This place is for you if your idea of "relaxation" involves surviving a WWE Smackdown…read more I spent my entire session lying on a cot, wrapped in one sad little towel, waiting for what felt like an imminent full-body elbow drop directly onto my vertebrae. Feet in the air. Full momentum. Zero regard for human life. There was also absolutely no draping, so my entire backside was just... out. The towel wasn't covering me so much as it was there to witness the incident. Then she moved down to my lower back and general vicinity of my ass, where apparently the objective remained the same: leave no bone or shred of dignity intact. At some point I stopped wondering when the massage would end and started wondering whether I needed to tap out. If you've ever thought, "I'd love to pay someone to physically assault me while I lie helplessly on a cot with my ass hanging out," congratulations. You found your spa. FIVE stars

No frills but great pressure and really relieved tension I had no idea I had. We did the half & half combo with body and foot massage. You soak your feet in hot water while starting out with head, hand, shoulder, arm and leg massage in an open room with multiple beds then switch to another room/curtain closed area to change for back. Felt so light afterwards and for a great price!

I've also tried the Kobido face massage, which really helped with TMJ. I wish the buccal massage could be an add-on to the regular massage bc it is so effective at creating jaw tension release. I've also tried the other location in River North, and even though that one is closer to me, I didn't have as good of an experience with the massage therapists and opt to come to this one instead. Receptionists are always very friendly as well and I like the warm Apple cider they always have while I'm waiting. Not the fanciest spa experience but gets the job done.

Jess always gives great recommendations and she suggested my current masseuse Sharae who is amazing, I adore her and her uncanny ability to find my knots. Jesse (and Jackie) were the main reasons why I went with the membership, very good deal and they were not pushy and great about always making sure I use my benefits and get my rebooking deals.

I've had massages from chain massage places like Massage Envy all the way up to $1,000 spa packages and the quality of this massage is top rank. This isn't your full service spa with a relaxation room, steam rooms, slippers, robes, and other amenities, but if you are looking for a less-expensive but fantastic massage in a well-decorated but quaint atmosphere, then this is your place! I cross-checked all the massage Groupon offerings with Yelp, and this place was the clear winner. Although it doesn't have a ton of reviews, all of them are glowing - and for good reason! They sometimes have two massage therapists in the office, but I think that was just Thursdays at the time we were booking. Therefore, if you are two people you might have to take the massages in sequence, but it's worth the wait! There's a groupon for $49 for a 60 minute massage. I think if you call and ask they will honor the groupon price without having to purchase it. I highly recommend Maria and Lotus Touch to anyone!

This was one of the closer options to me since I don't drive, and I was worried this was going to be a mediocre massage since it didn't cost a lot. This was actually one of the best massages I've had since shopping for them on groupon. Laura was so nice and she had wonderful pressure as well as identifying where the tension was. She used a machine first for my shoulders and back to relieve and warm up my body for about 20 to 25 minutes, then she started rubbing the knots out and it hurt so good. The conversation we were having kept me distracted from how sore my body was. She also noticed that the amount of tension on my shoulders resulted in a slight misalignment in my neck. She got most of my knots out and rubbed the rest of my body for a bit. I appreciated it so much as her husband was kind enough to also adjust my neck and back for me. An absolutely wonderful experience where I will be recommending my family and friends as well.

I was gifted a groupon to Healing Hands and had a disappointing and somewhat nerve-wracking…read moreexperience. First of all, the scheduling system and office both seem to need some tuning up. I made the appointment and was told I would receive an email confirmation....I received 5 (somewhat annoying). I was also asked to fill out a survey beforehand but the link did not work. When I went in for my appointment I was not asked to fill anything out. Strange. The office does not look very professional. The massage table had a drab, wrinkled sheet placed over it and I wondered if it was used by the person before me. I don't even think it was a sheet (maybe just a piece of fabric - as I don't remember seeing seams. The nerve-wracking/scary part of my experience began as I came into the building. The office is in an apartment building at the end of a hallway on the 4th floor. I had the last appointment of the day and was surprised to find the halls dim and quiet (no one around) and no receptionist at the desk. The therapist was finishing with another client and when she left I looked around expecting to see someone else. I was alone in the big, quiet building with a 50-something year old man dressed in black. Besides being creeped out that is also unprofessional, especially when a male is treating female clients. You should always have someone else around for the clients safety and comfort and therapists (so they don't get accused of anything). Since the groupon was a gift I hadn't looked into the clinic, but soon realized it was a chiropractic clinic. The groupon was for a swedish massage but the therapist did a lot of just stretching my arms and legs (which I didn't really care for and couldn't relax because of the atmosphere - being alone and the bright room). He also was cracking my fingers and toes with is painful and creeps me out, but he stopped when I asked. The massage was very mediocre and I honestly didn't feel much different after leaving. When I was leaving, the therapist asked me to fill out a survey on the computer. Again, this seemed unprofessional and he was standing right there so I felt pressure to write a good review. :( Overall, it wasn't a very good experience and I was happy to get out of there.

Staying at my Airbnb (a high rise overlooking the city and lakefront) I had no intention to drive to a masseuse. Rather, I wanted the massage therapist to come to me. Given the space I was calling "home" for 2 days was simply spectacular and relaxing in itself, it was a no brainer. Since I'm not familiar with masseuses in Chicagoland, I went right to Yelp. A few names came up. Erica responded the soonest. My, I'm SO PLEASED she did! What a gem! It was a Monday and I messaged at 11 am to schedule a same day "in home" visit. Quite frankly, it was somewhat last minute! Not only did Erica respond promptly, she made sure she was available! My appointment was officially scheduled for 6 pm the same day. So I'll cut to the chase...if you're in need of a massage, or are looking to give an incredible gift...look no further. This gal is the REAL DEAL. I filled out a bit of paperwork prior to her arrival in order to better assist her with my needs, past history, aches problem areas etc. Heated table....warm blanket...incredibly relaxing. It's been two days and I still feel so loose and relaxed. I suspect I'll be booking in a more regular basis. Side note: Erica even asked if I wanted her to do a little video as many like to post on social media for content as well. She just seemed to have it all together. Definitely a fabulous quality and a welcomed one for a small business owner. Kind, knowledgeable and immensely skilled at her craft. I was truly impressed on so many levels. A true hidden gem! Thank you Erica! I'll be booking again!!
