She made sure to communicate well before and after so that I could enjoy the experience of healing in zen mode. Maybe I talked a bit too much... The room has a peaceful setting with a comfy self-heating massage bed. All went well, and I could feel the relief in my muscles well. Highly recommended.

Margaret is amazing! Definitely go to Red Leaf Wellness for a massage. I went there this weekend,…read moreand what I truly loved was that Margaret listened to me. She asked questions about where & how I was feeling stress and pressure and based the session around that. She focused on areas where I said I was having the most trouble and found some great pressure points along the way. It was a fantastic and relaxing hour. I loved it! Margaret took the time to talk to me, and I feel I learned a lot about my body and what I can do between massages to stay healthy. In that way, it was wholistic and focused on whole body wellness. Also, Margaret just seems like such a great person. You'll love her!

Lawata Brown is my go-to Massage Therapist. She is fantastic and I would definitely recommend her…read more I met Lawata last year after purchasing a Lifebooker Loot massage package. It was easy to set up an appointment. I prefer email and that's how we scheduled our first meeting. I've seen her many times since then. Lawata's space at the Healing Room is conveniently located in River West with street parking either in front of the studio or around the block. I've gone to see her on different days at various times and I've never had an issue finding a spot. Her space is very clean, quiet and calming. I like the sound machine that she uses in the massage room as I find it to be relaxing. Some people may not like it, but I'm a fan. Lawata is very engaging and passionate about her career and is educated on various massage techniques. When meeting and interacting with her, you can also tell that she leads a very healthy lifestyle. Throughout my massages, Lawata asks the right questions and applies the right amount of pressure as needed. If I have any trouble spots, she focuses on those to ensure that everything is worked out. She also makes sure that I am comfortable at all times. I have often fallen asleep on the massage table because I am completely relaxed. When I get up, I always feel more energized. She's great! Please Note: This is my first review. I often use Yelp and other reviews to get information regarding different businesses before frequenting them. Before purchasing my LIfebooker Loot, I researched Lawata and found this link that describes her services: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbpsDAwbhEw

Although my wife was a certified massage therapist, carpal tunnel put an end to my "free" massages…read more My wife regularly sees a Chiropractor at the same office Tayonon works at. When it comes to massages, my wife uses her knowledge to determine how well someone is. It was definitely positive, considering she's had massages several times now. The glowing praises she gave Tayonon, and considering I haven't had one in years, my wife set up an appointment. I was pleasantly surprised at her knowledge, her objectives, and her care for my satisfaction. I have say she is by far one of the best I've ever been too. And I have to agree with my wife, a 60 minute massage is not enough. The 90 minute one seemed to fly by at times. I was relaxed so well that I nearly nodded off several times, but held back so I could enjoy it more. She's one of those you really have to try to understand how good it is. I'll definitely be back.

A lot of massages I have had are hit or miss by appointment with the same masseuse, but not Tayonon. I have had her do a full body relaxation appointments and some appointments have been to help with pain I was feeling in a certain area. In every massage I felt relaxed and better by the end. I typically e-mail her to book my appointments and she responds very quickly. Overall, she is a joy and am I happy to have found her.

Grateful to have found Shanata. Living in the area, I wanted to find a massage spot close to home…read more Stumbling upon Shanata's website and learning her story I knew this was the spot. Shanata greeted me with kindness and her warm presence, asked how I was feeling and what I wanted to achieve during my integrated massage and created a custom blend of oils to help with whatever emotions I was dealing with. It has been massage unlike I've had before, but I have become a regular and look forward to the mind, body and soul work that the integrated massage provides. After each session my mind feels calmer/freer and I have a lot less tension overall. Shanata is truly a beautiful soul and is passionate about her work and helping her clients. Book a session - it's worth the wait if you have to book far out to accommodate your schedule.

She had wonderful aromatherapy options, she let me smell and chose what my body was feeling that day. I have a couple of sport-related injuries she really worked into. She was super receptive when I needed a change in pressure. Her tenure is very apparent in her profession, as she addressed every ache and pain. Although working on my injuries wasn't as pleasant, the massage was amazing. I almost fell asleep at the end. Usually, massages end abruptly almost, but this one was absolutely perfect. I left feeling grounded and invigorated. I will definitely become a new client!

This is an older office building on busy North Ave., but Bobbie keeps her space clean and cozy so it works out for me just fine. I don't consistently get massages due to my work schedule and family obligations, but Bobbie is one of the best I have had! Her approaches are intuitive when it comes to problem areas. Her hot stone massages are fantastic, even for hot summer months. She also does facials and I did enjoy the vitamin C facial when I booked for the massage+facial combo in the past. Bobbie is also super friendly and personable. In addition, her prices are affordable for the quality of service I get. Good thing is that I don't live awfully too far and I get her availability emails and occasionally she has promotions and specials. With that said, booking on her website has never been a problem. I definitely recommend Bobbie and treat yourself for some relaxation in the city. You can thank me later.
