Krysia Schwab, Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master

Krysia Schwab is a licensed massage therapist certified by the NCTMB, licensed by the State of Illinois, and a member of the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association).  She also holds her Reiki Mastery Certificate.

Growing up in Dublin, Ireland, Krysia was surrounded by Holistic healers and spiritual people.  Her mother and Aunts received acupuncture treatments while her grandmother relied heavily on herbal supplements and remedies to help cope with diabetes.  From an early age, she learned to deal with ailments and stress through nutrition, meditation, and energy healing.  She received her first Angel and Reiki treatments at an early age from her Aunt Pauline, a Reiki Master and Krysia’s current mentor.  It was this same aunt who noticed Krysia’s natural intuition, empathy, and ability to heal and encouraged her to seek out a healing program. 

Krysia then attended the Sanctuary School of Massage Therapy and Energy Healing.  She graduated in 2005 as the class Valedictorian, was awarded with the Dean’s Award for exemplary performance, and received her certificate in the Reiki Mastery Program.  She is also certified in several other healing arts, including Reflexology, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Hot Stone Therapy, and Deep Tissue Massage.  She continues to advance her studies, including a focus on prenatal massage.

A strong spiritual understanding guides Krysia through her life.  Although educated in Christian schools, she was heavily influenced by her Celtic heritage and its culture of healing, spirituality, and reliance on intuition.  At a very young age she visited the spiritual grounds of Stonehenge, Druid’s Circles, and Newgrange.  She was also introduced to Buddhism and other Eastern religions by her father, who studied in India and brought home stories of Eastern philosophies, culture, diet, and art. 

Understanding the importance of working mind as well as body, Krysia incorporates relaxation techniques, spiritual guidance, and massage therapy to help clients deal with chronic pain.  Besides the physical relief it can bring, massage therapy and energy healing can have a major impact on emotional symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem.  She has found that long term healing and happiness, for both her and the client, can be attained through Holistic avenues.
