Hi, I'm Nissa. I honor your “you-ness” and believe in your body's innate wisdom. How does your body find freedom of movement and ease? What does it need to thrive? What does it need to heal? I'm here to listen and to hold space, so we can hear what your body has to say. Let's begin a conversation. Let's discover YOUU.

“There is one thing that, when cultivated & regularly practiced, leads to deep spiritual intention, to peace, to mindfulness & clear comprehension, to vision & knowledge, to a happy life here & now, & to the culmination of wisdom & awakening. And what is that one thing? It is mindfulness centered on the body.”
“I believe that the unity of mind and body is an objective reality. They are not just parts somehow related to each other, but an inseparable whole while functioning. A brain without a body could not think.”
Kind Words
“Nissa never gave a generic treatment; every session was customized to my specific needs. Another awesome thing is her genuine hospitality; she truly cares about your well-being and is interested in learning about the activities you are doing. In the end, I found not only an amazing massage therapist, but a friend as well. I was able to finish the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run with a 2 hour PR! I look forward to utilizing her services again in the future!”
“Booking an appointment with Nissa was the best decision I've made in a long time! Her vast knowledge of the body, and intuitive sense of your pain and where it comes from, is remarkable. She immediately makes you feel comfortable with her welcoming personality and has a great way of blending her expertise through both her massage work and her background in Active Release Technique.”
“Nissa is a very talented individual who is the constant professional with a passion for helping others. I am an active person that enjoys biking, golfing and hiking, but for 20 years lived with chronic lower back pain that was getting worse with no successful relief. After one visit, I experienced positive results with a significant improvement in my quality of life. I have continued going and have experienced amazing results. I highly recommend YOUU-NESS.”
“Nissa has such a powerful understanding of the body and was able to pinpoint the specific muscles that were causing my discomfort & worked on them with the perfect amount of pressure and care.”
“If you are in physical pain you need to see YOUU-NESS! I have been dealing with severe leg pain/sciatica for a long time and after going twice a week for the last four weeks I am healed! If I could give 10 stars I would, I seriously can't recommend them enough!”
“I've searched EVERYWHERE for a massage therapist. I can finally stop looking, Nissa is absolutely amazing at treating problem areas and has a natural gift of healing. Strongly recommend to anyone, but especially to those looking for a quality sports massage. Incredibly intuitive, a great conversationalist, and really effective treatment. I cannot recommend more!”
“Over the last year I've been hitting the gym aggressively, and managed to tweak my neck and shoulder badly. With an incredibly detailed and careful approach to my treatment, and in a matter of 4 sessions over 2 weeks, I was back to 100%. The attention to detail, ability to listen and interpret my feedback, and then dig into the problem was exactly what I needed.”
