I am so glad I live so close to her now! I went to her a few years back for some stubborn knots around my shoulders, and it was great. Fast forward to now, knots are even worse and take up most of my back and neck. She used a hot stone which was seriously amazing. I have some really rough spots on my back and my neck, and although discomfort is inevitable, she did a phenomenal job not making me want to cry. It was still super relaxing and felt really good. Pressure was perfect. There is no reason I'd go to anyone else! Parking out front too. Winning. read more

I saw Jaye for the first time yesterday and I couldn't be more pleased. She is a true master of massage. I have had at least 50+ massages from private therapists, wellness centers and doctors offices most often paid for by my insurance. I have rarely encountered a therapist with Jaye's skill set and understanding. She took the time to diagnose and explore what was happening to my body and causing me pain. She did this intensively and very thoroughly. I feel amazing and got up without any pain or discomfort this morning. If you are looking for a highly skilled and knowledgeable therapist you will not be disappointed. I'm so glad I found an amazing therapist in my neighborhood. I could easily get a massage at my chiropractors office and pay next to nothing. My next massage will be from Jaye. read more

Jaye is a remarkable and knowledgeable massage therapist, and totally lived up to the billing. I'd been suffering from chronic shoulder and neck pain for a long time, and Jaye was able to help about 80% after the first session. Subsequent sessions have helped me identify other problems and start to work on reprogramming how my nerves move my muscles which affect my bones. This therapy has helped ameliorate some early symptoms of arthritis. I can't say enough positive about Jaye and her work. She is a vital part of my health care routine! read more

Since this review, I've seen Jaye a few more times, and also seen 3 other practitioners. I'll just put it this way: The other practitioners I can see for free. I'm still paying to see Jaye. read more

So I'd been working 12-16 hour days for weeks straight, sometimes with weekends off, but other times not. Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be advertising producers. But I digress... ANYWAY, my back and neck were so knotted up on top that I'd had a severe headache for days that only opiates could combat. Because I didn't want to have to develop a habit and find myself checking into Betty Ford, I checked in with BodyTrippin' simply because it was a few minutes from my house and had good Yelp reviews. This is easily of the best massages I've ever had and I've had a lot (hundreds, probably): everything from ashiatsu (where the therapist walks on your back) at an solid old school Korean spa to the more laid back types you get at places like Burke Williams or other higher end spas. Jaye worked out all of the knots that had been making me nuts for days (maybe even a week), and even found a few more and knocked those out too. Her bodywork was strong and solid without feeling rough. Strength in massage therapy is really important to me because wussier massages do absolutely nothing for my pain; the great part is when I told Jaye that, she listened, and the massage was perfect. I did take a look at her site in advance and figured out what I needed... apparently Trigger Point Therapy is the trick. My bet is that whatever style of massage therapy you prefer would be executed superbly. read more

Typically I'll grab whatever specials or deals ( ie Groupon, Yelp ) and get massage therapy from people with ok results. Getting one from Yelp with Jaye at BodyTrippin' was one of the best ones I've had so far where now I am a repeat client. Jaye really knows and understands the body. Like any expert, you tell them what ails you and they know exactly how to remedy the situation efficiently and effectively. She's also flexible with her schedule, really friendly and always gives good deals occasionally. I'm a pretty active person and to have someone like Jaye available when you strain or spend too much time sitting in an office is a great relief. Highly recommended. read more

Jaye was fabulous! I've had chronic pain in my upper back for years and I've never been to a massage therapist who was able to relieve the pain after only 1 session. Jaye was able to relieve the pain in my upper back and a trigger point in my lower back that I didn't even know I had. She even gave me suggestions for things to try at home between sessions. I will definitely go back to see Jaye! I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I just got back from my massage with Jaye and felt compelled to write a review. I work as a waitress, which takes quite the toll on my body and often my back and legs are just masses of tangled knots. During the massage it felt like a fairly routine, relaxing massage experience with a few moments of "ow" when she worked out my knots but afterwards was when it hit me. I have no idea what she did to my body but I have never felt more relaxed and comfortable in my life. The baseline feeling of tension and discomfort that I always carry around in my shoulders and legs was just melted away. Amazing. I highly recommend her massage service; and an extra nugget of massage advice is to upgrade to the 75 or 90 minute. Those extra minutes make all the difference. read more

I've had plenty of therapeutic massages at well known spas and from excellent CMTs in the Chicago Land area, and after seeing Jaye about a half dozen times, I feel qualified to write a review. Here's my experience: First: What enticed me to schedule with BodyTrippin were the flexible hours, evenings and weekends in particular, which work well with my crazy schedule. At first I was wary booking online, but it was simple and fast through the Web site. Reliability is essential because my time is valuable. No hassles. Second: The business is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood, in which parking seems available. I bicycled to the sessions and left my bike in the facility's garage. Convenient. Third: I took advantage of the shower once after biking there on a super hot day. The session room is clean and quiet. The music is appropriate. Good ambiance. Lastly: My ninety minute sessions were remarkable. I felt that Jaye had almost super intuition because she dug into the knots in my back and calves and provided all around awesome deep tissue/Swedish massages that put me in the zone and left me feeling that the weight of the world dropped from my shoulders. Professional and outstanding. I should mention that the price is definitively below market so I always tip. And I also prefer to support individual and family businesses. Truly. read more

I received a massage from Jaye last December for the first time as she offered an introductory special of 90 minutes for $75. It was close to my house and it was a great massage. I've received many massages and this one was good, although not the best I've ever received. But it's so dependent on preference and communication. Jaye was great and listened to my lifestyle/habits to understand where I hold stress, and she was able to detect where I was sore throughout my body. I haven't been back but it has nothing to do with my rating of the Jaye, and more to do with my schedule and finances. I enjoyed my massage with her and when I am able to get another one I will definitely reconsider going back. read more

I work long hours in corporate america and I run marathons. After my last marathon - Fox Valley 9/16 - I wanted to find a new massage therapist close to my home in Edgewater. After seeing the excellent reviews on Body Trippin. I decided to head there. I took Foster 92 bus West to Ravenswood to find nice quiet building where I met Jaye. After a quick consulation and a great intro rate - I left feeling refreshed. I will be back -A+ read more

I've been to Jaye several times over the last few years. Most recently it was to break up some serious stress tension in my shoulders. I went because she does trigger point massage in addition to her wonderful deep tissue massages. But she did something different on me - honestly I can recall the name. Something with Myofacial in the title and no else in Chicago does it. I feel great. And I've already made an appointment to go back. This is a place for serious massage. It's not a spa. And it's great. read more

Very pleasant experience! Professional, efficient and knowledgeable about everything "back"!! Offered me unsolicited suggestions for future pain management at the risk of losing my future business - who does that??!! Great atmosphere, calming music - will definitely visit again... a true Pro! read more

Amazing work by Jaye. visit today with appointment for the first time visit, Jaye very patiently scan my body's pain by using her fingers, the pressure is perfectly applied during the massage. after the section I feel much better on my lower back pain. definitely recommend this message place read more

Back in the days when she was working under the old Holistic Healing Chicagoland title, Jaye was my go-to massage therapist. The name change closely reflects her philosophy about her clients' needs and its exciting, I plan on coming back. And about Jaye... this girl is definitely a trip! With the soothing reggae beats in the background, I could feel myself relaxing away.. much cheaper than a vacation. As a teacher and marathoner, my body and sanity takes a beating on a regular basis. I've been a regular client for a couple of years and she helped me out on numerous occasions. She ironed me out many times, from a debilitating stiff neck strain to my must have post-marathon massages. I was up and about in no time! Jaye is extremely professional, considerate of her clients' needs, goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable and builds an excellent rapport. Most of all, she doesn't take herself too seriously and knows how to have fun. I'm very picky about my massage therapist and she stands out from the rest.I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs quality care for a decent price. It's a serious body trip.. its so worth it! read more

I've been seeing Jaye for my massages before she ventured out on her own. Before she did, there was some lag time on response and her availability was limited. Now her response time is very quick. I contacted Jaye about a possible massage and she responded the same day and I got a massage scheduled the very next day. No waiting in discomfort!! The environment is very calm and peaceful and the background music is very relaxing as well. Jaye is very good at listening to what your needs are, and with my current back issues, her massages do a great deal of help for me. I refuse to go see anyone else for my massages now. If you haven't had one or are looking for a place to go, please contact her and get a massage in! read more

I had a great bodywork person in LA till she followed her "lover" to Prague. Since then I have been getting crappy massage after mediocre massage. That is until I moved to Chicago and found Jaye. She actually understands what a deep tissue massage is and can tell where I need the work most on her own. If you are feeling tight and crunchy you MUST call Jaye. read more

I'd never had, nor really considered, getting a massage until I got a gift certificate here. everything was perfect. I was made to feel totally comfortable and the session time just flew by. I could lay there all damn day. highly recommended. read more

Jaye has a fantastic set-up! We graduated from the same class at Cortiva/Chicago School of Massage Therapy and am so happy that she has this successful business. Her office is warm and inviting and her table is an awesome motorized/adjustable table, which was pretty great for my wrenched back. As a fellow Massage Therapist that works hard and needs regular bodywork, I know a great massage...Jaye gets an A+ read more

Jaye gave me one of the best massages I've ever had! My husband gave me a 90 minute massage as a gift and I used it yesterday. She has a room in a building with other businesses, but once you are settled, you feel like you are in a spa. The right amount of pressure and focus on problem areas, but also very relaxing. I hope to return soon! read more

If you are looking for a good place to get a awesome massage then this is the place. People are friendly and know how to work the knots.

I have been to the office to see Celia and she is outstanding for prenatal massage. I highly recommend her there for general and prenatal. I just had my little girl 3 1/2 weeks ago and could not get to the office for a massage. I checked the site and found that Jaye did mobil massage and what a life saver. She was on time, very professional and gives an outstanding massage. I feel so much better and didn't have to take my little girl out in the cold and hope she behave the entire time I was there. I highly recommend her there at the office or if you can't leave do mobil massage I swear I didn't even think I was at home it was Outstanding and I feel so much better. Thanks so much Jaye. read more

After being tired of giving me massages and hearing about my back pain complaints, my girlfriend convinced me to get a professional massage. She suggested a few salons and what not, but after searching on yelp this place seemed to be more my type of thing. A little more relaxed and less commercial. It was a good atmosphere, very relaxing, and a great massage. read more

This review is long over due. I went a couple months ago when I was having terrible pain in my shoulder and neck. Jaye was very professional, and made me feel at ease right away about getting my first massage. She reminded me that it may take a few days for the pain to go away, but to give it time. She was exactly right. The pain was gone in two days, and I felt so much better. read more

I went in with some serious neck pain and left feeling great. Jaye is very professional, friendly and nice. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some relaxation and/or relief from pain. read more

Jaye is the best! I came in with a knot as big as a walnut in my calf from a running injury and she patiently and as painlessly as possible spent an hour working it out. I have a half-marathon to run in 11 days and I'm only going to be able to run because of Jaye. I've also seem Jay for regular relaxation massage and for Thai massage and she's also excellent in both fields. Her office is very quiet and conveniently located - give her a try! read more

I had my first massage with Jaye today, I have a seriously knotted up back, Within a couple of minutes I knew that she was very skilled and found my knots like heat seeking missile! I'm not going to lie and say that it was not a bit painful but that is because of the condition I went there for. She was excellent and I'm glad to have found her from google. I am planning to go back to continue working out my kinks, and am thankful to find such a gem! read more

Jaye is a highly experienced and talented massage therapist. I say this as not only a client, but a fellow massage therapist. As you can imagine, I am rather picky about the bodywork I receive. She's confident, knowledgeable, thorough and super-fun to chat with. Whether it's basic relaxation or a more clinical approach, Jaye is the therapist for you. I highly recommend her services. read more

I have been going to Jaye for massage therapy since she was in massage school. She has continually improved and gotten better each time I've gone to her. I go mainly for pain relief from running/biking exercise. She always addresses the specific issues I have and I always go away feeling much better than before. read more

The place had a great atmosphere with a variety of holistic healing practitioners. Jaye is an excellent therapist. I walked in with a lot of neck tension and lower back pain and left completely relaxed and pain free. read more

I am a massage Therapist and have finally found a therapist who really understands the body. I would highly recommend Jaye.

I recommend Jaye without reservation. I went in thinking what I needed was a relaxing massage but what I really needed was some deep muscle work to deal with multiple tension points and lingering effects from a back injury. Her approach, concern, and avenue of treatment were both professional and generous. I left feeling much better and look forward to my next session. read more

The massage was good; the instructor was a bit curt and seemed to not really want to be there, which was weird because the room had a lot of decorations and a spiritual vibe. Maybe she was having an off day. I guess I expected a little more because it was a private company and not a place like massage envy. read more

I have been going to Jaye for a several years now and she is the best. She has helped me with pain and is very nice. One feels totally comfortable in her studio. I feel 150% better every time I leave her. I have also sent my wife there who was cured of neck pain in one visit and my daughter who had swimming pain was cured after one visit. I would recommend her most highly. She has a great personality and really loves to make people feel better. Sign up for an appointment online very simple and easy. read more

I've been to Jaye a few times now - including for an outstanding massage today. She has a great touch and excellent assessment skills. I highly recommend her! read more
