Tamara is top notch! I found her on Yelp and am so glad that I did. After running the Chicago…read moremarathon this past Sunday, I called on Monday to see if I could schedule an appointment. Though she was booked all day and was traveling the next day, she still let me come by during her only free hour since I was so sore post-race. The massage work is terrific. Tamara is very strong, but more importantly is also very skilled and is able to locate the knotted areas that need the most work. She's also very knowledgeable; I had initially asked for a deep tissue massage, but she explained that was too intense for one day after the race and did a mix of Swedish and deep tissue work. I was amazed by how much better my body felt the next day. The pricing is competitive, especially for such a good quality massage. Tamara is also flexible and allowed me to use Chase QuickPay, which was very convenient. I would most definitely recommend her and I will definitely be going back!

Her deep tissue massage therapy work is among the best I've ever experienced. She was able to both work out the knots in my shoulders, and she was also able to get to the root of my back problem (holding my large toddler incorrectly on one hip will need to change.) I know she can do the relaxing, Swedish type massage therapy also--but if you really need some serious body maintenance work done, Tamara can get it done. She was able to bring her table to my house, which was convenient. I think she'll come to Elmhurst locations with no additional fee--farther drives may have a fee. Pricing is competitive. Small discount for first time clients--see her web page for details.

Wow - just wow! I can't say enough amazing things about Carol and her massages. I found out about…read moreHands on Massage & Bodywork from an Empowered Pregnancy series run through Advocate Sherman Hospital. Carol came and talked about all the benefits of massage - things I never knew about! I was definitely a person who has never been interested in massage therapy and knew nothing about it. She blew me away with her knowledge! Through my pregnancy when I started getting towards the end I learned that through all of my lifting and workouts I had made my body really tight and not necessarily prepared for childbirth. I quickly booked a massage at a local, corporate massage place and instantly regretted it. The person had no idea how to massage a pregnant person and was basically doing a typical massage on a pregnancy table. That's when I contacted Carol and set up an appt with her. From the moment I walked in I could tell this experience would be different. She has such a calm demeanor and instantly put me at ease. Her room is calming and smells wonderful! She knew all about different oils to use, pressure points and different massage techniques to do at different stages of pregnancy. I had done a lot of research on these things and she was talking about all of it before I mentioned a thing! She is very cutting-edge in her training, but that is backed with years of experience. I have never felt so confident in someone's expertise and ability in a long time. The massage itself was so relaxing and everything I needed at the time. I saw her a handful of times leading up to my pregnancy and she was awesome about fitting me in when I had time to come see her. It was honestly the best part of the last weeks of my pregnancy and I wish I had gone to her sooner. My body felt great, I felt more relaxed, my mental state was better, and it was just some great "me" time before the baby came. She would even talk to me about massages to do and pressure points to engage to help with some of the problems I was having. Even though she was further away from where I live, it was so worth the drive out there and I recommend her to everyone! You won't find a better place to get a massage.

This is the review I wish I had read…read more For anyone seeking care here--especially those healing from sexual trauma or past boundary violations--I hope these words offer clarity before stepping into a space you may not fully understand or consent to. The studio is a single-room space with one mattress, used for both massage sessions and the practitioner's personal living, sleeping, and intimate activities. There is no physical separation between professional and personal space. There is also no shower--only a bathroom sink used for bathing. This means clients receive bodywork on the same surface used for sleep and sex. These conditions were never disclosed to me beforehand. Had I known, I would not have consented. Later, I became aware that at least one other female client was also involved in a sexual dynamic with the practitioner. I personally witnessed an extended intimate interaction inside the studio, visible through the large storefront window. This reflects a concerning pattern of blurred lines between healing work, residential living, and intimacy. Despite the relief I experienced physically, I ultimately left in more trauma than when I arrived--due to a total lack of professional containment, boundaries, and ethical clarity. I share this not out of malice, but out of responsibility. I personally would not have consented to therapeutic care here had I known more about the environment, the interpersonal dynamics, or the practitioner's ethical practices.
