innate healing processes. My specialized training is in trauma healing - many of my clients have been folks who deal with physical and emotional effects of trauma in day-to-day life.
Each session begins with getting to know your unique story, with treatment guided by goals set together. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic discomfort, improved internal organ function, or deeper emotional balance, this work profoundly invites a state of deep relaxation and release.
Offering a welcoming space for all identities, I view my work in the healing arts as a form of resistance. It is a privilege to practice a lineage that - in a society built on stress and dis-ease - has the ability to reconnect people to the present moment, and the most divine, creative expression of themselves.
The Modality - What is Shiatsu?
Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese style of bodywork based in Chinese Medicine - much like acupuncture, but without needles. It is a holistic approach to touch therapy that is beneficial in balancing a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to…
acute & chronic pain sleep issues and fatigue
digestive disharmony reconnection with self
trauma healing anxiety, phobias
cultivating overall balance and well-being
Anyone can benefit, whether you’re navigating challenges, looking to feel more balanced day-to-day, or struggling to alleviate stuckness and find alignment on your life path. Shiatsu is a portal to our highest selves - awakening our natural healing power and strengthening the connection to our intuitive wisdom.
<3 Testimonials <3
“I am always thankful when I receive shiatsu from Eden. They have a foundationally gentle way of interacting with people which they bring to their shiatsu. They listen well, both to what I say verbally and to what my body says that it needs. My whole being can relax during a shiatsu session with Eden, knowing that I can trust them and that I will feel so much better, both during and after the session.” -Ruth J
“Working with Eden was an absolute gift and a total surprise for my nervous system. I can’t get over how intuitive, intentional and strong they are. They were so generous with their time and their ability to walk me through a care plan with gentleness and clarity was masterful. I went to Eden struggling with chronic physical pain, issues with digestion, trouble with sleep and difficulty with jaw pain and tension. After just one session I started feeling relief and after a few months of treatment every one of the issues I came to Eden with had improved: I was sleeping better, digestion issues and jaw tension had stopped and my physical pain throughout my body had nearly vanished. I can’t recommend Eden enough. Do yourself a favor and invest in caring for your body. Eden will put you on the path to recovery and equip you with a variety of tools to care for yourself long-term.” -Gabriel C-P-G
“Eden made me feel super comfortable and looked after. I felt an immediate improvement in my mood, energy levels, and chronic digestive issues after receiving just my first shiatsu treatment. In our other sessions she continually demonstrated not only her knowledge, but deep care for the body and clients. Highly recommended and will continue to seek treatment from her.” -J.R.
“A few months ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which has caused me immense pain, fatigue, and overall lower quality of life. Shiatsu massage with Eden has been one of the greatest supports on my healing journey alongside my medications and lifestyle changes. Shiatsu has helped me deeply relax, regain my energy, and cultivate compassion towards my body. During several weeks of treatment my chronic pain and other symptoms have dramatically improved and I’ve felt my nervous system begin to calm. I cannot thank Eden enough for their care. Her approach is holistic, supportive, and gentle. I feel completely held by her during our sessions; the deep trust I feel with her makes each treatment a true delight. I highly recommend a massage with Eden to anyone in need of restoration.” -Sarah P
