Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

I recommend Niema to everyone!

I loved my session with Niema, and now a few days after, I can still feel the openness and freedom in my legs and hips. Her presence is deeply soothing, caring and I appreciate her openness to feedback as we worked. I felt safe and cared for. She has wise hands and blends intuitive touch with a strong understanding of body functionality and anatomy. The space is also beautiful, smells amazing and I enjoyed the sweet afternoon sunlight drifting in. Thank you for such great bodywork!! ??????
Loved the focus, skill and presence.

Niema is a wellspring of healing nourishment. Her intuitive wisdom and educational knowledge create a nurturing session that always leaves me feeling rejuvenated and more at peace in my body.
Niema takes the time get to know you and really address problems.

Niema is thoughtful and creative with her approach to bodywork. I leave feeling both heard and deeply cared for as all parts of my health and well being are being considered in my treatment. Thank you Niema!
Niema's care of my body was exquisite. Working with multiple injuries, she was still able to provide deep healing, release and new, more integrated pathways for my body. Thank you, Niema.

Niema is a gift! Her bodywork helped me move through and release some old energies, reset, and find renewal in my life! Her presence, words and skill are divinity embodied. I feel privileged to have had this experience. <3
Niema's presence is immediately welcoming. Her soft presence makes it easy to feel safe and open up. Although her technique is nurturing, she is also direct and focused. Her knowing touch is therapeutic, exactly where it's needed. She meets each muscle with deep listening, giving it exactly what it is calling out for. The body and energy healing she offers is simultaneously relaxing, rejuvenating, and integrative. I highly recommend Niema for all of your massage needs.
