Nich was with a patient, and their appointment ran 15 minutes late. I tried texting and calling to let him know I was in the waiting room, but he didn't respond. He said we could go 15 minutes over so I would get my full hour. Luckily, I had nothing after that, so I could stay later. He should have contacted me to let me know he was behind schedule. He was friendly, but he had me stand so he could "get a look at me" from all different directions. I've had many massages and never had to do that, which was strange. There was no background music at all, that was weird. The massage was ok, while I was on my stomach he got on the table with me to put all of his body weight on my legs. When I was on my back he got on the table again to put his weight on me. I've never had that happen in a massage before. After my massage my lower back hurt. Overall a strange experience. read more

Working with Nick and somatic experiencing has been AMAZING! It's exactly what I needed to take my therapy/ healing journey to the next level, when I was feeling stuck before. Really excited to continue working together! read more

Masterful. Experienced. Present. Capable. Approachable. Safe. Welcoming. That's how I'd describe Nich. He has a wide body of knowledge as it relates to anatomy and healing. I go for pure comforting massage and it's wonderful, but if you have sports injuries or special needs, I think he's still the right therapist for the job. read more

Curious about Rolfing, I started working with Nich to help me release some of the Myofascial pain I feel in my body. Over the past 3 or 4 months I've been experiencing great improvements, and significantly less pain. Nich truly cares, and is very good at what he does. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a better experience in their body. read more

Nich is a deeply skilled and intuitive practitioner of both Rolfing and Somatic Experiencing. I've worked with him several times, and every session leaves me feeling more open, grounded, and energized. His work goes far beyond massage -- he combines thoughtful, skillful touch with simple corrective movements that help me understand and care for my body long after the session ends. What stands out most to me is the way he works with such integrity and presence. He's trauma-informed, an excellent communicator, and always creates a space that feels safe and collaborative. Instead of lying passively on the table, he invites gentle, patterned movements that support real change in the tissues. Sometimes emotions come up as the body releases long-held tension, and Nich meets those moments with genuine curiosity and compassion. I truly enjoy working with him and return every time my work responsibilities bring me to Sacramento. He's not just a massage therapist -- he's a healer. read more

Nich does a great job of explaining how he works with the body and his general approach. I started seeing him for help with my frozen shoulder, I have seen improved range of motion and he has helped align the core of my body more. I'm looking forward to continuing visits with Nich and feeling better and better. read more

I was intrigued with the idea of body alignment and integration reading Nick's advertisement on Groupon and decided to give it a try. It is going on three months seeing him. Nick always starts the session asking "how is your body feeling?" He then guides me to identify and relate to what my body is telling me. Nick listens attentively without judgement. He is very knowledgeable about the skeletal, muscular, and soft tissue anatomy and function and highly skilled at releasing myofascial tension. He taught me breathing techniques and I am much more aware of the mind body connection. His practice setting is calming, comfortable and relaxing. I am more comfortable with my body, aware of my posture and much more active and confident. read more

I first went to see Nicolas for my lower back pain, thinking I'd just get a massage and be done with it. But wow--I was so wrong. What he does is so much deeper. Every session with him feels like peeling back layers of an onion... things come up that I didn't even know I was holding. And honestly? I cry almost every time--in the best way. Nick is not only really good at what he does, but he's clearly living his passion. You can feel that. The way he listens, the way he works with your body--not on it--it's all so intuitive and respectful. He creates a space where your body feels safe enough to let go, and that's such a rare gift. read more

Had a session recently and it was amazing! Non invasive and intentional. My therapist was very skilled and knowledgeable and he made me feel listened to. Would definitely recommend! read more

Nic is very experienced, compassionate and attentive to his clients' needs. He wants to help you and give you the service that is perfect for your needs. He has a wide variety of different techniques and modalities that he combines in unique and healing ways. I was very pleased with my recent treatment and recommend him highly. read more

How can I put the enthusiasm that spills out of me when I tell friends about Nich into words here on this screen...?! Since I have chronic migraines and structural issues, I've tried a lot of different forms of body work over the years. Nich's work is the best on so many levels: efficacy, expertise, his humility in conjunction with incredible depths of knowledge (not just about his field! We always have fascinating chats), the ease with which he shares his knowledge in palatable ways, genuine care for wellness, and on and on. It's always a relaxing, even if "interesting" (re: sometimes requires working through some less soothing sensations to release tension, but don't worry because nich is great at coaching you through breathing), experience. I cannot recommend Nich's services enough! Give him a try and see for yourself. read more

Nich is the Man!!! I came out of my first session feeling like a new person ! He listened to me and explained things. He such a kind guy. It felt like we had known each other for years. Highly recommend going to Nich!!! read more

Great technique ! I I had a great experience he is very knowledgeable about what he's doing and I plan on going back. I had great results after my first session! read more

Nich kindly listened carefully to my concerns and explained the Rolfing process in detail. I left his office feeling hopeful that I will get lasting relief from the tension and stress that I hold. I would refer anyone to him. read more

I started working with Nich to help me release some habituated patterns of holding tension in my body. Over the past few months I've been experiencing great improvements as he's addressed all my concerns with the utmost patience and curiosity. He truly cares and is very good at what he does, and that has to do with his technique as much as his communication skills. Nich has helped me advance my understanding of good posture, and how to keep the improvements he achieves in the session longer. He has a deep and broad knowledge about the body and has been able to teach me exercises and ways of moving and even sleeping to improve back pain. I trust Nich completely and would recommend him with no hesitation to anyone seeking a better experience in their body. A gifted body-worker, and passionate helper, Nich deserves five stars. read more

For years I have been in search of a healing Practitioner who specializes in feet. I have been seeing Nich Green, Structural Integration Practitioner and Rolfer. His work is extremely intense but highly effective. I've been to Nich four times now, but even after just the first session I was already walking noticeably different. The relief I get is monumental. I can feel my body shifting and changing on a daily basis, and the results have given me pain-free full range of motion. I respect his degree of knowledge on the human body and in particular the very complex nature of feet. The Relief and overall effects on my Body are Amazing. Thank You Nich! read more

I began seeing Nic Green about a year ago seeking relief for severe lower back pain. At the time, traditional medicine treatment included industrial strength prescription medications and i had received recommendations for fusion surgery. Rolfing was my last resort prior to committing to surgery. Nic was able to relieve the muscular dysfunction which was causing the pain. All previous diagnosis(s) had blamed bone structure abnormalities. He changed my life. I continue to benefit from his treatments, though i haven't seen him for nearly 6 months. Prior to my Rolfing experience, i had tried many different massage therapies including Acupuncture, and Chiropractic care. While i would receive temporary relief, none was as deep and long lasting as that i received from Rolfing. Nic is extremely competent and listens well to his client. If i could rate Nic higher than 5 stars i would, he deserves a 10 Thanks again for changing my life Nic. Sincerely, Mallory Boyd read more

I tweaked my back weight lifting in July of 2012. I was very immobile and had a large amount of pain when lifting anything. About a week after the pain started I contacted Nich and he got me in that day. He provides a very comfortable environment and explained what he was doing so that I could understand it. After the first session I had an immediate increase in motion and was almost back to full strength by the end of the week. I highly recommend him! -Stephen Harlow read more

Nich is amazing at what he does. I am a dancer and have struggled with back pain for the past 3-5 years, as well as pain just about everywhere else in my body. Whenever I got the chance, I would go and see Nich. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is in pain and is looking to figure out how to find the root of their problems, and I would recommend him for anyone looking to take preventative action against any possible body ailments or injuries. I have seen Nich a handful of times and the experience is much more than a massage. I was involved with the treatment, as well as incredibly relaxed and at ease. Nich's presence is inviting and sincere, and he is really looking to help you. If you're not sure what's wrong exactly, he'll ask questions and explore the areas of pain until the two of you are able to pinpoint an area that needs release. Sometimes the pain I was experiencing may have been due to a specific injury, but I found out that much of my back pain is due to my posture and some not so great ballet training, and he helped me realize this! I am more knowledgeable about my body and about my body's history and how that is affecting my life today, thanks to Nich. I always left a season with Nich feeling refreshed and renewed, as well as more present and thankful. Sessions with Nich are magical! read more

I have never met a more embodied individual. Nich has keen eye for what he does and he undoubtedly makes you feel better at the end of his session. I have had back pain and came to Nich to help destress the muscles compensating in my daily life. He made a world of difference for me! He not only gives a great massage but he also provides valuable knowledge on how to move better and prevent stress and pain in certain areas. His knowledge is invaluable and his intuition for this job is great. I highly recommend him! read more
