Testimonials

We receive kudos, praise and thanks every single day from our Massage, Reiki & Yoga clients. On a daily basis, clients say they feel much, much better than they did before their visit with Nikki and Comfort & Balance. Besides feeling great, clients often report relief from discomforts (such as migraines, insomnia, sadness, stress), pains (getting clients out of workman’s comp cycles, and no longer needing surgeries) and other symptoms. We are proud to help people every day and we want to help you. Here is just a very small percentage of that positive feedback:

ACTIVE REIKI: The “loud reiki” [note-this is the Active Reiki] with Nikki was life changing. After one session, I had so many changes in just 1 year- from weight loss to getting rid of anxiety. Before coming to Nikki, I had been going through hell I didn’t know if I’d ever feel good again. But it happened.

MASSAGE: Karina Oddo and I just went for a couple’s massage at Comfort & Balance. I just want to speak on the incredible experience that we had: First of all, we were greeted with smiles and love right from the beginning. Then upon a thorough discussion of our lifestyles and points that we felt needed focus, the masseuse that could best address our specific needs was chosen for each of us. Comfort & Balance was incredibly attentive to our comfort throughout the process, even down to the ambience. We had heated beds, a dark room, beautiful music, fragrant oils, and warm blankets to provide privacy throughout the massage. After the massage I felt healthier, and honestly taller? Lol. They found tensions in my body that I didn’t even know existed. We never felt rushed, which I find incredibly important when engaging in an experience in which I am looking to relax. Comfort & Balance is warm, inviting, incredibly professional and attentive to the needs of clients. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality, tension-relieving experience. I think it is so important to speak up about the business that you love! Thank you Comfort & Balance! We will certainly be back!

MASSAGE: I had sciatica really bad- legs pained while driving and sitting- was torture. I had one session with Nikki and the pain literally stopped! Feeling great! [C&B Note: we saw the client a week after this session she had written about and she still had no more sciatic pain].

REIKI: I came to Nikki with diagnosed Bell’s Palsy. That night, after my first Reiki Session (Active Reiki), I already saw an improvement in my facial symptoms. And more from facebook review…Unbelievable Reiki with Nikki. From the first session, experienced a major healing breakthrough. Extremely therapeutic and relaxing. Highly recommend.

ACTIVE REIKI: I have had trichotillomania since I was 13. I pullout my eyelashes constantly and I haven’t even had an urge to do it [since the first active reiki session]. Usually I am fighting the urge all the time and it’s a losing battle, but there is nothing to fight since [the session]. Truly a life changing event! Nikki was amazing! I went to her with a variety of issues, some emotional and one logistical, yet very debilitating for as long as I could remember. She explained to me that most problems stem from being disconnected from your whole, from your spirit. She did a talking session with me and since that day that issue has not been an issue anymore! Actually the complete opposite and my life has gotten so much more fulfilling and positive. I have never had a single event/meeting that has had more of a significant impact on my life. I am extremely grateful to her and would recommend anyone to go for any problems or concerns at all!

MASSAGE: Thank you for making me feel better all year long. I come to you all stressed out and I leave feeling relaxed, happy and warm inside…I get such a good night’s sleep. I feel at peace for days after my massage and everything feels so much better. Thank you Nikki, that is the gift you give me with every massage all year long.

YOGA: I find the perfect measure of peace and quiet at Comfort & Balance. The DeStress Class is paced to my needs and the Yoga class is invigorating. I come to Comfort & Balance as often as possible and always leave feeling better! UPDATE: I have been doing DeStress Yoga with Nikki for 3 years now. I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. I feel so much better. My body feels better and stronger. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to strengthen and stretch. It is low impact but has high benefits. Being older, I worry about mobility and this is something you can do for yourself.

EAR CANDLING: I was advised by my acupuncturist to have my ear candled for a discomfort I was feeling due to a bug sting in the ear that caused a severe sinus infection and a pressure in and around my ear. The procedure was painless and comforting as the massage of the area was soothing. I had previously been treated with antibiotics and prednisone which were ineffective and after 4 weeks I sought non conventional ways to relieve my pain. Within one hour of the candling, my ear was much better and continued to improve each day. Within 4 days, the pressure and fullness were gone! I highly recommend this to anyone suffering from sinus and ear issues. Comfort and Balance proved to be professional, clean and caring. Thank you!

REIKI: I’ve been receiving Reiki from Nikki for about 3 weeks now. I came without any expectations and was open to the outcome. I was feeling anger, resentment, and hurts from past experiences and was finding it difficult to get past these issues that surfaced a few years ago. During our sessions, I felt totally relaxed and safe, as well as feeling some of the hurt and resentment leaving my body. Nikki is so compassionate and non-judgmental, I truly feel she is like an angel that I needed at this time! Her voice and touch are so very calming. She validated feelings I’ve had since childhood and gave me meditations to do twice a day, that have truly helped me to begin my journey of healing. My family has noticed a difference in my reactions to stress and have said I seem more calm and hopeful. Thank you, Nikki, from the bottom of my heart! I have work to do but you’ve given me so many tools that were lacking in my healing process.

MASSAGE: I have always enjoyed getting a massage. Not until my husband surprised me last December with a gift certificate to Comfort and Balance did I know what I was really missing! From my very first massage with Nikki I knew I had found a very special professional person who really knew how to make my body feel better with what I call her “magic fingers”. As I am now getting older and suffer from arthritis she has worked with me on areas that are sore and hurtful and made them feel so much better! She gives relief where it is needed and always asks how she can be of help. I also love the heated table, relaxing music (my favorite….the oriental music!) and wonderful flavors and scents she offers in her massage oils. I look forward to every visit and hope to continue seeing her……..and the best is I live around the corner from Comfort and Balance!

The course saved me from a panic attack. I was traveling through TWC and a fire alarm went off. My first reaction was sheer panic but I was able to focus on my breath and quell the panic and just keep moving. I am thoroughly enjoying the class and what I am learning from you. Thank you!

MEDITATION: Nikki- This was the first class I took with you and it was very clear that you put your heart and soul into it. The class was very well prepared and ran smoothly. Your presence and your personality as the instructor made the class comfortable and most importantly easy to comprehend and participate. The hand outs, instructions and homework were well thought out and interesting. Very much worth my time. Thank you!

MASSAGE & REIKI:Each visit with Nikki is life changing mentally and physically. From her welcoming smile to soothing oils Nikki’s massage with active Reiki is amazing. Each time I see her she tunes right into what areas need to be focused on. The active reiki opens my mind for self awareness and healing. I’m so glad a friend recommended her to me and I love to recommend her to others.

REIKI & MASSAGE: Your spiritual guidance over the past 2 years has helped me grow stronger. Your wonderful massages mixed with some Reiki helped me heal not only a physical illness but a wounded heart & soul. Your Yoga style is warm & welcoming and I feel like I’m home when I walk in the door. Getting a massage is a delightful, relaxing and wonderful experience & when you find someone who is very attuned and actually knows what I need during a massage is something to be thankful for. I am grateful I have found Nikki at Comfort & Balance.

REIKI: Nikki is truly a gifted healer. Reiki and Nikki are both truly amazing. My future and purpose came through so clearly and with so much detail in sessions. Nikki knows stuff about me there is no way she could have known, so I know without a doubt it is authentic. Thank you to Nikki and Reiki for confirmation I am on the right path. I absolutely love Comfort & Balance and Nikki is amazing. She is always on point with reiki. It has helped me heal so much

YOGA: In December 2011 I was looking for a Yoga class and found Comfort & Balance. Not only did I find the class, I found the most spiritual, knowledgeable person teaching Yoga, Nikki Reiser. When I take Yoga class there I get more than Yoga: I exercise my mind, open my heart to possibilities and lift my spirit.

REFLEXOLOGY: I went for my first session tonight of reiki/ accupressure/ reflexology. Nikki was so great with me and really took her time to get to know me and know my needs and what was going on with me. I booked my appointments for 4 weeks out and needless to say I am hooked. I feel so great after feeling like crap for months. I am so happy to have found comfort and balance. It was just what I needed. Thank you so much for focusing on my needs and making me feel so much better!

REIKI & MASSAGE: Nikki is truly a healer. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and gifted. She listens, customizes her treatment techniques and helps your body to heal! I have received energy work and massage at various places over the past 20 years in NY, NJ and Los Angeles. I am a certified yoga instructor and a licensed occupational therapist – and I feel that Nikki is one of the best practitioners I have met. I was introduced to Comfort & Balance just over a year ago and visit for varied modalities, as my schedule allows. One anecdote that I will share is as follows. I was in a car accident last March where we were hit from the side. Everyone was OK, but my neck was strained and painful. After attending twice weekly chiropractor appointments for 6 weeks, pain persisted. I stopped going to the chiropractor and went to Nikki for one Reiki session – it felt a little better. So I booked a one hour massage – it felt even better. I added one more Reiki session and the strain and knot had cleared. I am grateful to have found Comfort & Balance and highly recommend their services.
Caroline Zemkoski

MASSAGE: I came in for a 60 minute massage and upon meeting Nikki, I immediately felt a connection. The heated table and aromatherapy helped me relax even further. Nikki’s attention to my needs are paramount! You can feel she loves what she does and the care I experienced stayed with me long after my massage was over. It was a body, mind & spirit balance! Being a mom to 3 children (ages 3-17), I’m constantly being pulled in different directions. Nikki reminded me that this is my time, for me.

MASSAGE: Nikki came Recommended to me from a long time friend I was explaining to him how much pain my body was in. I am a stylist of 27 years and I’m a biker (dirtbike,quads,and streetbikes) of 36 years. The wear and tear on my body has finally taken its toll, I have never had a massage before Nikki, she was the 1st to do it and O my God I can’t believe how phenomenal she is!!! I will recommend her to everyone that comes in my path that’s in pain!!!! I feel like a billion dollar’s!!!! Thankfully i will be seeing her regularly.

PRENATAL MASSAGE:
Being in my third trimester I was experiencing tension and pain starting from my neck all down my back. I began to look for a well respected and known prenatal massage expert and found it in Comfort & Balance. Nikki explain in details what will be taking place during my session and understood the areas I wanted her to focus on. The environment was warm, relaxing, and specially private. After my session I felt great! The tension on my neck and back have diminish and I left with a relax mood. I will be coming back as soon as I give birth.

MASSAGE: Nikki is awesome. She listens to what is ailing you and creates a massage to address your own personal issues. She can be strong if you need deep knots removed or relaxing if that is desired. She will lead you through guided meditation but seems to know when its time to just lay quietly and enjoy the massage… Highly recommend

ACTIVE REIKI & MASSAGE:I went in for a Reiki and Massage session to address multiple issues- pain from fibroids, c-section postpartum unease, back ache and a chronic neck and shoulder pain. That first 90 minute session helped resolve the pain from the fibroids and surgery related pains. My next session 2 weeks later resolved the chronic pain in my neck and shoulders that I’ve carried around for the past 30 years. 45 days since my first session, the fibroid dissolved and all symptoms have been minimized enough so that I can live a normal life.
It’s been short days since then but my life has been through a few major shifts. I’m not sure if I could have kept my sanity through it all had it not been for Reiki healing. Nikki is an honest, emphatic and sincere healer. She has literally lifted the baggage I have been carrying from my past (that I didn’t know I was carrying and the way it was affecting me in the now) and given me room to breathe and think. I’m grateful, humbled and inspired all at the same time. Thank you Nikki.

REIKI: Nikki is amazing inside and out…she knows Reiki and Reiki comes to her easily. The 1 one-on-one Reiki session and a few group Reiki sessions made me feel good. And my ovarian cysts have shrunk so small and the pain is so little that I no longer need surgery. The almost hour drive is worth it ……. [Reiki] helps me with healing emotionally, and medically. Thank You!

MASSAGE: Through years of hard work & sports my body had a lot of wear & tear. Four years ago, I found Comfort & Balance. Here Nikki not only gives a great massage, but she is also a great listener and I believe she has special abilities to heal body and soul. I look forward to my appointments, she is always helpful, no matter what is going on.
Kevin Kopko
Hopelawn, NJ

REIKI: As a skeptic by nature I didn’t know what to expect from Reiki healing, but my wife had been partaking for around a year, and one day when she couldn’t make her appointment she asked if I wanted to try it…I figured I’d give it a shot. I am often stressed at work, but am not the type to talk about how I feel, so counseling or therapy has never been an option I would consider. Nikki’s Reiki sessions are like therapy but she does all the talking…you just lay and relax and she is able to vocalize very specifically what you are feeling and why, and is able to channel energy to resolve any issues. After each hour session I walk out feeling energized and relaxed, almost a combination of a vacation and a massage. I would recommend it to anyone who works in a high stress environment but is not the type to talk about your problems. The treatments have helped me deal with daily stresses better, put things into perspective and priority, and learn to relax and not worry about things when it is not going to help. Nikki is a consummate professional and extremely skilled at what she does. I’ve recommended it to all of my friends, skeptics or not- and anyone that has tried Reiki with Nikki is amazed by the results.

YOGA: I will be 68 years old this year and balance (not being able to stand on one leg without holding onto a wall) was a big problem. After a visit to an ENT with no answers, I tried Yoga, and that was the answer! After a few classes, I saw improvement in balance and flexibility. I learn more & more about my well-being and the mind, body, breath connection with each class. I have gained so much from my experience at Comfort & Balance. Thank you for a casual yet professional environment and your never ending enthusiasm and warmth! Thank you to Elaine (Tuesday yoga teacher) for sharing your love of Yoga with humor and humility and for your consistent support of my progress.

Matt Ritter

REIKI: My life was turned upside down last year and I was hurting, didn’t know what I was going to do or who I could turn to for help. I found Comfort & Balance’s website and after my first Reiki session with Nikki I immediately felt a difference. My mind was clearer and it felt like a ton of weight was lifted off my shoulders. Since then I have had both Traditional and Active Reiki. Active Reiki is like 5 Traditional Reiki session in 1! My 6 year old was very unhappy and unable to communicate her feelings. After 2 Reiki sessions she’s like the little girl she used to be- singing, skipping and smiling all the time again. Nikki and Reiki have helped me make breakthroughs in my life that years of therapy never achieved! Nikki is truly gifted and blessed with healing abilities. I am forever grateful for what she has done for me and my family.

MEDITATION/REIKI CLASS: Stress and suppressed emotions from family issues was causing serious tension and pain in my neck, making me unable to turn side to side or relax. When I arrived at the group Active Reiki session with Nikki and she said the topic would be on familial relationships, I knew I was in the right place. By the time Nikki was wrapping up the session I felt a very strong pins and needles rush into my right ankle and rapidly out my right foot threw my toes- at which point my neck pain and tension disappeared. I felt not only physical relief but emotional peace at that moment. Nikki is an amazing person.

REIKI: Comfort & Balance Studio is a wonderful place that offers Reiki Massage in addition to other services to help relieve stress and life’s challenges. I walked into the studio not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The past few years, I have had persistent daily chronic pain. After meeting with Nikki for a Reiki Massage, I immediately felt relaxed and at peace. I felt an overwhelming feeling that the weight of the world had been lifted and she helped alleviate some of my symptoms. Nikki is wonderful and has given me a sense of relief regarding my chronic pain. I highly recommend Comfort and Balance.

My present issues were tied to my past self, the past self that had been to counseling and thought they were resolved. Nikki was able to tap into my past, present & future. I received healing that was crucially needed. I am grateful I found Nikki.

BEGINNERS MINDFULNESS MEDITATION:
I have become even more aware and seen a shift in my thoughts and how I feel in situations, for the better. I am less stressed about continuing situations and what others will think.

MASSAGE I thoroughly enjoy my monthly massage sessions with Nikki. The Himalayan Stone massage is truly a massage for my soul. It’s amazing! I also enjoy the ear candling and reflexology sessions. Over all, this facility, the staff, the services offer positive experiences each and every time I visit!

Warm Yoga & Meditation Class I am so thankful for you & yoga. I wound up having an amazing day today. Same scenario as yesterday but I was able to handle it like a big girl with a smile. [Editor’s Note- Susan was having a tough time before the Thursday night Warm Yoga & Meditation Class, she almost didn;t come to class because she was so frustrated. After class she felt better, and she wrote this to us the next day. She has another review from years before on our page somewhere.]

MASSAGE First time getting a massage here and everything was wonderful! Nikki was very welcoming, kind, made sure everything was to my liking (room temperature, pressure, etc.). The massage itself was amazing! Very soothing, detailed, excellent flow to it and of course very relaxing!
The place itself was very welcoming, clean, professional. You can tell Nikki takes pride in her business. Plenty of parking on the street or side streets. There’s also a small parking lot located in the back…
I’ll definitely be coming back! Great meeting you and thank you for the wonderful massage and service Nikki!

MASSAGE & REIKI I go to Comfort and Balance every two weeks and every time i leave i feel refreshed and rejuvenated. I get 30 minutes of a massage and 30 minuets of Reiki.
Nikki is a truly amazing person and can really dig deep into whatever is troubling you weather it is physical or mental. I highly recommend coming and receiving a Reiki season it is truly life changing!

MASSAGEWords can’t express the most positive experience I had with Nikki. She is a very welcoming person. The ambiance is truly relaxing, comfortable atmosphere. I struggle with inflammation in my joints and all that was alleviated with the massage. I have already set up appointments for my son and we will be repeat customers. Thank you Nikki.

MASSAGE Wednesday night [yoga class] was great! I loved doing the flow and that you explained what each pose was doing for the body and mind. It was comfortable and the energy was great. The next morning i felt amazing. I couldn’t believe how my spirit had lifted.
