Viktoriya started learning massage as a child, to treat headaches and back pain among family members. She received her Diploma of Massage Therapy and Asian Bodywork from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago. There she trained in Tui Na, Fire Cupping, and Floor/ Table Thai Massage. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Philosophy from Northwestern University.

In 2016 Viktoriya traveled to Chiang Mai, Thailand to further her studies at Thai Massage School Shivagakomarpaj & Old Medicine Hospital. She often blends Table Thai techniques along with Deep Tissue to address pelvic and lumbar dysfunction.

In her ten year practice, her primary goals have been to help restore homeostasis and encourage healthy diaphragmatic breathing during sessions. She particularly enjoys helping with headaches, rotator cuff, upper-crossed syndrome, TMJ pain, and providing abdominal massage. She also offers Prenatal and Postnatal Massage and knows from experience how helpful receiving bodywork can be during this transformative time.

Emily graduated from CenterPoint Massage and Shiatsu Therapy School and Clinic, where she received training in both Western and Eastern bodywork modalities. Being able to approach healing from both Eastern and Western viewpoints helps her to provide well rounded, holistic sessions.

Her favorite part about her job is helping facilitate healing and restoration for the individuals she works with. She believes the body is created in an amazing design, and we have so much more to learn about it!
