Earon's education and professional experience, along with the experience of raising children, helped him gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and subtle nature of all healing process (personal, community, regional, national and global) and the important role of alternative therapies, mindfulness, systems thinking, lovingkindness, laughter and ancient wisdom in wellness, healing, disease prevention and sustainability.

Earon's Massage News

To help describe my healing work, I developed the concept of "Wellness Fusion Massage."   This concept creates a focus on wellness rather than disease; using a fusion of many techniques and modalities - rather than one modality; and infusing the massage with energies and images that facilitate connection and healing.

In addition to my home-based practice, I do "house calls" and  I work part time at the Professional Clinic of the Chicago School of Massage Therapy.  I am currently also practicing part time at ENH Integrative Medicine Department at the Park Center in Glenview at the Glen, North Shore Wellness Services in Northbrook, and at the Mystical Sciences Institute in Evanston.

I have co-taught the new "Meditation and Massage" classes I helped Marla Goldberg develop at "Yoga Here and Now" in Deerfield.  Marla and I have also created individual "Mindful Massage" sessions using the powerful synergy between intuition, massage and energy work with two practitioners.  These sessions are held in Northbrook, at North Shore Wellness Services, Ltd.  Please contact me if you are interested in arranging one of our one-hour private sessions or in attending the classes, which provide particpants with guided meditation and imagery and a 10-15 minute fully clothed healing massage.  For more information, please refer to the navigation bar below:
