Treat Your Body

I have been going to Namptip for over a year and am SOOO glad I’ve found my to-​go-​to piece of heaven in Williamsburg. I have been to many expensive luxury spas, but this place beats them all fair and square. Treat Your Body is the most relaxing little place. Everything is absolutely perfect. It’s easy to get to (L-​train Bedford stop + short walk), Namptip is a sweetheart. She is super professional and always ensures she understands exactly where your problem zones lie beforehand. During the massage she lets you completely relax (or fall asleep — as you sometimes can’t help it). The room has the perfect atmosphere: Dimly lit, super clean but cozy, perfect temperature, warm lighting and the most amazing music that I always get lost in, letting my mind go to far away places, sort of like a trance while feeling all my muscles relax. I could be selfish and keep her all to myself, but that wouldn’t be good Karma would it?

I’ll start off by saying that I have been receiving Massage Therapy regularly for 11 years now, and I’ve had massages from many different practicioners.
I was searching for a last minute massage appointment due to my regular masseuse needing to cancel on me last minute. I could have waited to see my usual lady, but I had already put my massage off too long and decided to A.) Get a Groupon or B.) Pay full price for someone that had good reviews on Unilocal.I hated the fact that I was booking last minute, and was nervous to try someone new, because massages are expensive and it really sucks when you’re not satisfied with your experience.
After searching Groupon for deals in my area, the place that I decided on did not answer any of my calls, even though they were open. I must have called 10 times!
After feeling frustrated, I went on Unilocal, and decided to look for someone relatively close by. I read countless reviews on different spas and masseuses before stumbling upon «Treat Your Body».
I looked at the pictures, and instantly felt relaxed. Then, after reading the numerous positive reviews, decided to visit her website. I went to give her a call to see if she had anything available for today, and I accidentally called the wrong number. So, I went back on the website to double check, where I stumbled upon the appointment booker page. I noticed that she had a 5:00pm appointment available, so I booked online that very instant!
I showed up 15 minutes prior to my appointment, and was greeted warmly by Namtip! She had me fill out a new customer form, and then proceeded to talk to me about my profession and areas of concern. I was pleasantly surprised with Namtip’s energetic approach to my consultation with her, as I am accustomed to going to Chinatown, where I usually don’t receive much of one before or after my massages.
She taught me proper posture, and ways to improve how to sit and stand properly while working in order to put the least amount of strain on my body. She made me laugh several times with her common sense approach to life! She easily calmed all of my anxieties by just talking to her!
When it came time for my massage, I was super comfortable! I got a 60 minute deep-​tissue massage, and she definitely used a lot of pressure, but it wasn’t uncomfortable by any means. I needed a lot of work in my shoulder area, so at times it was a little rough but never painful!
It never really bothers me when they have to dig in one area a little longer, because I know it helps so much. And, usually the rest of the massage is so relaxing that it’s worth it!
Namptip also used a lot of Aromatherapy in her massage which I LOVED! It really helped me to get into a deeper state of relaxation. After the massage, she taught me a couple of stretches to help with my calf pain and went over better shoe choices! I left happy and relaxed!
Overall, I’m very happy about my experience with Namptip! She is very knowledgeable in her field, and is very caring. I can tell that she is genuinely interested in your well being, and that she is dedicated to improving the health of her clients.
If you have a chance, please make an appointment to see her! And as for me, I will now be a regular! :)

Absolutely the most relaxing focused deep tissue massage I’ve ever had. I went in with shoulders and neck extremely tight from a stressful week behind a computer and left feeling a relief from the tension. I would highly recommend this service and plan to frequent often to see Namtip!

I have understood the benefits of massage therapy for a long time and have received massage from many many therapists over the years. Let me tell you that Namtip is special. She’s more of an artist than a technician, tailoring each session to the person and the current physical state of their body.
I have received treatment from her 5 times now and each time has been a different experience. I’m not getting weird, but her massages are about more than just the physical. If you open your mind to the notion of pure relaxation, Namtip will bring you there, too.
She has discounts for first timers. I guess because she knows once you experience her massage work, you’re hooked.

Very happy with my massage. I’m no massage expert but I got a ton in Bali and walking miles in New York had my whole body aching. Very reasonable prices and small intimate place. The lotions leave me smelling and feeling great for hours.

Namtip is not only sweet she is super talented with her hands. I went in with so many knots and aches thinking not much will be done. I was a little apprehensive towards masseuses period. I left Treat Your Body feeling brand new I didn’t leave feeling like it was about the money. Namtip is so informative on why certain things are going on with your body. I really recommended Namtip she is totally worth it. The best in the biz!

Namtip is more than just a massage specialist, she is a healer. She completely understands how muscles and bones work together and has done a lot to help me feel better by attending to my specific issues. I’ve recommended her to friends who are professional dancers, who call her part masseuse, part physical therapist. She is also incredibly kind and attentive, remembers what your concerns are, and helps you after your session to learn how to stretch and strand properly to avoid future pain. A true gem.

Namtip is one of the best masseuses I have ever encountered. She listened closely to me explain where I felt pain and tension, asking questions to make sure that the massage would address all problem spots.
I had a deep tissue massage. During the massage, she really kneaded the areas well, while also not exacerbating any of the soreness I already felt.
After the massage she explained what was most likely attributing to the issue, recommending specific changes I could make in my daily routine. She also corrected my posture so I sit properly at the computer and prevent future pain!

I was with my previous massage therapist, Carol L, whom I found off a NY Magazine article in 1997, for a good 15+ years. It was her who told me about
which is how I found Nantimp.
After a couple of bad experiences with another massage therapist, I found Nantimp and am so happy with her. I look for someone who is both knowledgeable and caring.
Nantimp is both and it shows. She begins each session by asking about problem areas and tries to identify the cause by asking specific questions. At the end of the massage session, she demonstrates stretches you can do at home to lessen the chance of muscle aches.
Her deep tissue massage techniques are very good. She has a firm touch which I love. When it’s gets too much, she eases up and doesn’t get annoyed (see my Turning Point Massage review.)
She’s able to pinpoint any muscle knots and get the crunchy kinks out. If you’re a first timer to deep tissue massage, it may be somewhat painful as your fascia may be very tight. It’s how sticky or tight your skin is to your body. Don’t worry, just breathe and after a couple of sessions, your skin will loosen up. Make sure you are well hydrated, too.
The office is a bit small but other than that, she’s very caring and genuinely wants clients to feel better, hence the stretching demos. The prices are extremely reasonable ($ 110 for 90 minutes) and she offers first timers a 20% discount and that’s why I highly recommend her to others.
With reasonable prices, I can enjoy her massage every 3 – 4 weeks. Since moving to upstate, I still return to her because of her skilled hands and reasonable prices.
Update: I’ve lowered my rating because lately, other clients have come in to the very small waiting room when I’m still on the massage table with 10 minutes left and my personal belongings are outside. I’ve also come (on time) only to wait an additional 5 minutes to have the massage table cleared and new linens put on.
Typically, 30 minutes are blocked out in between appointments to allow clients who are late or early to dress/​undress and not have to run into each other esp. in such a small tight space. Also, it leaves no chance of any possible theft of personal belongings. Namtip could have asked early arrivers to come back if she’s with a client.

All I can say about Namtip’s massage at Treat Your Body is AMAZING! She is truly gifted with her touch. She knows just how much pressure to apply and exactly how to relax your muscles, not beat them up like some LMTs do. I work in the spa industry so I have had a lot of massages, and this place is my favorite. I go every month and I can feel a huge difference. Namtip talks with you after to help discuss your posture too. She really cares about what she does.

The sweetest lady, knows what she is doing, and you can give her specific problems and she can find knots and help, also good prices! Thanks!

I have to highly recommend this massage establishment. I got a great Swedish massage and an amazing massage with the hot stones. A really great place, clean, friendly and the masseuse clearly knew what she was doing. I felt like a million bucks after these massages, I recommended to my friends all the time.

I have gotten 2 massages here so far — one Swedish and one Hot Stone — and they both BLEW ME AWAY. The massage studio is cozy, clean, and smells great (which is really important to me, and hard to find in a massage studio sometimes). Tip, the owner, is super sweet and has very strong hands — next on my list is the Deep Tissue Massage — this will be my first, so I will update this post when the time comes.
And there is a discount for new customers — yay!
Well worth it, you will be coming back for more.
