Why I do this work.

Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a neurodivergent transgender woman and a licensed massage therapist who has been practicing in Oregon since 2011.

Over the course of my career, I've experienced many personal awakenings surrounding my gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity. Those experiences have shaped not only who I am, but also how I practice. They have given me a deep commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free healing space where people of all identities, all bodies, and all backgrounds are treated with respect and compassion.

Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking for a place to reconnect with your body, you'll find a space where you can relax, feel supported, and be fully yourself.

My approach

Early in my career, I discovered a passion for therapeutic massage and have spent more than 15 years refining my skills to provide effective, thoughtful, and client-centered bodywork. My sessions draw from a variety of techniques, including myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and neuromuscular therapy, all integrated into a whole-body approach that emphasizes structural balance, functional movement, body awareness, and long-term healing.

Working together

Every person arrives with different goals, experiences, and needs. Whether your focus is pain relief, improved mobility, stress reduction, or simply feeling more at home in your body, my goal is to meet you where you are. I bring my experience, knowledge, and presence to every session so we can work together toward the outcomes that matter most to you.

Training & credentials

How this practice is different

Real clinical skill

15 years of real technique: myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point, and neuromuscular work. Every session is built for your body.

You set the pace

Every session is designed around what you need that day, and you set the direction and the pace. I'm trained in trauma-informed massage, so you can change course, adjust pressure, or stop whenever you want.

You don't have to explain yourself here

I share a lot of lived experience with the people I work with, so whatever you're carrying, you don't have to translate it. You can just be here.
