About

Personalized hands-on care to support better movement, recovery, and overall well-being.

An Individualized Approach to Care

Your treatment is guided by your concerns, assessment findings, and goals. Depending on the service and your individual needs, sessions may address muscles, fascia, joints, and other soft tissues, with techniques selected and adapted specifically for you.

Awesome Feature

At Balance Therapy and Wellness, we provide personalized hands-on care based on your individual needs, goals, and activity level. Our services include Clinical Manual Therapy for musculoskeletal concerns, Sports Massage Therapy for active adults and athletes, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage for lymphatic wellness and appropriate post-surgical recovery support.

Our approach begins with listening and understanding what brings you in. Sessions are individualized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all routine, with treatment adapted to your areas of concern, movement needs, comfort, and goals.

Booking, Cancellation Policy, Fees & Rules

We understand that unexpected situations can arise. To provide each client with dedicated appointment time, we ask that you review and respect the following booking and cancellation policies.

Appointments
All sessions are scheduled in advance, and we are unable to accommodate walk-in appointments at this time.

New Clients
If you are visiting Balance Therapy and Wellness for the first time, please contact us to arrange your initial appointment. We will complete a brief, confidential consultation to gather your contact information, review relevant health information, discuss your needs, and determine which service is most appropriate for you.

Appointment Deposit
A credit card and a $60 deposit are required to reserve an appointment. The appointment deposit is non-refundable.

Cancellations & Rescheduling
We require at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 48 hours' notice are subject to a charge for the full amount of the scheduled appointment.

Payment
A credit card is required to guarantee all reservations. At checkout, clients may choose their preferred method of payment. A credit card processing fee applies to credit card payments.

Established Clients
Established clients may schedule appointments by phone, text, or email.

By scheduling an appointment, you acknowledge and agree to these booking and cancellation policies.

No-Shows

Appointments that are missed without prior cancellation or notice will be considered a no-show. No-shows will be charged the full amount of the scheduled service.

Late Arrivals

If you arrive late, your session may need to be shortened so that appointments scheduled after yours can begin on time. The full price of the originally scheduled service will still apply.

For a 60-minute appointment, arriving more than 30 minutes late will be considered a no-show, and the appointment may no longer be provided. The full scheduled appointment fee will apply.

We appreciate your consideration for your therapist and other clients and encourage you to arrive on time.

Check-In

Please plan to arrive approximately 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment, particularly if you need time to complete paperwork or prepare for your session.

Appointments must end at their scheduled time to avoid delaying the next client. If a late arrival results in a shortened session, the full price of the scheduled service will still apply.

Prices & Services

Prices, services, and availability at Balance Therapy and Wellness are subject to change. We encourage clients to review current service options and pricing when scheduling an appointment.

I was in town for a week and found Maya when searching for therapists around Evanston that can do MLD massage. She had an opening for me that worked with my limited schedule. I have gotten MLD massages before and I was very impressed with Maya’s approach and technique. I’ve never felt so relaxed after MLD before! After the massage, she gave me some fantastic advice to help a few things that I am dealing with. I appreciate her expertise and passion, and I will absolutely rebook with her next time I am in town. Thank you, Maya!!

Great spot for massage. Got a deep tissue massage. That's probably the best massage parlor in Evanston and Maya is a great masseuse.

Maya is amazing! I had been suffering from back pain for over a week and needed to get back to golfing and exercising. Luckily for me, Maya was able to fit me in the day I called. After an hour and a half appointment which included an hour and a quarter massage, I felt like she addressed every sore and tight part of my body. I left the appointment feeling great while acknowledging her advice that I might experience soreness for 48 hours. Knowing that I was taking a risk, I headed directly for the driving range where I felt significant soreness and stiffness in the area of my back Maya treated. After 10 minutes of stretching and gentle practice swings, I started hitting golf balls. At first, my shots were abysmal, but as I continued to practice, my shots improved and all soreness disappeared. I’m not sure if the 2 ibuprofen tablets I took when I arrived at the driving range helped, but I can honestly say that almost four hours later I still have no pain or stiffness, and I look forward to 18 holes of golf tomorrow morning with great positivity. Thank you Maya! I will be back for preventative care!

Maya is an amazing massage therapist. I have recently taken my mom to her for some well needed relaxing massage. May went above and beyond - she didn’t just simply perform the massage on my mom, she also coached her about her posture, gave her several props for free that mom can use at home and shared websites where mom could continue to understand how to better her posture and health. Above all, in one hour spent together, mom and Maya connected so well as if they had known each other for years. That made mom at ease having her massage (she typically is quite worrisome by someone unknown touching her :)). Thank you, Maya. We highly recommend you to anyone who is of need of massage and education for better personal health.

We love visiting Maya! Her skills are beyond amazing. Either for my shoulders, or my husband’s back, she is great in fixing your body. Not to mention that everything is very clean, we love the oils and lotions she works with! That was a big plus for us! We highly recommend her for either relaxing or terapheutical massage!

Maya is the best massage therapist I have ever had. I have used her services for many years now and what makes her stand out is really her personable approach and the importance of results for her - she asks a lot of questions before she starts working with you so she can understand what is the best massage therapy for your body. Also, when in town my mother always schedules appointment/s with Maya as well.
