Originally from Oahu Hawaii, competitive road cycling brought David to Portland, Oregon in 2009. This sparked his interest in a sports and movement oriented career.

David graduated from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2013 and is actively licensed in Colorado and Oregon.

Utilizing a variety of techniques ranging from myofascial release, deep tissue, sports massage (pre/post event) and trigger point therapy, David creates a customized treatment for patient’s specific needs. David’s bodywork can best be described as rehabilitative and goal oriented to help restore the bodies natural mobility and balance.

In David’s free time you can find him training or teaching Jiu Jitsu with his closest friends exploring the art of movement, timing and balance.

Kristen is a graduate of East-West College of the Healing Arts, and a Licensed Massage Therapist. She is an East Coast transplant, and loves being a part of the Portland community! Kristen specializes in trauma informed care, with a medical/therapeutic style. As an Army veteran, she is experienced in working with people coping with trauma, PTSD and anxiety. Her goal is to make everyone feel like they are the most important person in the world while they are on her table! She uses multiple techniques to bring about physical healing in the musculature, from gentle work to deep tissue release. Kristen believes that good communication is the foundation for successful healing, and works closely with clients to discover the source of any pain or discomfort. Massage has given her a way to help others cope with their experiences in a safe, inclusive, understanding environment.

When Kristen isn’t working or thinking about massage, she spends her time with family and friends. She loves to hike in the surrounding areas, visit the ocean, and travel any chance she can. She has three amazing (adult) children, and is blessed to have the two youngest living with her, who are also trans adults. So Kristen is personally familiar with many of the challenges the trans community faces, and considers herself an ally. Most of all, she feels that massage is her calling, and loves having the best job in the world!

Growing up on the sleepy seaside of Oregon, Leigh found joy wandering rolling forests and rocky beaches. In 2012, she drifted inland, spending several years developing her love of sweets as a pastry cook before attending the University of Western States for massage therapy. Leigh’s style blends a love of movement and condition-specific target work, using a clinical foundation of trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques (METs), myofascial work, sports therapy, and tool-assisted bodywork. In addition to that foundation, Leigh’s style is informed by the deep compressions and stretching of Thai massage and the rhythmic flow of Fijian.

Always looking to grow, Leigh is currently studying Sarga, a footwork-based myofascial modality out of Hawaii. When she isn’t developing her massage style, you can find her experimenting in the kitchen, attempting any number of arts and crafts, and reading through the never-ending stack of books on her bedside table.
