Our Space
I’m based in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, and there is ample street parking. There are 25 stairs to climb to get to the massage space. The bathroom is not wheelchair accessible. I have some capacity to travel to clients for whom the space isn’t accessible.
Sliding Scale
Pricing is based on a sliding scale by annual income.
Appointments are available in 30 minute increments, and the pricing is the same for all types of massage. The exception is the chair massage, which is priced by the minute.
I don't verify people's incomes. I understand that circumstances may not make income the best indicator of what people can afford. I trust people to pay what makes sense within these ranges.
Types of Bodywork Offered
Massage and bodywork can contribute to health and well being in a variety of ways. Some of the benefits people experience with massage include increased relaxation, pain relief, stress relief, decrease in muscle tension, increased range of motion, better circulation of blood and lymph, improves sleep.
I am trained in a number of different bodywork techniques, including but not limited to the following:
I use some of the Swedish techniques (gliding, kneading, and tapping) for warming up muscles and fascia, and focus on deeper work in order to relieve muscle tension and pain. When useful, I may include stretching and trigger point work, working with tight areas within a muscle that refer pain to another area of the body.
I use Swedish and/or deep tissue massage techniques in a way that is safe for clients who are in their second and third trimester of pregnancy. Massage can be a great part of prenatal care, allowing the client to relax and providing some relief from tension and aches associated with pregnancy
I use lighter pressure gliding, kneading, and tapping to promote relaxation, stress relief, and circulation. This is great if relaxation and stress relief are the main objectives, if deeper pressure doesn’t feel good, or if a medical condition prevents deeper pressure from being safe.
