Reiki By Ardath
A Touch of Normal! This year has brought us many unexpected turns, and with it many of us have found our bodies, minds and spirits have opened to new ways of thinking and managing our stress. In a world that too often seems in turmoil, massage therapy and craniosacral therapy can foster peace, goodness and caring.

If you are experiencing feelings of hopelessness, you are not alone! Yet there are ways a craniosacral therapy session can help to reset the nervous system, to calm it down and allow you to begin to "feel like yourself again". Perhaps you haven't been touched in a gentle way due to social distancing and lack of social interaction.

I'm actually doing really well after major knee surgery. I'm 7 weeks post-op and my surgeon said my knee looks like i'm 4 months out. Should be off crutches in the next couple of weeks. I'm healing very well so far. The craniosacral and Reiki work has helped get me the accelerated recovery. Thank you so much!
Q: How does a Reiki Treatment help me? A: Reiki treatments are comfortable and very relaxing. Reiki has been used to facilitate healing of minor ailments such as headache, colds, flu, sore throat, fatigue, cuts, bruises and insomnia as well as facilitating faster recovery from major surgery and illnesses.
Reiki is a Japanese healing art that is gaining worldwide popularity. What makes Reiki unique is that it incorporates elements of just about every other alternative healing practice, such as spiritual healing, auras, crystals, chakra balancing, meditation, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and homeopathy.

I have been seeing Ardath for reiki and tarot readings since moving to Chicagoland. I always feel better after I leave and am calmer and more relaxed. She’s very intuitive and has drummed up some very accurate readings for me.
Would recommend.

Ardath is incredibly talented and was able to relieve some pain that I was experiencing that day. She has an uncanny ability to go right to the source of a problem. I never had Reiki until my session with Ardath, and it was simply amazing. Highly recommend her!

Ardath is such a master healer. I've gone for Reiki treatments many times over the past 6 years and each time her skills amaze me. This time was a hip problem after surgery which was painful and limiting my mobility. After two treatments I'm feeling completely pain free. Always kinda shocks me how powerful the work is given how subtle it feels when she's working. Thanks, Ardath!

Ardath has a wonderful, caring touch. But best of all, she is effective. What more can you ask for?

I am going through some challenging experiences currently and knew I needed to get more grounded. I am grateful that I found Ardath. I actually hesitated to write a review because I want to keep her to myself! She is a truly gifted practitioner. I found her through a Yelp search for cranial-sacral therapists. I was a little wary as I have had both good and bad experiences with people I've found on Yelp. Ardath's work definitely falls into the "good experiences".
I have seen Ardath for six sessions now, and after each session I feel better emotionally as well as physically. Ardath is so kind, talented

A ok surly pure bliss- deep, warm, tr sfirnarionsl, healing, loving and simply amazing is all I can say. One of the best massages I've ever had and the reiki was life changing. This woman is FIFTED and outs her hart and soul I tonher work. I'm from CA and was visiting in town when I stumbled across her place waking by one day and was really in need of a "good" smashed. I had previous had some pretty lousy massages by unskilled people at one of those chain message places we all know. I'll never do that against aradth was amazing. She heats up the bed, the fil.

I carry a lot of tension in my muscles and need frequent massages. I'm so glad I listened to the previous yelp reviews and found Ardath. I've been seeing her regularly for over a year and she has been so important to my health. I feel healed every time I leave her. Her massage studio is charming and comfortable and she is so warm and friendly.

I'm writing a second review just to say that after 2+ months of working with Ardath primarily through Reiki and Craniosacral therapies, I am experiencing profound psychological relief. I am more centered and grounded than I've been in years. I can now face stuff that used to trigger me with so much more equanimity, and I bounce back much more quickly! I'm a decades-long therapy veteran and nothing has helped me as much as simply lying on Ardath's table. Thank you Ardath - you're a gift!

I surprised my boyfriend with a reike session with Ardath. I had an instant feeling of warmth and peace the moment we walked into her home. I almost felt like I had known Ardath and was very comfortable being around her. She just didn't feel like a stranger to me. Anyway, I left and hung at the Starbucks during my BF's session; there's not a whole lot of room to chill and that was no problem because Starbucks was literally 5 seconds away. To sum up, my BF's reike session was, as he stated, "not a big deal". Ugh. I was disappointed in my BF. He wasn't open to

Ardath is an incredible massage/craniosacral/reiki therapist. She is extremely sensitive and intuitive making a session with her quite magical. She can always feel the spots that need work (without asking) and knows exactly what to do to help the stress and tension melt away with ease. By the end of the session, I feel like a million bucks. I am beyond grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to all my friends and family.

On January 2012, I was commuting to work early in the morning and heard about Reiki on the radio. I immediately become very interested in it. During the segment one of the announcers was explaining how it was a very good way to "balance" yourself and to get rid of any negative or stagnant energies we hold in our bodies. She was very excited and sure energy healing was extremely beneficial. At the same time, however, the other announcers were very confused as to what Reiki really entailed and how it worked. None the less, I thought to myself...

"Well if I do have any negative, imbalance

I have been lucky to have been receiving Reili treatments by Ardath for many years. As many, I was sceptical of Reiki even after trying it with other practictioners before I met Ardath, but I decided to give Ardath a try. I have never regretted it since. The threapeutic benefits have been many. I highly recommend trying Reiki, keeping an open mind, and absolutely use the services of Ardath. Everyone can benefit from her sensitive healing.

I went to see Ardath about 4 weeks after I had injured my back. In the meantime, I had seen my internist and had been referred for physical therapy. I was very faithful doing the daily PT exercises, but they didn't seem to be helping. Eventually, my sister recommended Ardath and by the time I made an appointment, my right hip and knee were also hurting! I had 3 Reiki treatments within a week -- after which about 95% of the pain was gone! I didn't need to use the muscle relaxers or the pain medication which my doctor had prescribed. I must admit that I don't really understand

First time client and I think the best words to describe my session was extremely relaxed. I did feel tingles of energy in my feet and hands...very subtle but I felt it for sure... but I couldn't stop yawning afterwards to save my life! I was soooo sleepy! but it was good. Ardath recommends in order to get the "full" effect you have to go back consecutively 2-3 times. For a first time client I appreciated it.

I am a complete newbie about Reiki and similar non-traditional therapeutic methods, but Ardath came highly recommended, so I tried a session with her. All I can say is wow! I really felt like something intensely relaxing was happening, and afterwards it felt like I just finished the best massage ever. Since then I've had a few more sessions that were equally as satisfying, and she even did a "distance Reiki" with me over the phone when I was feeling too poorly to come in. I can't explain it but that session worked almost as well, and I recovered from the cold I had in about
