Biography

Aurelia Vaicekauskas is a practicing massage therapist and Ortho-Bionomy® Associate in Chicago and Westchester, IL. Her search for ways to help clients maintain health and retain the benefits of therapeutic bodywork led her to the Gokhale Method. Logical, simple, and effective, the Gokhale Method deeply resonates with Aurelia’s belief in the importance of creating and supporting a harmonious and safe environment in one’s body so that new injuries are avoided and the old injuries can heal.

Aurelia, who was born in Lithuania, studied painting and drawing at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago (BFA). She has always been drawn to exploring the inner workings of the human body, including its wisdom and ability to heal. These interests led her to massage therapy, Ortho-Bionomy, and the Gokhale Method. She is thrilled at how the Gokhale Method can flow into any activity and support order and balance inside and out. She loves experiencing this ease in her everyday life and wishes to share it with others.
