Alejandro is quite the professional. Probably hands down one of the most thorough massages I have ever experienced. He used techniques and stretches I have not previously experienced. I workout regularly: lift weights, swim, bike. Seems I always have tightness somewhere. Alejandro had a means to locate virtually every area of tension. I went for 90 minutes which included some stretching....could have easily went another 90 minutes. He has a very pleasant demeanor, comfortable conversations, and very professional space. I will be back.

From the moment I stepped into Alejandro's pristine workspace, I was greeted with an aura of professionalism and care. The ambiance was calming, with soft lighting, soothing music, and a scent that instantly eased the tension in my muscles. His hands seemed to intuitively find the knots and tension points in my body. His professionalism and dedication to providing the highest level of care were truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Alejandro to anyone in need of an exceptional massage therapist. Thanks, Alejandro.

I had an appointment with Alejandro today and am still in a state of relaxation and bliss. Scheduling the appointment was easy and he was accommodate my same day request.
When I arrived, parking was easy on a nice tree lined street. Alejandro has a calming, designated massage space. He takes health during the pandemic seriously. Explaining his safety protocol and following it. I felt safe and at ease.
The massage was amazing. I opted for 90 minutes and was not disappointed. Alejandro has a fantastic technique of massage and stretching. 90 minutes went by quickly, the affects have not.
Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment. You will not regret it.
Thank you, Alejandro!

I have been seeing massage therapists for many, many years, and Alejandro is definitely one of the best I have experienced. He takes his time. It doesn’t seem to be routine, as he customizes his technique to one’s needs. I would HIGHLY recommend him, as I don’t feel you will be disappointed whatsoever. Thank YOU Alejandro!

Had my initial appointment with Alejandro and was very impressed. His past experience in hotels and spas is evident – if you’ve had professional massages in those settings, you’ll appreciate that 1) he knows what he’s doing when it comes to musculature, anatomy and flexibility, and 2) he understands what his client needs based on his or her particular problems, if any. Personally, my struggle has been with flexibility and muscle knotting. When I’ve been physically active for a few days in a row, my joints are usually stiff and I just hurt all over. After my massage with Alejandro I felt more flexible and relieved of a lot of the aches and pains I had. Alejandro is a true pro, and I’m sure I’ll soon be a regular client. Thanks!

The massage that I got from Alejandro was the best. I am not one to get massages because past experiences at other establishments have left me with a negative experience. But Alejandro’s massage is heavenly. From the beginning he is very professional and safely gives you directions due to covid. He guides you in the beginning, telling you how to breath as you enter a deep relaxation. I would really recommend the 90 minute massage as it includes both the back and the front. Working the hands and the feet was nice too. Alejandro will help you with mobility and flexibility as well and i was super impressed by that. Please check out Alejandro as your massage therapist. I definitely will be coming back :)

It was obvious from the moment I walked into his apartment that Alejandro had worked in some very nice spas. The whole space smelled wonderful and was pristine. The massage room had all the comforts of a spa setting.
First, Alejandro asked me to have a seat while he explained everything that was about to happen in the massage, safety protocols he would observe, etc. This was especially important to me during this time of COVID.
Alejandro's touch was firm without ever being rough. His knowledge of human anatomy was obvious, as he worked on areas I didn't even realize were tight. The abdominal massage was a very nice touch for an area often ignored in massage. And the stretches were a real plus!
If you are looking for a spa-quality massage in the comfort of someone's home, Alejandro is the therapist for you. Highly recommended.
Warm Regards,
James

I had my first massage with Alejandro this week, at the recommendation of a good friend. Because I had spoken with my friend about what to expect from the massage, I was sure I would enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the massage exceeded my expectations.
I arrived to find a very tidy, warm, and inviting massage space. I have been to places where the massage therapist worked hard to scent the air with incense or candles, which can sometimes be overwhelming. That was not the case in Alejandro's home. The space was nicely lit with nothing to jar the senses, and I immediately felt very comfortable.
Since it was my first time, Alejandro talked to me a bit about what to expect, and reminded me to feel free to express my massage preferences at any time during our session. There was soft music playing during the massage, and the room was just the right temperature for me. However, I knew that had I needed anything to be done differently I could have asked.
The massage was just what I needed, and Alejandro was professional, warm, and attentive throughout. He even massaged my abdomen, which I hadn't ever experienced before but loved. I left the session feeling rejuvenated and relaxed in equal amounts. I will definitely go back again, and am hoping to create a self-care routine that will include regularly scheduled visits to Alejandro. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Kind regards,
Janvier

After my last massage therapist and I parted ways, I was searching for someone new and stumbled across Alejandro’s information. He seemed to have great reviews so decided to give him a shot and I was NOT disappointed with that decision!
The whole process was great from start to finish. He responded immediately to my text so setting it up was a breeze, parking was free and easy, and his massage studio was super clean and professional all while having personality and feeling very inviting. Before we started, he was very communicative about his process, the extra precautions he was taking to safeguard against the current pandemic, and made sure to ask if I had any questions or concerns. The massage itself was not only relaxing but extremely therapeutic. His stretching techniques and abdominal work were something I hadn’t experienced in a massage before but both were a welcomed surprise! I left feeling extremely relaxed and rejuvenated.
In summary, if you’re looking for a true professional with knowledge and passion for the craft, I highly recommend Alejandro!

I just had my first massage with Alejandro and it was fantastic! I am a massage therapist myself and don't often stray from my regular therapists because I am picky. I had the Signature Massage which was a perfect blend of therapeutic and stress reduction, combining targeted deep techniques with relaxing Swedish style strokes. The Signature massage also included stretching and joint mobilization, which we all could use more of. I left feeling very relaxed, and the pain in my shoulders and upper back greatly reduced. Alejandro is kind and professional and follows the State and City protocols concerning Covid-19 without making them seem burdensome. I highly recommend his work and will be back myself!

Thanks again for another great massage, Alejandro!
I'm glad to help you out! I'll be glad to see you again in a few weeks.
"Alejandro replied to my text promptly, and we quickly made arrangements for an appointment. Parking was easy, the apartment was warm and inviting, and the host friendly and cordial. The designated massage studio was beautifully decorated and furnished with amenities like green plants, fresh towels, and space heater. After a brief and friendly consultation, Alejandro started with a hot towel on my back, and began to go to work. The 90-minute Signature massage is really amazing. His work was strong, professional, and therapeutic, with elements of stretching throughout. Another hot towel and bottle of water and we were done. I cannot recommend Alejandro more strongly."

So, recently I was fortunate enough to schedule a massage session with Alejandro. He provided one of the best and most thorough massage I have had in many years. As a frequent massage customer, I was very impressed with his technique and skill. One of the best therapeutic massages I’ve ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and book a 90 minute session to get a fantastic therapeutic and yet relaxing massage. I will definitely be scheduling another session!
Thanks,
Dave

Visited Alejandro last week and had a great session. From the get, he was welcoming!
His location is on the far North side of the City — easily located a short distance CTA (bus or L). For those who drive their seems to be ample street parking.
His space is cozy, warm, with an heir of serenity. Alejandro was clear with the flow of the massage accompanied by rhythmic strokes. The use of hot towels, essential oils, premium creams were an added bonus to the therapeutic session.
Check him out.
Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Alejandro. I am very impressed with the professional level of the massage I received today. You hit all the triger areas very well and I am very pleased I choose you as a massuer. Hope I see you soon for our next session possibly next month. Kudos!

I had the opportunity to receive a massage from Alejandro. It was fantastic. Alejandro is not only a wonderful masseuse but is very nice and welcoming. He is very clear in the session expectations and has great hands. His studio is great and very conveniently located. I truly enjoyed my massage and will be seeing him again

Alejandro is a great professional massage therapist. He certainly enjoys his craft and does a great job. i really enjoyed the abdominal portion of his 90 minute special. Never really got into my abs being massaged, but it felt great.

Very magical hands! His personality is engaging and he is dedicated to making the experience professional. It is clear that he knows the body well and intuitively tailors the massage. He creates a comfortable environment and is focused throughout the session. I have found my "go to" masseur.

Alejandro is the friendliest masseur I've ever booked with. His therapeutic massage is outstanding and just as he and other reviewers describe in his ad. I was not disappointed but extremely pleased with the session and the results. I'd highly recommend the 90-minute session. Overall, it is well worth the travel from the city center. Don't hestitate to book with him if you want a terrific professional, therapeutic, and enjoyable massage..

I highly recommend Alejandro if you are looking for a great therapeutic massage - he is very welcoming, open, communicates throughout the massage as needed, and has a great setting for a massage session. I will be back when I am in Chicago again.

Alejandro is fantastic! My regular massage guy moved away and I have been searching for a replacement. I have been trying many different people for the last year, but my search is over. He is very personable and made me feel at ease. His place is clean and tidy and there is plenty of street parking.
My first massage from him was great, so I went back again. The second was even better. He is passionate about his work and explained to me that he gets a sense of satisfaction from giving massages. – it makes all the difference. He will consistently check in and verify that I am comfortable and receiving the right amount of pressure.
If you are hunting around for an exceptional massage from a professional you MUST try Alexandro. He is the best.
