Specialties
ARVAmethod is an integrative somatic and depth practice based in Chicago, offering premium clinical bodywork, twelve-month 1:1 coaching through the PATH program, the Living Archetypes framework, and the soon to be released Awakening course on embodied living. Bodywork sessions are by appointment only, and coaching requires application.
The methodology blends clinical bodywork, breathwork facilitation, Jungian-informed depth coaching, and embodied living practices into one cohesive approach to health and personal growth. It is designed for those ready to engage their wellness work with depth, intention, and care — particularly those navigating transition points of life.
History
Established in 2014.
Arrabella Schippers, creator of ARVAmethod, has been working in health and human transformation for over two decades. Her path began in medical manual therapy, pain management, and sports training in 2005, and expanded over time to include breathwork facilitation, depth coaching, and somatic practice — disciplines she eventually wove together into the integrative methodology she founded in Chicago in 2014.
ARVAmethod was built on a single guiding idea: that the body, habits, environment, and inner life all move together as one connected system, and meaningful growth happens when they are engaged that way. Arrabella holds credentials in massage therapy with the state of Illinois (NCBTMB), fitness (ACE), and the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance (GPBA), along with specialized training in Sports massage, Lymphatic therapy, and neo-shamanic breathwork.
