Aloha to all! I am grateful to be a part of Eastside Athletic Club!! I have been a massage therapy practitioner since 2007.
My massage school training originates in Hawaii (Kauai) and I have lived in the Pacific NorthWest since 2010.
I believe our body’s have an innate ability to heal itself. I specialize in therapeutic massage with the intent to facilitate balance in the body. Using a variety of modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Technique, Trigger Point Therapy, Muscle Energy Technique, Proprioceptor Neuromuscular Facilitation and Stretching, my intent is to create a relaxed state in the body and mind while tending to your individual needs.
My years of experience began in spas on the island of Kauai and has evolved to include working with a variety of injuries including whiplash, work related injuries, sciatica, TMJ, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, headaches, etc.
I value helping people understand more about their body and the importance of self care to progressively reach a point of living without pain. With an intuitive, mindful and thorough approach my goal is to help each individual feel his or her best. Stop in! I am looking forward to working with you! I am also a preferred provider with Regence Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

As a native Portlander, I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2004. My main goal is to help people out of pain. I have successfully treated clients for car accident injuries, (specializing in whiplash, back pain, headaches and low back pain) as well as work related injuries such as computer overuse. I aim to provide relaxation massage for times when you just need to decompress. From experience, education, using intuition and numerous massage tools (Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial, and stretching) I have found this effective in helping to treat each client. I am also a preferred provider with Regence Blue Cross /Blue Shield. ~Holly
