About Us

The schools focus was on sports massage, so my work can very specific working out trigger points. I have many different types of clients I work with. All with various needs.

this should not be called a facial. it was a full body experience and worth every single penny. omg.

My massage with Dina was one of the best I've had! After a brief consultation she understood my areas of concern and addressed my pain, stress, and tension. The room was warm, and comforting. The music was perfect. Dina's experience is obvious in her technique and skill. I came away feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed!
Had a wonderful 1st experience with Dina! She is experienced and it shows. She is skilled, and really knows what your body needs. Room atmosphere was perfect as well. Highly recommend!

I graduated from The Chicago School of Massage Therapy (CSMT) in April of 1993. I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since. I realized this was my true calling as soon as I attended a class describing the school and what was expected of us as students. Massage is truly my passion. I've taken an assortment of continuing education along the way. I feel I've really honed my skills over the years. I treat many different types of clients with varying issues. If you suffer from chronic pain or the occasional headache, I believe I can help you. CSMT was a school that really focused on sports massage, so I'm very well versed in not only deep tissue work, but very specific work. I feel that's what most people are truly seeking when they ask for "deep" work. I'm also trained in Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy. These are unwinding techniques that can be very effective in loosening tissue and helping with pain. I'm also a Reiki Master since 2005. Energy work is a also a wonderful tool in combatting pain & stress. Come in for a massage, and let my exceptionally skilled hands and compassionate heart help guide you on your true path to wellness.
In 2010 I decided to further my education by becoming a Licensed Esthetician. This 750 hour program taught me about different skin types and various skin conditions. I'm well versed in treating acne and in treating aging skin. My facial not only treats the skin, but the entire person. A session consists of the facial and additional massage to the hands & feet. Not only will your skin look amazing when you leave, but you will feel like a new person. This treatment is very relaxing. By the time I've cleansed and massaged the face, most people are well on their way to nirvana. I pride myself in the fact that I'm able to incorporate stellar massage with this treatment. It's not only satisfying for the client, but for myself. I really enjoy doing facials. It's a very satisfying feeling for someone to love how their skin looks, and feel ultra relaxed when they leave. I offer chemical peels if you're looking for quicker results in treating skin issues. I will customize a skin care regimen for you, that will lead to your best skin ever!

Making an appointment convenient to me was very easy, and Dina listened to me to find out my needs/expectations. The massage was a deep tissue massage and I am very pleased. The location is quiet, and the room very comfortable.

Dina is best massage therapist I’ve ever used. My husband agrees, which is why we make a 100-mile round trip to see her each month. And we both love her facials at least four times a year.

before she starts Dina listens to your concerns or what problems you are having with your skin, then as she starts the process she explains each step and what that step does. The foot massage was the bomb!!! I had a back facial, my back is so smooth and feels really good.
