ince 2017, Balanced Spirit Wellness Center has been offering rejuvenating massages, transformative Reiki sessions and deeply relaxing Himalayan salt cave experiences to visitors
and locals alike in Starved Rock Country. Nestled in historic downtown Streator and less than a half-hour southeast of Starved Rock State Park, Balanced Spirit Wellness Center is an all-in-one relaxing retreat that aims to align your physical, emotional and mental well-being. Join us as we take a tour of this cozy wellness center and learn about the many exciting services it has to offer. Owned and operated by Streator native Shawn Cates and her husband, Mike, Balanced Spirit Wellness Center is a passion project that stemmed from Cates’ love of Reiki. As a certified Reiki master and reflexologist, Cates was encouraged by her former instructor to set up a center of her own, bringing Reiki and a whole suite of other wellness services to Streator’s beautiful downtown.
