National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Il geared my massage education to reflect a science based approach to the body and how to use massage in the physical rehabilitation of Chiropractic patients. NUHS is a well rounded natural medicine university including acupuncture, chiropractic and naturopathy as doctorate programs. I even had the privilege to study cadavers in my anatomy classes. I have added to that scientific foundation with energy and subtle techniques such as reflexology, autonomic balancing technique, craniosacral therapy and lymphatic drainage. I enjoy listening to the body through my clients feedback as well as subconscious feedback in the body to guide which technique is needed. I have learned a lot since graduating massage in 2002 and my Bachelors in 2005 (theater, I know, not related). And will always continue to study the amazing body.

When I'm not massaging I am parenting 2 sons, recording audiobook narration, writing and performing stand-up, acting, teaching massage, riding motorcycles with my husband, playing with my dog, going to church, or watching a movie. I also love to travel and have visited 4 continents and 10 countries (yes, I include connecting flights and the US). My husband and I hope to own a small sport plane in the near future (within 5 years) for him to clock hours. End goal? Aviation Missionary. Live life like its the only one you get.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Ronda on Mar 02
Amazing work!
by Diana on Feb 23
My chiropractor suggested I get a lymphatic drainage massage. I never had this kind of massage before. Nicci explained everything beforehand and again while performing the massage. She was very professional and pleasant. I do feel a positive difference after having this massage performed. I will use Nicci again when needing another massage.

Very personable and kind
by Jennifer on Jan 12
Wow! What an awesome job! Nicci was SO kind and knowledgeable. I went in with a migraine, and she knew which muscles to massage in my head, neck, and shoulders to help alleviate the pain. I'm glad I saw her when I did, no medicine was helping. The massage helped.

Walked in w/considerable pain, left w/almost complete relief.
by Shelly on Dec 18
Nicci took the time to get to know me and my issues with chronic pain. She took good care of me and gave me some instant relief. I made another appointment immediately. I am so happy to have found Nicci!

Nicci is an incredible masseuse. She is intuitive to what you want as well as what you need. She is gentle when needed but really knows how to work out the problems as well. Highly recommend!

Loved her knowledge of the body and her spirituality during my session.

Nicci is the best ever! I feel so much better every time I see her and my posture is better too. Love her so much!
