“Nick Nicastro has been, first and foremost, a friend of mine for ten plus years. We met through our mutual love and camaraderie of athletics, but our friendship extended way beyond these typical boundaries. Nick is not just a multi-talented individual with many real-world skills. He is a kindhearted, thoughtful, and caring man who selflessly navigates through life to bend over backward for others. I cherish the memories of all the times Nick went out of his way to help me in some capacity without wanting anything in return. His is the most faithful friend in this sense. He knows good things happen to good people and he selflessly lives his every day by ‘what comes around goes around' and practices this loving attitude towards life.”

“Nick is extremely accommodating in his interactions with clients, always making them feel comfortable, welcomed and taken care of.  Nick owns a special quality that make those around him feel his warmth and care.  This was always a great asset to have when he worked with me.  Client care and observing their needs is a unique quality that he continues to hone. Nick has also displayed himself as a reliable and diligent colleague.  As mentioned above, he will follow through on any needs for the business and ensure it is done with a high standard as well as with the client in mind.  In most cases this meant Nick working extra focused on ensuring this follow through himself.  

As a former professional athlete, Olympian and current ultra endurance coach to some of the best athletes in the world as well as many growing into the sport, my familiarity in the field of massage is extensive.  I can surely see how Nick would be outstanding in this field and making a positive contribution to the industry.”

“Nick Nicastro saved my race at Ironman Arizona in 2015. Faced with an unsolvable mechanical issue the day before the race, I knocked on the door of his truck in desperation. Nick was running his excellent race support company, SAGmonkey®, at the time, and he was there under contract for a group of racers who had paid him for his work. Here I was, grumpy and stressed, and asking him if there was any way he could help me out. “Here’s something to sit on,” he told me, unfolding a camping chair. “Why don’t you sit down for a bit?” No stranger to unhinged athletes, he got me off my feet, in the shade, brought me a bottle of water, and cheerfully went about getting my wheel rolling again. I tried to pay him. He refused. He gave me his card, and I told him I’d be in touch.

I hired Nick to support two high-end training camps in Tucson, Arizona, after my interaction with him at the race in 2015. And both times he wildly exceeded my expectations. Not only did he make my participants experiences comfortable, he also made them memorable, comforting them in difficult moments and making them laugh in lighter moments. By the end of the camp, he was great friends with all our campers. I have not met many people like Nick. He is calm, quick to defuse a dicey situation, expert at everything I’ve seen him do, compassionate, and completely dedicated to making the world happier, safer, and more equitable. He is an amazing massage therapist, helping people not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, too.

Nick and I worked together when I contracted with his guidance and support company SAGmonkey®, where I was his supervisor from 2013-2015. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Nick, and came to know him as a truly valuable asset to any team. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressive problem solver who is always able to address complex issues with strategy and confidence. Nick is inspired by challenges, and never intimidated by them.

He's a man of many skills and seems to excel at them all with ease and grace. His can do attitude helped our division deliver exceptional bicycle tours to a diverse and professional group of international travelers year over year.  I know that Nick was a huge piece of our success. Along with his undeniable talents, Nick has always been an absolute joy to work with. He's alway the first to rise in morning and the last to retreat to his room, his ability to work hard day after day is truly inspiring. Nick loves to serve people and it's apparent he receives great joy in facilitating positive experiences for our guests.

unlocking the benefits of massage therapy

Our thoughts often dominate our lives, disconnecting us from our bodies. Society conditions us to see these thoughts as our identity, yet they are no more defining than our heartbeat or breath. Massage therapy offers a profound reconnection, guiding us back to the present moment and helping us rediscover our true essence. Through massage, the mind quiets, and we experience life through our bodies and hearts. It is not just relief for the body, it is a journey of surrender, self-awareness, and inner peace.

We invite you to experience this transformative power firsthand. Rediscover the joy of presence and nurture your body and soul through massage therapy powered by SAGmonkey®.
