I've been going to Body Aware Massage for years. I have chronic back spasms that come and go depending on my stress, exercise and injury. I have had many massages to deal with back pain, and although the other therapists I have been to are wonderful. I was looking for neuromuscular help more than a 'me day' massage. I have found the right therapist in Harmony Haney. I'm hooked. The first time I went to Harmony I had been unable to walk for 2 days, and after our first treatment I was able to move and perform the relief/prevention exercises she showed me. Harmony has created such a welcoming and calm environment that belies the intensity of her technique, that I was almost surprised after my first visit. She asked questions and got to know my body and was emotionally present as well. Her advice and instruction for post-massage is knowledgeable and effective. Now, as a regular client I am able to better recognize bad patterns or form that cause my back issues. When I do over-do it I have Harmony to get me back to a comfortable place with less downtime and repetitive movement injury. As a competitive paddler I would highly recommend Harmony for anyone who pushes their body (sometimes too hard) for relief with both the immediate physical repercussions of injury and the prevention of repetitive use issues. Although I do like my massages intense I also appreciate the relaxing aspects of Harmony's practice. She makes you feel instantly comfortable and welcome, with special personal touches that invoke a spa-like feel, and an atmosphere of relaxation and compassion. She combines healing and wisdom with bad-ass muscle bending skills that will keep me coming back forever. read more

I go to Body Aware regularly and the massage therapists here have helped me so much with chronic pain. The space is clean and relaxing. I am grateful that they take insurance as it makes regular massage more accessible! read more

I've been treated by a couple of massage therapists here for over a year but have had sessions with all the therapists. Aradia and Christine are both excellent massage therapists and I always leave feeling relaxed and amazing. Massage is a great way to de-stress so treat yourself, you will be happy that you did! read more

I went to see Aradia on my Birthday. I booked a 90 minute massage to treat myself. Aradia was pleasant and I appreciate the covid protocols taking into place during my time. However, this massage was nothing close to satisfying. I would of preferred more movement in her technique other than holding down pressure on parts of my back and neck. I left with knots still in my back and in a very unpleasant mood unfortunately. It took away from my birthday and I was highly disappointed. Especially for the price I was charged. read more

I have seen Harmony every month for for nearly 18 months, and I love how I feel after every session. First, what a great space for a massage: smells calming, warm, soothing music, plenty of space to not make me feel claustrophobic. Second are the choices I have for duration and types of massage and amenities. Go for the 90 minute therapeutic and get some CBD oil and hot stones. Third is how much I love Harmony- she is a wonderful human being, a turkey skilled massage therapist and a sweet person. She knows how to fix what's aching. Can't recommend this place more! read more

I have to leave another review about this place. Y'all, these folks are the best around! I've had massage with Rebecca, Travis and Kira and they are all incredible. I landed in Portland two years ago...lost and feeling separation. Body Aware Massage as helped me so very much find my way back with the exceptional services they provide. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Just Love this place! I'm here once a week and it's always awesome. I've received thousands of massages from different folks throughout my life, and I keep coming back to Rebecca here because the experience is transcendent and that's what I'm after. read more

I'm really grateful for the care I am receiving from Rebecca after being rear ended. She listens closely to my concerns, and fine tunes the medical massages she is giving me to meet my needs. The space is beautiful and relaxing. read more

I'm kind of picky about any place I visit. I thoroughly review something online through Yelp or do online research via their website before making an appointment anywhere. I'm especially wary about blindly booking massages where a complete stranger is touching your bare body. Yeah, best believe I investigated things to the tee. So happy that I stumbled upon Body Aware Massage. I receive medical massages through work and am allotted to use a certain amount every year. After reading some great reviews of this place and learned about how conveniently located it was, I booked my appointment with Ariel (ah-ree-el). Body Aware is literally located right above Townshend's Teahouse. If you go to the right of the teahouse, you'll see a door up ahead. Just follow the signs and there you'll find some zen. Ariel is amazing in so many ways. She's addressed so many issues I didn't even know I had. She could tell where I was more tense and based on my job, how it was affecting my body. She's found things that I didn't even know were bothersome (i.e. my IT band)! She really works out the kinks and even suggests ways of improvement so that my body can be healthier and less sore. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. She's a great person to talk with if you're in the chatty mood, but if you want your peace too, she respects that. Let her take away all the pain! I'm already going back this week. It's that good. read more

There is something about positive human touch for 75 minutes that makes you feel incredible, and I guess having all of the knots in your back rubbed out is a total plus. Tate is fantastic, always checks in to make sure things are feeling okay and wants to know of any places on your body that needs some extra attention. Love their space above Townsheds. It's quiet and relaxing and everything you need to feel 100% comfortable, and bonus points for being able to book online. There's usually an appointment within the same week you need/want/are craving a massage. I've had some massages in the past, but nobody has ever made my sore body feel better than Tate has. Treat yo self! read more

Came here for my very first massage. Left feeling like a whole new person. Very kind and relaxing. I did get a little lost because it's kind of hidden in the back but so worth it. read more

Harmony picked the best music to help me drift into another world. The space is clean, comforting and plush with all the lovely stones and minerals to help all who enter to immediately melt. I felt safe, cozy and energetically held before I even got on the table. We started by going over any pains or aches. I didn't feel rushed like other massage therapists have made me feel in the past. I received a 90 minute massage with the stone and oil add ons and it was a truly valued experience that felt like a luxurious three hours. The next day, I felt a flush of being clear headed and creatively inspired. Thank you Harmony! read more

Incredible. Actually very credible. Heck, both! I've had 2 massages here, both by Tate. Both times it's been due to back and shoulder pain. And each time I've walked our basically pain-free. Okay, I lied. I didn't walk... I casually sauntered! :) Making payments is super easy as they use Square. The environment is relaxing. And (Tate at least) really listened to what I was saying and asked questions about where I hurt before beginning. They really seem interested in helping you feel great, not just give you a massage and be done with it. Highly recommended. read more

"Aradia was incredible. I have been experiencing neck and shoulder pain and poor circulation since I was young. After my second massage with Aradia I felt for the first time in years what it's like to be free of pain. I had no idea I could feel so good. I had no idea what health I was missing out on. I've been to so many massage therapists about these issues and none have come even remotely close to the healing that Aradia was able to provide." This was a review of Aradia that I wrote awhile back and it is as true today as it was then. Aradia has continued to provide stellar body work and somehow always knows precisely what I need. She pays attention and really listens. In today's economy you have to choose wisely where you spend your money as most of us can't afford to try something new only to find out that it wasn't our thing. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN WITH ARADIA. I'm glad to say that her work is worth every penny (and more in my opinion!). She will put that pep back in your step and make you feel years younger. It is because of all of these things and her innate kindness that she has gained a lifelong client as far as I'm concerned. read more

Aradia is simply a wonderful massage therapist. She is interested in the work she does and has a highly attuned ability to make you feel comfortable and cared for. Ask her to use her feet! The work is slow, thoughtful and deeply relaxing. I'm getting relaxed just thinking about it. Lovely space and lovely person. read more

I have recently been seeing Travis since Aradia was on vacation and I have to say Travis s so well skilled in his practice of Massage and especially when it comes to helping release of a lot of Myofascial issues . I can't recommend him enough . I was in a car accident his year and he has helped me extremely with my recovery as well. read more

I've been getting massages from Aradia Willow for years; she's highly trained and experienced. I like her nurturing presence and I always leave without the aches and pains I walked in with. You know what else I like? She models release breathing...rather than reminding me to breathe. I also like that massage oil she uses. I don't leave feeling like a grease bag. The space is convenient, easy to find, and beautiful. Earth tones, pretty wood furniture, and best of all, she plays quiet ethnic music instead of new agey synth music. Yep. read more

I never thought I'd say that the best part of a massage was walking away from it, but...Let me explain. When my husband bought us a couples massage for our anniversary, I was skeptical. I'd been to Aradia before, so I wasn't at all worried about the quality of the massage, but I just wondered what the point was--it seemed like the whole thing could be awkward. But I realized I was being silly when my husband and I entered the cozy and relaxed room above the tea house. It looked pretty, it smelled great, and the therapists were casual and friendly in a way that made us feel instantly comfortable. It was nice to see my husband treating himself and getting some good body work--he's not the kind of person who would normally shell out for a massage. Although I totally enjoyed my excellent massage, I also really enjoyed walking away from it with my husband. So often in a marriage you experience stress together, but this time we had a shared experience of complete relaxation. A great alternative to your typical date night. read more

Cecily is one of the best massage therapists that I've ever had work done by. I have a reoccuring achey shoulder and she knows how to really get in there and take care of the trouble spots. Her deep tissue massage is great- I leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Cecily really cares about her work and helping others and it shows. read more

Aradia was excellent! Fantastic massage overall. I was really in need, and looking for someone with an experienced and caring touch. Aradia accomplished all that and then some. I left this massage feeling both relaxed and rejuvenated - which is sometimes a tricky balance to achieve. Her pressure was both sensitive and firm, creating just the right amount of release. I especially enjoyed the Ashiatsu techniques she performed (had never tried this before) and would very much recommend. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable and attractive. Overall a really wonderful experience! read more

I made a commitment to myself to do something for me on a regular basis. I have always loved getting massages so I randomly found Body Aware and picked Kira as my massage therapist. OMG I love her! I have been seeing her for 4 months now, once a month. She is so kind and thoughtful. She remembers everything I share with her and is really supportive emotionally when I need it. She is very intentional in her work. I always hate when one side of my body gets a different treatments than the other. She is always equally attentive. If you need extra support in a certain area, she always attends to it. I am always so happy when I leave my hour with Kira. I am so ready for my next massage with her. She is amazing! read more

You guys are the best! So intuitive and thorough. I feel like I've just had the best yoga stretch and bath of my life. I highly recommend this experience to anyone. If I had my way I'd come here every day!! read more

Just got finished having such a wonderful massage from Kira. She got into all the nooks and crannies of my muscles that were filled with tension, which was just what I needed after a big hike two days ago. Her intuition was spot on and I never had to ask for less or more pressure. The atmosphere was lovely with relaxing music and tasteful decor. I will be going back very soon as massage is a must in good self care. read more

We just had a couples' massage at Body Aware, and it was extremely relaxing. The room was comfortable and our masseurs both took care of us, customizing our experience for our needs. I'm only taking a star off because the waiting area feels a little unfinished. It's a pretty cosmetic issue, but it did slightly affect the vibe before the amazing massage happened. read more

How the heck do you make an appointment? Their website doesn't load at all. I tried 3 different browsers (Safari, Puffin, Firefox, iOS 10.3), and I'm not having connectivity issues (their Yelp page loaded quickly/normally and I'm posting this with no problems). I even walked in and there was no place/way to leave a note or request an appointment. read more

I've been massaged by Travis twice, so far, and I'm looking forward to my next. Travis does a great job at deep tissue massage, which I benefit from the most. I leave my sessions relaxed. He's great. read more

I recently saw Travis for a massage. I was looking for some support because my neck and shoulders were really tight and painful. He was really skilled, gentle yet effective and found great relief. I also really appreciated some exercise recommendations he gave for me to practice at home to both build muscle and increase flexibility to help my body from getting too tight again. Highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for a great massage. read more

I have enjoyed multiple massages from Travis Jonquil, usually shiatsu syle. He is absolutely fantastic in his intuitive approach. He is through and conscientious and if i could afford it, i would have weekly sessions. Highly recommended! read more

One of the most unprofessional places I have ever done business with. Which was shocking because the other reviews lead me to think differently. I scheduled a massage online with Aradia, 3 minutes before my massage I got a call from her. She told me that the scheduling had gotten mixed up. I get it - technology. We decided to reschedule for the next day. As a new client I showed up 15 minutes early, to fill out paper work and all. I then sat and waited for 25 minutes. She had stood me up. I called her cell as well as the number on yelp and there was no answer. I left and went about my day but never received a call back. Very disappointed!! read more

My visit was just OK. My session was with Aradia and while it wasn't a bad experience, it was lacking. I never have a great sense of time when I'm on the table and I was very surprised that she totally neglected the 1 spot I went out of my way to mention to her that needed attention. I had a hip surgery last year and told her the area was tight and needed some additional work, she did the rest of my body and then told me time was up. Maybe it was a miscommunication but I left in a bad mood which should be the total opposite after a massage. read more

Aradia offered me another massage because she wanted to make sure I had a good experience... or rather, update my earlier review. This second massage was good - I almost fell asleep on the table and had some movement restored to my shoulder. I was really impressed that she wanted to make sure I had a better massage and was ready to give another star until she asked before I left to make sure I'd do an update. I don't know how many people she specifically asks (both immediately after the massage, and then in a later email) to update their yelp reviews... that was a turn-off. Sorry... but being honest. Three stars are solid "A-OK"; it doesn't mean "bad." I would give four this time, but it truly wasn't the best massage I've had in my life (although it was good) and I really don't like being bugged about a review. So yeah, I'll be "that guy/gal." Sorry! read more

Rebecca did a fabulous job relieving tension and focused on my areas of concern. The music playing was very soothing with a comfortable atmosphere to relax. Lots of street parking located UPSTAIRS :) Going regularly is key so I will be back :) $105 for 90-min massage was worth it! read more

Aradia is a miracle worker. Professional, pleasant, and the best Masseuse I have ever been to. She always knows where my body needs help and I can feel the benefits for a long while afterwards. She well trained and I can tell she loves what she does. The space is beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable. I recommend Aradia to everyone I know and have always heard great responses. read more

I dunno, I just enjoy the feeling of being touched. All I have to do is nothing and like most things in life, I enjoy gaining knowledge, feelings, emotions, and the sort by doing nothing at all. It's what I do best. Come to this place, get a massage and do what I do best. Nothing. read more

Tate is amazing! I've never had a massage before, so naturally, it was the best massage ever. But seriously, I don't know that I have ever felt so relaxed. Tate was really great about explaining what my massage was going to be like, and checked in with me a couple times throughout the massage. I left feeling totally refreshed and relaxed. The price was really reasonable too! I will definitely be back again. Thanks Tate! read more

Fantastic Massage! I have had 4 massages so far and each one was wonderful. Aradia is skilled, her pacing is perfect and she is very genuine. She knows how to quiet your body and mind down. I've also had Harmony work on me and she too, is skilled, caring and intuitive. They are both quite different, but I love both of their styles! Each time I've arrived with my back in complete spasm and each time I've left with complete relief. The rooms are very spacious, the space is quite and clean. Both therapists are concerned with your comfort as to temperature and pressure. I think that with Aradia's wonderful ability to connect with people, she's hand picked the perfect team of healers to help you. This is the first place that I would not hesitate to try all of the therapists, as I feel confident that they will all give relief to my aching back :) Thank you Aradia and Harmony!! read more

Harmony is hands down the best massage therapist/ energy worker in Portland! I've had chronic back pain my whole life and after a few visits and a lot of stretching I'm healed! She has such an amazing ability to immediately put my body into relax mode. Also I would say that a massage is an understatement, you're getting a full on relaxing healing experience. Thanks harmony you're the best! read more

As my first review on my first massage, I am stoked to say my cherry has been popped. Although the side door entrance and the upstairs location was a little difficult to find, the feeling of a massage was well worth it. Celebrating a late valentine, me and the gf signed up for a couples massage and with a quick jump on yelp we scored a free hot stone upgrade. After one full hour of a sweet massage we left Body Aware hooked. Coming back will be no problem. read more

My go-to massage place, and my favorite therapist for over 15 years! I follow Aradia around and am so glad she's in this space, the location is the best. Aradia has helped me with general wear and tear on my body, as I work as a professional dancer and choreographer. She has also helped me recover from a pretty awful car accident. Her therapeutic knowledge is unparalleled. One million stars!!! read more

Rebecca is amazing! I have been seeing her monthly for 8 months and have experienced relief from some chronic pain issues thanks to her expertise and skill. Whether you need regular care or just stopping in for an occasional massage, you should go see Rebecca! Bonus, they take some insurance plans and the studio spaces are lovely. Try the CBD oil, it adds to the relaxing experience! read more
