Isabel Matthes - Holistic Therapist
From the beginning of my career, I felt a deep curiosity to understand not just the what of an ailment, but the why. This quest has taken me on a wonderful journey of learning from Chile to the United States, transforming the way I view and practice healing.
With a solid background in alternative therapies, I began my path specializing in therapeutic massage at EMBA School (Santiago, Chile), where I became certified as an Integral Massage Therapist. Throughout my practice, I observed how physical challenges are intimately connected to each person’s spirituality and levels of consciousness.
This revelation inspired me to develop a more holistic approach. I incorporated sound therapy and chakra harmonization as key tools to restore energetic balance between body, mind, and spirit.
In 2014, I deepened my knowledge in Thai Massage at DHARA School, and in 2016, I opened my own healing center, Alnilam, a space dedicated to the integration of the self.
My desire to continue growing led me to train in the “Columna Vitae Method” and later travel to Chicago, where I completed over 700 hours of training in Zen Shiatsu and Chinese Medicine at the prestigious Zen Shiatsu Chicago School, earning COMTA certification.
Today, I offer a personalized approach in every session, combining all these therapies. I also teach trainings, organize workshops, and lead retreats to share the power of self-healing that we all possess.
Currently residing in Chicago, Illinois, I invite you to my space so that together we can find the path back to your well-being.
