About Me.
Hello! My name is Ana Sandoval. I'm a 2021 graduate of Kishwaukee College Therapeutic Massage Program and a 2022 graduate of the Esthetics program. I am a dually licensed massage therapist and esthetician in the State of Illinois.
Like most individuals, I love receiving massages. My interest in massage began as a means to aid my mom whom at the time was suffering from a frozen shoulder. She was recommended physical therapy and massage as part of her treatment plan, I figured that if I could learn how to properly massage her, it would be a great benefit in her recovery process. Learning how to bring relief to someone in need was love at first touch.
In school I was able to learn different massage modalities and contraindications ranging from babies to older adults. I learned the power of the human touch and its effectiveness on tired individuals seeking pain relief and relaxation, including Eastern and Western approaches to massage.
I provide mobile therapeutic massage services that are custom-tailored to each individual client. At many spas, franchises and privately owned establishments the clock starts ticking the moment that a client enters the room, including the interview process and the time that it takes for a client to undress. In these cases, a 60 minute massage will end up being 50 minutes or 45 min where the therapist is rushing to finish so they can start on the next client. I do not think this is fair as you are not getting what you paid for, but it is the industry standard. I do not agree with that philosophy. My therapeutic massage services reflect the time and attention that I dedicate to each individual client and thus why I only offer 75, 90 and 120 minute sessions. I do not like to rush, but rather take my time on every individual.
It is a privilege to work on you, thank you for entrusting me with your relaxation.
