Welcome to your massage
Whether you simply want to "get away from it all" and unwind & relax, or whether you are seeking specific therapeutic results because of a condition that you may have.... ....you have come to the right place.
The Spa If you have had plenty of bodywork by various massage therapists over the years, you know that no matter how good the training may have been for a masseur, that the best therapists have an "instinctive sense" of how to work with your connective tissue. That this sense can not be taught, it is an intuitive quality that is innate within the therapist themselves.
Additionally, those therapists that truly have this "healing touch" and that have received advanced therapeutic training from various classes and teachers, usually make the best therapists because they can combine their instinctive sense along with a thorough understanding of how the different muscle groups and its connective tissue are related and interdependent with one another.
The feedback that I have received from many of my clients over the last 17 years is that I have both the anatomical understanding of the human body, along with an instinctive touch of how to work with one's body once it is in my healing hands.
Bodywork sessions are individually customized to the current needs of each client. Before your session I will ask what you are feeling, what is going on with your body, and what you would like to accomplish from your bodywork session. I will take your feedback and combine it with what I find during your massage.
It is deep tissue massage that is my niche because I love working with the body's connective tissue and getting your body open, quite literally. During the session it is common that I will use several modalities as I work with interdependent muscle groups to produce thorough results. You will have the experience of feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. I am very experienced in working with all kinds of conditions. Whether you simply want to have all the stress taken away, or if you are dealing with an injury or chronic constrictive patterns - I have the expertise and the skill to work with what is at hand.
Services 
Beginning in 1991 I have received over 1,000 hours of training at the Institue of Psycho-Structural Balancing in Los Angeles, CA., and later on in New Mexico. Additionally, I was a teachers assistant for several deep tissue classes when I was a student at IPSB. Some of the modalities that I have been taught include:
Advanced Deep Tissue
Swedish
Pregnancy
Cranio-Sacral
Foot Reflexology
Lymphatic
Hydrotherapy
In the late '90's I studied "emotional body clearing" at the Deva Foundation in Glorieta, N.M. This was a psychologically based educational program. How this relates to bodywork is that the empahsis was how to skillfully listen and communicate with a client on verbal and non-verbal levels.
Skin care tips "Ethan's bodywork was amongst the best I've ever had. I contacted him with complaints about muscle stress and strain. He was extraordinarily inutitive and concentrated heavily on my problem areas. I swear I felt taller when I got off of his table. The relief I felt was immediate and lasted well through the weekend. I will be a regular guest on Ethan's table."
- Chris M., Architect. Chicago IL.
"Ethan was amazing! We scheduled two 90 minute massages and we are so grateful that we did. His energy was very peaceful and calming and his touch was deep and centering. Ethan gave us the best massage we've had in a long time. We have scheduled another massage and our only regret is that we had to wait so long to get him back."
- H & P. Chicago, IL.
"I have had many massages over the years and Ethan is by far the most experienced. His experience with problematic muscles is extensive! Ethan was more helpful than the last sports therapist I went to for shoulder problems. The uniques feature that Ethan has is his strength! Most masseurs have strong hands, but Ethan puts his entire forearm stretched across with such strength to completely tell all the knots in my back to take a hike. I hope that I described that correctly because it is fantastic!"
- Joel B. San Diego, CA.
"I am a regular of Ethan's. I look forward to his visits because he has taken the time to develop an approach to my needs and what works best for my body. His style is intuitive and he is willing to rework an area or adjust his technique to "get it right." His tableside manner is professional yet friendly. I highly recommend Ethan to anybody looking for a therapeutic, relaxing massage from a genuinely nice guy who knows what he is doing."
-Robert F. Chicago, IL.
"I have had several surgeries on my knees and my feet, and I have a degenerative vertabrae condition. Ethan's bodywork has assisted me in staying out of pain and has increased my flexibility."
-Sharon Meadows. San Francisco, CA.
Appointments 
Location
My Chicago location is in the Lakeview / Buena Park area just off of Lakeshore Drive. My private massage studio is peaceful, clean and ambient. The studio's address is provided when an appointment is made. I can also come to your home or hotel with my massage table and give you your massage there.
I use an extra wide, well cushioned and heated Earthlite table, along with flannel sheets and quality oil or lotion. A shower is available. My work tends to be very thorough which is why I prefer to give 90 minute bodywork sessions. However, I can also accommodate 60 minute massages as well.
I am currently available for bodywork during most days of the month.
