I have seen Claire several times now, before and after my total hip replacement. She always takes time to ask me how I'm feeling, what issues I might be having, and what I'm hoping to accomplish during our visit. She never hurries or rushes. Claire is a great listener focusing on the areas needing immediate attention, while providing as much overall healing and care as possible during our sessions. Claire's work space is warm, comfortable, clean, quiet, and safe, making it easy to relax and surrender to her healing touch. I have had a number of massages over the past few years that were pleasant and satisfying. None of them come anywhere close to the level of care and attention I get from Claire. Not only is she an excellent therapist and practitioner on her own, she encourages me to talk with my physician and physical therapist about our sessions so she can coordinate her therapy with the treatments and care I'm receiving from my physician and PT as well. Claire is incredible! Her knowledge and skill put her head and shoulders above anyone else I've been to, and I very highly recommend her. I wish I had found her long ago. read more

When I went in to see Claire, my shoulders were frozen to the extent that I could not raise my hand any higher than shoulder level. I was also having collapses that were in part due to my neck position in my posture. Claire worked on my shoulder and chest with her firm touch and also stretched my shoulder and arm out. Now I can raise my hand well above my shoulder. In doing this, she corrected my neck position also. I am no longer having collapses. I have been a client of Claire's for about a year. Her work has always been exceptional. This is just the latest. read more

Like Mark D., I travel 2 hours round trip to see Claire. She is worth every second. I had ACDF surgery on C5-6 and C6-7 in 2015. After a year or so, I started seeing Claire to help break down scar tissue and loosen up muscles that had basically been frozen for 30+ years. The results have been incredible!! She listens, she gives advice on things I can do to improve, and she can 'feel' where my body needs attention. She is very knowledgeable about the human body and how the muscles work with each other. I've often told her that she is helping my muscles and body 'unwind'. I strongly, strongly recommend Claire. You won't be disappointed! read more

Trish is awesome. As I mentioned I have a torn rotator cuff shoulder and she was able to work the area for better pain free relief. Highly recommend. read more

Claire is incredible. If I didn't know any better I'd say her skills are pure magic. But it's so much more than that. She's knowledgeable. Skillful. And she truly cares about improving the mental and physical wellness of her clients. I've only ever had about 5 massages in my life (typically when I'm experiencing pain that needs relief) but this is hands down the the most effective massage I've ever received. I highly recommend. read more

Yelp nailed this! Claire took the time to listen and address my concerns, providing me with relief from limited shoulder movement and sore lower back. (Moved from MI to IL) Excellent service and professional, comfortable setting, I highly recommend her! read more

Claire is a lifesaver. Called her based on a recommendation from a local physio therapist because I was suffering from a major hamstring injury and she did amazing work to give me the much needed relief. read more

I've been on a major health and fitness journey that hit a stumbling block with late recovery of a frozen shoulder. Since we are in central Illinois expert care can be hard to source, but I found it! its a 2 hour round trip for me to see Claire, but her level of experience and perception are unmatched. I haven't been able to raise my arm over my head pain free for several years, however that changed today. Others with chronic pain may relate to my feelings of desperation and emotional fatigue from carrying the weight of forever pain... today that changed and I'm forever grateful. Frozen shoulder is a complex issue and I require more treatment, but the increase in range of motion; pain free, has given me hope. I'm a former athlete but I wiped a few tears of relief from my eyes on the way home. If you're looking for one of the best, look no further; you're as lucky as I was to find Claire, and help is now a phone call away. read more

Claire is extremely knowledgable about the human body. She has helped me so many times by alleviating pain and giving me a massage with lasting therapeutic benefits. She gives THE BEST MASSAGE IN ALL OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY (maybe even all of Illinois)!!! If you want a massage that is more than relaxing, Claire is the one to see. read more

Claire does excellent work. She always manages to find the exact spot that's sore and hurting. She is incredibly knowledgeable about massage, essential oil, and so much more. Definitely worth getting a massage from her. read more

Claire is a pro.....many years experience at totally bargain prices. She teaches at the local community college, the university's campus rec, provides massage therapy for a local chiropractor, and offers hours out of her own massage studio in her home. Sports massage, medical massage, aromatherapy, hot stone, etc. read more

Claire is excellent! After dealing with severe shoulder and neck problems along with daily headaches, had xrays and went to a couple different chiropractors, I finally found relief with Claire. She took my concerns seriously, working diligently and thoroughly to relieve my pain. Within a month or so of receiving twice-a-week massages, I finally felt the pain was under control and rapidly diminishing. When I feel my shoulders and neck tightening up again, I schedule a couple sessions with Claire and she effectively prevents the full pain from returning. I'm generally a bit tense and not one to really look forward to a massage, but Claire is great at making me feel comfortable and relaxed. I've gone to other therapists in the past - they were "okay," but not worth a second appointment. Now that I've found Claire, I don't see myself bothering to go to anyone else. She truly does a great job and is extremely knowledgeable about her work and techniques, and does it with a pleasant, friendly disposition. Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment - Claire is worth it! read more
