Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

Best massage I’ve ever had, hands down.

I come in with neck and back pain and leave feeling myself again. Thank you William!
William is amazing, intuitive and really fun to spend time on a table with.....I always leave wanting MORE!!

William Laurence is the best massage therapist that I've had. Been going to him for about 2 years now. I felt so noticeably less tight the first time he worked on me that I almost felt like I was going to fall over when I stood up. I also had badly injured my calf about 1 year ago, and he was able to fit me in right away and got rid of my hobbling.
William is very effective at finding areas of the body that are in need of attention.

William is so kind and so skillful! I always feel amazing after my massage!
William is knowledgeable, professional, warm and inviting. It was a perfect combination of dealing with my arm and shoulder issues and an enjoyable massage. He's a rare find. I recommend.

Liked everything! William is brilliant, sensitive, knowledgeable and talented! Referred by my daughter and he is everything she said he would be and then some!
William is the most fabulous massage therapist I have ever met. I have 3 herniated disks that really make my upper body lock up. He has an incredible understanding of human anatomy and basically will dissect and rebuild you on his table. He is a joy to know and will relax you while he improves your circulation and untangles all of your knots.

William does a great job - he knows the body and gives an excellent massage, focusing on any problem areas. Could not recommend more highly.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — LIFE takes me & has taken me around the globe. I returned to Chicago in 2001 to settle and make my home here.

My training began with two years of formal study at the Body Therapy Institute, in Santa Barbara, California. Along with various trainings and seminars throughout my 17+ years of professional experience.

My work focuses on assisting clients to move thru life in less discomfort - with a greater range of motion. Combining different styles, modalities and pressures to bring about these changes.

As an avid swimmer, yogi, cyclist and all-around outdoors sports enthusiast, I ask a lot of my body. I know first hand the therapeutic benefits and pleasure of regular therapeutic bodywork. I confidently assert, without ego, that I am a very gifted massage therapist, and perceive myself to be a down to earth, affable gentleman, who maintains the humility that I am only a facilitator in YOUR pursuit of health and wellness.

It is my sincere pleasure to assist you with a deeper sense and knowledge of your own body through a healing touch.

Satya,
