I have been a licensed massage therapist since 1996, graduating from Portland ’s own East West College of  Healing Arts.  I began my Portland massage career working with a chiropractor in southeast Portland .  In 1997 I moved to a well known Day Spa in downtown Portland where I worked for 6 ½ years, 3 of which were spent managing the massage department and staff.

Massage therapy, whether part of a health regime or a splurge on special occasions, can have significant effects on the body and mind.  Some common benefits of massage are:

            -General relaxation and relief of anxiety

            -Reduction of physical and emotional stress

            -Injury prevention

            -Assisting in the healing process of soft tissue injuries

            -Relief of muscle stiffness and tension

            -Increased circulation

            -Reducing blood pressure

            -Increased flexibility

The general consensus is that a Portland massage makes you feel great!

An on-site (in-room) massage is available in increments of one hour and hour and a half.

            1 hour:       $50.00

            1 ½ hours:  $70.00
