✨ Swedish Massage ✨
Our healers use gentle massage techniques and therapeutic oils to guide your body into deep relaxation and stress relief. This treatment is designed to calm both the mind and body — helping you feel balanced, restored, and at ease.
Swedish Massage increases circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, lowers cortisol (the stress hormone), and strengthens the immune system. It’s a beautiful reset when you’re feeling mentally or physically overwhelmed. ✨
Let your nervous system soften, your muscles unwind, and your mind find stillness. This treatment is an invitation to return to a complete state of relaxation. 🌹

✨ Meet Marianna ✨
A graduate of The Soma Institute, Marianna blends clinical knowledge with intuitive healing. Her own journey through scoliosis, hip misalignment, and chronic pain led her to discover that true wellness comes from treating the root cause—not just the symptoms. 🌿
Today, her practice focuses on creating space in the body and honoring the mind–body connection. With a grounded, spiritual presence, she weaves together bodywork, energy medicine, and her natural psychic gifts to offer sessions that are both restorative and deeply transformative.
As a licensed massage therapist and master Reiki practitioner, Marianna channels light and vision to help you reconnect with your inner self and return to wholeness. ✨

Reiki is a Japanese energetic healing practice that works with life force energy to restore balance in body, mind, and spirit. Using gentle hands-on (or hands-off) touch, the practitioner becomes a channel, allowing energy to flow where it’s needed most, activating the body’s natural ability to heal.
Reiki can ease stress, calm the nervous system, release stagnant energy, and create more flow in your physical and emotional body. Many describe the experience as deeply peaceful, grounding, and nourishing. Like being bathed in light. 🕊️
Reiki assists in guiding you back to your own inner alignment. It helps peel back the layers of stress, imbalance, and disconnection so you can remember the wholeness of who you are.
💫 At Spirit & Matter, Reiki is offered as a stand-alone session or woven into massage therapy and bodywork. Each session is an invitation to soften, receive, and return to your natural state of harmony.

Eden 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.
Eden’s healing philosophy is rooted in the belief that the mind, body, and spirit are inseparable. Her bodywork focuses on somatic education and nervous system regulation, in order to support the body’s innate healing processes. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic or acute discomfort, improved internal organ function, or deeper emotional balance, Eden’s work gently invites a state of deep relaxation and helps release both physical and emotional held patterns. Each session begins with getting to know your unique story, with treatment guided by goals set together.
Offering a welcoming space for all identities, Eden views her 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 connect people to the present moment and closer to their true selves.

My journey to the healing arts began from self healing. For the majority of my childhood and adolescence I had experienced chronic wide spread musculoskeletal pain, severe migraines, anxiety and depression. I began my education into holistic healing which was the start to my own transformation. I graduated with a degree in Massage Therapy and Asian Bodywork from Pacific College of Health and Science in Chicago where I studied Chinese Medicine, psychology, kinesiology, meditation, both Eastern and Western forms of massage therapy, bodywork, and energetic movement practices. I continued my education at the Thai Massage School in Chiang Mai Thailand and became a Reiki Practitioner through my studies at Zen Shiatsu Chicago. Once discovering the incredible power of the mind/body/spirit connection which allowed me to heal from my own emotional and physical pain, I created Spirit and Matter which encompasses this holistic approach to healing.
Spirit and Matter is an inclusive and intentional practice which centers womxn. A haven to individuals seeking to deepen their self-awareness, self-care practice and their understanding of the mind/body/spirit connection. I am passionate about reintroducing healing touch to survivors of s*xual, physical and emotional trauma and abuse. I wish to help my clients find incredible self love and self acceptance through self care. I am a well-informed, intuitive and compassionate practitioner. I help others discover their healer within through body and energy work and my mission is to create space where my clients may feel the connected embodiment of their spirit and their matter.
Is my practice right for you?
Spirit and Matter centers and celebrate womxn and helps to heal the patriarchal impact on the divine feminine in the physical energy body. In my coaching and hands on healing work, I am q***r inclusive, gender fluid inclusive, non-binary inclusive and trans inclusive.
I work with cis-men only at my own discretion. My safety and security is of the utmost importance. Thank you for understanding. The sacred masculine is always welcome.
I am a body positive, s*x positive, q***r affirming massage therapist, bodyworker, energy worker and self healing coach. I believe in undoing the sensual repression of womxn. I believe in holistic healing. I acknowledge the impact of systemic oppression, I believe black lives matter. I believe in intersectional feminism. I honor and respect the history and origins of all of the tools, practices, and methods I offer.
