Zen Shiatsu Chicago Faculty: Eric Scoles

Eric says, “I’m a Senior Shiatsu Therapist specializing in helping people living with trauma, anxiety, chronic conditions, and autoimmune disorders. These aren’t just areas of professional focus; for me, these are understood from personal experience.

A life shaped by challenge and curiosity has led me to this work, giving me a deep appreciation for the body’s capacity to protect, adapt, heal, and the physical toll it takes. Before becoming a Shiatsu Therapist, I worked across a wide range of fields, including construction, aviation, finance, sales, and dog training, helping me connect with clients from all walks of life.

Sessions begin with verbal intake to understand where you are and what you need. The experience is then led in an intuitive, responsive, and collaborative flow, ensuring you get what is best for you in every session. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical symptoms, support through emotional stress, or simply an experience to help you reset, you’ll be met with genuine care and thoughtful attention.”
