SHIATSU PRACTITIONER
Erin Shea Martin (she/her) is a shiatsu practitioner with Alchemy Acupuncture & Herbs and a graduate of Zen Shiatsu Chicago. After working for more than a decade in refugee and immigrant services, she pursued a career in shiatsu because of its profound ability to support the healing of trauma and to mitigate the effects of burnout for people in caring professions. She hopes to support clients through whatever suffering or discomfort brings them to the clinic and use the tools she has learned to help clients return to a state of balance and vitality in their bodies.
She holds an Masters of Philosophy in Intercultural Theology from the Irish School of Ecumenics and in her free time enjoys reading LGBTQ YA and fantasy novels, cuddling with her elder cats, dancing, and cooking for her loved ones. She speaks French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish and is happy to see monolingual speakers of these languages as clients.
