Meet Venise Valdovinos, LMT
Venise joins our practice with years of massage experience after working with a variety of different patients, including individuals of all ages, cancer patients, professional athletes including the Chicago Bears, and beyond!
We couldn’t be happier to have her as a part of her team. As Venise says, one of her favorite parts about working with patients is that she’s able to help them meet their goals, whether it’s to overcome pain or simply feel better and less stressed.
Professional Journey
Venise began her professional career as a nursing assistant, working with a variety of patients. Later, her career took her into nursing homes, where she had the opportunity to work closely with Physical Therapists and take their recommendations to her own residents, helping them improve their range of motion and activity levels. It was then that she saw the power of gentle touch and natural health firsthand.
Venise decided that she wanted to learn more about massage therapy, and obtained her license. Before joining our team, she worked as a massage therapist in hospitals, helping cancer patients, stressed hospital employees, and even high-risk pregnant mothers.
Venise obtained her BS in Health Science from Rush University after seeing how beneficial her work was to her patients. She believes that knowledge is power, the kind of power she needs to help her patients thrive.

Outside of the Practice
