Gage Aldridge
Massage Therapist
Welcome all! I’ve been called many things, a body healer, a clinical therapist, a father, and a friend. But I go by Gage.
I graduated from Cortiva Institute in Joliet as a high honor student. It is one of the few schools that put a heavy emphasis on anatomy, physiology, pathology, and kinesiology. I have worked alongside chiropractors, acupuncturists and physical therapists - taking in their expertise and integrating it into my own practice.
My main focus of bodywork is Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Sports, and Myofascial work. I also specialize with Cupping, Scraping, Plantar Fasciitis, Foot Reflexology, Frozen Shoulder Syndrome, Forward Head Posture, Tech Neck, Aromatherapy, Endocannabinoid/Cannabinol Healing and Contrast Therapy. I’ve helped heal a long list of ailments with my clients and create a bridge between you and the many questions you may have about your body. My mission is to provide optimal healthcare and wellness through touch. I value the community and learning about the conditions of others health. To live through each day, with creativity and success, so that it gives me peace of mind knowing my healing hands helps others. Ultimately, I appreciate and enjoy seeing smiles return to me with gratification.
Soon, I will be providing fitness training and nutrition consultations once I am certified to create the ultimate self-care for others and to improve all aspects of the human condition. My goal at the end of our sessions is to give you the knowledge and care to manage a healthy living on your own. The less you see me, the more I know you’re doing better for you.
When I’m not providing care for others, you might catch me singing karaoke and shaking it on the dance floor. I have a passion for fire arts that I enjoy performing for friends and family.

Hey there! I’m Guadalupe, and I’m thrilled to bring the healing art of massage therapy to Kankakee County right here at Limber. I’ve been on this journey since graduating from the prestigious Soma Institute in 2012, constantly expanding my skills and refining my approach based on invaluable client feedback.

Whatever your body requires, I’m here to ensure you leave feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Beyond the massage table, I love exploring my creative side through painting and drawing, and I’m always up for experimenting with new recipes. When the sun’s out, you can find me and my kids soaking up nature at different parks, hitting the beach, or bonding over our favorite sports.

Chelsea Heikes
Ayurvedic Practitioner/ Sound Healing Therapist/ Yoga Instructor
Chelsea has studied yoga, meditation, and holistic health since she was 15-years-old. The story of the Buddha’s life, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, sent her down a rabbit hole in 10th grade and she has been on this path ever since. At age 23, she went to live in a Tibetan Buddhist temple as a work study volunteer for a summer. What started as a summer of learning to make clay statues of the Buddha for bronze casting, turned into two years dedicated to self-inquiry through Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, psychology, meditation, yoga, and something called tong len (similar to reiki).
Chelsea is certified to teach Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin and Restorative yoga modalities and considers each to be necessary “medicine” for wellbeing. Her weekly classes at Limber combine restorative opening and closing postures with alignment of Ashtanga and the flow of Vinyasa. Her 200 hr YTT was done in 2013 in the Bay Area at Flying Yoga studios under Laura Camp, which was a studio that combined her love of Vinyasa and aerial arts. Around this time she received levels 1 and 2 Reiki attunement and did training to be a Mindfulness Coach. While living in Oakland, CA, she taught yoga to both adults and children, as well as Mindfulness classes, garden and forest classes for children, and self care workshops for caregivers. In 2017, she began her Master's degree program in philosophy in Saas Fee, Switzerland and began spending less and less time in the Bay Area.
She is also an Expert Level certified Sound Healer as well as a certified Ayurveda Practitioner, and certified in AromaTouch Technique through doTERRA. She is currently working on her 500 hr YTT with Janet Stone in San Francisco and her "Master Level" Reiki attunement.
Chelsea offers the following services:
Private yoga, up to 4 people, any modality ($100 for 1 hour)
Private sound bath, up to 4 people ($50 for 30 minutes / $100 for 1 hour)
