History
Established in 2006.
Over the past few years, I have had success with my business At Your Service Spa, where I traveled out to many client's homes and locations, offering full body spa services (e.g. body wraps, body scrubs, full body massage) to individuals. Among full body services, spa parties were also a big hit.
Recently, I have chosen to refocus my energies toward a different market i.e. The Workplace. As a Chicago native, it has been my experience to run across so many people that I service to be so stressed from their jobs. No matter what kind of role they hold, blue collar or white collar, all are stressed and usually in the same areas: the neck, back, shoulders, and hands. So my idea was to go to the source where the stress starts, in the workplace.
So now, At Your Service Spa® has evolved into A Different Stroke® Wellness, a local business on the North-Shore. We are committed to servicing your company with the best solutions to keep your employees happy, healthy and more productive.

I have always had a passion for wellness. Ever since I was 12 years old, I knew that it was meant for me to have a hand in making people feel better about themselves, and about their outlook on life. I can still remember that moment that confirmed my passion. It was the summer of 1994 when a family friend expressed that her shoulders were tight and the massage gadget she had was not working out. Sympathizing with her discomfort, I decided to go over to her and offer her a massage. At the end of her 5 minute session, she gave a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "I feel so much better". It was the joy that I felt from her feedback that moved me to want to make everyone feel that way. She was my very first "client" at 12 years old.
I am a member of the Wellness Committee with the Metropolitan Club of Chicago where my husband and I are members. I am also a member of the Massage Therapist and BodyWorkers of Chicago and the Hands On Trade Association; a full circle of wellness!
