Overview

Connection is what drives my work.
I have formal training in Thai massage and extensive training in Shiatsu. I also have practiced many movement modalities such as yoga, martial arts, and dance. I received my yoga teaching certificate in 2013.
We will begin with a conversation to establish a goal or intention for the session. This will inform my quality of touch, along with your feedback, to give you exactly what you need.
Shiatsu comes from Japan and is traditionally... practiced clothed on the floor. This gives us more space to move around for deep stretching. Shiatsu uses channels similar to acupuncture, and offers similar benefits, without all the needles. Combining the stretching with deep breathing helps to calm the mind and get you more connected with your body. Shiatsu helps you relax into your innate healing potential; pain and discomfort are harmonized during the session.
I'm located far north of Chicago, in Rogers Park, a block south of the Morse red line. My studio is equipped with soft, warm lighting, nature sounds, and tranquil aroma. There is a private bathroom and shower available for your use.
As a member of the LGBT+ community, I am acutely aware of the needs of gay men. All gender expressions welcome!
