Massage Therapists

Caroline

After nearly a decade as a software programmer, Caroline decided to follow her passion for wellness and become a Licensed Massage Therapist. Her style is patient and pleasantly firm, blending Swedish massage with myofascial techniques — slow, steady pressure that helps release tight muscles and connective tissue so the body can move more freely.

Beyond finding relief, Caroline helps clients become more aware of their bodies and better understand where they’re holding onto tension.

Jennifer

Jennifer found massage therapy more than 24 years ago after deciding the corporate world just wasn’t for her. She wanted work that felt meaningful, where she could actually make a difference in how someone felt. That eventually led her to Spa Soak — first as a place she believed in, and later as its owner.

Having grown up on a farm just south of Chicago, Jennifer loves the energy of city life just as much as she appreciates having a place to slow down and escape the commotion.
