What can I say about Natalie.....only that she truly does have a gift of healing through her hands. I've been seeing her for years. It took me a long time to find her and I can say with the upmost confidence, she is the best. I work in the trades (construction) and my body takes a beating. Seeing Natalie regularly has kept me healthy and my body nimble. But what she has really helped me with was through my two pregnancies and postpartum. My body went through a lot of changes and Natalie was able to make my pregnancies as comfortable as possible. She's not a one trick pony. She customizes her massages based on what is going on with my body whether it be deep tissue, cupping, hot stones, or prenatal. She is simply amazing! Thanks Natalie. read more

You will walk in and strut out with her magical restorative treatment! read more

My husband and have been seeing Natalie weekly for more than 6 years. She is the best therapist. She is intuitive, skilled, professional, and at the best at her craft. Her deep tissue massage is the best. I have been seeing a massage therapist weekly for more than 20 years and have had a lot of therapists throughout the years. Her space is clean and serene. She is also just an incredible human being. read more

I have been having deep tissue massages since the early 2000's - first in Seattle and then on and off in Pasadena as I tried to find the "right" one. Natalie is it. I have been seeing Natalie weekly since 2019 - I have two bulging discs - one in the neck and one lower back - she has been able to keep my pain manageable and allow me to continue to exercise, stretch, and enjoying hiking and biking with my family. Not to mention I feel taller when leaving! She always provides high quality service in a comfortable setting along with flexibility in scheduling and rescheduling as needed (With enough notice of course!!!). Deep tissue massage isn't for everyone, but my entire family goes consistently and the benefits are well worth it. read more

The truly best masseuse in the world. Her background in sports medicine really shows through as her massaging technique is absolutely fantastic and well based in knowledge of the body. Not only is she wonderful masseuse, but she is incredibly personable always remembering details about my life asking me about my day and also knowing when is best to just be quiet and relaxing I would never take my business anywhere else and I don't even live in California anymore. I'm telling you definitely go to Natalie for a massage! read more

Natalie is the by far, the best masseuse I have ever been to. She is professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable about different kinds of massage techniques. She takes the time to ask and understand what is happening with my body, and delivers therapeutic massage that is appropriate to my needs. Thanks Natalie! read more

I've been seeing Natalie for many years. Her massages work wonders since she knows just where the tension is and works through it. I always leave with my body feeling relaxed and calm. Natalie cares and is very professional. Her small but perfect massage room is peaceful and adds to the experience. read more

So this review is over due but I told her I'm scared of her getting too busy haha! Sorry I neeeed her in my life! Natalie was what I had been looking for in a masseuse for a looong time! My body was in so much pain, I couldn't take it anymore. Natalie was so nice, the fact that she cares about her work and clients well being made me even happier!! If you suffer from pain or you're an athletic that needs good work done on your body than she is the person! She is not the person if you're looking for a Swedish massage to relax that is not the kind of work she does. I recommend her 100% to the person that suffers from pain or needs good strong deep work done. read more

Wish I could give 10 stars. Natalie's space is warm and inviting, and she is professional, so knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at deep tissue/sports massage. I had a tremendous amount of built-up tension in my upper back and neck from being stuck at home working at a desk for 1+ year during the pandemic, and Natalie worked through all of the knots and allowed me to truly feel like I was in a new, restored body. She also was able to do amazing work on the inflammation in my legs so that I can safely train for a marathon. Could not recommend her more highly to anyone wanting a sports massage!!! read more

As a professional athlete, I am very picky about body work since I typically need a lot of pressure, combined with advanced knowledge of muscular structure. Natalie is everything I've been looking for in a massage therapist since moving to Los Angeles 11+ years ago. She is warm, inviting, professional & incredibly skilled at what she does. She often does a combination of deep tissue work along with cupping, & I leave feeling brand new each & every time. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

After looking for a regular masseuse I the area, I finally found her! Natalie is very professional, super sweet and not to mention gives the best massages! I originally heard of her through a friend that sees her regularly I can see why! Natalie found knots I didn't know I had, almost like she already knew my where my tension was already! I am so grateful to find her. If you are looking for a fancy spa with amenities, please go down the street to Burke Williams. But if you need a great massage, Natalie is your girl! read more

I'm a very active person. My body gets beat up 6 times a week. I've been getting massages for many years by various therapist. NOW, I FINALLY found my bodywork therapist. Natalie has been working on my body for 2 years now. She is amazing! She is very gifted with her hands,forearms and elbows. She knows her anatomy and mechanics of the body. She listens to me on what body parts are tight. She releases it and works on my fascia and deep tissue as well. I always look forward to getting my massage with Natalie. Don't wait too long to be in pain. See Natalie soon! Your body will melt. I like her place. The ambiance is nice, warm, cozy and it's clean :) read more

Natalie is the best masseuse in the Pasadena area and beyond! If you want the best massage you've ever had then you have to see Natalie. Her massages relieve the aches and pains of tight muscles and knots. You won't be disappointed. You'll be hooked! read more

I can't speak highly enough when it comes to Natalie and her techniques. I initially met Natalie because all other therapists that I tried were not strong enough to work out a knot that was deep in my IT band. Natalie soon became my knight in shining armor as she was the only one able to make improvements and eventually clear that knot. She gained my loyalty and all of my recommendations since. Make an appointment with Natalie. You won't regret it as she'll change your life. You'll never want to see any other therapist again. My only regret will soon be this review because word is going to spread how great she is. She will no longer have enough time to fit me into her busy schedule!! read more

Natalie is wonderful, very knowledgeable about what is causing the issue and where to focus her treatment. Uses exactly the right amount of pressure that you can handle to work the problem areas. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Natalie. read more

Natalie is one of a kind! If your looking for a deep tissue and sports massage Natalie is the one! She is great at what she does and always changes up the "focus area"of the massage depending on what I tell her is tight or what she feels is the most restricted. She cares and loves what she does l. She is quick to reply and it's super easy to schedule appts over the phone or via text. I always feel WAYYY better after our appt regardless if it's 60 or 90 mins!!! Perfect person to help you stay loose so you can go about your day pain free! read more

I decided to give Natalie a try based on Sam V's review. I am so glad that I did, because Natalie is awesome! As a girl, I really feel more comfortable getting worked on by another girl, but for the last 6 years, I've seen mostly male therapists because a lot of ladies just can't dig deep enough. Guess what? Problem solved, because Natalie has impressively strong hands. Natalie is very knowledgeable and is quick to observe muscular asymmetries and poor posture attributed to muscle imbalance. Once upon a time, I had to take anatomy against my will, so I have a decent understanding of body mechanics. I really needed my sternocleidomastoid (SCM) worked on. in the past, I've asked other massage therapists to work on my SCM, but most of them feel very timid about it and totally skip over it. Natalie took a quick glance at me and acknowledged that my left shoulder is adducted and my super tight SCM is pulling my head forward, perpetuating my chronic neck pain. Needless to say, Natalie's technique is wonderful; she was able to untangled my SCM (the area next to the airway & above the clavicle) without making me cry uncle! Natalie gave me one of the best massages ever. read more

One of the BEST MASSAGES I've ever had! Natalie is a true professional. She customizes her massages to suit each individual client (it's not a menu item or a one size fits all). I floated out of my massage with her. First time with her and I will definitely be back! Reasonably priced with top tier service! Thanks Natalie! read more

Natalie Is a great masseuse! I had a so many knots in my back she was able to knead them out. It is not the most relaxing massage because I know my muscles really needed the kneading but at night I slept like a baby! I definitely recommend her. Her space is tidy, clean, and comfortable! read more

I have to start out by saying I searched high and low for a good massage therapist. I tried over a dozen people before using Natalie. I carry awful tension on my shoulders and back and Natalie's strong hands do wonders to it. I've had previous massage therapists who are either too rough and will leave me in pain (the bad kind) or are way too gentle. Natalie has a firm hand without having to overuse her elbow to get the tension out. All in all, I highly recommend her. I've been seeing her for a couple of years now and I'm still so happy to get to use her as my massage therapist. read more

Ok can I give 10 stars and get hall-le-lew-yer!!!!! Holy gold fingers batman Natalie is by far the best therapist I have ever had. I'm a therapist myself for 16 years and from tons of experience, she is by far the best. So intuitive, perfect pressure, atmosphere is amazing... Wow. Client for life.. read more

Natalie was recommended to me by my trainer and I've never been disappointed. She is knowledgeable and skillful, and has admirably strong hands, which I particularly appreciate for getting at my many knots. I can't recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a good sport massage. read more

Best massage ever! Natalie was truly amazing. I've been in the spa industry for over 20 years and this is by far the best I've ever had. She was able to hit every spot on my body that was tight and full of tension. At the end she gave me a couple of stretches and moves for me to help keep my body limber and Loose until my next appointment.I'll definitely be going back for more. She has me hooked. read more

I found this great nearby place through Groupon. I have tried many different massage places and masseuses in the past and I have to say Natalie is probably one of the best I've had. Natalie is strong and she was able to knead many knots in my back. I liked the fact that she identified many knots on my back, especially shoulder and upper back and also gave me a tip on better stretching after weight lifting to avoid knots in future. I'm happy to found a very good place nearby and I am sure it would be my go-to place for Deep tissue massages in future. I highly recommend Natalie. Her space is clean and very comfortable! read more

Hands down the best massage I have ever had! My appointment with Natalie was like a combo of physical therapy & massage rolled into one. I opted for a deep tissue massage and her pressure was perfect & consistent from start to finish. I can't wait to tell everyone I know about this hidden gem in downtown Pasadena!! read more

I looooooved my massage with Natalie. It's so hard to find someone who can actually be deep and have a deliciously heavy hand. I'm pregnant and had some extreme tightness in some areas plus I have a chronic rhomboid issue, I was so happy with the quality of the massage. I requested hard and I got exactly what I wanted and needed, of course it hurt in a good way, but the relief I started having after was great, so much so I rebooked. read more

Natalie's bodywork is some of the best I've had and I have been getting massages regularly for many years. She understands the ideal pressure and technique to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Natalie is someone that I will continue to go back to and recommend highly! read more

I've been a client of Natalie's for nearly 3 years. She has the best hands! Her deep tissue massage is not for those looking for a gentle Swedish type massage. Her massages get into every knot and tight areas. I always look forward to seeing her. She's knowledgeable and just a great person. read more

Natalie is amazing!!!! The best deep tissue message I've ever had - she knows what she's doing!

I have tried many different massage places, masseurs and masseuses and I have to say Natalie is probably the best I've had, mainly because she is consistent. She consistently gives the best deep tissue massages. Natalie is very strong, and I like the fact that she knows how I like my massages without me having to remind her. In the past, I've had to deal with people who are not consistent and are not good with giving deep tissue massages. I'm so happy that I found Natalie. When she decided to start her own massage business I knew I wanted to go wherever she was. It's really difficult to find a great masseuse, especially for someone who is as picky as I am. I highly recommend Natalie. read more

I have been getting massages for many years and had the gamut of experiences. Natalie is exceptional, strong sensitive and has a great consistent touch. Been twice and will be there again SOON Steve read more
