Testimonial

​
"Nik's care was deeply relaxing for me. I have a lot of nervousness about people touching my body and I noticed almost immediately that my body could relax with Nik, due to their thorough communication, kindness, and care. They are very responsive to my needs each time I've gone to them - from firmness of touch to type of massage, from talking to not talking, and take great care with any part of my body that is injured. If I have an injury they give thorough instruction around rest and stretching.  As a trans person I especially noticed my body could relax around them with their care around draping and deep knowledge of trans care."
