Pulling Down the Moon - Chicago

Walking into Pulling Down the Moon, I was immediately greeted by Lisa, whose warm welcome set the tone for my fantastic experience at their Chicago location, surrounded by the calming and welcoming atmosphere. My therapeutic massage with Melissa was incredible! You could tell Melissa knew exactly what she was doing. She not only tackled the specific issues in my back and shoulders that we had talked about but also discovered some other tight spots I hadn't even noticed. I love getting knots worked out, and Melissa definitely delivered. She used the perfect amount of pressure, just like I asked. Throughout the session, she asked insightful questions to make sure she was targeting the right areas. Afterward, Melissa gave me some helpful tips to keep my shoulders and rotator cuff mobile until my next massage. Overall, my experience at Pulling Down the Moon was fantastic. I would go back and get another massage from Melissa in a heart beat!

Pulling down the moon is an incredible place. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for about 5-6 months before I started coming here to see Patrick. I saw him almost every week for about 4 months and am now 37 weeks pregnant, expecting a little girl very soon. I still see him while pregnant, at first to help keep my hormones regulated for growing the baby, and then to help with the very uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms and preparing for birth. Patrick was an incredible advocate for me and my health the entire four months TTC, providing not only his acupuncture expertise, but also providing encouragement and health care/herb tips for sleeping, eating, and women’s health in general. The journey to conceive, as many women know, is very a sad, frustrating, and dismissive one. But Patrick was like a light, never dismissive, and always someone to look forward to seeing on the harder weeks. I’d highly HIGHLY recommend pulling down the moon if you are struggling with infertility or any type of women’s health (PCOS, endo, etc.).

Thank you! My prenatal massage with Victoria was great. I’ve had 2 massages at pulling down the moon. There was a little hiccup with hallway noise during my first massage but pulling down the moon was wonderful my second time around. Serene and relaxing massage with a special cutout table for prenatal massages. Victoria used specific elevated pillows to make sure I was comfortable by placing them under my hips when I was face down and then using a wedge when I turned around to lay on my back. Great massage! Made me feel comfortable, the meditation/relaxing music was nice. Quick and easy check-in. Tea and water station available. Plenty of metered street parking available. I’ll be back.
