I was warned, this massage is painful but she will loosen the hell out of you. You can tell that Naomi puts time and effort in her work, she has a special technique and takes pride in her work. Within minutes I felt limber and loosened up. I could legit feel my muscles get looser and hear my joints pop! I went in, she took the time to see me fast and was extremely punctual. She operates very professionally and is honestly very funny. Her sense of humor and jokes are what helped get me through the pain. To those bashing on her, I don't see what she does wrong. She tells you to be on time, be on time. She tells you it's gonna hurt, so it's gonna hurt. I feel like the reviews that bash her ignore what she tells you to do. If you don't like the way she conducts business go somewhere else. If you're ready to take the pain but feel amazing afterwards go see Naomi. Thank you Naomi for the massage and laughs, maybe next time you can give me a massage on Venus :) read more

This is how the person conducts business here (see image). I don't believe you should be forced to do business with someone. Simply had reached out to ask about the session and pricing and didn't want to move forward at the time - and this her response to me when I would actually want to make an appointment now. It's amazing how her attitude hasn't gotten her more bad reviews. Pretty sure she asked them to be blocked. read more

Wellness from Within - Massage Therapy Near Me

This is not a pampering experience. This is a therapy type massage with the purpose of body rework. Sounds painful, right? Well, no pain, no gain. It's necessary to get in deep to work out all the tension and toxins in your body. Naomi is incredible at finding your problem areas. I walked out feeling light and sore at the same time. I've been dealing with back, neck and shoulder pain. She found all the tension and hard knots in all those areas and then some. Check in for free 10 extra min. but for the work that she does, you're already getting a bargain. Look forward to my next session. I'd go every month if I could. read more

DEFINITELY NOT A SPA MASSAGE! This experience is not a faint of hearts. If you really don't want your pain treated, don't come here. I LOVED that this went STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. I am sure that Naomi truly individualized my experience. I have been in pain for some time now, and late last night I reached out to Naomi. She was able to schedule me in today, even though I knew she didn't have to respond so late. She realized how bad my back and shoulders were that she knew I needed MORE TIME. She dove right in and tried to get my negative energy and DAMN ROCKS out of my back and shoulders. This was NOT an easy treatment, but would I do it again. HELL YES! She hit so many trigger points and found so many knots!! Cupping, hot stones, essential oils, hot packs, all with the price. Definitely going to go back! read more

This neutral review is being written to say that while Naomi seems to be good at what she does she seems to behave like a beast. Tipping firstly is never required. You can make contracts and guidelines all you like. Your not entitled to this money and like you said, customer service isn't what you care for so don't expect tips. Charge according to your service and move along. Don't tell people they should tip or not. It's not your business because you are not entitled to extra money. Do that in your country they would slap you most likely, which is why your here. So if your so good then charge your price but don't try to double dip n rip off after you've stated screw anyone that expects customer service cause that's not your department. Well tipping for lousy personality is also not people's department. You might be the best in the world but your dead last in attitude. Change your way of talking to people, it's free. Update: your response was barely read, you get angry easy. Good luck learning anything! Well deserved. read more

I appreciate you for accepting me despite the fact that you know you shouldn't be doing this right now and that you're license can be revoked as soon as the city finds out that you're still conducting massage business because of the Pandemic Lockdown restrictions. I am in shock and very disappointed how you treated me, your paying customer. As a business owner, i would never ever treat my clients that way nor would harass them for tip. As per definition Gratuity/ Tip should be given willingly. *for future clients: Make sure you bring a big bulk of money for tip otherwise, you will be kicked out in her studio And Naomi will tell you : "YOU ARE JUST A WASTE OF TIME!" Pls don't compare yourself with Massage Envy because you get 100% of your clients payment. And don't worry i would rather go there next time because people there are MORE PROFESSIONAL! Accdg to LaACounty Public Health tel # (877) 777-5799 you are not allowed to conduct business right now and you know that. That's why you have to sneaked me into the building. So please stop messaging me on my phone. Otherwise I'll be forced to show the receipts as proof of you not obeying the law. read more

I'm glad I discovered Naomi from Yelp. I always try to get massages (with preferences for strong, deep ones) on a regular basis. So, when I relocated to LA, it took me a while to find the specific place that I can see myself frequent. There are many things I like about Wellness from Within. First, I like that the communications/reservation process with Naomi had been prompt and very straightforward. Naomi always replied to my texts within 10-15 minutes. Second, you definitely get what you pay for. For the price that Naomi sets, you get the full time that she advertise, plus different options that other places usually charge extra for (cupping, lemongrass aroma, etc). No cheating on time or what you've been promise or anything. Third, her massage is strong and focused and customized to your body/need. Her massage therapy is strong and not for the faint of heart (as opposed to relaxing, spa ones where you can just drift off into lalaland while in a massage session). As someone with chronically had posture and who had endured endured stressful work environment for a long time, I went to Naomi with knots and tightness all over my body...especially my shoulders, neck, upper back...lower back, legs... everywhere! It's not necessarily a full body massage that you will get. Rather...Naomi takes in information/clues from you (where you'd like her to focus) and your body..and works from there. I appreciate that Naomi worked hard to really help relieve all those tension and movement restriction from my body. The process can be painful and may leave your body slightly sore...but it's a good pain and your body feels good and quite loosen up afterwards. If you are looking for someone who can help relieve the tightness and tension in your body, look no further. If you, however, are looking for a pampering, light touch spa experience, this is probably not a place for you. read more

Wow. I have had two massages with Naomi and she is truly a godsend. Decades of muscle tension and atrophy (thanks anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD!!!) are a pain - literally - to get through, but Naomi is determined to get you feeling better and your blood pumping / knots loosening. This isn't a standard / relaxation massage but rather a no frills, down and dirty, deep-tissue massage - but when you've been feeling like crap and you know your body is to blame, look no further! Can't wait for my 3rd massage with Naomi! Thank you! read more

This lady has bad vibes, read her replies to me and others. Two stars because there seems to be some kind of technique and Naomi does make it very clear that her technique is very painful or else I would rate lower. The price does not justify the noise that seeps in from the outside; this is clearly a price for a real spa which it is not. I did pay for a service and she did ignore my requests to stop several times to the extent that I got up and left with 30 minutes left of the massage. In no way was this service helpful to my muscle tension neither during the service nor several days after. Waste of money and time. Hi Naomi, thank you for your reply. I will text you tomorrow. My appointment with you was on 11/9 at 2:30. This is a legit review. Yes, I did tip you. Yes, I did leave with 30 minutes before the appointment ended. At the end of the massage, I mentioned I was under a lot of stress which you scoffed at and you asked what I did for a living so I told you and I mentioned I had two jobs. Hence, why I am now posting this review. Hi Naomi, you must've not read any part of my post correctly. I told you I would contact you today via text yet I received a text from you at 12:44 AM. I acknowledged that you did say it was painful. I have three problems with your service: I told you to stop several times and you didn't, the price you charge does not reflect professionalism or the location, and the pain endured during the session was not helpful in any way even days after. Interesting that you said you've never had anyone leave a session early yet your contention now is the saying 15 instead of 30 minutes. I received about 37 comment updates from from you on Yelp from 1:05 AM to 10:08 AM today. Please do not harass me anymore, do not contact me at any time especially not at the time you did. read more

Naomi is AMAZING. I went to Naomi because my body had been breaking down. I work two jobs and I'm in school full time so my body was in so much pain, way more pain than I had realized. My knee hard a sharpness that wouldn't go away. It was terrible. Then I went to meet Naomi off of a friend's recommendation and omg! IT WAS SO PAINFUL BUT SO WORTH IT. I would be a liar if I didn't say I thought I was going to cry during the massage. But holy hell, the knee pain that had been plaguing me for nine years was gone. I have been taking my time to write my review because honestly, I haven't been back in like three months. Naomi told me too, she only did about 50% of what I needed to be done as well, which is crazy how I felt 100% better. If you have pain, like really bad pain. Please go to Naomi, she will heal you like no one else can. read more

Not gonna lie, this massage was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced, but I feel so much better and mobile the day after that it was totally worth it! I get frequent headaches due to neck and shoulder stiffness as the result of a surgery I had a few years back. I have gotten countless deep tissue massages. They were nothing compared to this. Naomi truly has a gift. She found knots I didn't even know existed, but could immediately tell after she worked on them that they were the culprit of my headaches and also pain in my knee that has be there for as long as I can remember. Like I said, it was extremely painful, but the benefits afterwards highly outweigh the 90 minutes of hell. She has a unique personality that might not work with everyone, but I happened to find her quite funny. There is a lengthy screening process before she decides you are a good candidate for her massages, but I believe this is so she can make sure she can provide the best service. Highly recommend going to her if you've struggled with chronic pain that hasn't been relieved by other deep tissue massages and you can see the benefits of short term pain for long term healing. read more

Lady you are completely full of yourself you are the toxic person and if you cannot be professional to your clients you need to find another job! I work in the legal field and I suggest you stop bullying your clients and writing these awful things about the people who warn other people about you before you get sued for defamation!!!! read more

Naomi is great at what she does, She can feel through the tightness of your muscles to break apart and unlock parts of the muscles to increase blood circulation. She really gets to the deep muscles like under the shoulder blade or the joints like your knees and elbows. I had a minor elbow injury and she was apart to help relax many of the muscles that were connected to the joint. Which ease my pain that i was experiencing around the should blade and wrist. I have been pain free along my arm for several months now. Our muscles are all interconnected and she is able to find these tensions that relieve pain in another part of the body. I will admit the massages may get painful cause she is trying to get to the source. she has to periodically break apart the knot cause it affects many layers of cells. Afterwards you will feel better. read more

I got a massage with Naomi about a month ago, and it's about time I scheduled another appointment! Make no mistake, as the other reviews have stated over and over again, this is NOT a relaxing massage. In fact, I usually tell other masseuses to press harder. With Naomi, I had to tell her to take a break! I found it to be a very interactive session, with active breathing and communication. I carry all my stress in my back, and because of that I have a lot of back and shoulder pain. I've been getting massages elsewhere and while they've been good, the pain would come back within a week. Not with Naomi! She destroyed my back and the brought me back to life!!! She found my pressure points and it felt like she was releasing my pain from a faucet. I definitely slept like a baby that night. I cannot wait to go back and have her fix me again! read more

This review is overdue! 90 minutes of intense pain lol but well worth the results after. I went in with shoulder neck and back pain. It was my first time having trigger point massage. If your looking for a soothing massage this isn't for you. If your looking for relief from muscle pain and can tolerate a bit of pain then this is perfect! She is definitely a master at this! She also included hot stones and cupping. I felt lighter and relieved the second I walked out. I was sore the next day but that is expected. The money is definitely worth what you get in return! I will definitely be back. read more

So I'll try to keep this short. 1. She 100% knows what she's doing and as soon as she starts she'll be able to feel your pain points in your muscles. 2. I thought the reviews saying it was painful was just an exaggeration, BUT it is very painful and this type of therapy is not for the weak. 3. You must go through the pain in order to feel the benefits of her therapy and the joy of less stress, and day to day pain due to the tightness of your muscle tissue. 4. I've had a shoulder pain for years that I noted to her, Doctor's told me they couldnt fix. as of right now (4 days later) no pain, and I feel more loose than I've ever felt before. 100% worth every penny. read more

Naomi is a healer. This is a therapeutic massage meant to help you out in the long run, not immeadiate like most massages. Naomie covers 3 types of massages in one session so that she provides you with the most effective relief. I had so much discomfort in my body and days later, I felt soo much better. Do yourself a favor and see Naomi. Pro Tip: soak in epsom salt the next day and you will feel even better. read more

My neck was tight and had some really bad knots. It was bugging for more than a week. Naomi was able to get most of it out in one session. Definitely coming back to her whenever I have some annoying knots again. Just a heads up, releasing the knots was super painful, which I believe is normal, but it worked so overall super happy with the end result. read more

Naomi is the absolute best at what she does. I can not say enough good things about my experience with her. It was seriously life-changing. I have chronic shoulder and back pain from many years of long hours on my feet and accumulated stress and tension. I've had numerous massages in search of relief over the years and this was by far the best massage of my life. It was so much more than a massage. It was an experience. She does not play though! If you're looking for mild relaxation then maybe consider the run-of-the-mill Thai places out there. Naomi takes her job serious and will fix you if you let her (and if you can handle it. Haha). Her price is extremely reasonable for what you get. This is a true "therapist" who is extremely skilled and talented with healing the body. I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Naomi. read more

Leaving 2 stars because I'm sure she gives great massages, I just wouldn't know. When booking an appointment I asked how her 10 minute free discount worked and asked if she offered 30 minute massages, and she said she can't deal with my bargaining last minute. Then cancelled my appointment for 10 because she didnt want to rush? It was 9:40a.m and I was next door to her building finishing our conversation. Not going to slam her massage skills at all, but that was a very bad way to present her business to me. Bummer read more

First, let me say that my experience was excellent. Naomi completely raised the bar for what a massage should be. Yes, her rate is approximately double of what the general massage costs, however, it's worth every penny. There were so many different layers to her process. Her first step was getting to know what brought me in. Next, she identified parts of my body that needed more attention than others. Once she understood, she assessed my body and identified pressure points that ended up getting my blood flow in spots that seemed blocked previously. The treatment was a combination of cupping, heating, hot stones, pressure on key areas, and more. Her approach is methodical and artistic. Her primary goal is to heal your body and that is very apparent. I have noticed that my concentration has improved and that is because the tension in my body has been released. I'm already looking forward to booking again! read more

This review is long overdue! I can't say enough amazing things about Naomi. I've had two massages with her, and both times she quickly identified and melted away the sources of YEARS of tension. She knows where your knots are. She's gonna find them and DESTROY them! Like other people have said, this massage isn't exactly relaxing - but I wasn't interested in relaxing. I had serious back tension and pain, and she had helped me tremendously. She takes her work seriously, and she's truly a healer. If something hurts, go see Naomi. She'll set you straight! read more

Naomi said the only person stronger than her is Godzilla I think she is stronger than Godzilla Massage was very painful as I had many knots but felt soooo much better after a few days. Very professional read more

I can't believe that I have been live in Glendale for a while and I just met Naomi!! She is incredibly good at massaging. She will spend time understand your body and find out the tension part and then she will work on it with her magical hands. She mixed hot stones, pressure points, oil massage! It was so good. I will definitely come back. read more

I found Naomi through Yelp and boy, am I thankful! My experience was wonderful from beginning to end. Naomi takes the time to chat beforehand and find out what your concerns are so that she can most effectively use the time available. She has the most intuitive hands and found spots that I realize needed her attention. Naomi prides herself on taking the time to really work your body head to toe so that you leave you feeling like a new person. I had the best sleep last night and today I am feeling more relaxed than I have felt in a long while. I'm already planning my next appointment, and recommending my friends! I highly recommend Naomi! read more

She literally changed my life ! I will say this massage therapy is super painful but she will literally fix whatever issue y'all got going on. I've gone to many places, have had many massages, and nothing compares to this one! She knows what she's doing, knows the body very well! I didn't even have to tell her where my back pain was she just knew! Definitely trusted her and will be going back. read more

I've found Naomi on Yelp with great reviews. I've decided to give it a try since I've been looking for a good therapist. My experience today with Naomi is amazing, she is very professional in her craft! Beyond my expectations! I left completely satisfied and happy that I found her. Naomi will be in my list on my regular schedule. I must say money well spent. Thank you Naomi for your magic touch, I am one of your satisfied and happy customer. See you again next week read more

My name is Alec kourouyan! I am an athlete, who takes his health and recovery very seriously. I went by Naomi last week, all I can say is what an excellent treatment I received. She is the best at her craft, very professional, understands - knows the body, the muscles, knows exactly what has to be done to release, mobilize the muscles and tissues. I can't wait until my next session! Thanks again, Naomi! read more

Naomi has magic hands. The minute I got on the table, she went to work and immediately found all my knots. Just like everyone says, the massage is painful but effective. She was able to release loads of physical pain and emotional stress I have been carrying in my body for months and I can't wait to go back. read more

Naomi is great. She truly puts in effort on trying to heal the problem. It will be painful and you will cry..but you will heal Thank you for your service. read more

Naomi is a true blessing! I had been experiencing pain and stiffness in my neck and back for over a month. It was so uncomfortable throughout the day, and I had trouble sleeping. I went to the doctor for an evaluation and was asked to do a few movements and told I was fine. I did not feel fine. As I was walking to my car, I looked up best massage places in Glendale and found Wellness from Within (thank you to all the previous reviewers). I was instantly impressed and made an appointment with Naomi. Fast forward to the appointment. The location is very clean and tidy. Naomi understands that not all people are the same or have the same needs. She started off by examining my body and areas that needed additional attention. She hit all the pressure points and knew exactly what she was doing. Naomi is an artist trained to alleviate tension. She is no wishy-washy masseuse. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable and will make sure your body benefits from her services. I feel so much better! My range of motion has significantly increased, and I no longer feel like I'm holding an orange with my chin. Pricing: you absolutely get what you pay for. Again, go to a cheap massage parlor, you'll get a cheap service. If you want to feel a difference in your body and wellbeing, give Naomi a call. I already have my next appointment set up. We all try to "keep up" with taking care of ourselves (I.e. diets, exercise, skin care, therapy) but make excuses as to why we aren't worth the extra attention. A REAL massage from Naomi will do your body good. Oh, and if you plan on wearing a tank top or backless dress, you might want to rethink the cupping. I had a great experience, but you will experience mild bruising for a few days. All and all, this was one fantastic massage! I'm looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Pulled a few muscles in my legs and back from riding my bike and working out. I had been stretching and rolling out for weeks but never felt like I could get to where I needed. I found this gem of a place in Glendale. Naomi knew exactly where I was hurting. I personally really like deep tissue which is what Naomi delivers. I was breathing though the pain which is what I wanted. I'm already feeling relief and will be going to her in the future. Thank you so much! read more

I just went to Naomi for the first time, and I was really impressed! The facility is very nice, great atmosphere and very clean, and Naomi, who gave my treatment could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Naomi was my therapist and she was awesome. Best deep tissue massage ever, the therapist Naomi was very professional and honest, I will definitely return for more Thanks dear Naomi, you are the best as a professional and as a person I highly recommend. read more

Let me start by saying I haven't gotten a massage in over five years. But I'm in my mid twenties, work out four days a week, eat well and live an active lifestyle. Regardless, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my upper back around my right shoulder blade so I decided to give Naomi a visit after seeing all of the positive reviews. SHE'S AMAZING. Great personality, fun energy, and somehow makes you laugh while she works out the problems in your back like Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code. Naomi walked me through the concern areas and what she had to do to correct them (it wasn't going to be fun) but I left feeling so much better and my body hasn't felt this loose and stress free in years. Lastly, the cupping therapy was a first but such a unique experience and highly recommend! Definitely going back monthly as a preventative measure and I couldn't be more happy with the work Naomi did. read more

Had stiff/sore muscles from exercise and sitting in my chair at work all day. I called Naomi asking if she could do more of an athletic massage and she booked me within a few hours that same day. She greeted me with a smile and made me feel super comfortable. She did an amazing job! She Was able to target my pressure points and knead out some insane knots in my traps/calves.. I dont know how i had been walking around with so much soreness/stiffness. But damn she got it all out! and Cupping session was a plus too. Felt leaving so relaxed and like a brand new person. Bonus - she is super affordable!! Thanks Naomi! Will be back and definitely recommend. read more

Naomi is a massage goddess sent from heaven to help all whose bodies are in pain! I was experiencing a chronic dull ache in my back for months. I'd tried other massage therapists but nothing helped until I worked with Naomi last week. After all of her glowing Yelp reviews, I decided to give it a try, and I'm grateful to my fellow Yelpers once again for coming thru! YESSSS!!! The best thing about Naomi is her genuine passion for helping people. You can feel it in her work. She goes above and beyond to try and fix whatever ails you. She works with your body, not against it. She knows exactly how hard to push, pull, and cup! Yes, she does cupping at no additional cost! I can't wait to book another appointment with Naomi. I finally feel like I was able to let go and be released from this back pain! Thank you, Naomi!!! read more

Well people were not kidding when they said this massage is going to be painful. I was literally trying to squirm out from underneath her like half the time. If you're like me and you train pretty hard it's important to also spend a lot of time and attention towards recovery. I have very tight upper back muscles and she got all up in them. Definitely going to be returning every month. Worth the pain worth the price. Naomi is incredible at what she does! read more

I read many reviews before coming to wellness from within for a deep tissue massage and when they talked about the pain I thought I like pain I'll be able to handle it but it was definitely painful. Not for the faint of heart. But she was very accommodating, very good at what she does, talk to you through it and after it's all said and done it was definitely worth it. If you are having tightness in your upper back and neck like I was this was definitely something that finally helped me feel better. read more

If you want a massage to relieve you of all pain, stiffness, and soreness, then Naomi is the person to go to! She takes her time to feel out where all your pressure/trigger points are and then she starts to work her magic! She is amazing at what she does and really puts in the work to make sure you feel good. The cupping method she brings into the session really helps as well. read more

Naomi did it again! I'm 2 months postpartum from c-section and decided to visit wellness from within again to get my blood flow going and to break the knots that I have and just like my first visit, I'm really satisfied! As she mentioned, it could be really painful and it is but I only cared about the after process where my back wont feel heavy and I will be ready to work long shifts again. read more
