I would give Adele 10 stars if I could! This review is way overdue (sorry Adele!) but she was so amazing there's no way I could forget. In fact, I'm finding an excuse to visit Chicago again mostly so I can book with Adele again! #truestory I was visiting Chicago in October 2019 and woke up with a headache and lots of tension in my neck. I needed a massage so badly and went to Yelp. Adele has stellar reviews so I booked with her and was lucky enough she had a cancelation that afternoon. I originally booked her for a 75 min massage but she was so good and had some extra availability, we agreed to extend. Adele is an absolute gem! I actually went to massage school years ago so I know when someone knows what they're doing and when they're just BS'ing me. Adele's the real deal. She is incredibly compassionate, gentle but firm when needed, highly intuitive, and just all around very skilled at her trade. She pours her heart and soul into giving you the most fantastic massage. What I particularly loved about my session with her, as others have mentioned, is that she sits down with you at the beginning of the session to check into how you're feeling--not just physically but emotionally as she truly cares about providing an all encompassing healing session. And the chocolates at the end are nice too! :) Thank you so much Adele and please forgive me for taking so long to review you. I get sidetracked a lot but believe me, I could never forget you! Until next time...And tip her! She absolutely 1000% deserves every penny! read more

We are from out of town and called Adele in a Sunday morning because my wife's neck was killing her. Adele had us come in, spoke to us for a while and was very generous with her time. My wife feels 1000 times better! The medical professional building she is in is beautiful as well. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing massage in Chicago! She is located right by Millennium Park in downtown. She blended pressures and it was amazing how she could just tell where the tension is at. It's like she knew without me having to tell her what hurt. I've had many massages from different therapists and I was pleasantly surprised how great Adele is! Highly recommend!! read more

Completely exceeded my expectations!! This was hands down the best massage I've ever gotten. Adele was very accommodating given such a short notice. If you are in the Chicago area, you should definitely check her out! read more

I got a same day appointment for my spouse and I. The location was clean and easy to find. Adele did an amazing job pinpointing my problem areas. The lotion she used was sooo soft. My husband said it was a great massage. Don't think twice, just book it, you will not regret this massage therapy session! read more

I was in Chicago for a work trip and Adele was able to squeeze me in due to a cancellation. I left relaxed and limber. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Chicago. read more

I had a great experience here, Adele was professional and worked toward my needs. I would recommend her services.

First, I would like to thank all folks who took the time to share wonderful insight about a beautiful soul, Adele who is passionate in her trade. Particularly, Abigail B. (2019 service- 2020 Review), after going through reviews about different businesses, I was convinced about Adele after reading your review, I was certainly going to have an amazing experience. Just like I expected, Adele didn't disappoint. Adele is a beautiful soul who is passionate about her trade and truly delivers with compassion, love, and absolute attentiveness. It's not just providing a massage, but the importance of laying the groundwork to mentally connect with you via a sit-down face-to-face conversation before starting her work. She spent time getting to know me, and all the rhyme and reasons for my appointment, and overall tapped into my emotional well-being. Having some knowledge of spirituality, and the mind & body alignment for well-being, I was very appreciative of her desire to understand my emotional & physical state of mind. Her technique truly lays the groundwork to give you an amazing and relaxing experience. Given, that I am usually a tense and jumpy person, I was shockingly surprised at how easily my body responded to her work. And coming out of my session I felt about 10 lbs lighter. Also, worth mentioning the comfort of her place. It's spotless clean and amazing location. All in all, Adele is a gem and a wonderful/caring soul. I am grateful for finding her and definitely will be her repeat customer from here on. read more

Adele, is great makes you feel at ease and is the greatest. I highly recommend her. So glad I found someone who knows what they are doing

I love massages and Adele gives some of the best!! I missed my no frills Chinese massage parlors in NYC and she's the closest I have found to it in Chicago. I have tight shoulders and my lower back acts up on me, but she has the best technique and I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. She also remembers my ailments and makes sure to go back if I need more focus on certain parts. It's a shame she's only one person, but she makes it easy to book appointments via texting directly with her. Adele usually accommodates next day bookings and is very flexible. I've even turned my mom onto her and whenever my mom comes into town for a visit, she requests being taken to Adele for a massage. read more

A session with Adele is magic. I have been to a couple places in Chicago, even high end places, and no one compares to Adele. I have to fight myself to stay asleep just so I can enjoy. read more

Adele is a wonderful healer and person, who is not only the most skilled massage therapist I've worked with but also goes above and beyond in her care for her clients. She is a kind soul who always greets you with chocolate and water and remembers things you'd never expect anyone with as successful a practice as hers to remember. Healing others is her calling and she helped me through years of stressful jobs and life transitions that took their effect on my muscles and joints. She is also fully vaccinated and puts you completely at ease in her beautiful downtown office space. I could not recommend her more highly as one of the truly rare and special people I have been lucky to find to improve my physical and mental health through her unparalleled massage work. She is the best and you deserve someone like her in your life! read more

Adele is the consumet massage therapist professional. She combines the unique ability to relax her clients while providing rejuvenation and energy. As a business traveler and older athlete, I make it a habit to schedule her when I arrive in Chicago to reduce my pain from travel and exercise to help prepare me for my customer meetings. She understands her clients and focuses on their stress points and pain areas. Due to the pandemic I was not able to visit Chicago but recently was able to schedule her for a treatment and I spent two hours of therapy which reminded me why she is the very best massage therapist I have ever experienced. If I could rate her higher than 5 stars I would. If you have the time I recommend 90 to 120 minutes with her. read more

There is no one else like Adele. She is professional, skilled, caring and absolutely wonderful. Her studio is beautiful and very relaxing. I have visited her for over five years and she makes me feel very relaxed. She is flexible with appointment times. read more

Adele is the sweetest!!! She is SO affordable to be located in the loop! And she gets the job DONE! I was so achy & tired, she gave me the best 70 minute deep tissue massage!!! I frequent her at LEAST once a month! read more

Really fantastic experience all around. Usually I sit on a review for a day or two, but felt compelled by the overall positive ambiance and vibe to write a glowing review. 1) Adele is extremely malleable and will adjust the massage to your trouble spots and/or needs. She will still work full body, but focus, focus, focus, and that I appreciate 2) Someone mentioned soft hands. This is emblematic of the balance of Adele's massage experience. She has especially soft hands which is a great thing for massage, but she works them in deep for those hard-to-reach muscles, knots, and sore spots 3) The whole setting up process couldn't have been easier. Adele is again flexible, a call to set up the appointment, a quick text to confirm details such as suite number for a first-time client, and we were good to go 4) There are a few more goodies offered, such as chocolates (white or dark!), water, apples, etc. to feel satisfied 5) Finally, and most importantly, I'd underline the quality of the massage. It was a perfect balance of deep and relaxing. I left in a super positive state and felt as though progress had been made in my trouble spots, but without any pain or over-attention, such that the whole experience was like cloud-like and refreshing read more

Honestly best massage ever !! I would recommend Adele to anyone!! She did a fantastic job and worth every penny!! Definitely make the time to see her read more

How fortunate was I to discover Adele yesterday! I was staying at the Hyatt on East Wacker and had a sd sore back and thankfully they recommended Adele. I called and was so fortunate to get in later that day. Adele texted me to be sure I knew exactly where I was going and was so kind when I arrived. I really liked her style of talking to you and understanding what your needs Were before she began her session. Throughout the session she just wanted to be sure everything was as it should be in that my needs. She went above and beyond in the 90 minutes I was there. I arrived sore and stressed and left very relaxed and comfortable. Highly recommend Adele for any relaxation, stress management or sports related injury. She was great. read more

I read the reviews on Yelp about Adele and messaged her via her Yelp Page "Request an Appointment" button and as soon as I hit send-she immediately telephoned me to set up an appointment...absolutely amazing! Anywhoo... I went here to destress! Adele is absolutely amazing..so kind and an excellent massage therapist! When I arrived, I knocked on the door which had her name on it and she opened the door. Upon entering into the sitting area (2 easy chairs and a small table). I sat in an easy chair across from Adele and she presented me with a goodie bag of two chocolate bars, a bottle of water, a banana, and an apple...very sweet and a nice touch! We discussed where I was feeling stress in my body prior to the massage. Adele..referred to the experience as a "retreat" ....imagine a "Tropical Chicago Retreat!" Very good advice as it puts the mind in a "happy" place! I also found the background new age music very relaxing during the massage. The massage was 75 minutes and very, very relaxing. I felt like a new person when I left there. I will definitely be back. Thank you Adele..you are the best! read more

I had the pleasure of getting a massage by Adele today. I'm in Chicago for work related business and woke up with a kink in my back. I did a quick Google search for a massage therapist near where I was staying and she was the first one to pop up on my list. I contacted her and she had me in her office in just a couple of hours. I knew the minute she laid her hands on me that I was in for a treat. It was one of the best massages I've ever received. She is very kind and considerate and has a calming energy about her. She has healing hands for sure! read more

‍ Best Massage in The Loop! ‍ Highly recommend for muscle recovery! Super Stress-relieving! read more

If you live in or are visiting Chicago a massage by Adele is a MUST. I went to see her in April when I was in town for a trade show. Stress, travel, and exhaustion meant pain in my entire back, neck, and legs. I was suffering. Adele scheduled my appointment at a time that was convenient for my super packed schedule and was super patient as I got held up due to traffic and rain. When I arrived, she was so attentive. She helped me to find the restroom and when I joined her in her office I was astounded by her generosity as she gave me a chocolate bar and water! Exactly what I needed. We sat and talked about what was happening not only in my body but also my mind. I felt held by Adele and she hadn't even massaged me yet! The massage was nothing short of wonderful. Adele made sure she took her time to touch on my trouble areas. The room she uses for massage is lovely and calming and I was truly able to escape for 90 minutes. Will DEFINITELY be going to see her again! read more

What I appreciate about Adele is that she doesn't simply go through the motions of a massage. She doesn't follow a strict pattern in which all parts of the body "must" get equal attention. She customizes the massage according to your needs. She finds that area that most bothers you. Then she continues to focus on that area until she has made progress. For me, it was my upper back, shoulders and neck. She asked me what most bothered me and that is what I told her. During the massage I could feel her seeking out those knots, finding them, then attacking them with a powerful force- THANK YOU! She would go to other parts of my body, but kept returning to those trouble areas to keep working out the knots. A visit with Adele isn't like a visit to a spa. It is different. You won't get a fluffy robe or sit in the lounge area with other clients, sipping your cucumber water. Yet the ambiance is comfortable in her cozy office space - the lighting was nice and dim, music was relaxing and refreshments were offered. Adele's priority is focusing on the pent-up stress in your body and then eliminating it. She is someone I would feel confident going to monthly because I know she will remember me, she will care about my well being and she will make it her ulimate priority that I leave her in a better physical and mental state than what I came in with. In fact, both my husband and I went to her for the first time last weekend. I set up the appointment knowing that my husband, an active athlete who used to go to a massage therapist regularly and who is no stranger to massages, would have high expectations. He went in first for the massage. I returned an hour later, just as Adele was finishing up. It was then I heard him snoring. The massage was so relaxing, it put him to sleep at the end! When she finished and he woke up, the first thing he said to me was, "She is really good!" He will be going to Adele monthly for massages, and I look forward to my next visit, as well. Thank you, Adele!! read more

I was here in Chicago on business and I just really had a rough day. But because I had to work an event until very late, I didn't have a chance to get anything done during the usual hours. So I found this place on Yelp and I am so glad that I did. These are the types of instances where are without Yelp I would not even have a way to find a late night massage therapist. Adele embodies everything about premium hospitality. I felt like I was so welcome and I felt as though Adele was so gracious to me as a customer. She offered me some lovely chocolate and water and an apple. The massage itself was amazing and so relaxing. I especially loved kind of the offbeat type of location because it was just a simple massage studio in a building with other types of businesses. It made me feel like I was in somebody's home or even my own home. When you've been traveling for business and you don't get to do the usual hours that everybody else does the fact that Adele was able to accommodate me around 10:15 p.m. on a Monday was truly something that was exceptional. I feel as though so many places have such set hours that don't accommodate people who work odd hours or people who work long hours. But Adele would be the answer for you. I especially liked how she asked what I like to have done. I mentioned that I like a lot of focus on my legs because most massage therapists that I go to spend 75% of their time on my back and then 25% of their time and everything else. She did the front and back of my legs which a lot of therapists don't do because they usually just do the back of the leg. I also loved the scalp and face massage at the end. That really reduced tension and I really felt great afterwards. Thank you so much again for the wonderful hospitality during my visit to Chicago and thank you so much for the wonderful massage. read more

Best experience ever for a vacation massage in Chicago she's the best in business and the prices are a little pricey but it's worth it because end of the day you're going to forget about the price and end up filling excellent like brand new :) read more

Pleasant, Professional and Punctual. Adele provided a very relaxing, therapeutic Swedish massage. She provides mobile massage services, a much appreciated service for a weary traveler. I highly recommend Adele Vydra Message Therapy. read more

Amused by her that I decided to write a review. As I read some people comment said that her massage is not worth it, or it just going back and forth back and forth without any technique, after I tried it myself, I doubted that those were true. She specialize in stress-release massage. So, this is how she works: The place was small, yet comfortable. Dim, clean, smells good and cozy. She did not rush me, instead sat me down and have a chat. Then she will explain the procedure, technique, some advices and prices. The massage itself went slow but sure. She asked couple question to make sure that the massage going on the right track. After the whole thing is done, she will give you some water and snack. Then she talk with you again, making sure that your stress before really has calmed down. So, worth to try! read more

Another wonderful massage!!! My shoulders had been extremely tense for the past couple of weeks resulting in headaches almost every night. Today, I finally reached out to Adele for an emergency massage and she, as always, was very accommodating. I left the massage feeling completely relaxed and stress-free!! She truly cares for her clients' mental and physical well being and always makes sure that you are feeling calm and centered before she sends you off. Adele is one of a kind and I would highly recommend her to everyone!!! read more

Great location and amazing atmosphere. Adele really helped me with my neck and back aches and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is working in the Loop. read more

Absolutely amazing experience. Adele was very receptive to feedback and made sure that I was as relaxed as possible. Looking forward to going back soon. read more

WOW! These reviews do not lie, Adele is fabulous! I was in town for business and had severe TMJ symptoms which was also causing headaches. Desperate for relief before the next days client meetings, I took to yelp and found Adele. We connected via text within minutes and she made time for me at 8pm that evening. The location is within a large office building where majority of the suites are doctors. This is not the typical spa experience since the business is only Adele, nonetheless, I found it very relaxing and perfect. When I arrived, she kindly provided me water bottles as we discussed my needs in the entrance room with comfy chairs before moving into the massage room with a great ambiance and calming music. She is an expert in stress management and has a very calming presence. After spoke for about 10 minutes, we began the full body massage with a focus on my needs. We communicated throughout the massage and she gave me more time than was scheduled at no extra cost to ensure that I was feeling better. It was one of the best massages I've ever had, especially to relieve pain. I felt relief and relaxation after the massage and she sent me on my way with two chocolate bars, fruit and more water. The next day, I am still feeling the relief. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend her! read more

Adele provided excellent service at an affordable rate. She was attentive to trouble spots and was able to modify her strategy upon encountering different stress points. She was also flexible with scheduling and was able to fit me in on very short notice. Adele us my new go-to therapist whenever I am in Chicago. I recommend the 90 minute massage. It's well worth the time. read more

Adele is a skilled therapist who adjusts the pressure as needed and desired to ensure the client leaves feeling as loose & refreshed as possible. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for individualized treatment. read more

Well worth it. A beautiful person with a beautiful soul shared her gift of massage to me. As I left, I wept... these were tears of joy. The universe is a better place. Go here. Enjoy. read more

Adele is setting a standard. It's just her and she's the owner. In message therapy, the harder a therapist works and the more thorough and detail oriented is really a direct function of the quality. She is exhaustive in her efforts to give you a massage to remember and her techique is that of a seasoned pro. Great price too! Like I said, she's setting a standard. read more

Adele is a miracle worker! She's not only genuine and caring about her clients but her technique is on point. Her office is cozy and comfortable and she makes you feel at ease. She's communicative about her techniques and managed to cure me of a terrible 6hr migraine. Don't doubt yourself, make an appointment and feel like a million bucks!!! read more

Her massage truly rejuvenate and relaxing. I called last min for a massage without any expectations. She is gifted with her ways of getting to the stress points and flowing movements. Especially enjoy the head massage in the end that pulls all the tension away. The noise from the city is a little loud but you forget it quickly. read more

Visiting Chicago for the day from NYC. Originally we were going to go to the hotel spa but read the reviews and really needed an experienced masseuse to work out the knots. Glad we found her because she gave us a thorough deep tissue massage and listened to what was bothering us. Adele is a one woman shop who only offers massage services but knows her trade. If you don't need the total spa experience and just want a good deep tissue massage this is the place for you. We went at night and after we were so relaxed, slept for ten hours straight. Mission accomplished! read more

Adele is a phenomenal artist, yes artist the love,care and passion she pours into her craft transcends into an experience of pure health. From the moment I contacted her to the moment I left my appointment was delightful. Thank you, thank you Adele, I am grateful for you! read more

Adele does a great job and really focused on what I needed. I was in town for a few days and get me in at a time that was convenient for me. My experience was quite different than what a somewhat negative Yelp review gave in that I found Adele to be able to reach the deep muscles and work out some pretty bad knots. I don't think she has any problems with using enough pressure. She's a sole practitioner and her place is comfortable but is not like a salon. This is fine by me because I go for the massage and not the frills and product sales. I highly recommend Adele and I think she is dedicated enough to meet most any appointment time if at all possible. read more
