Awakening coherency, within and without

Sovereign Body Massage is a specialized bodywork practice where manual therapy serves as a bridge to physical freedom and personal sovereignty. As holistic problem-solvers, we blend structural expertise with a nervous-system-first approach to un-puzzle complex musculoskeletal issues and quiet the noise of pain.

Our mission is to awaken coherency—the logical, orderly union of the body’s parts—inviting your being to re-organize around the inherent principles of health and well-being. By easing the distractions of chronic tension, we provide a collaborative space for you to return to yourself, honoring the belief that any healing you do for yourself, you do for the collective. Thank you for choosing to heal.

Claire Eberhardt
Claire EberhardtOwner & LMT, CMLDT

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! 🙂
