Feel Better.
Welcome
Are you aching and sore from sitting at a computer all day long? Driving too much in that Portland traffic? Just got off a plane and can’t seem to unkink that neck or lower back? I offer no nonsense, client-centered massage in my airy, sunlit office in the heart of downtown Portland. I am here to help you get out of pain and get on with your day.
Clients have described my work as engaged, direct and healing. These clients have included business travelers, office workers, athletes and adventurers, and people that work with their bodies (like performers, service industry professionals, nurses).
But no matter who you are, if your body is yelling at you, I can help. Pain is a messenger. In this modern life, we push ourselves, we neglect ourselves because we have other priorities, we forget that we live in bodies. So sometimes, our bodies have to try really hard to get our attention. In my many years of doing massage, I have found that when we feel good in our skin, we are more present to our selves and to our environment. We can think more clearly, and enjoy life more fully.
Massage is a way to come back to yourself.
About Me
I hold an Associate of Occupational Science from the Swedish Institute in New York City, a 1200-hour program, and have been practicing massage full time since 2009. Prior to that I received a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology and creative writing from Columbia College. While working at a surprisingly ache-inducing desk job after college, I sought pain and stress relief in yoga, and became insatiably curious about the body and all of its connections. I eventually found my way to the magic of bodywork, and the rest is history! A Hawaii-native, I moved to Portland in 2014 with my husband John and our cat Marco in order to be closer to trees, family and the Pacific.
Services
My sessions are a mix of deep tissue, swedish, thai, trigger point, and myofascial techniques. I also may incorporate cupping or gua sha (scraping).
60 MINUTES
Enough time for detailed work to one area within the context of a general overall session.
$95
90 MINUTES
Recommended if you need an especially thorough general session, or if you want a general overall session but also have more than one area that needs detailed work.
$130
120 MINUTES
Sometimes you just need a really long massage. Great if you have multiple trouble areas and want to spend a single session to touch on all of them.
$175
The above reflect discounted rates when payment is received at time of service. Rates billed to health insurance and auto insurance companies are not discounted and can be provided upon request.
Packages
Massage is cumulative. When we aren’t always doing damage control we can begin to truly make a difference. Clients start to really see the positive effects of massage on both mind and body when they are able to come in regularly. To encourage regular self-care, I offer multi-session packages at a discounted per-session cost. Please inquire for further details.
Insurance
Health Insurance
We are currently in-network with Providence, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon, certain other BCBS companies, United Healthcare, and certain Aetna plans. We can also check to see if you are eligible for out of network benefits. If massage is covered, there is generally a coinsurance or copay due at the time of service. You may need to meet a deductible before your plan will cover your visit.
Auto Injury / PIP Claims (Motor Vehicle Accident/MVA)
f you are injured in an auto accident and require treatment, the costs of such treatments are generally paid for through your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. With a referral from your doctor, massage is most likely covered and can be billed directly to your auto insurance company. Please note, we only bill PIP claims (your auto insurance); we do not bill third party claims (the other party’s auto insurance).
Make sure we have verified your benefits before you come in for your appointment. If you come in before verification, we cannot bill that visit to insurance, and you will be responsible for the cost of that session.
