My name is Lithian (Li-Thee-An) and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Illinois. I am more known by my nickname of Lynn (or Lin or Ladie L). I am a valedictorian graduate with presidential honors of The Soma Institute of Clinical Massage Therapy in Chicago. I had an in depth learning experience at Soma which included learning a variety of techniques to not only relax and relief pain, but to also treat several conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cervical DDD, Shoulder Tendonitis, Piriformis Syndrome, IT Band Contracture and more. I was also taught postural analysis and various special tests in order to perform a more detailed evaluation of my clients and properly assess their needs.
I became a massage therapist because I like helping people and after receiving professional massages, I realized it was something I really wanted to learn to do. I wanted to relief pain and make people feel relaxed and happy! I didn't know at the time, but I as I trained and starting working with clients, I realized performing massage also brought me happiness. My clients appreciate me and it gives me a great sense of joy and fulfillment. I also realized a greater benefit of massage beyond relaxation. Massage is so much more, and has many health benefits. I am proud to be a part of a natural way of aiding the body in the healing process.
My approach to massage therapy is to customize a massage that fits your needs using a combination of techniques including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, and Joint Mobilization. You can find a description of these modalities under Services and Rates.
