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. I have recently returned to NUHS for graduate school to study Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture, which will eventually allow me to greatly expand on the services I am able to offer you!

What sets me apart as a massage therapy practitioner? Every session you book with me is completely individualized to focus on your specific goals. I value both the art and science behind massage therapy which is why you will receive a truly unique mind-body-spirit experience in my sessions. This career has led me down a path of lifetime learning; the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop growing. In addition to the therapeutic clinical massage work I offer, I have completed certifications and coursework in several Eastern energy therapies, including a Certification in Traditional Thai Bodywork at Blue Lotus Healing Studies and received Reiki Master Level Training from Heather McCutcheon. Staying current with the scientific research on massage therapy is also important to me and helps guide me to find the best massage treatment plan for you.

I also value community service and try to involve myself in a variety of events each year. One of the organizations I love to volunteer with is the Reiki Brigade which provides energy therapy to veterans, first responders, medical schools, and communities in need. Because the guiding pillars in my life include education, research, and community service it was an easy decision for me to serve my profession as a volunteer for an organization that stands for the same. For many years, I served as a volunteer for the Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF) and previously as a Trustee for the foundation’s board.

Wellness truly is a journey and it takes persistence on the part of both the patient and the practitioner. I hope that you will consider trusting me to help facilitate your pathway to health and wellness. I look forward to working with you on your journey! You can reach me via call/text, email, or you can choose to book your own appointment online here.
