Tricia Partlow LMT

I graduated from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 2006 and from Blue Lotus Thai Healing Studies in 2012. I received my pregnancy certificate from Kate Jordan's Massage for the Childbearing Year course in 2014.

I have gained experience in a variety of clinical and spa settings in Chicago and as a part of the medical recovery team at the Chicago Marathon. I specialize in clinical therapeutic treatment of pain and dysfunction, finding the most effective work to be gentle, while my work is anything but timid. Engaging the client as the source of the healing process, I seek to listen to the muscle tissue and develop a treatment plan to suit the individual. My bodywork practice has aided marathon and Iron Man competitors, the elderly, as well as those suffering from long term postural strain, Parkinson’s Disease and unexplained chronic pain syndromes.

 

I feel as though I have found a home in Thai massage and I cherish bringing the practice to new clients, more and more convinced of its effectiveness in reducing pain and increasing function throughout the body. I have also had the privilege to study with healers of many religious backgrounds and offer my appreciation for the spiritual and energetic in my clinical work. I am Nationally Certified by the NCBTMB, Illinois State Licensed, and a member of Thai Healing Alliance International.

 

I now only offer longer sessions, 90 or 120 minutes. While this may seem odd, I have found it to be most beneficial to my clients by allowing them to fully relax and giving me the opportunity work without rushing. For years I found myself saying that “once you try 90, you never go back.” Finally I took the plunge with my practice and have found that clients are most happy for the extra time in each session.

 

I am happy to announce that as of April 2021 I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and remain committed to practicing safely to keep myself, my clients, my loved ones, and the community healthy.

 

I look forward to meeting you.
