He knows exactly where you need more focus and exactly how much pressure to apply. He always takes the time to listen to your concerns beforehand and makes sure to address every single one of them. I sometimes have to visit other massage therapists when I am traveling out of town, and I am always disappointed because no one else even comes close to how good Vince is. It is always a relief to get back to Skokie and have a proper session with him. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Vince. There is no way you will regret it.

I immediately went on Yelp to book a massage, but for most places in the area, you had to call in to schedule an appointment. I found Empyrean and the online booking system was so easy! The new client price was very affordable, and after a few clicks, I booked a chair massage for Monday. I had never gotten a chair massage before, but it was exactly what I needed. William focused on the area around my neck and I felt so much better afterwards. The pressure was perfect, and he was so calm and friendly. I am looking forward to booking another massage soon!

He's also helped my husband and often offers great massage bundle prices. Plus he's super friendly and funny. Contact him; you'll be glad you did.

I really wanted to like this place especially since all the previous reviews had 5 stars…read more I called to book a foot massage for me and my daughter The woman who answered was nice enough. But was very difficult to understand. I can definitely be OK with heavy accents and other languages. That's not what bothered me at all. When we got there, five minutes before our appointment, there was a miscommunication, and she thought we were getting full body massages. Again, it was challenging to communicate, but we finally both understood. Our massages were run-of-the-mill. Nothing exciting or even fantastic. And at $60 for 30 minutes, I expected a ton more. I've had way way way better foot massages for much less $$ The place is small and a bit run down Parking may be an issue during high volume time as they share a space with other businesses. I won't be back but if you are looking for something close by and don't mind the costs they can be a decent option

He is able to read your body after a few massages and then tailors them individually based on injuries, pain, inflammation. He also is amazing with working on stretching and healing.

John-Michael has been my go-to therapist for over 8 years. Each session opens with a query about…read moreany specific needs, however, John-Michael has the intuitive gift to 'read' my body and know what is needed. I have followed him through a variety of locations as his practice has grown, but every facility has always had a very peaceful and serene design. I can feel the stress beginning to drain as soon as I am in the environment. Shame on me, but I don't indulge as often as I should (and for me with a bad back, massage should really be viewed as therapy and treatment as opposed to a luxury or indulgence). The various packages and incentives that are offered (and do change from time to time) really do make sense and are worth investigating. I have to drive to the office, so parking can sometimes be a bit dicey and I have not been that lucky about snagging same-day appointments. Also, after the initial assessment, John-Michael does tend to be silent, however for me, that is a plus, as it frees me from the burden of making small talk and lefts me drift away and enjoy. If you are in need of a theraputic or simply a relaxing massage, I recommend a visit to John-Michael.

I wanted to do a review for John-Michael ages ago. But I had not been to him in years. You see,…read morewhen I first met JMK, we were working at a certain coffee shop of international fame together. He was my first. First professional massage ever. This was in the early 90's. And I was hooked. I don't know why massage is considered a luxury in this county, cause it makes me feel a hell of a lot better than a trip to the doctor. And I tend to feel that massage is a lot more helpful for minor aches and pains than anything a doctor does. Anyway, he was amazing 20 years ago. We feel out of touch. Years slide by....and then, FB brought us back together again! And you know what? He's only gotten better. And I still fall asleep on his table. He had trouble waking me up. So yeah, your mileage may vary, but for me, he is pretty much The Man. I just need to find myself some insurance that covers massages. I feel like Saturday morning massages, followed by brunch somewhere in Andersonville needs to start being a thing for me.
