Hello! I am Elizabeth, a licensed Massage Therapist living in Chicago with over 15 years of experience practicing Massage Therapy and Bodywork. Originally from the Bay Area, I graduated from National Holistic Institute in San Francisco in 2008. My coursework included more than 700 hours of training, including intensive studies in Eastern and Western Philosophies for massage therapy and health education. In addition, I have taken separate specialty courses in Prenatal/Postnatal, Trigger Point Therapy, Craniosacral, Reflexology, Stretching and Joint Mobilization, and Hot Stone Therapy.


Previously, I have helped clients in a variety of wellness and fitness settings on the West Coast and across the Chicago area. I specialize in therapeutic massage, blending deep tissue, myofascial therapy, joint mobilization, and stretching. Always in tune to the signals from my clients, I use a slow and steady approach, making relaxation and balance the goal.


My integrative approach to bodywork utilizes massage modalities specific to the needs of each client, with an emphasis on communication and paying close attention to the body’s natural cues. I love to help clients build a healthy body awareness and reach their goals, whether that be reducing pain and tension, injury rehabilitation, or coping with emotional and mental stress. I believe the body has a natural ability to heal itself when treated with compassion and care.


My areas of expertise include: Deep Tissue, Myofascial Therapy, Swedish, Trigger Point Therapy, Prenatal/Postnatal, Lymphatic Drainage, Craniosacral, Reflexology, Stretching and Joint Mobilization, Sports, Oncology, Hot Stone Therapy, Energy Work, Acupressure, Shiatsu, and Thai Massage.

I love the new space. It really creates a calm environment. Elizabeth is wonderful and really listens to your personal massage needs to tailor the session to you! Felt like a new person afterward!

Elizabeth is amazing, she has an intuitive way to always find the exact right spots that need work.

Elizabeth listens well prior to starting your session so she can tailor the massage to meet what your body needs. She also offers accompaniments if you would like something additional such as aromatherapy, cupping, CBD. Her studio space is welcoming and calming the moment you step inside. My 90 mins massage was a great way to start my day and week. Highly recommend. I will be back!

The best massage!!
by Shannon on Apr 07
Elizabeth is AMAZING! The studio is incredibly welcoming, cozy, and relaxing. I get a lot of massages and this one was one of the best I've had! She provided perfect pressure and my body feels fantastic. Elizabeth is very kind, friendly, and absolutely knows what she is doing.

Elizabeth's massage experience is top notch. She takes care ask about your concerns prior to the massage and execute a personalized experience on each visit. The ambience and opportunities for "upgrades" (cupping, aroma therapy) are a nice touch, as well. I highly recommend a massage experience with Elizabeth-you will be a repeat customer, for sure!

I have been coming to Elizabeth for a few years now. I have had different needs due to surgeries and she has always far exceeded results. She is always professional and an expert in her field. She has an amazing and soothing bed side manner. Her new location is beautiful so Very zen - I'd follow her anywhere.
