Natalija is just the best RMT ever. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, going over specifically tense sore spots more than once when she finds them. She’s strong and can really give deep pressure, but also knows when to back off. Can’t recommend her enough!!

Natalija is a wonderful massage therapist. She tailors pressure and movement based on how your body is feeling and she checks in with you during treatment. I always leave feeling loose and relaxed. Highly recommend!
