Nick Talbot BS, LMT, CLT. Lymphatic Drainage & Myofascial Release Practitioner

After having years of sinus issues in my teens and 20s, I realized I had to be my own advocate to improve my health naturally through diet and Holistic remedies. After feeling the improvement in my health, I decided to pursue the field to help others.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, 2009.

I then completed my Licensed Massage Therapist (2016) program and later became a Certified Lymphatic Therapist, (LMT, CLT), to work with those with advanced health issues.

I have also completed training and certifications in Myofascial Release and Dermo-Neuro Modulation, which can allow the body to release past trauma and ease tension of nerve endings near a joint. These modalities can ease some chronic conditions that conventional massage or deep tissue does not address. Allowing the central nervous system to calm and having a different approach with these manual modalities, these therapies can enhance the body to heal more effectively with quality results.

I also have an interest in Yoga, hikes in the woods, occasional travel and time with family and friends in the area.
