By intelligent diagnosis of the receiver’s physical and energetic state, a space is created that facilitates positive change. There are many factors that can disrupt and block the free movement of your blood, nervous and vital energy. A bodywork session will bring these elements back into relative balance, and simple selfcare will help retain that balance. I use a combination of Shiatsu, Tui Na (Chinese massage), Acupressure and Trigger point therapy in my sessions. The treatments almost always include some form of Yoga for diagnosis, treatment positions, homework and self-care. I am a believer in an individual’s capacity for self-healing, rather than relying on the notion of being “fixed” by someone else. My treatments are designed to improve and compliment the process of self- healing.

Counseling, Sheila Hanrahan, Intuitive Depth Psychotherapist Sheila Hanrahan, mSw, LcPc, Jungian analyst | 773.275.3300 Based on by 30+ years in this profession, I see our work together as work of the soul and the soul’s journey. I see myself as a guide, witness, facilitator and companion for those traveling the path toward self-realization, wholeness and self-empowerment. It is often a journey into the unconscious using the sacred language of dreams, myths, one’s creative process and of relationships. Originally coming from a background in the arts, I have an MSW and am an LCPC. I have been most influenced by Carl Jung, women’s psychology and spirituality. I bring to my work a deep commitment and dedication to my own journey. Some of the soul issues I work with include: Grief, Women’s Issues, Depression, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, Addiction, Intimacy, Abuse, Incest, and Life Transitions. I am familiar with the Twelve Steps. Most insurance accepted. I specialize in but am not limited to work with the creative person’s process, women’s issues and alternative lifestyles. Body Based Psychotherapy, Ellen Goode, C.A.D.C.
