Liz Roche, the visionary behind Centered Wellness, has been in the well-care space for over 20 years and is approaching her ninth anniversary in Northfield.  Back in 2000, armed with a finance degree and rose-colored glasses, Liz embarked on what should have been a successful finance career. However, she learned that a sit-down desk job was not the correct path, however exciting it appeared on paper. 

Liz became certified to teach Pilates in 2002 and earned her license to practice massage therapy in 2004. She received her Functional Diagnostic Nutrition certification in 2024 and a degree in hypnotherapy in December 2025.   

Liz is fascinated by the human experience and hopes to impact clients by understanding health concerns from a truly holistic perspective. Utilizing her education in physiology, biomechanics/movement, energy frequencies, and behavioral patterning, Liz is prepared to help you achieve your wellness goals.

At Centered Wellness, they aim is to support healing from the cellular level through the nervous system and into the soul, bringing lasting change and uncovering your truest self.

Centered Wellness is located at 1847 Oak Street. Learn more at www.lizroche.com or text them at 773-574-3917 to schedule an appointment. They look forward to meeting you!

Construction is currently underway on a water main improvement project along the west side of W. Frontage Road, approximately between the curve near Central Avenue and the south end of Fields. This project is part of the Village’s ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading critical infrastructure.

The $880,000 project will replace a section of water main that is more than 80 years old and has experienced repeated breaks over time. Once complete, the new water main will significantly improve water quality and system reliability for residents and businesses in the area. Construction is expected to take approximately six weeks, weather permitting, and may be extended if temperatures become too cold.

The work is being performed by Everlast Blacktop, an experienced water main contractor. Ciorba Consulting Engineers are overseeing the project on behalf of the Village to ensure quality and safety throughout construction.

Residents with questions or concerns related to this project are encouraged to contact Ilyass Rashidi, Ciorba Construction Engineer, at 773-355-2937.
