About Us
The Nava Method: A Unique Approach to Wellness
To help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes, our specialists utilize the Nava Method, our unique approach to wellness that looks at the entire person. Rather than merely offering massage therapy, we offer it in tandem with a host of other holistic services, therapies, and products. Using these systemic yet flexible processes, we help you target specific needs and goals.
The four-step Nava Method involves the following:
- Assessment: We start by discussing your history, wellness goals, and our in-depth, science-based, proprietary assessment and protocol with you.
- Diagnostic Phase: We get to the root of your concerns through comprehensive lab work that evaluates 65 bio-chemical markers (i.e., more than double what a typical physical reviews). Through a comprehensive session, you and your physician discuss your results, their implications, and the proprietary plan we’ve customized for you.
- Custom Vitality Plan (CVP): Based on your assessment and diagnostic results, we create a proprietary, algorithm-based plan for your specific situation and needs. This plan is personalized to you and may include recommendations on premium-grade supplements alongside services from a massage therapist, a clinical nutritionist, and a doctor.
- Accountability: We work with you over time to achieve positive results through an ongoing, fluid wellness approach.
At Nava Health & Vitality Center, your massage therapy is always customized to your specific needs for optimal results. Our licensed massage therapists undergo rigorous training in order to combine multiple modalities in each session as needed, and this is always as part of a larger, overarching CVP that has been customized to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a massage?
For general stress management, once a month is a great maintenance routine. However, if you are dealing with chronic pain, injury recovery, or high stress, we may recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions until your symptoms improve.
Do I need a prescription for massage therapy?
Generally, no. You can schedule a massage at any time. However, if you are treating a specific medical condition or injury (like an auto accident claim), a referral from a provider may be helpful for insurance reimbursement purposes.
What types of massage do you offer?
We offer a range of modalities including Swedish (for relaxation and circulation), Deep Tissue (for chronic tension and knots), Sports Massage (for performance and recovery), and Myofascial Release. Your therapist will recommend the best style for your needs.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
Deep tissue work targets the inner layers of muscle and fascia. While you may feel some intensity or “good pain” as knots are released, it should never be unbearable. Our therapists prioritize communication, you are always in control of the pressure.
Can I get a massage if I am pregnant?
Yes, but please let us know in advance when you book. We offer specialized prenatal massage designed to safely relieve the unique aches and pains of pregnancy. Note: We typically recommend waiting until after the first trimester.
