Galena business owner Theresa Young (LMT) , recently sat down with Galena Guide to discuss her massage & bodywork practice and her new main street location.  She is the owner of Sacred Sole Massage & Bodywork  located at 412 S Main Street (Suite 202) Galena, Il. 

GG: Can you please share with us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

Theresa: “I relocated to Galena from the Chicagoland area in 2009 after my 20-year marriage expired. Galena embraced me & my daughter, and it became the fertile ground for my dream seeds to bloom as my business Sacred Sole Massage & Bodywork. I am building what I have come to call my “GoodLife”.”

GG: How long have you been a professional massage therapist, and what initially drew you to it as a profession?

Theresa: “Massage therapy is my second career, and I have been dedicated to this work for five years now!  For many years, I had an interest in therapeutic bodywork, but it wasn’t until I relocated to Galena that I finally found the courage to enroll in a program and embark on this dream!”

GG: What are 2 things that you think people would be surprised to know about you?

Though I have designed my business Sacred Sole Massage & Bodywork to offer both Swedish (hands) massage as well as barefoot massage, it is the barefoot work that has evolved into my passion and lights my soul!”

GG: Thank-you Theresa for sharing with us, we wish you continued success!   This interviewer had the pleasure of experiencing one of Theresa’s massage sessions in person and it was a truly relaxing and rejuvenating treat. Theresa’s warm personality and attention to detail for each client’s needs is what makes her one of the best. According to Theresa, ” Massage is a way for many of us to create a pause in our lives…a sacred space where we give ourselves permission to reconnect with our inner selves, and to breathe, relax, and receive healing touch.” Her studio space is comfortable and inviting and has an easy to find Galena main street location.
