Testimonials

A calm, restorative experience designed to support both locals and visitors.

“Jeg vil gjerne få anbefale behandling/massasje hos Nicharat Helse & Velvære i Sjøområdet. Var på 3 behandlinger der i juledagene og har fått utrolig god hjelp! Hun er dyktig med en utrolig god kunnskap om kroppen og hvordan alt henger sammen. Jeg kan virkelig anbefale henne :)”

“What a wonderful surprise. Nicharat is not your average masseuese, she is a degreed professional that provides a high level therapy. Expect your muscles, your body to have a healing experience. I have circulation and nerve problems in my legs. After 90 minutes i felt like I was 20 years younger.”

“Vært på så mange behandlingsplasser, men dette er den beste jeg har opplevd. Nicharat trenger ingen beskrivelse av behovet, det «leser» hun under behandlingen, og kan kurere det som leger og andre fysioterapeuter har gitt opp. Et fantastisk menneske og en utrolig dyktig terapeut og behandler.”

“Nicha helped me recover from a knee injury when nothing else seemed to help. Her depth of knowledge in different traditional medicines is very impressive, and she approached my treatment with genuine care. Beyond her expertise she has a kind, calm presence, and creates a space where you feel listened to and supported. Each session felt thoughtful and intentional, and over time I experienced real improvement. I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking both effective treatment and a truly compassionate practitioner. Longyearbyen is very lucky to have her!”
