She's a sweetheart and I love her dearly; I've never met someone so kind and knowledgeable about health and beauty. She truly cares about her clients and their success. Now to the actual massage, first and foremost, lipomassage is not meant to make you lose weight! It's meant to reduce Inflammation of all sorts and boost your healing from inside out. Many people suffer from pain, swelling, lumps etc. This machine works to reduce all sorts of Inflammation. From my experience, I noticed after my massage I feel swollen but within 24 to 48hrs, the swelling reduced and I saw better results as I got more massages. You can't just come once and expect a miracle... remember Rome isn't built in one day! So if you expect to see results, you have to get enough treatment package. I purchased a package of 10 sessions which ran for 35mins. I started seeing big results on my lumps and swelling with diet and exercise at session 5. It is very important to drink alot of water because lipomassage is a lymphatic drainage massage. It helps aid your body to flow the right way and drinking water allows your body to excrete toxins etc. I have no regrets choosing to get this massage because my mind is already set on a healthy lifestyle not a "diet". I would advice if you want to get lipomassage, please be ready to drink alot of water, eat right and exercise. I'm hoping my review will help some of you skeptics. Remember anything worth doing is worth doing well. Stay healthy and beautiful ladies

I've noticed significant improvements in my overall health and gut, which is why I come in periodically for a detox reset. I was also dealing with back pain, and this powerful device, almost like cupping, has helped tremendously with that as well. I'm so grateful to have found this place. The entire staff is compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your well-being. Highly recommend!

Lisa Alvarez is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate healer who refreshes her practice with…read moreresearch proven, ongoing, cutting edge holistic training. Plus, her clinic is as relaxing as a spa: I feel soothed the minute I step inside! Upon separate occasions, Lisa greatly helped me recover quickly from two knee replacement surgeries as well as a hip fracture from a serious fall. Furthermore, her cutting-edge, e-stem acupuncture has been immensely healing, much more effective than dry needling. In fact, my physiotherapist told me I healed very quickly and he always found his clients who use acupuncture heal more quickly. In addition, Lisa provides other organic supplements, holistic therapies as well as topical pain relievers. These have been key for not only for my illness / injury recoveries they have helped me remain healthy as well as feel and look youthful. When Lisa opened Healing Foundations, I had been seeing another acupuncturist for over ten years. After seeing her, Lisa soon became the acupuncturist my I recommend to all my friends. I truly can't say enough about Lisa, she is a gifted acupuncturist!

I was greeted by the owner, who was incredibly friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. It's no surprise they've won Best Med Spa multiple times.

I am extremely disappointed by my most recent experience at this med spa. I had been happy with my…read moreprevious visits, which makes writing this especially difficult, but I feel potential clients deserve to know what I experienced. Before treatment, I disclosed my medical history, including my autoimmune conditions, and trusted the provider's recommendations. After my procedure, I experienced facial asymmetry, an uneven smile, persistent swelling, lumps, pain, numbness, and what I believed was eyelid drooping following Botox. These complications caused significant emotional distress and led me to seek care from urgent care, the emergency room, and multiple medical providers. What was even more upsetting than the complications was how my concerns were handled. Instead of feeling supported, I felt dismissed. When I shared photos and explained what I was experiencing, I felt my concerns were repeatedly minimized. The owner even suggested that I had Photoshopped my own pictures rather than acknowledging what I was seeing. She also brought up unrelated personal issues, including my past relationship, and suggested my concerns were due to insecurity instead of addressing the complications I reported. I remained respectful and focused only on discussing my symptoms and the results of the procedure. I also requested my medical records. I was told to contact Dr. Medrano directly, but despite doing so, I have not received my records or a response. Being ignored after experiencing complications has only added to my frustration. This experience has cost me time, money, medical visits, and a great deal of emotional stress. I strongly encourage anyone considering treatment here to thoroughly research every procedure, ask detailed questions about the risks, make sure informed consent is properly completed, and seek a second opinion before moving forward. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this med spa.

Going into it, I really didn't know what to expect and honestly wasn't expecting much -- but I'm so glad I gave them a chance. Both Pinky and Carmelo have helped me so much throughout this process. They've guided me every step of the way and always take the time to explain everything clearly instead of just trying to sell me things. Pinky especially makes sure I do my "homework" and understand exactly what I'm putting into my body before rushing into anything. What really stood out to me is how genuine she is. There were products and services she could have easily sold me, but instead she was honest about what I truly didn't need so I wouldn't waste my money on something that wouldn't benefit me much. That says a lot, especially because this is her business. It truly shows that she cares more about her customers and their results than just making a sale. With their support, I've reached huge goals in just a few months -- goals that honestly would have probably taken me years to reach on my own. My transformation has been significant, and I truly feel like they care about me not just as a customer, but as a human being. I'm very thankful for both of them and for all the support, guidance, and knowledge they've given me on this journey.

When I moved to Chi 3 months ago, I was worried that I wouldn't find an acupuncturist as good as the one I had in SF. I was so happy to have found Sunae. She is absolutely the best. She truly cares about her patients. She listens to your needs and tailors her treatments accordingly. She always goes above and beyond my requests for treatment and suggests new ways to improve my lifestyle in enhancing the treatment. I always feel very relaxed during and after my appointments with her. Sunae makes you feel at home. Very little to no pain -- so don't worry if you're a first-timer. She uses high-quality needles. I felt a big difference even after just one treatment. I highly recommend Sunae as your acupuncturist! You won't be disappointed.

I try to take really good care of my skin, at home, and I occasionally get facials, but this one treatment (the 12-step facial) made my skin look better than it ever has. Ever. (side note - I ran into my neighbor a week after my facial and she said that she and her husband had seen me in passing a day or two before and BOTH commented on how good my skin looked! So it's not just me who noticed, clearly). One thing I appreciated that the owner Anisa said is that they don't do things there that you can do yourself. A scrub? A mask? That's usually what facials I've had do. And... those are things I do at home, all the time. THIS facial, though. Peels, microdermabrasion, oxygen, LED light - I mean. It was a lot, and I appreciated the explanation of each step by my aesthetician. It's not inexpensive, but they offer a subscription plan where you get multiple treatments at a bit of a discount so I plan to do that. But I have told so many people about how great my experience was. The salon is gorgeous, and the facial was the best I've ever had. I will absolutely be back.

Only downside is they are so far away and not in such an easy or convenient location for suburbanites or inner city dwellers of Chicago. But if you can get an appointment and find the spa - be on time - come an hour early if possible. Take the train and taxi the rest of way. A taxi ride to spa from fox valley area is about $87 - $120. And that works too if you plan a two hour commute and get there usually in 45 minutes to 75 minutes to at most 90 minutes. Then wait and be glad your there EARLY. LATE AS 15 minutes and they cancel your services. Also the CO2 LASER IS A MIRACLE. The Botox administered is alright - better than most administrators of the cosmetic injectors I have found in Chicago and suburban areas of Illinois. It just doesn't seem to last as long as I'd like it to. Filler I have not yet tried. Be nice super nice because it helps if you decide you want to try adding on a service that day or changing your services. They do accommodate on some rare occasions but it's still worth it to be as calm and nice as possible and follow their regimens. Overall A+ for effectiveness of services provided and how you feel after treatments - so long as your not rushed. Be EARLY:) xoxo - TCE -

The…read moreshort time I saw this doctor was not only a complete waste of time and money, but it also was a detriment to my health. AS SOON as I went to another doctor, they were able to diagnose me and help me with immediate results. Dr. Olivio diagnosed me with IBS which isn't even close to what I have and prescribed me medical that was extremely expensive. If I had continued to see her, my health would have suffered. She was at least 30 minutes late for every single appointment and when I did see her, she was rude and unsettling. Not to mention, this is the kind of doctor that grabs and pushes and clearly doesn't care if she hurting you. Every time I talked to her, it was like going back to square one. The doctor is not present and for someone in the industry of care, I never felt that kind of care. This place has no business practicing medicine. Go there to have your nails done, don't go there looking for a doctor.
