We treat people the way they want to be treated.
Welcome to Nepenthe Massage Therapy, a haven for those seeking relaxation, rejuvenation, and wellness. Our story began with a passion for natural healing arts and a commitment to providing exceptional massage therapy services. At Nepenthe, we believe that the art of healing lies in our ability to listen, understand, and respond to the unique needs of each individual.
Our journey began with Naomi Rivera, a licensed massage therapist with over two decades of experience in various massage modalities, including prenatal, sports, and deep tissue work. Naomi's philosophy is rooted in the understanding that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself, and her approach is centered around empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
In 2000, Torito Keoni, a fellow Licensed Massage Therapist, joined forces with Naomi, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise in various massage modalities, including Reiki, Swedish, and sports massage. Together, they have built a team that is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to massage therapy.
