Ki Massage & Bodywork

She is absolutely awesome! My shoulder has been bothering me for quite some time & she took great care of me. I will see her again & again. She was worth it.

Kimosha is outstanding. She takes the time to understand you and your body. She is intuitive. As she works over your body she uses her hands to take inventory and spends additional time and effort sorting out the worst areas. I’ve received at least 6 messages. Each massage has been at the same level of quality. Each time she used different techniques to address various issues with my body.
And especially pleasant aspect of kimosha’s service is the conversation. Kimosha has a cheerful, sing songy voice that soothes and cheers as you receive your massage. She’ll listen to your problems too. For me, I think she really has that connection with people that causes her to quickly become a valued friend. If you prefer quiet I’m sure Kimosha can accommodate that too. I think quiet limits the quality because the conversation reveals to kimosha where you are emotionally and helps produce a great message.
Don’t let the Hyde Park location deter you. Street parking is possible but annoying to me. I Park in a pay lot that is at 54^th and Lake Park. 5 dollars for 2 hours of parking. From there it’s a block long walk to her office. Easy. I’ve yet to not be able to park there.
If you are downtown or south suburbs consider metra electric. The 51^st/​53^rd (with a 53^rd street exit is about two short blocks from her office. There are plenty of restaurants and stores on 53^rd street to help you fill in the time as you wait for the train or your appointment.
Kimosha also has a location on the north side be near orleans and huron with easy street parking. You do have to pay but it is easy to find a spot. The cta Chicago stop on the brown line is two stops away.

Wonderful high-​quality massage, wonderful, humorous, vivacious personality, a great conversation, a very relaxing and refreshing experience. I will be back!

Kimosha is a professional and knowledgeable massage therapist. I’ve seen her twice and am scheduling a third visit for early February. I originally found her searching for local Hyde Park massage practices. So far I’ve found two great therapists but I prefer Ki because she isn’t afraid to go over an extra 5 – 10 minutes if necessary to finish the job, which is outright rare in this field where people book tight back-​to-​back schedules.
You can save money with a groupon or Unilocal deal seeing someone who crams massage appointments like sardines, but that is exactly the experience you are going to have, a rushed, unrelaxed, short (50 minute) appointment. Ki isn’t inexpensive, but she isn’t outrageous. You pay a little more, you get a little more.

Having tried out a few other Hyde Park places, I can say that this is the one I’ll be going back to.

Ki Massage & Bodywork is my new all-​time favorite place to get a massage in Chicago! I met Kimosha at the Whole Foods in Lincoln Park where she offers very affordable and very good chair massages. But I knew a 20 minute chair massage just wasn’t enough and went to see Kimosha for a 90 minute full body massage this past weekend. I had been experiencing intense pain in my shoulders and lower back and knew I had to get it worked on asap. Kimosha worked out every single knot and I left feeling quite literally like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. All the tension was completely gone! And not only is Kimosha great at what she does but she also has just the best aura about her– very calm and soothing– which is a big factor for me. I’ve had full body massages at a number of fancy day spas downtown but I never once met someone with this kind of positive, serene energy. Ki Massage & Bodywork is definitely a hidden gem in this town and I would highly recommend Kimosha if you’re looking for a really good, quality massage.
