I said to my body softly, "I want to be your friend." It took a long breath and replied, "I have been waiting my whole life for this"

I remember when I was in college, that my body was always in pain. It was a deep aching pain, that I thought I would never be able to fix. After I quit school, and was deciding what career I should pursue, I decided to google massage schools, because I was told that I gave good massages. The first school that popped up was the Some Institute for Clinical Massage Therapy. When I was walking around the school for my tour I immediately felt comfortable. The classes were small...

I remember when I was in college, that my body was always in pain. It was a deep aching pain, that I thought I would never be able to fix. After I quit school, and was deciding what career I should pursue, I decided to google massage schools, because I was told that I gave good massages. The first school that popped up was the Some Institute for Clinical Massage Therapy. When I was walking around the school for my tour I immediately felt comfortable. The classes were small and intimate and the teachers were friendly while I sat in on their classes. I knew that I was going to learn massage, but I wasn't sure what exactly I signed up for. During the course of that year I learned a lot about myself, how to use my body in order to help heal others, and the pain that I had been dealing with in my life was beginning to release.

For me, massage therapy isn't only about relaxation, it is about healing. After all the word therapy is put right after the word massage. With massage therapy my clients will be able to sleep better, bring down anxiety and depression, and bring up their happiness, and help get rid of general aches and pains. My goal as a massage therapist is to help heal the mind as well as the body. If you need someone to talk to, I will talk; but if you need peace and quiet I will be silent.

I specialize in Deep Tissue massage with Trigger Point, it helps brings the most relaxation to the muscles by working deep and getting rid of knots. Even though I like to work deep, I can also give a lighter relaxation massage (Swedish Massage). Two of my favorite modalities that I have learned is Aromatherapy and Prenatal. I love aromatherapy because it brings out my artistic side by mix and matching different oils to get the desired effect. It also just smells beautiful and is over all relaxing. Prenatal Massage is massage for pregnant women. Being able to be a part of the birthing process is very special to me. I am excited to have the opportunity to promote relaxation in a time that can be very stressful, and at times painful, as well as special.

At this time I will only be able to take "house calls". I would prefer to take clients that are located in the suburbs (Elmhurst, Westchester, LaGrange, CountrySide, Lombard, Villa Park, etc.). As long as I have an open space to work in I will not mind the state of your house, a massage will probably even push you to finally do that chore you were trying to avoid. I also don't mind if you have cats or dogs, if you don't mind that I say hi them. I will be making my own lotions, oils, and laundry detergant. If you have an allergy of any kind please let me know in advance just case I have to make up a new batch of lotion or oil. Last of all, if you would like to make appointment please make it 4 - 7 days in advance.

I look forward to being a part of your healing process
