Wanted a massage badly and was looking to see if I could get one same day. This task is typically…read moreimpossible but I saw this spot, their homepage advertised same day bookings and they actually had times available on their booking site with Alex! I checked the reviews for any mentions of Alex and they were all positive so I was pretty excited. From start to finish Alex was fantastic. He was very accommodating from the get go, offering to turn on the heating on the bed, covered my hair with a towel to keep my hair out of the way and support for my shoulders while he worked on me. It was clear that he was pretty knowledgeable with the body/muscles/anatomy and how to best take care of me with mobility and relaxation in mind, these two things are not always the easiest to find in one massage. I pretty much transcended by the end of the massage and was so, so happy to be pleased and not disappointed with trying out a new business and new therapist. I've gotten many massages and am excited to have found a therapist like him that I can feel confident about booking with again!

I'm extremely disappointed with how Emmanuel handled my membership issue and spoke to me. I had…read moregone out of my way to check with a team member ahead of time to confirm that my membership renewal and credits were in order, and I was clearly told everything was fine. On the day of my appointment, I was told the complete opposite and that my membership couldn't be honored, possibly due to a system error. When I escalated the issue to Emmanuel, he simply stated he has "45 employees under him" and cannot be responsible for what his staff tells customers. As a result, I was given an ultimatum to either cancel my appointment or pay full price, despite having confirmed everything in advance. This level of miscommunication and lack of accountability is incredibly frustrating. Customers should be able to rely on what they're told, especially when they take the extra step to double check ahead of time.

I'd book a trip back to Chicago just for this body work.

I surprised my mom with a visit to the Brazilian Lymphatic Spa in Chicago for a 90-minute Brazilian…read morelymphatic birthday massage and she shared her experience as follows, " I didn't know what to expect as I had never had one, but I was pleasantly surprised! After a brief tour of the spa, I was introduced to my massage therapist, Gita, who welcomed me very pleasantly. She took me into the room and explained that the technique is designed to stimulate the lymphatic system to help my body flush out excess fluids and toxins. She was extremely knowledgeable and eased any uncertainties I had at the beginning. I'm more accustomed to deep tissue massages, and the pressure of this is much lighter and more soothing. The actual massage felt amazing! I started in a face-up position, and Gita used a body brush first with lots of long strokes, especially around my stomach, legs, arms, and back. Each time she finished brushing a body part, she followed that up with adding lotion and doing the same motions with her hands only. It was very relaxing and almost put me to sleep a few times! The foot massage was wonderful also! She then moved to my face where she gave me a mini-facial using aromatherapy, a cleanser, hot towel & moisturizer. She used two different instruments on my face...a warm one and then a cold one, and both were refreshing. She finished off with a facial mist. She also used her stroke technique on my collar bone and towards my armpits which she said had lots of lymph nodes. After that, I flipped to a face-down position, where she did the same brush strokes and lotion on the back of my body. I really liked when she worked on my upper back, because the brush and then lotion strokes felt really good; next, she put a hot towel on my back, which felt like it melted any remaining tensions away! When my time was up, I felt completely relaxed but with more energy! Gita told me to make sure I stay hydrated to help with the lymphatic drainage. My digestive system seemed to be really happy these last few days, because everything's moving pretty fast! I would definitely try this again when in the city, and I would definite ask for Gita...she was so warm and professional!"

He's a bodybuilder himself and his technical skillset and knowledge level is remarkable. Each session changes based on what's needed rather than going by routine, which can also be hard to find.

Then I make an appointment for two people to get a massage for 10 am, go through a lot of trouble to walk here, and she's not here!!!! I call and she nonchalantly asks me to come at 11 like it's no big deal that she completely didn't show up. Thats really some ridiculous behavior to assume I have nothing else to do. With all the other spas in the city to choose from. Umm sorry-- you want to reschedule after we were already here, on time! What an asshole! So no, we won't be wasting any more time with you, We have plans today.. the plan was to visit you at 10 am, be done at 11 and carry on our day, I don't have time to waste my life all day walking to your business, hoping you might show up to work today. I'm really pissed off you messed up our whole schedule, not to mention waste of time walking all the way here. You are a terrible business. Wasted my time and energy!!!! Seriously horrible! One more thing... if you were going to be late, or cancel or needed to postpone to 11... BE A PROFFESSIONAL, and CALL ME before I trekked all that way out to see you... some people can't be walking blocks and blocks to experience a massage and then the masseuse doesn't show up. Terribly Bad service.
