Hello all! Advice from another LMT----Evelin is definitely a GREAT and knowledgeable therapist who truly cares about her clients! She's always on the look-out for new modalities and knows what she's doing! You're greeted with a beautiful smile and healing energy! One of my pet-peeves ---many therapists don't consult - unprofessional and unwise! Evelin consults prior to each session! Massage is paramedical and it's important to determine any contrainindications. This is a must! You're literally in good hands with Evelin! read more

Evelin is fantastic at what she does. When you first arrive, she takes the time to discuss your needs and understand how to best treat you. After the session, she asks for your feedback and actively seeks to know what she can do to improve her practice. This is just one of the things that sets her apart. She takes immense pride in what she does and cares deeply for the people she treats. This passion for her practice elevates her treatment and sets her apart amongst massage therapists. Whenever I have had issues come up with availability, she has been understanding and accommodating. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would encourage you to reach out to her for an incredible massage experience. read more

She is so great welcoming and funny. My hour was very relaxing and hours later I'm still very relaxed. Definitely will make another appointment with this gentle giant read more

Evelin has given me two of the best massages I have ever had, and I have had many. She uses a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, and other techniques as appropriate for my needs. Evelin is incredibly strong but also gentle. She uses medical precision in pinpointing and working out my problem areas. I look forward to visiting her as much as the massage itself. I highly recommend Gentle Giant Massage! read more

I went to get a massage from her about a year ago! I booked a hour massage from Groupon and it was the biggest waste of money ever! The worst experience and the creepiest. She wouldn't stop talking and I felt uncomfortable the whole entire time! She made me answer three questions to get to know me but they were the weirdest questions. She touched my butt and wiggled it around while giggling. I would never go back. If you are a young-ish girl I wouldn't recommend coming here. I felt scared and just so uncomfortable. I asked for a relaxing massage on my neck, shoulders and low back and got the complete opposite. She gave me DEEP tissue massage which was not what I wanted at all. Even after I told her I didn't want that she still continued, it was very painful. Not a relaxing massage or place to go to. read more

Very nice massage. Relaxed atmosphere, spent a few minutes assessing any specific needs and then jumped right into a very relaxing massage. Felt great after and always like supporting a home business! Will be back. read more

Eveline is gifted at healing. She has the magic touch. My whole family loves her. My husband and I, the children, Grandma and Grand aunt have had sessions with her and look forward to seeing her whenever we can. It is a special treat to have Eveline over to take care of the whole family. We have had massages at various very nice high end SPAs, and have never gotten such a therapeutic massage as the one we get from Eveline. She's very strong yet very gentle. She listens carefully and attends to the problem areas. She has a keen understanding of anatomy. read more

I rarely leave reviews because I feel that different people interact differently with each other. However, I've gotten massages from Evelyn and it was always professional and left me feeling physically better than when I started. The first time we chatted, so that she could determine if there were any special requirements or pre-existing conditions which she would need to take into consideration. I did not feel that she was being intrusive, but being professional. After the chat, she gave me a wonderful massage which was tailored to me and not to everyone. I appreciated that. Bottom line, I read some of the reviews and think they are way off base. She is good at what she does and if you want someone to massage you well, give her a try. read more

Wow I wish there were more stars. I went to Ms. Evelyn for a massage for lower back pain. It was close to home so I wanted to take a chance. So impressed with the whole set up, working out of her home and such a comfortable feeling. Very relaxing, one on one, and not lots of hustle and bustle with other people waiting and talking. Kudos to Ms. Evelyn for helping my back pain, location and great atmosphere. So convenient, my pain in my back seems to be subsiding and the price is right. Definitely will be going back. Its a great feeling to help local businesses!!! Thank you Ms. Evelyn read more

Evelin has wonderful hands & a personality that meshes so well with her occupation... I walked out of my 1 hour session so relaxed & as if I was floating on a cloud... I just wish I could see her more often, though prices were very reasonable, for now I am at monthly visits ... She put me at ease & asked for my input on the music, relaxing, zen & clean environment, I highly recommend her services... She has such a positive energy. read more

My husband was experiencing back pain and discomfort for over a week and in my attempt to help him released some pain I decided to YELP for a message therapist. Luckily I ran into Gentle Giant Massage booked an appointment and Evelin took us in one day after. Right from the start Evelin was very welcoming, my husband said she was able to find every spot in his back that was causing him pain. He had the deep tissue massage and he immediately felt 100% better as we left the appointment. Evelin is great and we gonna make sure to come see her once a month. Thanks Evelin you are the best!!! read more

I don't even have words to express what I just experienced. Please do not go here!!! I was actually afraid for my life as she sat on the floor and hugged my ankle for about 5 minutes. I asked if she was going to begin the massage and she said "no!" This is definitely someone that needs to be investigated. Something is not right about her. DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Evelin was recommended to me by my chiropractor. He told me, "your going to love her", and boy he wasn't kidding. I deal with AutoImmune disease and the many aches and pains it brings. I need a gentle touch but Evelin scoped me out with her knowledge and gifted intuition and knew just how to treat me. She is extremely knowledgeable about many modalities of massage therapy and will customize your treatment. Her expertise is coupled with a genuine caring desire to learn about your issues and help you. To me this combination makes her stand out above other therapists. She really is a healer. As a final note her prices are VERY reasonable. read more

I thought I was the only one who felt the whole place and experience was just "off". I cannot even tell you how many times during my 90 minutes that I thought to myself, "Is this woman even licensed??" It was a VERY VERY uncomfortable setting. I'm not one to chit-chat during a massage. I'm a mom - I'm here to RELAX. The last time I had a massage was OVER a year ago - can you please just rub my shoulders and STOP TALKING? I don't care about your 3 questions or who on the WGN news panel is aggressive or assertive or what the f their personalities are like or why I think I was hired for my job. WHAT?!? I'm not here to THINK but now my mind is on overdrive because of the weird constant conversation. I wasn't sure if I should keep my eyes open because of the bizarre conversations that she INSISTED on having or because I needed to be aware of my surroundings. I'm all for supporting a home business and that's not it, but the "waiting room" was the living room which you had to change out in the open. Followed by a few curtains and the massage table in the living room followed by a restroom off of the kitchen. It was just WEIRD. The whole thing was WEIRD and there was nothing relaxing or comforting about any of it. She asked if I needed to use the restroom and I indicated that I had and she made a comment about "...oh you Americans are all the same with using the washroom before..." Um....okay? Save your $42 for another Groupon and perhaps try someone else. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Evelin's the best; I love the way she works - very intuitive and finds all the right knots in your body. And she can go deep if you need it; yet in a peaceful pace so that you still feel relaxed. Since I am a therapist myself, I can appreciate the excellent work she does. And so reasonably priced! I'll go to her every single time when I'm in Chicago. read more

Evelyn did a great job for me. I can't recommend her enough! She's professional and her work area is clean and welcoming. I have a shoulder injury and she really did what I needed and really helped to ease my pain. Again, I can't recommend her enough! She's also an extremely nice person and really fun to talk to so that's a plus too! Thanks Evelyn! read more

I have been a massage therapist since the early 90's and I've received my fair share of pretty amazing massages (and some not so great) and I must say this really was one of the best. It started with a brief conversation covering pertinent health history, likes/dislikes and expectations. Eveline used just enough pressure to be very effective without it being painful. I felt wonderful after the massage, albeit a little slow moving. Additionally, she has such a beautiful and relaxing space that not only was it welcoming, but easy to be in after the massage-much better than the busy, noisy salon. Bottom line, I would totally recommend and I will definitely be back! read more

Evelyn was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She took the time to ask about problem areas and which muscles needed the most work. She gives a great massage and also stretched our muscles. I will definitely be going back read more

I had a very unsettling experience with this woman. I went to her because she had great reviews, but my experience was awful. It actually ended in me running out of her house. I felt rather uncomfortable from the moment I came in because rather than beginning the massage (should have been 90 minutes swedish massage), she spent about 20 minutes just chit chatting with me. When she finally began the massage, rather than working on my very tense shoulders as I requested multiple times, she simply lightly stroked and rotated my leg for about 40 minutes. She was very insistent that I trust her to the point of making me really uncomfortable. She actually "said " she was going to begin the massage about an hr into my time, but then she began making such strange statements that I ended the session and left. Comments included: "what if I bought you a month's worth of thai food?" "I'm going to be a bloody princess for halloween... my cute little friend is going to be the wolf" and "you're going to go bye bye (meaning sleep)". At that last comment, my heart started beating so fast- i followed my gut and got out of there. She then texted me "nice to meet you" after I fled from her home a half hour before my session ended and got no massage. Not sure what was going on with her, maybe she was planning to harm me, maybe she was just socially weird or a little off, but I felt super uncomfortable and did not get my money's worth at all. Not sure where these 5 star reviews are coming from, but my experience was horrible. read more

Everything was wonderful with my massage. The owner, Evelin really took her time understanding what my aches and pains were and has really helped me. I am hunched over a computer all day long so my back is constantly in knots and my wrists have a tendency to go numb. After I go for a massage I always feel 100 times better. I can't recommend Evelin highly enough. read more
