Illuminate Bodywork

Lighting the Path to Wellness

Bio

Eryn's journey to bodywork began at the young age of 14 when she was diagnosed with severe depression. Wanting to take a holistic approach to healing, her parents found a talented massage therapist and Reiki master along with an incredible Psychotherapist who worked together to treat the depression without the use of pharmaceuticals. Inspired by how she was doing, Eryn began learning Reiki at age 15 and completed her master level at 18. Knowing personally the healing power of touch and massage, Eryn chose to study Massage Therapy herself to give back and share her experience with others.

She trained at the Cayce/Reilly School of Massotherapy in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  Completing a 600 hour program and graduating in 1998.

She continued her education by enrolling in Charlotte Irwin's Reflexology Course 2, an in-depth 146-hour course covering all aspects of reflexology as well as the anatomy and physiology of the foot. She recently added cupping therapy to her repertoire and is thrilled to see how it benefits clients. 
In June 20024, Eryn graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, she graduated Summa Cum Laude and is a member of Psi Chi, the honor society of Psychology. 
 
Eryn has had the pleasure of working at different spas and health clinics, having her own studio in Ann Arbor for 8 years and, most recently, the last 12 years in San Francisco. While living in LA, she worked at Burke Williams Spa as a therapist trainer, and educator. 

     Besides her passion for bodywork, Eryn is also very interested in movement, leading her to learn and certify as a teacher of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. She finds that combining bodywork with exercise is a very effective way to manipulate and mold the body to what one desires.
