Bodywork That Actually Works
Thai massage and Myofascial focused bodywork in Columbus, Ohio.
What I do
I help people feel and function better through slow, intentional bodywork rooted in fascia, pressure, breath, movement, and a set of guiding principles that keep the work grounded and effective.
Everything I do follows the same core ideas:
presence, awareness, breath, intuition, ease instead of force, clear intention, clean mechanics, using bodyweight instead of muscle, and working with your structure rather than against it.
This keeps the work safe, steady, and tailored to what your body needs in real time, not a routine, not a menu, and not aggressive deep tissue.
You don’t choose techniques.
You don’t have to know what you need.
You show up, I assess how your body responds, and I build the session around that.
The goal stays simple:
Less tension. More support. Better movement. More capacity.
No BS.
No theatrics.
Just bodywork that actually works.
Who it’s for
This work is built for people who:
train, build, create, or perform
carry a lot (stress, pressure, responsibility, load)
learn by doing
push hard but want longevity
want results, not spa vibes
have tried “everything” and need something different
want grounded physiology, not mystical wellness talk
want their body to actually feel different
If you’re active, curious, intense, thoughtful, high-output, or wired a little differently, you’ll do well here.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Bodywork by Nic is a physiology-based, fascia-focused approach that blends deep barefoot techniques, movement, and breath. It’s designed for people who want results, not routines.
Three pillars:
1. Fascia-Focused Barefoot Work
Using Sarga-style barefoot techniques, I work with long, slow, anchored pressure through the fascial system. You get depth without brute force, and your body has time to actually respond.
2. Movement & Position, Not Just “Lying Still”
Sessions may include Thai Massage based stretching & movement, joint articulations, and positional work. We’re not just pushing on tissue, we’re helping your body remember how to move, load, and support itself.
3. Breath-Infused, Not Breath-Themed
We use your breath like a tool: to create space, manage pressure, and give your brain better information about what’s happening in your body. No breath ceremonies, no big performance, just practical, useful breathing in the right moments.
It’s deep, efficient, and built for people who care more about function than trend.
Start here
The Session
A focused 105 minute session for first-time clients.
We combine conversation, assessment, and deep fascia-focused barefoot work to address your main tension patterns and see how your body responds. This is the best way to experience how I work and decide what ongoing care looks like for you.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Conversation
Movement & breath assessment
Feet on bodywork
Depending on what your body needs a session may include:
• Barefoot body work
• Thai Massage, stretching, compressions, or movement-based work
• breath-driven structure
• mobility or decompression strategiesA simple follow-up plan
WHAT TO EXPECT
What a Session Actually Looks Like
No mystery. No weird scripts. Just a clear, grounded process.
Step 1 – Conversation & Assessment (10–15 min)
We start by talking about what’s going on: where you feel tension, what your day-to-day looks like, how you train or work, and what you want out of this. I look at how you stand, breathe, and move so we can target what matters most.
Step 2 – Hands & Feet -On Work
Most of the session is on the floor, using barefoot techniques, slow pressure, and movement to work through your fascial lines & system. Expect anchored, deliberate contact, not a fast, full-body routine. I’ll explain what I’m seeing in plain language as we go, if you like.
Step 3 – Integration & Next Steps
We’ll end with a check-in: what changed, what you notice, and what comes next. If ongoing work makes sense, I’ll recommend a simple plan (not a 20-session sales pitch). You’ll leave with a clearer sense of how your body is operating and what we’re working toward.
RESULTS YOU’LL NOTICE
Clients consistently leave with:
noticeable relief from chronic tension
easier, deeper breathing
less stress and a calmer internal baseline
improved mobility without effort
fewer flare-ups between sessions
better sleep and faster recovery
a body that feels supported, not tight
This is the difference between surface-level massage and fascia-focused, nervous-system-led bodywork.
