Portland Thai Massage ... Extraordinary Bodywork

My massage therapy is medically-oriented and highly therapeutic. I approach each session with an intention to hone in on the source of the concern and do all that I can to help it. I specialize in deep, intensive work that helps release adhesions or "knots", muscle tension, trigger points, and chronic aches and pains. If you are looking for the kind of massage that "hurts so good" (with a good dose of love) then you have come to the right place. Situations where this is the best course of treatment include "office worker's syndrome", tension headaches, tight muscles, and knots that won't go away. I also offer therapeutic, nurturing massage for times when "digging in there" is not called for, such as a sensitivity to deep work, need for gentle touch, excessive stress, trauma, depression. My clients experience deep rejuvenation, long-lasting effects, and pain/injury cessation. We will work together as a team to affect change in your body and being.

I have been studying and practicing Thai massage since 2006. A solo trip to SE Asia in 2001 brought me to Thailand for 2 glorious months where I experienced Thai massage for the first time. The seed was planted. When I moved to Portland I found my main teacher Nephyr Jacobsen at The Naga Center and immersed myself in her teachings. I am grateful for the knowledge and skills she has passed on. The tools and techniques of Thai massage allow me to affect therapeutic and long-lasting change for my clients with great efficiency. My ultimate goal is to help heal to the best of my ability: to move a client from ill health to wellness, injury to recovery, pain-filled to pain-free, as quickly as possible.

If you are looking for really great bodywork that gets results and is focused on your individual needs then let's work together. I'm looking forward to it.
