Dr. Yvette (E-vet) Karea (Kah-Ray) Clay has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2009 (Graduate of Chicago School of Massage Therapy - Cortiva Institute). She has a Bachelors of Science degree in Marketing-Sales from Badley University in 2007; Acupuncture Certification in 2023 from Midwest College of Oriental Medicine - Skokie, IL and her Doctorate of Acupuncture in 2023 from Pacific College of Health and Science- San Diego, CA. **Please note that the term Licensed Massage Therapist is the most correct. Masseuse, massage parlor & massage bed are terms used as a cover for prostitution. It is best to avoid offending your therapist by calling them a masseuse. Solicitation of sexual favors will not be tolerated and is a Class 4 felony. All offenders will be reported to law enforcement.** Dr. Clay has assisted in the recovery of patients engaged in all levels of physical activity. She has an extensive clinical background having worked with chiropractors for much of her massage therapy career. Some time was also spent working a full service gym and wellness center. Her career experience allows for a more in depth consultation and treatment plan to best suit your needs. Whether you receive acupuncture or massage therapy, communication is also maintained throughout the session to aid in wellness and recovery. Thyme In Massage Chicago, LLC's mission is to help patients improve and maintain their state of total body wellness. The philosophy of 'pain equals gain' is NOT practiced at Thyme In Massage Chicago, LLC. Instead, the philosophy of listening to the patient's' body and working with the patient to have an effective, positive session is practiced. Pressure is applied based on how the patient's' body responds to the techniques applied.
