I've tried just about everything for my chronic pain issues over the years, but have never found…read moreany real relief. Always the same pains, always the same hope that maybe someone will fix it, and always the same disappointment. Massage and chiropractic adjustments felt good for a day or so, but that's all. I'd still end up with the same pains in the same spots. I never had any sense that I was progressing; I just felt more stuck and hopeless. I've also been dealing with a long series of deaths and losses recently, and my body decided to hold onto THAT pain and grief in those exact same pain spots, too. Not fun. I'm 58, and felt as though I was 98. I'm profoundly grateful that I met Brendan Gill at Whole Body Kinetics. During my initial visit, Brendan listened patiently, made detailed notes, and then walked me through what Rolfing is and what it could do for me. Rolfing aims to restructure how the entire body functions, and addresses the root issues instead of just the superficial "trouble spots." It can also help address deeper emotional issues when they seem to be locked inside the body. I started the 10+ series that day. To say that I feel better is an understatement. I felt and saw improvements after each session in both my body and in my emotional state. Every session built on the previous one, and I felt more flexible and lighter with each visit. The emotional releases have been equally profound, and I've found Rolfing to be an amazing partner to my psychotherapy. Brendan truly creates a space where deep healing can happen, and has the skills to initiate lasting changes. When I first met Brendan, I moved like the Tin Man in need of the oil can. Now I feel and move more like Scarecrow. Your reasons for going to see Brendan will be different that mine, and our journeys will not be the same. I know, however, that you will be amazed at the changes you see and feel in yourself. Just go.

I have been going to Whole Body Kinetics with Brendan for almost two years - I finished the 10…read moresession series and then started some regular tune-ups for ongoing inflammatory arthritis. I have never worked with a more talented and intuitive body worker. This is not a massage with dim lighting and soft music. Rolfing seems to overlap a little with massage but is more of a clinical intervention. It is a transforming and extremely helpful experience working with Brendan, who is a consummate professional.

The PA (Amanda, I think) made me feel a lot better on a follow-up visit and actually listened to and answered my questions. * Edit: their admin called me and helped with the billing, which I appreciated.

Dave is one of the most compassionate and powerful healers I know.

Dave's way of explaining the session and sharing his insights regarding what comes through the session is always so helpful and affirming as well. If you are seeking a local reiki healer who both teaches and practices traditional Japanese reiki, please don't hesitate to reach out to him. He is so full of information and genuinely wants to help you find the best way to help you balance your energy and help you return to a grounded, empowered, and internally connected state. His space is bright, and filled with so much beauty... it truly feels like a temple and is deeply conducive to healing work. If you're looking for a a true healer... you've found one!

OMG I am so glad I found Van. He was recommended to me by a…read morefriend of mine. I have tried so many massage therapists in the past some were great, some left me bruising.. not so great. I honestly did not know what to expect from a spirit guided massage. Even after he explained to me his gift I was still a little on the fence with it but he was offering as a free service so I figured why not! The experience was amazing. The session took longer than what I usually get from other masseuse. I'm definitely going to be making another appointment soon to keep my body in tune. I'm still a little on the fence about the spirit guides thing but I have to say Van truly does have a gift when he comes to his massage abilities and his variety of techniques that he uses in his session.

Her office is located on the top floor of a building in Rogers Park with free street parking right in front. She asked me questions before the session began, provided me with water, and even had me choose the lotion or oil scent of my preference. She told me that I will be spending most of the time lying on my sides (because of my belly) and that she uses hot stones during the massages. I never experienced them before but it sounded good to me! Overall the massage was great & I left feeling relaxed. So relaxed I came back another 2 times during weeks 34 and 36! I'm looking forward to coming back to Karen post-pregnancy for a regular massage.
