Massage Testimonials
"Nikki Yarnell gives a massage that carries you to a world of profound rest and relaxation in the busiest city in the world. She is thorough yet responsive to the client's needs and she is never 'in a rush.' I found both the massage and the experience of altered time in her presence rejuvenating."

"I have had a lot of massage in the past, and being a physical therapist, I think I am a pretty harsh critic of hands-on tissue work. Nikki's massage was one of the best I have ever experienced. Not only was she extremely professional, but her intuitive touch felt very therapeutic. I will definitely be a continuous client of Nikki's."
- Ben Gold, Physical Therapist and Rehabilitation Specialist, Home Physical Therapy
"As a physical therapist I spend my days taking care of others, so when I am getting a massage I am very picky about who I get my massages from. Nikki Yarnell is the right person to pick. She has all the qualities that you would look for in a massage therapist. I will break it down into different categories. Her communication skills are great. She asked me about where my areas of interest were and my desired pressure. She listened to what I said and followed my instructions perfectly without having to ask for a change in pressure. Her manual skills are impeccable. I found myself almost falling asleep a couple of times from the complete mind-body relaxation. Not only did her technique seem effortless she also has firm powerful hands capable of adjusting from a light to a firm touch. A massage from Nikki would be a great gift for a loved one or just for your own desire to feel relaxed."
-Ross Pirowskin, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Ross Physical Therapy
"I have chronic tight shoulders and usually massage therapists never apply enough pressure. Nikki was perfect! Don't let her small size fool you, she can be STRONG! I can still feel the positive effects the day after and it's great. The best thing? She'll come to you! So if you need a real massage, contact Nikki!"
- Dr. Serena Ma, Acupuncturist and Naturopathic Doctor, Serenity Natural Health
"Nikki is an excellent massage therapist. She massaged my husband after he ran the NYC marathon. As a result, he recovered much faster than he anticipated. I also hired Nikki for a massage and found her to be very professional and very attentive to my individual needs."
- Jessica Newshel, Pilates Instructor, Pilates Girl
"Being a dancer takes a toll on your body. From the flexibility to the demanding schedule, performing as a musical theatre dancer is physically draining. By the same factor, it is important to take care of our instrument, our body, so our work can be both artistically fulfilling and long-lasting. Nikki is extremely conscious of the demands placed on our body. She massages with just the right amount of pressure and is very attentive to any previous injuries. I trust her to keep my body strong and healthy. After my massage therapy session with Nikki, I feel like I'm floating on clouds. To all my fellow dancers, I give Nikki two thumbs up for her professionalism, attention to detail and kindness."
- Taylor H. M., dancer, "Beauty and the Beast" National Tour
