3811 Airport Pulling Rd N, Suite 205, Naples, FL 34105

—What is your specialty?
I specialize in post-surgical and lymphatic drainage massage after liposuction, (lipo), tummy tuck, BBL, complete mommy makeover, 360, knee, hip, mastectomy, lymphadenectomy, face lift, and shoulder surgeries in Naples, Florida. 

I also do a lot of work with medical massage and scars. Professional medical-oriented therapy only – female clients only ("transitioning" to/from female counts). 

Do you have an experience with post lipo or BBL?
14 years. 

–How can you touch me after surgery? It hurts already!
I got so many calls about this. People calling me panicking, saying the surgery site hurts and how in the world can they bear someone touching them. Out of hundreds+ of post-operative massages I’ve done, so far, almost everyone said that it’s bearable - I'm a professional.

–How soon after the surgery do I need to get lymphatic drainage post-operative massage?
That is between you and your doctor. Some doctors tell their patients to come the same week as soon as possible, some say the next week, etc. Your plastic surgeon has to tell you what to do.

–How many massages do I need to do?
Everyone responds to surgery differently - depends on your budget and what your doctor recommends. Some people I have seen did one and get a good jump-start on their healing. Others do 3 massages. Yet others get 5-20, if their body is very swollen and painful. Every body is different. Normally I find that 3-6 lymph drainage massages is a good number to help you make the recovery less stressful and more manageable but ultimately it’s between you, your surgeon, and your pocketbook.

–Do you do lymphatic massage for headaches, cellulite, fat loss, allergies?
I do NOT do lymphatic massage for arthritis, headaches, flu, cellulite, acne, or allergies. I have not seen immediate results with that, so I prefer not to do something that may or may not be effective.

–In Miami, they did manual draining of liquids thru the tube. Do you do that?
When I called the FL Health Department last year to ask about it, they said that is outside of the scope of practice (not allowed) for licensed massage therapists to do that. What happens in Miami, stays in Miami? I will NOT be doing a Miami-style lymphatic drainage massage. If that is what you expect, you will be disappointed with me. 

–Why Healing Multiverse?
• Support a small business that gives back to the community
• 14+ years of experience
• Specializing in post surgical massage – I have done hundreds of them

• Personalized attention and time
• Simple menu of services; thus no up-sale gimmicks to “upgrade”
• Privacy and First Class Amenities with easy access to facilities and elevator, located on Airport Rd in Naples (a few minutes away from Target)

–Why do I feel lumps and bumps in my body?
90% of people I have seen had these bumps. Sometimes it’s the accumulation of detached fat, sometimes it’s fluid. Any time you are unsure of your signs and symptoms, please, call your doctor – I cannot diagnose. Customers often report to me that they might still feel numb, mild pain, inflammation, burning sensation, etc. When in doubt, call your doctor!

–How long should I use my garment?
It’s completely up to your doctor. Most people I see wear it for at least 3 months, but your plastic surgeon might have different requirements.  

What should I bring with me?
If you are still leaking fluid from incision sites, please, bring a disposable underpad with you.

Testimonials

My therapy helps a lot of people, but it may or may not work for you. The testimonials below show what others have experienced but in no way they guarantee you the same result:

By the way, thanks for the awesome massage today….whatever you did to me it worked! I was back to my old self again with all range of movements without any limitations. I played 1.5 hours of tennis tonight and felt great.

~client after a post-surgical (liposuction) massage

THANK YOU! I can’t believe the range of motion I have today! My arm is tender but I can MOVE!
~FT, dancer

Natalie, thank you so much. I feel so good.. I don’t remember the last time my back felt pain-free. I will happily see you again.
~NP, accountant 

I checked my bionic shoulder again this morning, and it’s still doing a 360 turn more effortlessly and quietly than my real one! Thank you! AND… for months now depending on what shoulder I wake up on in the morning, that arm’s fingers and hand are normally numb. This morning I had none of that!!! Don’t know what you did, but it’s fabulous, you need to do it again.

~CP, scientist 


My massage made me very happy. I am basically a very healthy fit older woman, but have pain in the above area every night … enough to wake me up from sleeping. Since my massage, I have not woken up once because of bad pain. This makes me very happy. It also made me realize that I need to have massages more often. As I told my husband when I walked in the door after the massage and he said, “how was it?”, I found the person that I will get my massages with going forward. I already made my next appointment!! Thank you Natalie!!

~EQAK, artist 


My forearm feels so good today! Thank you, Natalie!!!! I’m really impressed how much better I feel. I may get whole again

~F.T.

She did more for my mid-back in seven minutes than anyone else in two years. I also got […] ton of advice on my posture. It was inspiring to hear someone, “Don’t come back unless you change this and that!” She wasn’t joking.
~D.D. IT Director

Best massage ever! My back hasn’t felt this good in years! I will definitely be a repeat customer.

~Radiology Technologist 


The Bodywork was fantastic, you are a truly gifted healer and I look forward to more work with you in the future. I thought I would never be able to find anyone around here. I am also feeling like much more of myself, and that you def helped me push thru and clear out some energy. I cannot thank you enough!

~N.N. 


btw, my neck does not hurt at all. You did some magic. Thank you!!!

~S.W. 


I wanted to email you about the outcome of our energy session last Sunday. I have seen a drastic difference since then. First of all, I’ve decided what to do about grad programs for next year. Also, I had a very empowering meeting and I’ve resolved a couple tough issues on cases that were worrying me. I’m still stressed, but my attitude is different. I feel more passionate and alive than I have in a while. Thanks!

~R.S. 


feeling grrrreat! thanks natalie, you’re the best!

~researcher 


Natalie gives a wonderful massage, with some excellent life advice on the side! I left her clinic feeling more peaceful and more relaxed than I had in quite a while.

~ medical student 


My shoulder area feels better. I think the session was really helpful! I appreciated that you focused on relaxing the muscles all around the front and back of the shoulders.

~A.A., lawyer 


It was an excellent experience. I did Yoga last night, and this morning my left shoulder felt great, not stiff like normal.

~M.M. 


I came in for a prenatal massage due to back pain. Natalie found other areas I was also holding tension and relieved my back pain. I felt so much better after the massage and I will definitely return.
