Creating Balance Wellness | Elizabeth Grooms

Elizabeth is a wealth of nutritional and wellness knowledge!

She is current on updated thinking around nutrition. She uses her perspective as mother to encourage a plan that is compatible with nursing mothers. Elizabeth emphasizes gradual change that results in new healthy habits. I worked with Elizabeth just a few months after having a baby and she helped me get on track by cutting out foods I was eating that were not making me feel good and were not nutrient rich. She pointed me to resources, including lots of great recipes. She was also very helpful in talking through my routine for meal planning. As a full time working mom of two, I never thought I'd be able to fit in meal planning but I have!

My coaching with Elizabeth was wonderful! It was a real eye opener. She started by assessing my Chakras, and from there we went into an enlightening conversation about my health as well as my personal and professional goals. She then finished the session with some energy work. Elizabeth was thorough and so kind. It is clear she loves what she does. I look forward to working with her again soon!

I keep coming back to Elizabeth because over time we have built up a relationship where she knows my body and what I need when I come in. Going to her studio is always very relaxing, partly because Elizabeth is very understanding about your body and your mood. I’m glad I found an excellent massage therapist that makes getting a massage easy!

My experience with Elizabeth was truly invaluable, as the practice treats the whole person, as oppose to just one piece of the puzzle.

I met with Elizabeth during a unique time, as I was experiencing concerns about energy and overall well being, but also preparing for fertility treatment. Her caring and thorough approach helped identify underlying problems. The suggestions offered were creative and effective! I really appreciated that extra care was given to making sure new ideas were practical and manageable in my lifestyle. She was extremely knowledgable about fertility treatment and special considerations for preparation, nutrition, and massage.

Elizabeth is an invaluable member of our community; I highly recommend scheduling some time with her for a massage, a nutrition consultation, or reiki. Her massage therapy is always tailored to my needs, and leaves me feeling refreshed and restored, physically, mentally, and spiritually!”

It's the first time I tried a Chakra assessment, and Elizabeth walked me through the whole process explaining what she was doing at every step. Her intuitiveness and ability to connect is evident in the way she works.

I have been with Elizabeth through my last two pregnancies and I am not sure how I would have made it through them without her help. I can't recommend Elizabeth enough.

I had pretty severe back problems during my second pregnancy and she was able to help me get my back healthy again. Elizabeth is more than just a great massage therapist and she takes the time to deeply get to know and care about her clients.

I was worried that after I had my daughter I wouldn't be able to get in to see her but she was flexible in her scheduling with me knowing that babies and feeding can be unpredictable. It was amazing. I even brought my twin girls to my session just a week after my last delivery.

Elizabeth was able to work on me and happily held a baby if they fussed during the session allowing me to get some much needed massage time and relaxation. I sent my husband to see Elizabeth as well and he is another happy client. I can't recommend her enough.

Elizabeth working on me was always the best part of my week!

She came to my house on Friday nights when I was pregnant because I had hip problems. Elizabeth gave me moderate deep tissue massage on my hip so that it would not ache and give out on me during the week. Her massage helped make my pregnancy manageable and lessened my body's aches and pains that go along with the 9 months of change.

After the baby was born, Elizabeth taught me how to massage my newborn. I learned infant relaxation techniques and ways to help my baby's digestive system. My postpartum massages lowered the stress of being a new mom by giving me time without the baby and time to focus on me and caring for my body. She helped me understand what my body had gone through and to appreciate my body's strength.

Elizabeth understands what your body goes through with pregnancy and helps your appreciate and value all the changes you are going through.

Elizabeth has worked with me for over three years, during and following two pregnancies and is, in no uncertain terms, a “master”

I have suffered from lower back and hip pain for many years and have relied heavily on regular massage therapy for relief. When I got pregnant, I was concerned about finding a therapist who could not only easily maneuver around my “odd-shaped” body but who understood the specific needs of expectant mothers. Fortunately, I was introduced to Elizabeth.

I have received hundreds of massages from many different therapists over the years and Elizabeth is the only one with whom I feel completely comfortable working during those important months. Her work brought me the relief I needed and I always knew I was being properly cared for.

Massage therapy helped make my pre and postpartum months especially pleasurable. I would highly recommend regular massages and would only recommend using Elizabeth.

Elizabeth has served as a gift to many a friend of late.

Back home in Chicago, uber holistic masseuse Elizabeth Nostvick massaged me at home from the fifth month until my due date. Elizabeth arrived armed with cozy flannel sheets, scented oils, and a backpack full of groovy new age music. What unparalleled comfort to waltz over to a massage table in my bedroom, snuggle into her sheets and offer my aching being to Elizabeth’s knowing hands! Lying on my side, Elizabeth focused on my legs, behind the hips and shoulders. She flipped me to my back to focus upon the scalp, arms, and stomach. Each massage delivered a hearty reparte with my tummy and made for a dreamy evening.

After beginning postpartum work with Elizabeth, there was a marked change in my physical, emotional and my rate of healing. She was a Godsend! I only wish I had met her during my pregnancy.

- DONNA POWERS BRANSON

Elizabeth not only has an excellent technique but also has a healing touch which makes the experience exceptionally therapeutic. I have been seeing Elizabeth for over two years, and have had many massages by many different therapists prior to meeting her, and her massages have been by far the most effective in healing my mind, body and spirit.
