Nepenthe Massage
I believe that Eastern medicine is still overlooked a lot these days and that more natural ways of healing will one day come back to all of us. We often get caught up in this quick-fix society and forget about our body's own capabilities and compassion. These are truly amazing vessels we reside in.

My heart tells me that people need love and to find the root of ailments in order to begin healing. I feel my place in this world is to help people slow down and start to feel what is going on inside. Healing takes time and starts from within. We have to open up and let it all out now and again. Come, lay down, relax, and breathe.
Services
Appointments are best, but feel free to drop by or call to see if I'm available for walk-ins. Complimentary childcare available, please ask for details. A great time to stop in and sample my work. Walk-in sessions are first come-first served and are generally clothed, short, and specific. Pay what you can.
We have two fully set rooms with heated tables, heat caddies, and oils available by the day. You can use what we have and/or bring what you need. This is a great opportunity for therapists just starting out. Please contact me if you are interested in starting your own practice and need help building cliente.

Great massage, she puts her heart into her therapy. However her communication was lacking, emails were curt and not informative, and she was not transparent about how claims would be handled and followed-up with insurance. Ended up choosing another massage provider due to this.

The new 2015 location on 35th Avenue SW at SW Roxbury Street is terrific. Naomi has a wonderful space for massage treatments and a community boutique of handmade and nicely priced art and clothing. Call ahead to schedule Friday, Saturday, or Sunday appointments for massage treatments with Licensed Massage Practitioner, Naomi Rivera. Hours for the community boutique are being established now.

Naomi is amazing. I highly recommend Naomi for any kind of treatment she offers. I saw her for massage a few times when I lived in Seattle and felt so fortunate to have found her. She isn't one to hurry you through while watching the clock. She is very intuitive to one's body and amazingly effective. My body felt so much more relaxed and happy after a massage from Naomi. I highly recommend without reservation. Thank you Naomi!

I bought the $90 for $65 deal and asked to apply it to a two hour massage regularly priced at $110. She tells me I cannot, that the deal is for a 90 minute. It's a voucher for $90, which means I can use it however I want. So then she said I need to pay $40 on top of my voucher. So....I have to pay $105 for a normally $110 massage. Where's the deal? Buy something that looks like a $25
Deal and only save $5? That's ridiculous. I want my voucher money back.

Nepenthe massage is soothing and you leave feeling very grounded. I have enjoyed every massage she has given me. Naomi makes you feel comfortable, cared for and ready to schedule your next massage. Her hands are healing.

I have gotten several massages from Naomi and they have all been really awesome! I have annoying low back pain and after my last massage, I didn't have the pain anymore, for the rest of the day. It was really nice to have the relief. I wish I could get a massage from her everyday!

Naomi is a really sweet person with the wits and the know how for a killer massage, and her shop is great. She has everything one wants when getting a massage; table warmer, lovely essential oils with a diffuser, (she hooked me up with eucalyptus because my nose was plugged/runny), hot towels, relaxing tunes, also

Naomi's relaxed attitude makes it easy to relax. She's sensitive to different issues, and is fabulous at helping with migraines. Also the products she uses are natural and don't aggravate my allergies or sensitive skin. This is a huge bonus for me as even fancy "natural" facials, waxes, and massage oils sometimes make me break out. All in all a great thing!

I was looking to treat myself to a little post-graduation pampering, but since I haven't exactly landed my next great career move, I turned to Google and Yelp with search terms such as "cheap seattle massage."

Naomi's pricing was competitive, and her skills are excellent! Also, there are specials on her website, she was offering a free body scrub with an hour long massage when I saw her, Oh Heaven!! It was totally awesome. She did a great job, and spent a lot of time with me. I would definitely go back, and I definitely recommend her to friends.

I have had good massage and really awful massage. Naomi is the best I've experienced since I started getting massage ten years ago. She surprised me because everyone I've seen (except her) recently has gone too deep too fast and has caused my body to go into some sort of ticklish defense mechanism. I thought I may have to take a break from massage, but I was mistaken! Something about her energy causes me to immediately relax once on her massage bed. The music and aromatherapy she uses only enhance what is already a perfect massage. I work standing up and using my arms all day long,

My doc referred me to get a massage, so I went to Naomi to get a rub down. (I must interject here to mention that I don't like people to touch me, but I have something called Thorasic Outlet, which means that my armpit muscles are tight like knots and it makes my arms all numb and hurty.) So, I was really nervous driving over - because of the no touchy issue. However, as soon as I got into Naomi's little cubicle-room, I was immediately relaxed. The music was soothing, and the decoration suited my hippie tastes....long and flowy window treatments, pretty rocks from The Nature and shiny
