Hi, I’m Nicole

Licensed Massage Therapist in Portland, OR. As a Massage Therapist & bodyworker, I hope to nurture the link between mind and body, while creating fluidity & ease within the structures that keep you stressed or in pain.

My goal is for you to come in as you are,

and leave feeling relaxed and restored.

Why

Client Centered?

Client centered means that I listen to you first, our sessions are always designed around your needs for that day. Some things I hear a lot from clients are that massages helps them relax, support anxiety relief, support injury recovery, reduce muscle tension or pain, many times due to things like long hours sitting at a desk, daily activities, stress of the world etc etc.

Massage can help support getting you back to your best self.

My style as a practitioner is always guided by listening to you and what you are working through- the muscles and structures that may be tight, pulling, or stuck due to stress, anxiety, injury, or simply being a human in 2025.

For whatever the reason, this discomfort can lead to even more stress. It’s a pain to be in pain!

Are you trauma-informed?

While I am trained in Trauma Informed bodywork, and aim to practice from a Trauma Informed perspective, I recognize that none of us are completely trauma-informed, and everyone’s trauma presents different needs. I practice with the intention to create a safe(r) space for all bodies, genders, and identities.

We will always touch base and chat when you arrive and make any adjustments you need to feel comfy and relaxed during your massage. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me before booking if you have any questions. (Also, see FAQ’s for more details about my space etc). 

I do not subscribe to any one particular massage theory or modality. Instead, I listen to you and your body and pull from many techniques that may work best for you and your body in that particular session.

Spa Treatments as Nervous System Support?

In addition to different massage modalities, I highly value the use of stress-reducing tools for nervous system and tension reduction- like Aromatherapy, dry brushing, scrubs, steams, the healing quality of heat, etc- commonly referred to in a bodywork settings as Spa Treatments, -to help your body settle into it’s natural parasympathetic state. 

Many of these tools have been categorized in the West as Spa Treatments in recent years, but they have been used for thousands of years by many different cultures to cultivate stress reduction, pain management, and to help increase quality of life.

“Nicole is a phenomenal practitioner. I feel more calm from the moment I enter their space and always leave feeling fantastic.”

-T.M

  • "Working regularly with Nicole has greatly improved my quality of life. Their touch calms my mind and nervous system while helping immensely with chronic pain. The personalized treatments target whatever needs attention that day, taking the whole picture into account. Working with Nicole means that I can stay active and keep doing what I love."

    Lauren M.

  • "Nicole has consistently given me the best massages of my life. The actual massage is relaxing and they are incredible responsive to feedback regarding pressure and different places. Nicole also creates such a safe space for the massage, making sure the client is comfortable and knows everything that is happening. I would recommend her immensely for whatever you need. Whether it is just a relaxing hour, or deep pressure for sore and tight muscles, Nicole will make your life better."

    S.B.

  • "I have been seeing Nicole for massage for over 2 years… Nicole has such a healing energy and seems to intuitively know what I need! She takes time to listen empathetically prior to each session and checks in throughout each massage, yet also allows me space to relax/ zone out! I always feel like each session is tailored to me as an individual & I always leave feeling better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether you have existing discomfort or you need time to relax, I absolutely recommend Nicole."

    Chelsea C.

  • "Nicole combines deep knowledge and intuition to create the absolute highest quality massages. The massage space is clean and inviting with pretty lights (that I find myself drifting into!). We discuss any target areas and preferences and then I feel safe to just melt onto the table. I have lower spine issues and Nicole checks in throughout the treatment to ensure I'm most comfortable. I always leave feeling nourished! I highly recommend Nicole!"

    Felicia O.

  • "Nicole is awesome! My wife bought me sessions with Nicole and, well, it took a while to get in there initially. I am the type who always has something else to do besides take care of myself. Especially a massage... Once I finally went, my only wish was that I had gone sooner. Nicole's approach is not cookie cutter. She took time to discover and address challenges I didn't even know I had. They say there is a top 2% in any field and I believe Nicole is that for massage."
