About

I’m Claire Eberhardt, a graduate of Chicago’s Cortiva Massage School and a Licensed Massage Therapist in practice since 2010. Furthering my education in 2012, I went on to acquire a diploma in Structural Integration (Dr. Ida Rolf technique) from the Chicago College of Healing Arts. Structural Integration techniques and its unique “lensing” are the foundation of all my work; I continue to provide the original 10-Session Series for those seeking deep, systemic structural change.

Additional Education & Specialties:

• Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist: With a particular interest in supporting post-surgical recovery and managing acute or chronic swelling conditions.

• Myofascial Release: Focused on the profound interconnectedness between fascia and posture.

• TMJD Internal & External Jaw Massage: Informed by Structural Integration and Neuromuscular approaches. This focused jaw work also addresses how chronic tension in these muscles affects the alignment of the neck and head.

• Neuromuscular Pain-Reduction: Utilizing muscle manipulation informed by the client’s presenting nervous system and educating clients on the interface between the nervous and muscular systems.

• Trauma-Informed Care: Ongoing continuing education to ensure a safe, supportive environment for all clients.

A holistic thinker and dedicated problem-solver, I invest deeply in getting to the “heart” of an issue and work co-creatively with my clients throughout the healing process. I believe in educating my clients so they have the tools for self-care and true ownership of their physical well-being.

Lastly, I regard bodywork as the privilege to help awaken the innate sense of self-healing within each client. Bring me all your complicated musculoskeletal issues! 🙂

I’m Jasmin Defensor, a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2012. I specialize in clinical, corrective bodywork for athletes, high-stress professionals, parents, and anyone ready to move from symptom management to real, lasting results.

Before I discovered HIIT-style training and corrective movement, I lived with chronic neck and back pain, weighed over 220 pounds, and struggled with inflammation and recovery. Even as a massage therapist, my fueling and habits made relief temporary and recovery inconsistent. Over the years, I rebuilt my body—losing over 70 pounds, keeping it off since 2013, and recovering fully from three abdominal surgeries, each requiring six weeks of bed rest. Those experiences shaped the depth and effectiveness of my practice today.

How I Work

Massage therapy is the foundation of everything I do. Every session is assessment-driven and tailored to your body, your goals, and your stress load. Techniques may include:

Clinical & Corrective Massage: Deep tissue, therapeutic, sports recovery, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, postural and movement-pattern correction

Applied Kinesiology: Muscle testing, rebalancing, and neuromuscular activations to identify compensation patterns affecting pain, performance, and metabolism

Microcurrent Therapy & Energy Support: Low-level stimulation for tissue recovery, reflexology, and meridian-based balancing to calm the nervous system

Supportive Adjuncts: Assisted stretching, mobility work, aromatherapy, and nervous-system regulation for stress and burnout

Modalities are selected based on your needs, integrated to support correction, recovery, and long-term balance. All techniques are scope-safe and complement medical care when needed.

Weight Loss & Body Recomposition

I don’t see weight loss as a willpower issue. Sustainable results come from structure, nutrient-dense fuel, hydration, and consistent movement. Muscle density, recovery, and metabolic health matter more than the scale.

For clients seeking deeper support, I offer an integrated program combining massage therapy, corrective training, nutrition calculations, supplementation guidance, and Zoom coaching—all anchored in realistic schedules and nervous-system safety. There is a monthly monetary investment, often replacing multiple disconnected services for better results.

Systems, Not Motivation

Every client plan follows my “Six Matters of Thriving” framework: Physical, Cognitive, Environmental, Financial, Social, Spiritual
