Jon Kaplan is an Illinois State Licensed Clinical Massage Therapist and graduated from The Soma Institute in Chicago. He has extensive training in Traditional Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Trigger Point and Myofascial Therapy. Jon has worked with chiropractors, Physical Therapists and was a leading therapist at one of the highest-rated Boutique Hotel spas in the country. This allows him to create a combination of relaxation and targeted therapy. Jon joined Moon Rabbit as our first Massage Therapist in Fall of 2020 and has been a crucial part in growing our massage program. One of Jon’s proudest moments in his career has been his two years working as Lead Massage Therapist for The Road Home Program, an extensive rehabilitation program for veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Through this special population, he was able to see and feel how anxiety and trauma can become physical on top of emotional discomfort. Massage goes beyond the skin and muscle, relieving the mind as well as the body. Jon’s goal in his treatment practices is to integrate clinical bodywork with mindfulness, knowing the goal for homeostasis takes multiple avenues to achieve.
