Your massage experience begins with the oils and creams that touch your ski n- they are handcrafted as a proprietary mixture of antioxidant and skin-regenerative oils that are renowned for their healing properties. There are no nut oils in these blends in order to prevent any of the highly allergic reactions caused by nuts. They are small-batch as well, so that all touching your skin is the freshest and most beneficial it can possibly be. Since we want only the best quality touching you, we use only 100% cotton sheets to pamper your skin with. Our laundry service contracts with us to use only an organic, biodegradable detergent with NO artificial scents or dryer sheets to prevent any allergic reactions.

Services
Essential Healing and Massage is a family-run private practice designed as a genuine alternative to the typical "Spa" experience; we've been in business for over 15 years, and we want to help you reach your wellness goals. We are experienced with Aromatherapy, Detoxification, and pain relief. The Health and Wellness of our clients is our main objective.
Ashiatsu is an updated, Western version of an ancient form of bodywork: massage using the feet. Its roots can be found in a variety of Eastern healing techniques that stretch back thousands of years. Though gentle, the Ashiatsu massage offers a depth unmatched by any other massage technique. The series of movements and stretches given to you via Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy are meant to elongate and relieve muscle tightness which promotes healthy, strong posture; and this therapy delivers the effectiveness of deep tissue but the feeling of smooth flowing Swedish.
You should expect to spend a couple minutes filling out a confidential client information sheet for us and talking with your therapist. The info sheet includes a brief medical history and contact information. This is because we need to know whether there are any contraindications for your massage, why you came to get a massage, and also to find out what your expectations are before you receive a massage. It's always intimidating going somewhere new for a massage, and we strive to make it the most comfortable experience possible.
We are licensed and certified in the State of Illinois, and have been in business for many years. No, we do not do direct insurance billing. However, we can give you a receipt so that you may receive payment directly from your insurance carrier if massage is covered by them. Yes, we do. Costs are quoted per individual, and services include seated chair massage, table massage, and reflexology.

The space is so peaceful and relaxing from the moment one walks in. There is a sense of calm and peace. Really like the all natural soaps and different products they have available for purchase. Highly recommend the ashiatsu massage. Any treatment or service here is worth every penny. They have helped me heal and feel restored in an environment that is very peaceful, welcoming and calm without bright lights and corporate marketing. This is the real deal.

This was my first visit (a gift certificate from my stepdaughter - THANK YOU ANDREA!). I walked in pretty stressed out and with a stiff and achy neck and shoulder. It's been that way for weeks. I started calming down almost immediately. The music, the ambience, the decor, the lighting - incredibly relaxing. The massage room had a heated bed, soft cotton bedding, soft lighting. Soooo very relaxing. Helen was amazing.
She knew which parts of my body were stressed out and gently worked on them. Her voice was calming, she was wonderful to talk to, and her knowledge and skill amazed me. I'm writing this the morning after my massage - I walked out with NO shoulder or neck pain and am still pain free today. Love this place!

When calling to cancel appointment the older woman who answered the phone rudely said OK and abruptly just hung up. I had only made the appointment 20 minutes earlier and realize the time was not good for me when I called back to cancel. This would've been my first time visiting this establishment and obviously won't even considered going there in the future. Very unprofessional.

I have been to Essential Healing and massage for several years now. I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else. Cindy is the best!!! She always knows what hurts before I even do!! She recently started doing Himalayan Salt therapy on me with beautiful, round, smooth, heated, Himalayan stones! I highly recommend this!!!! It is energizing and reviving and so worth it!!! She is also a reiki master and has done reiki on me, and taught me to do it on myself. She is a real inspiration!!

I absolutely love this place for massage. I like to go to smaller, local businesses like this for massage. The environment is comfortable and calming. Very nice rooms that are relaxing. I always go to Lauren and she does an excellent job. I typically get a deep tissue or hot stone, which Lauren helped me find that I like. She helps me with my achy shoulder and any other specific issues I am having. She's a relaxed and calm person too, which helps me chill and enjoy the massage. Highly recommend this place.

I have been getting my massage treatments by Helen (sometimes Cindy) for over a year now. Using her intuitive skills and training in various massage techniques, I feel FABULOUS! It has definitely improved my health, especially with my knee arthritis. I can walk with comfort and ease and without pain. I still have a ways to go but am very satisfied (happy) with the progress I have made since getting massage treatments with Helen. Essential Healing and Massage has a lot to offer and I would highly recommend it to anyone to check it out.

Essential Healing and Massage is a cute little office with great massage therapists- it's hiding across the street from the DuPage County Courthouse complex. I've had multiple massages from Helen, and I can say that her knowledge and skill have definitely helped relieve work-related neck and back pain. One time I came in and I couldn't turn my head- when I left I was able to turn it again!

At no other place have I enjoyed a better massage. Helen really knows what she's doing. She knows a lot about the body, what causes various parts to go awry, and how to get those parts back on course. My chronically jacked-up neck and shoulders are finally starting to release after several sessions in a row, and that's major news. The atmosphere is very positive and soothing. I don't even live or work close to Wheaton anymore, but it's worth it to make a special trip.

I really love this place! Thanks to Helen Floyd (owner) I got a wonderful Indian Head massage. I'm a bad headache/Migraine sufferer and this massage really did the trick! I would go every week for one if I could. I felt like I was floating on a cloud the rest of the day, and really for me that's a sign of one good massage! Essential Healing and Massage not only offers the amazing migraine relief but they also offer all kinds of body work and even sell their own soaps and essential oils! This place really is fantastic, you always can tell when people love what they do; it shows in their work. I will definitely be back !
