Mend Wellness

"Irene at Mend Wellness is amazing! I haven't treated myself to a massage in quite awhile because I'm very picky about my therapists. But I recently had an injury and needed some work done. After combing through Oak Park Mom's group, I found amazing reviews about Irene so I took a chance, and I'm glad I did. Irene is very welcoming and she has a calm presence. She is incredibly attentive and listened to my needs. She adjusted the pressure as needed (she was firm, but it was relaxing). She used warm towels, which added to the comfort. The room was clean, quiet and decorated with nice plants and low lighting. I left feeling lighter and completely relaxed. I'll definitely be back!"

"I'd wholeheartedly recommend Irene to anyone and everyone. I've been coming to Irene for a couple of years for massage and acupuncture to manage neck pain induced by poor posture and stress from graduate school. Irene intuitively and masterfully finds the spots that ache most. Irene's massages are therapeutic and also relaxing - the perfect combination. Her prices are fair given her level of excellence and it is always worth every penny. I have recommended her to many friends and family and will continue to do so."

"Mend Wellness is truly my favorite place to relax and receive restorative care. I always leave my appointments with Irene feeling well-supported and grounded. She is a true expert in the field."

"Irene at Mend Wellness has been an absolute gift throughout my breast cancer journey. After receiving clearance from my oncologist, I started working with Irene, and I'm so grateful I did. She intuitively adapts to what my body needs during each session, making every visit a deeply healing experience for both my body and mind. Irene helps me process the physical and emotional challenges I'm going through, and I always leave feeling more grounded and cared for. I genuinely look forward to every session with her. Highly recommend!"

"Irene is the warmest and most intuitive massage therapist I know. It's like she always knows just where to put added pressure and when to ease up. She is so knowledgeable about the body and anytime my body feels even a slight twinge I hit her up to help fix it! She has used oils, stretching, massage, acupuncture and more to help my body over the years. My life is absolutely better because Irene is part of my wellness journey. Highly recommend!!! 2022 update- I was able to visit Irene again earlier this year and she is better than ever. The space she is in is so nice, inviting and relaxing and because she uses natural oils and lotions, it smells SO GOOD in there! Still highly recommend!"

"Irene was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so grateful to have found her. Her office and treatment room are very cozy and relaxing. Irene is warm and friendly and immediately made me feel comfortable. I saw her for a prenatal massage, and beyond providing excellent massage therapy, she was so kind and encouraging. Definitely will be returning!"

"Irene is a truly amazing and gifted massage therapist. I've been going to her for 10 years. She is professional, very knowledgeable, down to earth and always gives the right amount of pressure. I've been to many different massage therapists and Irene is truly the best. Her office is quiet and very welcoming. You won't be disappointed!"

"After my lifelong massage therapist and long-term acupuncturist both retired out of state, I was so lucky to have found Irene; I was hooked after my first massage with her. Irene is extremely good and very intuitive. She knows my body as well as I do and immediately picks up on problem areas. Her acupuncture work is also excellent, after a meniscus injury flared up she was able to get me back on the treadmill after only 1-2 treatments. Anyone to whom I've recommended Irene RAVES about her, new clients will not be disappointed!!"
