Catalyst Massage

Naomi is an incredible massage therapist. I came with an injury and not only did Naomi help me recover, it was relaxing and restorative. Whenever I'm lucky enough to have a massage scheduled, I look forward to it all week.

Naomi is a highly skilled massage therapist! I have been treated by her regularly for years and have always had wonderful experiences. Her massages have helped relieve my shoulder, back, knee, and TMD pains over the years. I also often go to her after strenuous physical activities (eg races, backpacking trips). We always talk about what I’m needing before the massage starts, but she’s also skilled at identifying the areas of my body that are tight and tense and need more massage work to focus on. I always leave feeling less pain and soreness! I tend to like deep tissue therapeutic massages as opposed to more gentle relaxing massages, and this is what Naomi provides for me, though she is always able to adjust her pressure level when I ask.

Also, I love her new location, and I’ve been to her since she reopened after temporarily having to close during the first few months of the pandemic. I work at a hospital and take a high level of precautions at work and in my personal life, and Naomi’s level of COVID-19 infection prevention is impressive! I feel very safe continuing to come to her for treatment. If you have any hesitancy about getting a massage during the pandemic, just ask her about her specific procedures.

Finally, Naomi is such a kind and warm person who is easy to connect with and feel comfortable with. We usually start our massages by catching up and chatting about our common interests, and then as I become more relaxed I quiet down and we usually spend the rest of our time in silence until after the massage. Naomi has always matched my desired level of conversation during her massages. She is a wonderful massage therapist and human being and I’m thankful to have her in my life.

Naomi is a magician when it comes to bodywork. I appreciate her warm personality and gentle, yet effective, treatment style.

I can not honestly rate anyone in Tacoma higher than Catalyst. She has an amazing healing space and a one of a kind personality that makes her massages the best that I have ever had.

Naomi is awesome! She is extremely thorough and pays great attention to detail! I recommend her to anyone I know that needs massage therapy!

Most heavenly massage ever. Really worked well with my muscle problems and helped me learn how to live pain-free. Highly recommend!
