Talk therapy: I will listen.

35


35 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Aug 02, 2016

I'm a good listener and I enjoy sharing my experiences and even advice. I think many people don't feel listened to or have someone they can go to without judgement. I'm happy to be that for someone. Normally I provide a mix of listening to what the person has to say, encouraging them to come to their own conclusions, and giving advice or sharing my experience as needed.

Some people have an idea in mind if how I can best help them, I.e. Just let them process out loud, or give my opinion. That is ok, as I respect someone who knows the best way they can be helped. Above all, I am here for you as a support, in whatever way is best for you.

Training & Qualifications


I've always been naturally intuitive, empathetic, and tuned in. I've gone to school for psychology and have some formal and informal training. I care deeply for people and love helping.

Availability & Preferences


I tend to have most free time Wednesday afternoon and evenings and weekend evenings. It varies, so just contact me.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Craig received hour of Deep Tissue Sports Massage from Nikolai
Mar 12, 2017
That was an amazing massage! I could feel him incorporate at least three different styles, all very smoothly. The massage felt like he had technical ...expertise without losing any of the relaxing flow. I've gotten monthly (at least) massages for the last fifteen years and it's the best one I can remembershow more

Nikoli was a pleasure to meet and comes across as personally invested in positive results for his client. He's skilled at his craft, and communicates ...about it well - which may be even more valuable than the massage. I came away from our appointment with a fuller understanding of my own body, and with a helpful idea of how to proceed, not to mention I physically felt great after the massage. I look forward to more work with Nikoli.show more

About Nikolai Rascia

I believe that listening to the client and their body and empowering them is paramount to the healing process. I am passionate about massage and believe in bringing balance to the body by addressing u...nderlying issues by combining deep, relaxing bodywork with assisted stretching. I believe that listening to the client and their body and empowering them is paramount to the healing process. I am passionate about massage and believe in bringing balance to the body by addressing underlying issues by combining deep, relaxing bodywork with assisted stretching. I graduated from the Cortiva Institute of Chicago in 2014, but my background in massage didn't begin there. Being the son of an accomplished massage therapist has provided me with an intuitive understanding of the body and all of the benefits that massage brings, and I helped out at a chiropractic clinic for a few years before deciding to go to school. I believe that what sets my style apart is that I can draw from unique experiences in both clinical and spa settings. It is my understanding that the best and most transformative massage is one that strikes a balance between soothing and healing; My inspiration comes from a rich background of education. Some of the modalities that I offer are as follows: Deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, Swedish Massage, assisted stretching, contrast therapy, sports massage, and Thai massage techniques. What do I like to do when not working? Being in nature, taking long walks and camping. I also enjoy spending time in saunas and hot tubs for health and relaxation purposes.
