I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I had a few life changing sessions with Ardath after dealing with over a year of pain from herniated discs after a car accident. I've done so much to try to help this chronic pain and honestly have been feeling hopeless. Three sessions with Ardath gave me hope that I can heal and return to all the activities I love again. She is an incredibly intuitive and gifted healer. I was able to release so much during her sessions and now feel so much lighter and filled with hope for the first time in months. I only wish I lived closer so I could see her all the time! I've recommended her to all my close friends and family in the area. Thank you, Ardath! read more

Ardath is a top tier healer and a complete gem of a person. When I came to her, I had spent thousands of dollars on physical therapy and my condition only got worse. I had nerve pain and burning down my whole leg, hips that have long been out of alignment, and had never gotten the postpartum support I needed to fully heal after labor. It took commitment to her slower, deeper methodologies of bodywork and healing, but after only a few months literally EVERYTHING felt better. The nerve pain has COMPLETELY gone away at a point when I was loosing all hope. I have started exercising again and I feel like I have my life back! I have recommended her to anyone who will listen. She will change your life. There are really not many out there who are true healers. Do yourself a favor and invest in her services now, before you spend your money on medical services that provide support directed at symptoms rather than treating the root cause. read more

Ardath is a master at her craft! Her extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and how everything works together, along with her endless creativity how to use various healing disciplines, means she will find a way to fix whatever ails you. She's a great listener and detective in finding ways to fix basically any problem! Highly recommend her services!! read more

I have seen Ardath on and off for many years. Today I had a Reiki/Craniosacral session. It was fabulous! I felt so clam and relaxed after my session. About 20-30 minutes afterwards, I was completely energized and in the best mood ever! I will definintely continue to see Ardath! I highly recommend her! read more

Ardath is great! She is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about Reiki. I have been in physical pain due to car accidents, 2 births, and other traumas, and I have tried massage and chiropractic and medical marijuana which have all helped but Reiki has been more effective I think than all of them. I have been through much depression due to these traumas, but the Reiki is so powerful, that I feel I have more hope and gratitude for how my body feels than I have in 23 years!!! My energy level is higher too which is an added blessing!! Thanks Ardath!!! read more

I am going through some challenging experiences currently and knew I needed to get more grounded. I am grateful that I found Ardath. I actually hesitated to write a review because I want to keep her to myself! She is a truly gifted practitioner. I found her through a Yelp search for cranial-sacral therapists. I was a little wary as I have had both good and bad experiences with people I've found on Yelp. Ardath's work definitely falls into the "good experiences". I have seen Ardath for six sessions now, and after each session I feel better emotionally as well as physically. Ardath is so kind, talented and genuine. She truly cares for her clients and I can't see going to anyone else. Parking is easy near her studio, her studio is warm and homey, and Ardath is amazing. See her and you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been working with Ardath for 5+ years, and I can say hands down that she has a true gift for healing. She is someone who can intuitively understand what your body is saying, and knows just what to do to help it heal. She looks past just what is ailing you to find the deeper issue- and then gently addresses it. She's always looking for new strategies and techniques- she listens to what you need and knows how to use Cranio Sacral techniques, Myofascial release or other functional bodywork to get the results you need. She's a true gem in Evanston- if you have any doubt, please go and see her! You won't regret it. read more

Ardath is such a master healer. I've gone for Reiki treatments many times over the past 6 years and each time her skills amaze me. This time was a hip problem after surgery which was painful and limiting my mobility. After two treatments I'm feeling completely pain free. Always kinda shocks me how powerful the work is given how subtle it feels when she's working. Thanks, Ardath! read more

On January 2012, I was commuting to work early in the morning and heard about Reiki on the radio. I immediately become very interested in it. During the segment one of the announcers was explaining how it was a very good way to "balance" yourself and to get rid of any negative or stagnant energies we hold in our bodies. She was very excited and sure energy healing was extremely beneficial. At the same time, however, the other announcers were very confused as to what Reiki really entailed and how it worked. None the less, I thought to myself... "Well if I do have any negative, imbalance, or stagnant energy within me, and if someone can help me balance or get rid of it... WHY NOT?!" That was my introduction to Reiki in this lifetime. I was very fortunate to have found a wonderful intuitive Reiki Master and scheduled my first Reiki Session. One week after that first session the Divine encounter with Reiki Master/Teacher, Ardath Berliant, was perfectly aligned in my life. Since then my life has really been even more beautiful, filled all so many synchronicity, and miracles after miracles. Ardath is an amazing Reiki Master/Teacher. I often call her my "Reiki Mother". She continues to support this vertical path I am on. Ardath is a beautiful, intelligent, highly intuitive, and wonderful teacher/healer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ARDATH! I am so blessed to be on this Divine path with her. read more

A ok surly pure bliss- deep, warm, tr sfirnarionsl, healing, loving and simply amazing is all I can say. One of the best massages I've ever had and the reiki was life changing. This woman is FIFTED and outs her hart and soul I tonher work. I'm from CA and was visiting in town when I stumbled across her place waking by one day and was really in need of a "good" smashed. I had previous had some pretty lousy massages by unskilled people at one of those chain message places we all know. I'll never do that against aradth was amazing. She heats up the bed, the fil. Was soft and relaxing wirh a slight hint of pace at. I felt like I was transplanted someplace else. Simply amazing is all I can say. read more

I carry a lot of tension in my muscles and need frequent massages. I'm so glad I listened to the previous yelp reviews and found Ardath. I've been seeing her regularly for over a year and she has been so important to my health. I feel healed every time I leave her. Her massage studio is charming and comfortable and she is so warm and friendly. read more

You won't be disappointed. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Reiki! Ar; Thanks again for a great experience! read more

You have to try it yourself to know how good is her Aroma massage. Truly healing and surely Aromatic !!!

I can't say enough good things about Ardath! Her massage work is far superior than any I have experienced in Chicagoland! I will never consider going anywhere else. Ardath is sensitive to her clients needs and will do her best to work out those knots!! Believe me she can do it. Her reiki service is also amazing and the most healing experience one can imagine. No need to go to the overpriced spas for body work. Go see Ardath!!! read more

Ardath is an incredible massage/craniosacral/reiki therapist. She is extremely sensitive and intuitive making a session with her quite magical. She can always feel the spots that need work (without asking) and knows exactly what to do to help the stress and tension melt away with ease. By the end of the session, I feel like a million bucks. I am beyond grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

Ardath has a wonderful, caring touch. But best of all, she is effective. What more can you ask for?

Ardath is a kind, loving and intuitive massage therapist Her sensitivity and gentle nature comes through in her work and she is giving of herself to help you feel better! You can't ask for much more. read more

I am a complete newbie about Reiki and similar non-traditional therapeutic methods, but Ardath came highly recommended, so I tried a session with her. All I can say is wow! I really felt like something intensely relaxing was happening, and afterwards it felt like I just finished the best massage ever. Since then I've had a few more sessions that were equally as satisfying, and she even did a "distance Reiki" with me over the phone when I was feeling too poorly to come in. I can't explain it but that session worked almost as well, and I recovered from the cold I had in about half the time it usually takes me. (Yes that could well be complete coincidence, but it made an impression on me anyway.) read more

First time client and I think the best words to describe my session was extremely relaxed. I did feel tingles of energy in my feet and hands...very subtle but I felt it for sure... but I couldn't stop yawning afterwards to save my life! I was soooo sleepy! but it was good. Ardath recommends in order to get the "full" effect you have to go back consecutively 2-3 times. For a first time client I appreciated it. read more

I'm writing a second review just to say that after 2+ months of working with Ardath primarily through Reiki and Craniosacral therapies, I am experiencing profound psychological relief. I am more centered and grounded than I've been in years. I can now face stuff that used to trigger me with so much more equanimity, and I bounce back much more quickly! I'm a decades-long therapy veteran and nothing has helped me as much as simply lying on Ardath's table. Thank you Ardath - you're a gift! read more

I surprised my boyfriend with a reike session with Ardath. I had an instant feeling of warmth and peace the moment we walked into her home. I almost felt like I had known Ardath and was very comfortable being around her. She just didn't feel like a stranger to me. Anyway, I left and hung at the Starbucks during my BF's session; there's not a whole lot of room to chill and that was no problem because Starbucks was literally 5 seconds away. To sum up, my BF's reike session was, as he stated, "not a big deal". Ugh. I was disappointed in my BF. He wasn't open to it and I felt he didn't get everything out of it because he had a wall up. So I decided I'd make an appt for myself. I went fully prepared to take it all in. Whatever a reike session gives I was going to receive it. And it was amazing!!!! I left feeling peaceful and energized. I was in a completely relaxed state of mind during the session. It's hard for me to explain; you just have to experience it and be open. I've gone back one more time and will continue to go back. Reike with Ardath has begun spinning a web of peace and positivity in my life and soul. read more

REIKI BY ARDATH IS AMAZING! As a true believer in the complementary benefits of combining traditional, Western medicine with less mainstream Eastern and spiritual healing practices, I've had tremendous success resolving all kinds of physical and emotional issues using massage, reflexology, acupuncture, chiropractic and homeopathy. I'd had a little energy work done years ago by a massage therapist, and had forgotten about it until I met Ardath a few months ago. I've since had three incredible treatments with her, the first of which left me so relaxed I felt like I was part of the table. Each successive treatment has brought similar results, and has provided relief for muscle aches, anxiety, stress, nausea, knee and back pain . . . whatever I throw at her, she fixes. Even from across the room. Her space is inviting and calming. Her voice and touch are soothing. And the warmth of her hands reflects their healing energy. Try it! You'll love it! read more

I went to see Ardath about 4 weeks after I had injured my back. In the meantime, I had seen my internist and had been referred for physical therapy. I was very faithful doing the daily PT exercises, but they didn't seem to be helping. Eventually, my sister recommended Ardath and by the time I made an appointment, my right hip and knee were also hurting! I had 3 Reiki treatments within a week -- after which about 95% of the pain was gone! I didn't need to use the muscle relaxers or the pain medication which my doctor had prescribed. I must admit that I don't really understand exactly how Reiki affects the healing process. But from my perspective, the results have been remarkable. read more

I have been lucky to have been receiving Reili treatments by Ardath for many years. As many, I was sceptical of Reiki even after trying it with other practictioners before I met Ardath, but I decided to give Ardath a try. I have never regretted it since. The threapeutic benefits have been many. I highly recommend trying Reiki, keeping an open mind, and absolutely use the services of Ardath. Everyone can benefit from her sensitive healing. read more

Ardath is AMAZING! She has a true natural gift for healing. I feel so blessed to have found her. I've seen Ardath on several occasions for Reiki and I just can't get enough of her! (Truly, I can't. I'm addicted!) Her sessions always leave me feeling very relaxed, peaceful, light, happy, positive, hopeful, and better then ever! Truly, if I could afford to go everyday of my life I would. She is THAT good. For anyone out there interested in Reiki she is the one to see. Great location, great prices, and such a BEAUTIFUL person! I can't say enough about Ardath. Go experience it for yourself! read more
