I was so relaxed with the calming ambience, heated blankets, and excellent massage. Jil asked me if I had any pain or tension and made sure to give extra attention to those areas. She spent the full 90 minutes on massaging me, and it was truly rejuvenating. I highly recommend Jil and Healing Heart Massage Therapy!

Can't describe it but this woman is sooo worth the trip to Elgin. Her office is beautifully decorated and her pricing is what I feel to be very reasonable.

Wow - just wow! I can't say enough amazing things about Carol and her massages. I found out about…read moreHands on Massage & Bodywork from an Empowered Pregnancy series run through Advocate Sherman Hospital. Carol came and talked about all the benefits of massage - things I never knew about! I was definitely a person who has never been interested in massage therapy and knew nothing about it. She blew me away with her knowledge! Through my pregnancy when I started getting towards the end I learned that through all of my lifting and workouts I had made my body really tight and not necessarily prepared for childbirth. I quickly booked a massage at a local, corporate massage place and instantly regretted it. The person had no idea how to massage a pregnant person and was basically doing a typical massage on a pregnancy table. That's when I contacted Carol and set up an appt with her. From the moment I walked in I could tell this experience would be different. She has such a calm demeanor and instantly put me at ease. Her room is calming and smells wonderful! She knew all about different oils to use, pressure points and different massage techniques to do at different stages of pregnancy. I had done a lot of research on these things and she was talking about all of it before I mentioned a thing! She is very cutting-edge in her training, but that is backed with years of experience. I have never felt so confident in someone's expertise and ability in a long time. The massage itself was so relaxing and everything I needed at the time. I saw her a handful of times leading up to my pregnancy and she was awesome about fitting me in when I had time to come see her. It was honestly the best part of the last weeks of my pregnancy and I wish I had gone to her sooner. My body felt great, I felt more relaxed, my mental state was better, and it was just some great "me" time before the baby came. She would even talk to me about massages to do and pressure points to engage to help with some of the problems I was having. Even though she was further away from where I live, it was so worth the drive out there and I recommend her to everyone! You won't find a better place to get a massage.

I was desperate to get some alleviation on persistent back pain I had been dealing with for the last few weeks. I had never gone to a "strip mall parlor" so I was a bit leary at first, but my back was really bothering me so I caved and came to this location. I was surprised at how spacious it was on the inside and everything looked very clean. The lady at the front was nice and she quickly got me settled into a large room that had two beds in it. I had told the lady at the front that I wanted to do a 90 minute massage, but I did not really specify what type of massage or anything like that. The room was very dim, and the bed was cozy. There was soft Zen music playing, which was a lovely touch. The room also had two sitting chairs as well as hooks to hang your clothes on. I have had many massages in my lifetime , but this one was BY FAR the best. I don't know what king of massage it was, but definitely felt like some sort deep tissue because she really got in there. Many times she was kneeling on the bed itself to get deep into muscles that I didn't even know I had. It was like she had a roadmap to every bone and muscle and ligament in my body -- and she found every knot that needed to be untangled. By the end, I was exhausted and felt like all my muscles were stretched and smoothed out, and it was absolutely euphoric. I've spent the rest of the afternoon drinking plenty of water and resting my body because I can tell that I will have some expected muscle soreness over the next day or two. I will absolutely come back here again, and also going to convince my husband to come as well. Highly recommend this place if you want to get knots worked out and old muscles revived. The price for the service was unbeatable too. THANK YOU!!
