About Me

Jeff Downing, Licensed Massage Therapist 

I am a midwesterner at heart and a Chicago resident for the past 20 years.  I have studied at Wright State University in Dayton as well as University of Cincinnati.  My professional background is varied including real estate, acting, restaurant management and owner of a residential cleaning business.

As a graduate of Cortiva Institute-Chicago, my training includes several types of modalities; Swedish relaxation, deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial techniques as well as trigger point therapy.  Although I can provide a relaxing massage, I would consider my style more therapeutic.  My goal as a massage therapist is to work closely with my clients to achieve maximum relief from the everyday stress related aches and pains that life brings.  I strongly believe in the power of the holistic approach to healing that massage provides and believe the old adage of “a healthy body is a healthy mindâ€.  My thoughts are that massage therapy is not a luxury indulgence, but a necessary part of healthy living and overall wellness.
