If you're looking for a massage therapist and feeling overwhelmed by all the choices, you can stop your search and call Luata. Don't look anywhere else. Seriously. In the past, I've had some good, even some great, massages, but Luata is the only person I've found who combines amazing, genuine healing personality with an outstanding knowledge of physiology. I found her web page because I specifically wanted an orthopedic massage. I tend to have little patience with massages that are entirely woo-woo and New Agey and all about "channelling energetics" and so on. I need some science behind my massage. And Luata has it in buckets. But.... she also does the spiritual thing. And it doesn't feel put-on. I'm the kind of person who never thought I would use words like "healing energy" in a sentence. But Luata is a life force, a true healer, a big soul who melts the most sceptical hearts. And knows her stuff better than many ortho MDs. Pros: Gentle healing energy. Incredible professional knowledge. Cons: None at all.

It is wonderful to have Luata back in Seattle?s Roosevelt Neighborhood! If you have not met her or tried out her licensed massage services, you owe it to yourself to do so. Luata has several decades of professional experience, an extensive background in clinical therapeutic massage, and a delightful personality. I first met Luata about nine years ago, when I was referred to her to help with treatment for painful accident injuries. I had never been to a massage practitioner before, but my concerns were quickly put to rest when I realized the depth of her knowledge of the muscular system and her dedicated professionalism. She helped me heal?it was amazing to me what she could accomplish as part of my medical treatment. Luata is a healer. During the following years, I have continued to return to Luata, not only for care with subsequent medical issues, but also on my own for regular ?tune-ups,? which help remarkably with chronic pain relief and with relaxation. Luata gives excellent explanations of muscular treatments, and she has also shown me useful exercises that improve my everyday life. I will continue to use and benefit from Luata?s outstanding services, and strongly urge others to set up an appointment with her. She is truly outstanding! Pros: outstanding professional service Cons: none

In only 5 visits, Luata has helped me get rid of acute lower back pain that would not respond to medications. She uses her knowledge of the body, and how it is supposed to work, to rapidly identify the problem areas, and gets to work fixing them to get you back to where you should be as quickly as possible. She is always a delight, is very personable and professional, and has a great "table-side" manner. Even though my most serious pain is gone, I will continue to see her for regular tune-ups. Pros: Friendly, professional, and knows how to fix your pains Cons: None

She is truly an expert clinician, and I am so glad I found her to help me with my chronic pain issues.

My 89 year old mother and I have been going to Luata for several years and we both receive many benefits beyond the wonderful and relaxing massages that we have on a monthly basis. My mother broke her hip several years ago and does experience lower back pain which is relieved after a massage. I have experienced tension headaches which are relieved by the knowledgeable and expert massage techniques that Luata uses. What is wonderful is that Luata is able to give both of us the level of massage that is needed. Working on the elderly requires special techniques and I am thankful that Luata is able to give my mother a massage that is relaxing and therapeutic. Our monthly massage is something we both look forward to. Pros: Knowlegeable and experienced Cons: none

I was referred to Luata by my chiropractor after a motor vehicle accident. I asked how important it was for me to have massage and he said it was essential. I have a long history of severe headaches and neck pain. Luata said I had one of the tightest necks she had ever worked on. I am much improved and look forward to my monthly maintenance massage. Luata is exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled. I am amazed at the strenth in her hands. She is very kind and attentive to my comfort. I love the dim lights, soft music and warmth of the table. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking relief of muscle/joint pain and/or stress. Pros: Preventive self care - physically, mentally and emotionally Cons: None
