BAM! Best massage in Chicago.
I found Faydra by total happenstance...and thus, had no expectations.
Her style is very unique...blending stretching and kneading with a keen awareness of the body's limitations and needs. I typically dislike when massage therapists focus on my arms and legs, as it always hurts (and not in a good way, more in a painful you are hurting my skin sort of way)...but Faydra is a genius. Strong, confident...with calm energy.
I've never felt so relaxed, it's like all of my muscles started taking orders from Faydra...melting across my bones, resistant no more. Take that stress, tension and anxiety...Faydra kicked yo' ass.
Now, rarely am I texting/calling a massage therapist hours after leaving to make another appointment. Luckily, my boy toy reaped the benefits of my goodwill on this one...he got in to see her just a few days later, and echoes my sentiments. And, he's a harsher critic than I...
Price: $85/hour + tip
If you need a massage, I suggest you check her out. But not too many of you, because I need another one. And another. And...well, you get it.Listed in: Massage Maven

I hate stretching. I really do. I work out a lot and should stretch more often. When I don't, you know what happens? My body gets out of whack. Some parts get tight, while the opposing parts get pulled on creating... well a lot of pain. Here is where Faydra comes in. I met Faydra a few years ago when we worked together, but I moved on and she has added massage to her repertoire of skills.
Let me be clear, because of my lack of stretching, massaging is also pretty painful for me, however, I need to get it done. I need to loosen up those muscles so I can move and function in a more proper and efficient way. Faydra worked me over, specifically my lats, right below my armpits. She worked me over and actually got the area fairly relaxed and loose. Also she doesn't like to use a lot of oil, something I prefer. I like to feel like I haven't come from participating in an oil wrestling match, not that I ever have mind you. She will use more or oil if needed though, so not to worry about that. She does very precise movements after she got me warmed up. She can be as specific as need be or work the over all body. Gentle and always made sure I felt comfortable, never too cold or feeling like I was a little too over exposed. She does a lot of in homes too, just for that treat when you don't want to leave the comfort of your house.
How did I know it was a good massage? My body was a bit jiggly, my voice dropped a little more and I was having trouble forming coherent sentences. Thank goodness I wasn't driving. My legs and chest are next and I can't wait! -

I've used Faydra's services for several years. She is very attentive to your wants and needs and customizes her services to each individual. I have referred her to several people as I know that she truly cares about each person that she works with as she takes care of her clients and always goes above and beyond. Anyone that crosses paths with her is lucky to have her come into your life as she always makes a positive impact.

What a great massage!!!
I knew going in that I had some trouble spots and she did a great job working out the kinks. But even better than that - as she worked she found spots that needed extra time and worked through those as well. While I've had massages for relaxation before (some with Faydra and those were great as well!), this was different in that she really helped to ease tight workout muscles and stress bundles.
It was a great massage and I can't even begin to describe how amazing I felt afterwards-
