Originally I found this place off a Groupon deal and it happened to be by my hospital. Prenatal…read moremassage sounded like a good idea to me and my doctor said there wasn't wrong with getting a massage while you are pregnant as long as they specialize in prenatal massage. I am hooked on this place! The building itself is like a shared apartment so very easy to overlook and is 2 minutes from Hecky's (mmmmm ribs). So it's not quite in the hub bub of downtown Evanston so parking isn't much of an issue. The massage therapist does everything to make it quite a homey and comfy, from the type of oil she uses, to her table that has a warming feature. Jennifer Schweizer is awesome (only because I can't think of a better word to explain how good she is at what she does)! I like to get my money's worth in a massage so I'm more of a deep tissue work type girl anyway, but as a professional she asks about pressure and what part ails you. She not only releases a lot of tension, but she even gave me recommendations on exercises to try to avoid buildup in those areas. I visited her every month since my first trimester. She has 3 visit deals that are so worth it and with all the aches and pains that come with growing a human inside you....it really a great way to treat yourself!

My first review --…read more After several months of suffering with an area of skin sensitivity near my shoulder blade, I made an appointment with Alex Dold. It was kind of a strange problem, because there was no rash or redness, and the area didn't itch. There was just a patch of skin that was extremely sensitive to touch. If I wore anything that was too tight in that area, like a sports bra, it was actually painful. The only thing that helped was putting a bandage on the area. After hearing the description of my symptoms, Alex decided to address the problem with both acupuncture and herbs. Amazingly, several days after the first treatment, the sensitivity was completely gone. I was thrilled. I continued to take the herbs twice a day. After a couple of weeks, the sensitive patch returned. I went back for a follow-up treatment with Alex, and then decided I should do a few more. It's now been a couple of months with no recurrence of the sensitive patch. I am so thankful that my skin feels normal again. My second review-- I had flown to California for a long weekend with friends. On the day before we were to fly home, I didn't feel well. I had a sore throat and just felt exhausted. On the flight home, I became overheated and dizzy. I even had to be transported to baggage claim in a wheelchair. I spent the next day in bed, and then developed a cough. For the next couple of days, I felt miserable and had trouble sleeping at night because I was coughing constantly. At my morning appointment, Alex first treated me with acupuncture, and then mixed up some herbs with instructions to take them 3 times per day. I was able them 3 times that day, and again the next day. By that second day, my cough was totally gone. I couldn't believe it happened that fast! I continued taking the herbs anyway. I went back the following week for another appointment, and told Alex that he was a miracle worker.

I got the sense that if you make an appointment with their dr Lisa, they'll be more thorough and even explain things and give dietary advice (no fried, spicy, inflammatory foods). She was out for the holidays though so I couldn't make an appointment to see her. I do think many of the herbs can be purchased elsewhere; some for cheaper, some not. Also, just a heads up - when I opened the Bravo Tea teabags they recommended that I bought, they were so tiny - it seemed like with hardly any herb in them - but measured out, it is a bit less than a full teaspoon, which is about what many herbalists recommend for most herbs.

I'm a Believer! Meghan Schmit is a very talented healer. I…read morewas seeing a conventional podiatrist about a bone spur in my heel that caused debilitating pain. My doctor wanted me to get an expensive MRI as a likely prelude to surgery. But I had heard about some great work that Meghan has done and thought that maybe I should investigate her approach before I start down the more conventional path of Western medicine. That was a very, very good decision on my part. I met with Meghan about 10 times over eight weeks for acupuncture on my heel and leg. Each session usually lasted about 45-55 minutes. In that time, Meghan got me back on my feet, pain-free and so much more. Not only did she effectively address the pain but she also prescribed a daily routine of specific stretches to help me get to the root of what caused the spur in the first place. And while we were at it, because I had mentioned feeling congested from allergies, she concocted an herbal tea recipe that completely cleared that up as well. Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been around for over 3,000 years. So I probably shouldn't have been surprised that it was so effective. What did NOT surprise me though was how thoughtful and careful and creative Meghan Schmit was in diagnosing my situation and expertly delivering the appropriate remedies. That was exactly what I was told to expect and she delivered the goods. Meghan takes her profession very seriously. And she is very, very good at it. I only wish there was a rating higher than five stars. --PH (63 y.o. male)
