Welcome to Emre's Massage Practice! I am a licensed massage therapist in IL, a certified massage therapist in CA and a member of ABMP. I have completed the 600-hour massage therapist program at the San Francisco School of Massage in September 2023 and a 177-hour Traditional Thai massage training at International Training Massage (ITM) School, Chiang Mai, Thailand in February 2024. Alongside my private practice, I provide massage therapy services through Soothe, also hold a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering and work as a Senior Computer Scientist at SRI International, Menlo Park, CA.
In my practice, my goal is to provide you with a relaxing and rejuvenating experience that nurtures both body and mind. With a focus on holistic wellness, I offer a range of massage services adjusted to meet your individual needs. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day, relieve chronic pain, or simply treat yourself to some much-needed self-care, I am here to help. Each session is personalized to address your specific concerns, using a combination of techniques designed to promote health and relaxation.
