As the Founder of Meticulous Massage®, she was genuinely excited to work with me, making the visit deeply personal and putting me right on cloud 9. What stood out most was her warm, intuitive approach. She is deeply attentive and METICULOUS, exactly as advertised--proving that her motto, "Precision Changes Everything," is absolutely true. This isn't just a basic massage; it's serious, thoughtful bodywork. Nedra intuitively knew exactly where I was hurting and always used the perfect, comforting pressure to melt the tension away. I left feeling completely renewed, and that beautiful sense of relief lasted for several weeks afterward. It was a deeply relaxing experience that truly changed my body. I cannot recommend her enough!

It truly was an outstanding experience getting a Brazilian lymphatic drainage body massage here. As…read morea person who spends a lot of time helping others I aways put my self love treatments in the back burner, so this was an exceptional treat. It is located right off of Michigan ave. There is public street parking available but I ended up using SpotHero as I didn't want to risk running around to find a spot. There is also valet available in the area if you're interested. I arrived at the office and everyone was so welcoming and kind. I had the privilege of working with Dania as my lymphatic drainage massage therapist and she was an absolute delight. I explained to her I've only had typical swedish and Thai massages before and she gave me a thorough explanation as to the difference and what to expect during the experience. She offered to explain the techniques during the massage if I like or if I would prefer a silent session. I love the option as I enjoy learning things related to health. Prior to the lymphatic drainage massage I used the add-on for the Cocoon Wellness Sauna Pod to prepare and relax my body and mind. It looks exactly like a space pod from a science fiction movie, but ever so calming. Laying in the pod you're exposed to infrared dry sauna heat, it looked like red light therapy, vibration massage and Himalayan salt therapy and aroma therapy. Relaxing in here put me in a calming state of zen that I'm usually unable to achieve by meditating. This was an eye opening luxurious experience as my body felt lighter as the lymph and fluid were pushed away from the area and towards my core/kidneys. I've also gained my bodily awareness as I tend to tense up my abdomen subconsciously which inhibits my ability to relax my mind, body, and vessels. This is truly a luxury experience that is experience feel special from start to finish.

I've also tried the Kobido face massage, which really helped with TMJ. I wish the buccal massage could be an add-on to the regular massage bc it is so effective at creating jaw tension release. I've also tried the other location in River North, and even though that one is closer to me, I didn't have as good of an experience with the massage therapists and opt to come to this one instead. Receptionists are always very friendly as well and I like the warm Apple cider they always have while I'm waiting. Not the fanciest spa experience but gets the job done.

Then I make an appointment for two people to get a massage for 10 am, go through a lot of trouble to walk here, and she's not here!!!! I call and she nonchalantly asks me to come at 11 like it's no big deal that she completely didn't show up. Thats really some ridiculous behavior to assume I have nothing else to do. With all the other spas in the city to choose from. Umm sorry-- you want to reschedule after we were already here, on time! What an asshole! So no, we won't be wasting any more time with you, We have plans today.. the plan was to visit you at 10 am, be done at 11 and carry on our day, I don't have time to waste my life all day walking to your business, hoping you might show up to work today. I'm really pissed off you messed up our whole schedule, not to mention waste of time walking all the way here. You are a terrible business. Wasted my time and energy!!!! Seriously horrible! One more thing... if you were going to be late, or cancel or needed to postpone to 11... BE A PROFFESSIONAL, and CALL ME before I trekked all that way out to see you... some people can't be walking blocks and blocks to experience a massage and then the masseuse doesn't show up. Terribly Bad service.

I consistently go 3 days a week so I'm able to see and feel maximum results. I am 50 years young and I've noticed a massive change in my body both physically and internally. Plus my doctor is please that I am reaping the benefits of lymphatic drainage, so it was nice to get her stamp of approval on the roll massage too. I put my health first, so this was a great addition to my wellness plan. I have nicknamed the roll massage: My Personal Trainer's Assistant, because IT IS! I have been in health maintenance now for a little over a year and this is helping me maintain my health at 50, although I still have goals to meet and this is helping me achieve those.
