What our clients say
Xiaomeng LiMay 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve tried a few massage therapists, and Nara Rai has been the best by far. I’ve had five treatments so far, and I feel incredibly relaxed after each one. I highly recommend Nara if you’re looking for a skilled therapist who can help you deeply relax.

Katerina is an amazing therapist and after just two treatments I’m already noticing a huge difference in my mobility and comfort! I really appreciate how she communicates throughout the treatment and provides clear and thoughtful home care advice. Thanks Katerina! Look forward to more sessions fixing my weekend warrior woes :) Kerrie GMay 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several appointments with Dr. Zhu, initially for a back issue that she quickly resolved. More importantly was that she offered treatment with acupuncture for migraines. For the first time in many years, I didn't have to be debilitated for several days. This is a huge win, and I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Zhu for acupuncture treatment for a number of medical issues.
