ABOUT ROBERT
A Shamanic practitioner*, adjunct faculty member in the Massage Therapy department of the College of Lake County, and licensed massage therapist, Robert is the founder of Giving Back Massage™.
Robert made his commitment to a shamanic path when the changing landscape of his own life required him to look within to discover and access his own healing beliefs. That initiation opened Robert to a deeper level of personal wellness. Today, Robert lives in a suburb of Chicago where he guides his clients. through their journeys to optimal health and well-being utilizing ancient shamanic principles, mindfulness, and natural healing techniques.
​
By combining his spiritual wisdom as a Shaman with his physical skills as a massage therapist, Robert provides a
powerful level of personal empowerment and healing for his clients that addresses the needs of the entire person; Body, Mind, and Spirit.
