Hi! I'm Jen Dexheimer, owner and sole practitioner of Journey to Wellness, Inc. I am an Illinois Licensed Massage Therapist who currently, has both a certificate in Massage Therapy and a Bachelors in Biomedical Science with a concentration in nutrition from the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS), where I have also previously served as a massage program instructor and complementary medicine researcher for over 16 years.
Consultations can be scheduled as stand alone appointments or can be made as an add-on immediately before or after your regularly scheduled massage. These visits are typically 30-60 minutes in length can can be used to discuss and assess which forms of massage may be most beneficial for your condition or they can be used to help you along in your journey of self-care.
Therapeutic massage describes any type of massage technique that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work toward resolution of a specific complaint. Many still assume that therapeutic massage means deep tissue massage; however, even though "deep tissue massage" is still very commonly referred to as a technique style in the industry, it is an antiquated and deceptive way of viewing massage.
Cupping is a therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi (chi), the flow of vital energy circulating through the body and the world around us. If the qi is disrupted or disturbed, it can create stagnation (blockages) or imbalances in the body.
Thai massage can be referred to by many names, Traditional Thai Massage (Nuad Boran), Thai Bodywork, and Thai Yoga Massage to name a few. This therapy is thousands of years old and is rich in cultural history and practice, having been influenced by acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, assisted yoga postures, and many other eastern therapies.

I’ve had a lot of massage over the years, including Thai massage in Thailand, and I can happily say that Jen is absolutely top drawer. After my first session with her, I felt more flexible, more relaxed and yet somehow more energized - I think stronger would be the right word - than I had in months. And taller; seriously, when I got into my car afterward, I had to readjust my mirrors.
I can’t recommend Jen highly enough. When I win the lottery, I’m hiring her full time. Until then, I’m willing to share.

I was in bad shape when I contacted Jennifer. I literally told her "my body feels like I've been hit by a truck" on a Monday morning as I couldn't turn my head or move at all. She was empathetic of my pain, discussed options for treatment, and made a timely appointment. She emailed the forms and COVID-19 restrictions prior to my visit, so I knew… what to expect upon arrival. Jennifer listened to past treatments and asked questions prior to my massage. I left feeling so much better than when I arrived. We discussed stretching, posture, and other minor things that I can do at home. The space

I highly recommend Jennifer. She takes the time to get to know the issues you are having and concentrate on those areas as well as gives suggestions for things that may help. I have been seeing her for a few years and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. The new space is beautiful, so welcoming, and relaxing!

I had scheduled a spa/pamper day for my wedding party and my original masseuse had to cancel. I found Jen on Google and am so happy that I did! She was so easy to communicate with and was happy to travel to our event space with all of her materials. She was very professional and left all of my ladies feeling relaxed! I would highly recommend her for a massage or a group event!

I had been feeling stressed, anxious and headachy, feeling like my cranium was congested with energy... I described this to Jen, and she did a Thai massage that was stellar. All the work was smooth and settling, with great pressure, and I felt all the congestion drain out of my head. I left feeling relaxed and headache-free. :) Thanks, Jen!
