Greetings! I am Leah Maier, LMT #14906. I have been working as a licensed massage therapist in the Portland area for the last 16 years. In that time I have been able to work with various aliments and conditions. What I have found is that many of these issues can be greatly helped with bodywork! I specialize in medical massage which directly addresses scar tissue and restrictions in the body. I also provide hot stone, myofascial work, prenatal, migraine treatment, whiplash injury, deep tissue and relaxation massage. I love helping others with the work that I do and look forward to continuing this mission, of better health, one massage at a time!
Hello! I'm Natalie Hillman, LMT #21929. I studied massage therapy at Alexandar’s School of Natural Therapeutics in Tacoma, WA. To me, massage therapy is a practice of expanding awareness and releasing blockages in our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. My style is an intuitive flow with rhythmic, steady pressure feeling into all layers. I enjoy working with people one-on-one to increase mobility, promote relaxation, and achieve greater enjoyment of life. My favorite modalities include Swedish, lomilomi, reiki, and hot stone therapy.
When I am not massaging, I like to hike, practice yoga, play my piano, and cook large meals that feed me for days.
Hello all. I'm Fern Serrano, LMT #27227. I originally trained in California and came up to Oregon for the beautiful nature and wonderful culture around holistic healing. I’m very passionate about the mental and physical health benefits of massage including lowering stress and helping circulation throughout the body so it can keep doing what it’s meant to do. My style is best described as a light to medium pressure Swedish massage with influence from Shiatsu and Myofascial Therapy. With me you can expect anything from a full body relaxation massage to very focused work on painful/tense areas and anything in between. I believe slowly warming my way into the muscles is the most effective way for me to reach the deeper layers of tissue. I love to use hot towels in massage, the combination of heat and moisture really helps open up the muscles and can add a layer of relaxation to the service.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
