I recently spent 2 days in the city of Chicago on a self care weekend. The evening before my…read moredeparture and to close out my weekend, I treated myself to a massage. 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!!

In my opinion, female customers are not treated with the same level of respect and attention as certain male customers. The atmosphere felt unprofessional, and some interactions I observed gave me the impression that staff maintained unusually personal relationships with male clientele. As a woman, I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome, and I would not return. If your husband enjoys coming to the ladies here, you should go see for yourself if you have his same enjoyable 'experience'
