Brooke Barak, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist · WA Lic. #MA61277417 · 6+ years
I'm a licensed massage therapist specializing in deep tissue, sports massage, prenatal care, and craniosacral therapy. Originally from Hawaii — where the name Nalu comes from — I grew up paying attention to rhythm: the way water moves, the way the body holds tension, the way breath finds its own pace.
My background as a competitive tennis player taught me what athletic bodies actually need. Working through my own injuries gave me empathy. My biochemistry studies gave me a foundation. Together, they shape every session — evidence-based, intuitive, and built around listening.
I practice out of Suite 115 at Salmon Creek Wellness, where the space is quiet, private, and built around the work. Insurance accepted through Aetna, Kaiser, Regence, Heraya Health, and most auto-injury claims.
Indira Faherty, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist · Pacific Northwest Massage Academy, 2024
My path to massage therapy grew out of a lifelong relationship with movement. As a dancer and yogi, I became curious early on about the ways we move, hold tension, and care for our bodies. Studying modern dance in college deepened that curiosity through somatics, kinesiology, and an exploration of the body in motion.
I graduated from Pacific Northwest Massage Academy in 2024 and have since gained experience working with a wide range of bodies and needs, including injury recovery and chronic tension. My practice incorporates swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and cupping, while leaving room for intuition and creativity.
I love helping people reconnect with their bodies and creating a space where they can slow down, settle in, and feel cared for.
