Not to be missed - Transmute heaviness and low vibrational energy with this amazing sound bath offering on the 1st Friday of the month. If we get a good following, this will become a regular thing. All you need to do is wear comfortable clothing and bring a blanket and pillow and to lay back and enjoy yourself. There are 4 spots on a table or zero gravity chair, and I have up to 8 more yoga mats for the floor.
This technique will help you process old emotions and help you release what you’re done with while bringing in or solidifying the things you want to bring into your life. Go on a sound healing journey with me and come out lighter. Donations appreciated.
This offering is by donation - Please sign up & show up to ensure the class offering continues!
The perfect combination for life-changes, new year beginnings, and when you’re ready to start a new chapter.
3 Sessions that build on one-another in texture and pressure as the muscle tenacity changes and becomes more pliable. Meridians open & body systems flow better. As this happens, bodywork pressure grows more heavier handed into Thai moves to squeeze the tension from your body like toothpaste from a tube.
You will journal and make gradual, baby-step changes to your habits and lifestyle, creating leaps and bounds in no time. The journaling will help you solidify habits and realize the transformation in just weeks.
AS a thank you for investing in the both of us, you will receive a couple things:
My “Pain Eraser” Salve
Ionic Foot Detox for you and a friend
A seat at the next Gong Sound Bath Class
A holistic, energy-based therapy developed by Dr. Randolph Stone that restores balance to the body's life energy (prana/chi) through four pillars: energetic bodywork, nutrition, exercise (Polarity yoga stretches), and self-awareness/counseling.
Fully clothed, you rest comfortably on the table on your back while the practitioner uses gentle, intentional touch—often bipolar contacts (hands on opposing poles of the body)—to detect and release energy blockages, clear tension patterns, and encourage natural flow.
Sessions typically begin with reflective listening and intention-setting, followed by hands-on work that may include light to medium touch, rocking, or off-body energy balancing. You might experience deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, spontaneous movements, emotional release, or profound stillness.
Helpful for:
stress, anxiety & emotional tension
chronic pain & fatigue
headaches & digestive issues
trauma recovery
overall vitality & feeling "out of balance"
Most people leave feeling lighter, more energized, centered, and reconnected to their innate vitality—as if stagnant energy has finally been freed to move.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing and bring an open mind to your body's unique energy needs.
Looking forward to starting your polarity journey.
A gentle, hands-on session laying on your back that supports your nervous system’s natural ability to release tension and restore balance. Fully clothed, you rest comfortably on the table while the practitioner uses light, listening touch—often at the sacrum, head, or feet—to follow the subtle rhythms of cerebrospinal fluid, dural membranes, and connective tissue.
No forcing, only following: your body leads the process. You may experience deep stillness, spontaneous unwinding movements, warmth, tingling, emotional release, or profound relaxation.
Helpful for:
chronic stress & anxiety
headaches, neck/jaw tension
trauma & concussion effects
sleep issues
feeling physically/emotionally “stuck”
Most people leave feeling lighter, more grounded, spacious, and deeply rested—as if long-held patterns have finally softened.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing and bring open curiosity for whatever your system is ready to release.
Looking forward to working with you.
They say “stress kills…”
This is a 60-minute follow-up session. (Typically, 3 suggested within a month to begin program, then spacing session out accordingly)
You will move to vibration plate or directly to table work, while the discussion continues.
Please wear warm, comfortable clothing because we will not do any sheet draping. Lay back and relax while your meridians are cleared and old blockages broken up via intuitive Qigong, & meridian tapping. This also effectively stimulates the internal organs, the brain, the lymph system, and the entire body in general.
Every person is different. Every session is different, but the first “good opening” of the system is generally the same as described.
Feedback typically includes great sleep, motivation & renewed enthusiasm, decreased pain, finding a groove, making amends, cleaning/cleaning out closets (effectively mirroring the changes within the physical surroundings.)
Intake, discussion, & goals.
We become acquainted, which moves the emotional waters, often times intertwined with physical pains held within the body, because the physical body mirrors the emotional body. It’s why they say “stress kills…”

Invigorating session using 2 bamboo brooms to gently tap the entire body. Great for lymphatic drainage and circulation. Meditative and easily flows into other add-on's like singing bowls on the belly, ear tacks or Ionic Foot Detox.

Remove makeup & apply facemask of choice if you desire, then lay back in the zero-gravity chair and enjoy a foot mask and paraffin wax treatment or hand massage with hot stones and Pain Eraser Salve.
Goes great after a detoxing foot bath, an ear tack or with a seated polarity session for sustained relaxation. Mix and match add-ons for a one-of-a-kind mini-spa treatment.

UH-MAZING core strength workout and a blast once you get the hang of it.
Students get a quick tutorial of fundamentals and jump right into the feeling. Highly beneficial - you could struggle, get frustrated, and never learn to do it, or spend a day learning to save yourself 10.
You will get to cross the line (via my assistance) to feel what it feels like under your feet, without the adrenaline of having to save your own life. Learn low - a few rounds and a few days at a time and you will amaze yourself.
If there was an activity to learn meditation - this is it. You can focus on nothing else but the line.
Seasonal offerings as this is typically held outside. Private groups and private parties - let’s talk!
By you purchasing this ticket, you are waiving any responsibility of Unwind - Body & Mind Inc. or Chicago Health & Fitness. This is an extreme sport in some regards, and you are making your own decision to do this activity. You will not hold anyone else responsible if you hurt yourself. We will try to make this as safe as possible, but accidents always happen in life. If you are not in a position to take that chance, please do not do it.
Learn the basics, play around, get the feel of the weight and the swing - see if you like it!
If find it incredibly meditative, looks super cool, but is not as intimidating as you would think.
Come get some pointers that will shave off a ton of hours on your bell curve of learning, no biggy - very non-committal. And if you like it, the outside classes will be very free-flow style for the basics, and my specialty is more of teaching you how to dance with the fire. The key is to observe how people interact with it (anything) when they are relaxed and confident - and mimic that movement. Take some notes - they are the key components. You can make poi from yarn and plastic bags, but I’d suggest putting rocks or fishing weights inside to give it a heavier feel for practice.
By signing up for this class, you accept responsibility for yourself, your behavior, your lack of coordination, and any dumb move you may make. Life’s a journey - if you experience it and get burned along the way, well this is FIRE THROWING class.
Please wear cotton everything - some materials melt onto the skin and cannot be worn.
You will learn physical techniques that you can use to open the lungs & diaphragm, which in-turn, opens your lungs’ physical capacity like an accordion.
Over a surprisingly short time, you will notice a marked increase in your physical capacity to breathe deeper and fuller, making life in general, easier.
From going up the stairs to running faster and conserving energy, you will gain a new respect for your body when you’re done.
Create your own group class - Onsite or at your location (4-6 weeks recommended)

*2 Private Sessions & Journey of the Month included in Level 2 Memberships & Certain Programs
Sciatica Clinic
If you suffer from Sciatica, this may be for you. Because of the nature of this class, 101's should bring their own partner, but drop-ins can pair up if they're comfortable with one another. Basic bodywork moves to loosen the muscles of the entire legs, glutes, hips, and low to mid-back. May times this is enough to relieve the pain, so this is a great class for couples and caretakers as well as athletes.
“Clinics” will rotate between various areas of focus.
Included in Level 1 Memberships
Great class for couples & caregivers. Partnered class where you learn easy moves to help at-home care and rehabilitation assistance to those who need it or want to be a better partner.
You will learn how to better connect and communicate, while learning easy moves that deliver your healing touch. (This class includes your partner)
Help take control over your addictions, anxiety, weight loss, & more. A perfect complementary therapy to weight loss mining. Control Room sessions help you navigate your own personal controls to dial in your best personal homeostasis for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
We will cover your intake, goals and what looks like success to you. This concept is more about taking back control and restoring balance over number of days without, because if you don’t address the underlying issue, the addiction will jump to another outlet.
These 2 initial sessions set you up for the monthly group session or recording, where we will explore a different aspect, such as weight loss, or relaxation, improved memory, etc.
First, we build the foundation and create your personal control room together, which becomes a visual metaphor for your body’s physical, emotional, and spiritual systems.
Eventually there will be a recorded option for those who cannot/don’t want to attend in-person.
Members will be taken through a journey of the month, addressing some of the biggest challenges we face - crippling stress and anxiety, memory issues, money insecurities, addictions & compulsive behaviors.
These journeys are fun, relaxing, and highly beneficial.
Includes 2-3 minutes on the vibration plate each if time permits (squeeze this in at the beginning or end of class to help process emotions out of the body easier).

A series of easy techniques - movements to help bring you and your family back to normal within a minute or two for quickly burning off the fiery energy, either in the moment or to help address pent-up anger and frustration. Simple exercises help move the excess energy through the body in a productive, non-destructive way.
Not for everyone! (Must use SAFELY with a partner)
The Bi-Polar Roller is and intense acupressure treatment for your feet. The first several treatments hurt, but soon it becomes addictive as adhesions are broken up over time. You stand on the pipe, while your partner rolls back and forth, the pressure of your bodyweight hitting your feet from mid-heel to curling toes on the soles. Remember to point toes up as it gets further to the heel to counter the weight and keep you from slipping off. (See.. not for everyone…)
Use the device by the massage tables so you can lean over and place your hands on it, which gives balance and removes a portion of your full bodyweight. If you take the chance and you bust your ass, you bust your ass. But you bust your ass on your own dime because UNWIND - BODY & MIND INC accepts this as our waiver of responsibility.
(Why it’s great)
Everything is connected, and reflexively, your feet are a representation of your entire body while other ways of thinking layer on the feet representing your past, energetically. I theorize the feet are well worth the cost of pampering and professional attention. My friend owns an amazing new place downtown, called Sarahndipity in Hobart. (Go check them out - they’re the beeeest)
So! By purchasing this service, you waive any claim against Unwind - Body & Mind Inc., or Chicago Health & Fitness for what you do or how you may hurt yourself while using this piece of equipment (or any others you may use).
*Access Included in Level 2 Membership
Vibration plate goes through an entire cycle of various speeds.
Improves stability, hip and back mobility, it’s great for lymph movement digestive stimulation, loosens tense muscles, and most importantly to me - the vibration helps to process any old traumas from the body tissues in a quick, non-thought-provoking manner. The best part is the 10 seconds right after it stops when your whole body tingles.
*Included in Level 1 Membership
*5 minutes Included in at the start of every full bodywork or hypnosis session while we acquaint ourselves
*3 minutes each before, during or after each class, time-permitting

Comfrey is densely infused into olive oil and then a gauze is soaked and placed on the afflicted area. In the case of the poultice, the herbs and oil are placed on the body to set in under a covering and heated with hot stones or a heating pad to help the healing oil penetrate into the skin as it is our biggest organ and absorbs the properties through prolonged, direct contact.
*Included in Level 2 Memberships
Lay back on a yoga mat with your legs slightly elevated, ankles resting onto a machine that sways from side to side at varying speeds.
Faster is not better, each speed focusing on a different area of the back, while improving lymph movement and restoring healthy energy flow, while moving out blockages. That’s why they call some the Chi Machine. The best part is the 10 seconds after it stops when your body tingles.

First you will learn to play the “tools,” the instruments. Quickly learn the basics of how to play the gong, singing bowls, tuning forks, and others without annoying the person next to you. Quick & easy instruction goes a long way and then you take turns being on the table for a mini session, while the rest of the group plays an instrument while you’re on the table.
Usually by the 3rd person, everyone hits their groove, and it becomes a magical experience for everyone involved.

We will frequent the vibration plate, learn to give and receive basic techniques to help process emotions from the body that often are at the root of the inability to "let go" of the weight. You will journal through your process & gradually change habits and redefine how you look at food, your body, and your immediate environment.
Begin with a quick tip to help you process emotions and then lay back while you listen to the relaxing sounds of the gong and other sound-healing tools like the singing bowls, tuning forks and more.
Transformative - let your mind go on a journey.
