About me

Hi there, my name is Ro (she/they). I’m a queer Massage Therapist residing in Portland, OR.

My passion for bodywork began with my own somatic healing journey in my mid 20s. I knew I needed to heal though my body and I dove into somatics head first. I devoted myself to yoga, dance, breathwork, meditation, embodiment practices, plant medicine ceremonies, and bodywork. In 2020, I studied Yoga asana and philosophy and in 2022, I was certified in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. In 2024, I graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts, and became licensed as a Massage Therapist. I bring my advanced trainings to the massage table, which allows me to work with the body intuitively and hold space for whatever arises.

I take a holistic approach to healing and wellness. With a belief in the body's innate ability to heal, I approach each session with a deep sense of reverence for the body's wisdom and resilience. My massage style is a combination of Swedish, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Craniosacral Therapy and Thai Massage. I bring presence, pace and breath to all sessions.

It is deeply important to me that my practice is a safe and affirming space for all people of marginalized identities. I strive to create an environment where clients feel seen, honored, and met with care and respect. I understand that healing work is deeply personal, and I am committed to holding space that is trauma-informed, consent-centered, and welcoming to all bodies, genders, and lived experiences.

When I'm not practicing bodywork, you can catch me IDing birds, snacking on fruit from neighborhood trees, and chatting with my cat Peeko. I look forward to working with you!
