5 stars! Nick gives the best massage I've ever had- he gets in deep, but not too deep like some other folks use all elbows which I hate.

We were in Seattle on vacation and Nick came to our AirBnB. So awesome when you don't have a car, or don't want to drive immediately following a major massage. Back home, we regularly see a massage therapist, and we can assuredly say that Nick is awesome. He was quiet and focused for my husband, who isn't a big talker (especially when getting massages) and conversational with me (always yapping). The deep tissue work he did on our necks, hips, calves and backs was MAGICAL. Just what the doctor ordered. We were able to continue on with our ten mile daily walks on hard pavement and enjoy our getaway. Thanks Nick. We'll be calling you again to come see us our next time here in the big "S". read more

Wow. My husband and I booked Nick's "Thai Yoga Massage for Couples Class," and it's one of the the best investments we've made in our relationship in recent memory. We've been together 10 years and often trade massages for pain relief or quality time together, and have learned bits about good massage techniques through YouTube videos and trial and error over the years. But in a few hours, Nick gave us a loads more new tools and ways to give massage without straining the giver's body in the process. read more

Nick is a wonderful massage therapist with excellent knowledge. He's also just a great guy and makes you feel comfortable, welcomed and important. He makes an effort to see and get to know you and meet you where you're at so that every client has a great unique experience! Lizzie Sammamish, WA read more

Nick did a fantastic job using deep tissue massage to help my body recover from the damage I put it through via sports including snowboarding and cycling! Definitely the man to consider if you need help with sports recovery! read more

I came in to get some massage work done from Nick, he is very professional and really listened to me explain the pain I was experiencing in my back and shoulders. After we talked I got ready and got on the massage table. He really got into each spot we spoke about and helped me relax and feel better over all. The music he had playing was incredibly soothing and made my experience that much better. I highly recommend Nick and his magic hands to everyone. I know I'll definitely be back! read more

I am updating this review, not because I've gone forward with booking a massage, but because the owner of Drift took the time to write back and thoroughly investigate the issue with both Yelp and the website. If the error was due to technology, I can understand that completely, and appreciate the attention being given to this matter. Thank you, Nick. read more

Yesterday I suddenly found myself in a lot of lower back pain halfway through my workday and I worried that it would worsen. A client who witnessed my enfeebling suggested that getting a massage and cupping would help. I rarely get massages so I turned to Yelp to try to find an "emergency" massage therapist who might be available same day. After several unsuccessful attempts I was lucky to find Drift. Nick was willing to see me that night at 8:30(!) do to both cupping and massage, after a dinner with friends no less! He showed up promptly and got to work. After 90 minutes, my pain was significantly reduced and I felt relief and relaxed. Although I love massage, I rarely feel satisfied after a session. However I really felt awesome after our session and so so grateful he could see me same day. Plus I got to shower and go right to bed after! So great! Thank you, Nick! read more

Got pains? Nick will fix you right up! I have had a compound injury affecting my IT bands/hamstrings/buttocks/sciatica and he has worked miracles on my body. He not only releases the knot, he also finds knots that I didn't even know I had!! Nick is seriously great at his craft, and he takes self-care to the next level. I have seen MANY massage therapists over the years, and he is the first to test my range of motion to see where my body is holding tension so he can develop his action plan. He plays whatever tunes you ask for to get you relaxed, and goes to work on all your aches and pains. His office spot is conveniently located right above the University Station lightrail, and just across the hall from Starbucks. Contact Nick to get your massage and start feeling better!! read more

I went here for the first time to try Thai massage. Nick made me feel comfortable right away, asking about symptoms and health history. I mentioned my neck stiffness and frequent headaches. The massage was intense but in a good way. I did feel sore afterward but kind of expected it. So 2 weeks go by and I go back. He asks me about my headaches and I suddenly realize I haven't had any since I saw him. Not one. And they were so frequent I kept advil by my bed for when they woke me up at night. I knew I felt better, more range of motion in my neck... but the headaches were just gone. I highly recommend Nick. The location is easy to get to downtown and pleasant. read more

Just got out of my first session with Nick for a deep tissue massage - and it was excellent. My back and shoulders already feel much better. Nick was on time, and incredibly professional. Before beginning the session we went over all my problem areas, and he focused extra attention on those spots, and alleviated much of my pain. I've been frustrated in the past with some other massage therapist who say they do deep tissue massage, but in reality it feels like mid-tissue at best. Nick is clearly experienced, and I'll certainly be calling again! read more

Incredible! I've had a shocking number of bad massages over the years, then got super spoiled with cheap ocean front massages in Thailand..... Where would I go from here? Nick is a savior. My body was in pain after several weekends in the mountains. It hurt to sit at the desk, especially stiff neck and shoulders. Nick showed up and performed his magic at just the right intensity to both be relaxing and therapeutic. The difference I immediately felt was shocking. Thanks, Nick! read more

Nick is a true healer!! After over a month of back and shoulder pain, despite weeks of chiropractic treatment, and one steroid shot, I decided to give therapeutic massage a try. One session of Thai massage with Nick and I am pain-free and have total range of motion back in my shoulder! I can't express the relief of being released from that pain! I will definitely be seeing Nick regularly for on-going therapy. Two very relaxed thumbs waaaaaaay up! read more

Traveled here from FL, a nice long and uncomfortable Flight! Nick was responsive, showed up on time- and really listened to my need areas. One of the best massages I have had this year, and I typically get at least 2 per month. I am soooooo glad I called. Now I will look forward to my trips to Seattle, at least the knowledge that I can have a true professional alleviate the pain of air travel! Thanks Nick!!!! read more

NIck's great! My husband and I booked sessions this past Saturday with him. He was on time, attentive and thorough. The massage helped alleviate some of my chronic lower back and hamstring issues, and relieved a lot of stress and tension in my husband's upper back & shoulders. I only wish we still lived in Seattle; we would absolutely see him again! read more

Was in town for a conference and decided very last minute that I needed a massage. I found Drift on Yelp and sent him a message to check his availability. He responded within minutes that he had time for me today. The location is easy enough for most downtown hotels (but he does mobile too if your in need of that). The space is small but roomy enough to get the job done and generally pleasant. Real talk, the massage was so great, that he could be based out of a urine soaked alley filled with graffiti and construction noises and I would be chomping at the bit for a rebook. My point? Stop reading and book him already. I got a sports massage and he did such a fantastic job working on my trouble spots that I was sad for it to end. He's also fairly priced for the services rendered. I don't generally like to overly heap praise as it comes off as fawning but this guy is a shaman of tight muscles. Go already. read more

He's in the flow! Strong rock climbing hands and wizard like energy are in constant motion. I've seen a lot of massage therapists, and appreciate Nicks expertise, constant fluid motion, and attention to detail. I've left both times feeling relaxed and reinvigorated. read more

I wish there were 50 stars I could give Nick. I don't know where to start; this was absolutely the BEST massage I have ever had. I suffer from sciatica, torn rotator cuff and many other physical ailments. Nick uses a technique that I have not had in the past. At first, I didn't think I was going to enjoy the massage, 5 minutes in, and I was sold. Not only is he polite, professional, and friendly, he is fantastic at his profession. If you need a massage, even in these crazy times; you MUST call him! read more

I have been to Nick three times for my chronic leg pain. Nick has worked his magic with his Thai massages! The effects have been far better than the Physical Therapy I have been doing for the past year! I will be going back for sure! I highly recommend Nick if you are in need of a good massage. read more

Nick is always thorough checking range of motion and addressing problem areas. He is close to University light rail and other public transportation. He has helped free up my neck, where I have had issues driving and checking behind me. read more

Nick is a great massage therapist. He arrived on time which is always a huge plus for me. He is professional, thorough and massages both sides of the body, including the face, jaw, toes and even the ears. Some therapists overlook those parts. He massages with the perfect amount of pressure and maintaines it throughout the entire session. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends. It's also a huge perk that he comes to your location. read more

I had a neck pain for the last 3 days, Nick managed to realign my neck and shoulders in a 20 min session. Forever grateful! I totally recommend him! read more

Butter...melting....slowly.....sleepy, feels good massage!! Seriously can't get better than this! Nick is the zen master, he's the thai master...he's good at what he does!!! Don't give anyone else any thought....go Drift!! read more

Nick was able to release all of my tension. He has magic hands! He set up the table in my yard and worked on me and my housemate. We were both very impressed. Getting as massage in nature is amazing. I am looking forward to more sessions! read more

Had a stellar massage today. Very grateful. Feeling more at ease and relaxed... Nick is professional, kind, smart and talented. Highly recommended!! read more
