Adding Bodywork and Expanding Hours on June 15
Phase Three of Chicago's reopening plan allows for us to start offering bodywork in a limited capacity. Beginning on Monday, June 15, we'll be offering 30 minute bodywork sessions. These appointments will be limited, as we can only offer one per hour to allow ample time for cleaning. Massage clients will be expected to wear a mask for the duration of their appointment.
We'll begin by offering bodywork by Nathan on Monday and Wednesday mornings and by Kate on Monday evenings. These 30-minute sessions are $55 and perfect for a quick nervous system shut down or to alleviate aches and pains.
We'll also be expanding our hours starting June 15 to allow for more acupuncture appointments and making community acupuncture bookable online again. Our new hours will be:
Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 6:30pm
Friday 8:30 - 2
Saturday 10 - 4
Please visit our booking site for our full schedule and offerings.
New Bodyworker
Five Point is excited to introduce our new bodyworker, Kate Fruchey, LMT. Kate completed her massage and bodywork training at McKinnon Body Therapy Center in Oakland, CA. While her practice is rooted in Swedish Massage and Craniosacral therapy, she utilizes a wide range of techniques in her sessions, including Acupressure, Reflexology and Tui Na, in order to best meet her clients’ needs.
As a practitioner, Kate has a deep appreciation for the effect that relaxation and touch have on our health and this informs all of her work, regardless of the techniques she is working with. Her goal is to bring awareness to her clients’ profound capacity for change and help them access their own inherent resources for health.
Kate is available Sundays from 12-6 and Tuesdays from 9-2. She is available for 60 and 90 minute massages beginning Sunday, December 4th. Book an appointment online, or email her at kate@fivepointholistic.com with questions.
