Services
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage sessions use trauma-informed techniques to address chronic pain, muscle tension, and postural imbalances. This holistic approach combines deep-tissue work with Reiki energy healing to promote physical recovery and emotional well-being. Clients benefit from customized treatment plans that adapt to individual needs, with documented success in sciatic nerve pain relief and Long COVID symptom management.
Reiki Healing
Reiki sessions facilitate energetic balance through light touch or non-contact techniques, supporting physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Practitioner Molly Coeling integrates this modality with massage therapy while offering standalone sessions for remote clients. The practice emphasizes direct experience over religious affiliation, with benefits including stress reduction and accelerated post-surgical recovery.
Somatic Trauma Healing

This approach focuses on present-moment awareness rather than past events, incorporating breathwork, body-based techniques, and energy healing. Sessions are available both in-person and remotely, serving clients with anxiety, depression, and complex trauma histories.

Report
I've seen Molly for massage therapy for years. Since massage isn't possible for a while (#stayathome), I scheduled my first distant reiki session. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the session ended exactly as I'd hoped: Feeling a greater sense of peace and more grounded than I have since our collective daily upheaval began. Definitely time (and money) well spent.

Molly is WONDERFUL! Sitting at a desk, working long, long hours=MESSED UP BODY. Molly always knows just where I need help and fixes the issues with her magic! An hour with her is great, but 90 minutes is FABULOUS. Just. Do. It. You won't regret it!

I have gone to Molly numerous times for deep tissue and sports massages. She is absolutely wonderful. I have been to a variety different massage therapists for sports and deep tissue massages and Molly is by far the best in Chicago. As a runner and athlete herself, Molly is familiar with the aches and pains that runners encounter. Monthly massages with Molly have helped me stay injury free while playing basketball, volleyball, and training for marathons and triathlons. I live in River North; however, it is definitely worth the 15-20 min commute to Lincoln Square. Very relaxing and rejuvenating
