My experience sets me apart from other therapists. I continually educate myself so I can better serve your needs. If you are an athlete, equestrian or you have been in an accident I can reduce pain and help you toward "normalcy." My passion for excellence and helping others not only makes my life enjoyable but it helps you enjoy your life without pain more fully.

I work in the clinic setting as well as in the Corporate setting. My goal is to make you feel better so you can work or play better throughout the day.

 

 

 

2007 Graduate of East West College. Molly believes in treating the whole person, with a focus on Deep Tissue, MyoFascial and Thai Massage. She thinks its important to not only work on the areas of complaint, but to find the cause of the issue. She enjoys educating her clients on proper body mechanics and simple life style changes that can really make a difference.
People often ask me why I became a massage therapist and I simply tell them I get to go to work everyday and make people feel good. Who could ask for a better job than that?

 

 

 

As a Reiki Practioner for the past 17 years, I searched for ways to magnify my therapeutic scope of knowledge. In 2009 and 2010 I became a Licensed Massage Therapist, graduating from Anthem College. Focused on Eastern philosophy and fascinated by Chinese (styled) medicine, I strive to better the chi flow of each client, using mainly deep breathing, rocking, shaking and long thorough strokes. With an artistic mindset, I am always working toward improving my excellence.

When I started as a massage therapist in April of 2010, my goal was to change the way some people see massage. Rather than just for a luxurious spa treatment, I would like people to understand the clinical aspect of massage therapy. When people ask me what type of massage I do I can’t give a direct answer because I take pieces from all kinds of different modalities; ranging from Myofascial Release and Thai massage to Craniosacral.

The Massage Clinic has been a great opportunity for me - giving me a wide variety of venues in which to work, including athletic events, corporate offices and healthy lifestyle trade shows. In my short time as a massage therapist I have also been able to help a wide variety of patients, including people with medical conditions such as TMJD, Tendonitis, Chronic back pain and people recovering from serious injuries. I am glad to call The Massage Clinic my home and proud to say it’s what made me the Therapist I am today.

My 20 years of fitness experience helps me achieve the sensation my clients get. By continuing my education it helps me to inform my clients and to tailor their treatment sessions to fit their needs. My favorites are Pregnancy massage, Myofascial Release, Thai massage and Swedish. I frequently combine several different techniques to achieve desired results. I totally enjoy the feeling I get when someone walks out of my therapy room and says, "That was awesome!"

I received my first massage on my honeymoon over 15 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I was a banker in my former life and could never understand why I could be tired despite the fact I was sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day. I now understand how important it is to keep moving and use what I have learned in receiving body work to educate my clients in my care for them. I am a firm believer in "Do unto others."

I specialize in Manual Lymph Drainage, Energy, and Deep Tissue therapies. I am also certified in Reflexology. I customize each session to treat the body as a whole, focusing on the main areas of pain and stress as well as treating other areas that have to compensate for the pain. I work with my clients not for just a quick fix, but for continued therapy.

 

 

 

Beth Britton, LMT

I have a sincere passion for therapeutic massage. It is my utmost intention that each client receive precisely the type of body work required for their individual needs. I strongly believe that regular massage is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. I specialize in pain relief and the treatment and release of stubborn or chronically tight muscles as well as deep relaxation. In some cases we can speed the release with stretches during your session and ones to take home to help keep your muscles functioning fluidly. We will work together to provide you with timely and long lasting relief, relaxation and rejuvenation.

I was born and raised in Portland and massage has been a part of my life since I was a child. A lower back injury from gymnastics early on afforded me the position of first hand experience of the healing powers of massage and rehabilitation. After that, I felt that I wanted to be on the giving side of these disciplines, not just a recipient. I enjoy helping people come back from traumatic injury as well as sending their day to day tensions away with the depth and attention that my hands can afford. I listen carefully to what my clients say both with their minds and the subtle words that their bodies can tell me. I enjoy practicing deeper bodywork. I feel that my combined use of Trigger Point Release, Deep Tissue, Polarity, Myofascial and PNF techniques facilitate that communication between my clients and me. There is a strong connection between mind, body and spirit that is often neglected by each and everyone of us. We forget the healing power of human contact. I've seen the power of human touch help premature babies thrive and ease the pain of hospice patients. I've worked with Vietnam veterans and have used massage to help men trapped in the past come to terms with the present. Massage is an amazing art form that not only affects the soft tissue, but directly engages the nervous system. I'm a massage artist and I don't want to paint anything else.
