"I have received hundreds of massages from therapists all over the world, and no one matches the energy, intuition, passion and natural ability Nala has. She is my favorite Massage Therapist hands down." "I love the feel of her studio. Nala is very sweet & very thorough. I came for a lymphatic massage for post surgery. I definitely felt better after." "When she was done, I felt extraordinarily relaxed & I was even standing up straighter than usual." "I have been able to decrease my pain medicine by 90% since receiving massages on a regular basis from Nala." "Of the 20 massages that Nala has given me, no two have been exactly the same. She focuses on what needs her attention most. Whether I've got a stiff neck, am holding tension in my shoulders or just need my system balanced with a relaxing release of endorphins from some intense reflexology, she knows intuitively and goes to work on it. We feel blessed to have found her." "She is very attentive to my needs and works very specifically on my problem areas. When I leave her I always go out feeling much better than when I went in! I have no problem saying that these are the BEST massages that I've ever had. That's why I keep going to Nala at Honolulu Massage Studio! The only complaint that I have is that I didn't find her earlier!! Great massages. Highly recommended!" "Nala was amazing! She knows the lymph drainage technique and spent extra time which is greatly appreciated. So happy I found her!

Pressure was perfect, technique was superb and ambiance was amazing." "Love this place. The atmosphere is quite nice with relaxing aromas, knowledgeable therapist and a comfortable massage table. Every time I go it is a little different. It's like she can read my mind what needs work and is always trying new things." "I have had many massages but Nala addressed why I was there and delivered more than expected." "Nala provided the best massage experience to date. Very experienced and competent in a warm, professional setting. She had a sound knowledge of the anatomy."
“Nala is amazing. Great communication and professionalism. Her expertise in lymph drainage is exactly what I was looking for. After several major surgeries I was desperately looking for a lymphatic massage therapist and I found Nala on google and immediately booked a 120 minute session. My 2 hour session was incredible! Nala moved so much fluid out of my body during the session and I’m still releasing fluids at home. I signed up for weekly 2 hour sessions because Nala is the BEST! Thank you Nala!” Stephanie J.
“I highly recommend Miss Nala for her expertise and truly feeling hands. I have had many massages internationally but rank her among the highest qualified and actually the Best. I have enjoyed Miss Nala’s helpful and relaxing massages over several years.” Hannelore P.
Truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Nala is super friendly & knowledgeable. She gave me a lot of insight and advice on how to treat my swellings and even referred me to a reputable lymphatic compression supply company for my new wraps. She's the best there is out there and the only therapist that's certified in lymphatic drainage massage!!”

“Nala’s place was very welcoming, peaceful and comfortable. She was very knowledgeable with the lymphatic massage, she took her time and worked on all the concerned areas. I left feeling less stiff, and I could feel the blood circulating through my body. I was sore a few hours later, and through the rest of the evening, as I expected. But, I slept very well, and woke feeling great! Thanks Nala!”

“Nala was amazing! She is very knowledgeable, she took her time and made sure the things I was concerned about were dealt with. Thank you for my amazing experience Nala.”
Rebecca M.
“I started going to Nala a year ago for lymphatic massage post-surgery. I was so impressed with her skills and professionalism that those eventually turned into deep tissue massages after I healed. Her massage table is the most comfy one I've ever been on, and the atmosphere is calming and relaxing.I almost don't want to post this review because I don't want her to be too busy (so she has more open slots for me). Haha!I have bought quite a few of the "buy 4, get the 5th free packages". Nala never disappoints and I will continue to schedule with her until one of us moves away. Nala, you're not allowed to ever move away! I would have to follow you.”
Laura S.
“I love Nala and what she has been able to do help me heal after explant with lymphatic massages. She is very knowledgeable and her studio is beautiful, clean and peaceful. I hate it when it coming to the end of the session because I don't want it to end!”

Her knowledge and skill of the body and massage techniques is superior to any facility I have been to thus far out of three...

Whether you are looking to relax, or follow-up after a procedure, Nala is the perfect medical massage professional to assist you in your healing process, spiritually and physically.”

Client Testimonials
Here’s what my clients are saying:
What Is Foot Reflexology Massage?
An old japanese proverb says, “the foot is the gate of ten thousand different illnesses.” Foot Reflexology Massage focuses on the body as a whole system that can be improved through foot massage. This ancient healing art form has been a well-established system for over 2,500 years. Its potential for improving well-being and restoring overall health has been demonstrated throughout two millennia.
In Eastern Asia, the foot is traditionally known as the ‘barometer’, reflecting the condition of health. The relatively small surface area of the feet is responsible for supporting the weight of the entire body. Even a slight misalignment in the feet can cause spinal distortion, which not only negatively impacts posture, but has a damaging effect on the entire nervous system as well, which is contained largely within the spinal column. Because the nervous system directly controls the functions of the internal organs, a person;s overall condition is dependent on the health of the spine, which is directly linked to the condition of the feet (Mochizuki. 1999).
Remember that human foot is an evolutionary marvel, capable of handling hundreds of tons of force and your weight in motion. It has 42 muscles, 26 bones, 33 joints, 250,000 sweat glands and at least 50 ligaments and tendons—plus almost 15,000 nerve endings!
How Can Foot Reflexology Massage Help Me?
Reflexology is an alternative medicine that’s been practiced around the world for centuries. It involves applying pressure to specific points on your feet or hands. Folks believe that these points correspond to different organs, and body parts. Pressing these points is supposed to have a positive effect on those specific areas, and on your overall well-being.
Research in the 1890s by Henry Head and Charles Sherrington shows us the neurological relationship between the skin and the internal organs, and that the nervous system as a whole adjusts to stimulus. By applying pressure to the feet, the calming message to peripheral nerves is carried through the central nervous system signaling the body to relax. This enhanced relaxation allows increased blood supply to the internal organs and their systems. This relaxation allows, additionally, the body to move naturally toward homeostasis and more optimal functioning.
When properly applied, a foot reflexology massage can leave a person feeling as though they have received a whole body massage. Since so many meridians connect different body systems to the feet, reflexology may be used to stimulate the digestive system, reduce stress, increase energy, promote self-healing, and relieve pain.
