JONATHAN MURPHY

​

Trained at Zen Shiatsu Chicago Massage Therapy School, I am also a Certified Practitioner with the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA) and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).

​

I chose to study Shiatsu because I deeply believe in its holistic approach to self-healing. My philosophy leans towards the Eastern teachings of harmony within oneself and the world around us. I see myself as a facilitator, helping the body and spirit heal themselves by re-acquiring and maintaining the balance that is their natural state.

​

I love the peace that can be found in the practice of Shiatsu and enjoy sharing its benefits with others. I believe in the body's ability to self-regulate, and as a therapist, I strive to be present and create a space for the intrinsic healing potential of my client to manifest. 

​

In addition to Shiatsu massage, I also offer Cupping, Moxibustion, Gua Sha, and am a certified Reiki practitioner, in addition to providing more traditional Western massage/therapeutic massage.
