About
I offer a variety of modalities of massage and personalize my treatments based on my clients needs and preferences. My treatments are deeply relaxing and very effective for addressing pain, relieving tension and boosting immunity, addressing many other types of imbalances. Sessions could include a variety of techniques including Swedish deep tissue, tui-na, cupping, guasha and other techniques though the foundation of my main style called Amma Therapy. Amma is an ancient form of Asian bodywork developed to open the meridians and stimulate the acupoints using deep, curcular motions with the hands or other tools. This therapy provides all the benifits of massage combined with the thereputic affect of acupuncture, only without needles. It is a style not many have heard of, but you won't be disappointed and your body will thank you :)
I am available to treat out of my office in NE Portland, and I also offer my services to people in their homes if the space and it's inhabitants meet certain Covid safety protocols.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to book a session. I look forward to hearing from you. -Stephanie
My favorite part of my practice is having an opportunity to work with my client to create lasting changes to improve their health and well being. Each person is unique and has different needs and goals. I enjoy adapting my treatment to fit the individual.

How did you get started in this business?
I was inspired to learn Chinese Medicine through studying with my martial arts school and my love of herbal medicine. I am a health care advocate and strongly believe that everyone should have accessibility to quality affordable preventative care as well as necessary medical intervention. I used to organize a donation based health clinic offering access to a wide variety of nature based health modalities and owned and oppoerated a wellness center to do what I could to further the cause.

I have had all types of clients in many stages of life. Amma is appropriate and effective for almost anyone. I have treated anything from acute injury or surgery recovery to digestive imbalances, sleep issues, migraines, chronic neck/ back pain, fatigue, anxiety and more.
