I have done a lot of…read moretraveling, getting massage in several countries, and I can easily say she is the best I have encountered. When she moved to Hawthorne about 15 years ago, I followed her even though it requires a 45 minute drive each way. Her treatment room is quite comfortable, and even has warm blankets in the winter. She does not try to engage you in conversation if you are there for peace and quiet. What I like best is that she doesn't slather you with greasy lotion or oil, using just a minimum to assist her careful attention to each muscle group. Her rates are competitive and she is easy to contact. It's just a wonderful experience.

I have been receiving Rolfing treatments for over 20 years from various practitioners throughout…read morethe United States. Martha Pfleeger without a doubt has been the most helpful. Rolfing combined with movement therapy has been truly transformative!!! Rolfing has addressed issues within my body that haven't been able to be changed with any other therapy: yoga, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic. I have seen life long and lasting results. My children, husband and I will be returning to Martha for years to come. I will be referring all of my clients to her as well. Thank You Martha!

I can't say enough good things about rolfing with Martha Pfleeger! She is a truly talented and…read morededicated healer. I began seeing her after experiencing stubborn pain and tightness in my hip, and her gentle, exploratory, and effective approach has helped me immensely. The NE 20th Ave. location is very convenient for driving and public transit, and the room itself is spacious and relaxing. I would recommend Martha to anyone who is looking for bodywork and rolfing. Don't be afraid to call her today! :)

Ok. I've been to a LOT of massage therapists in my life. Probably more than any of you reading…read morethis. I've been terribly disappointed with most of them, just satisfied with about 20% of them and THRILLED with about 5%. Ladies and gents, Ashley Mueller is in that top 5%. I started going to Ashley after I had ankle surgery, and after I quit physical therapy because it wasn't hardcore enough. I found myself in need of somebody with strong hands who knew everything about ankle/foot anatomy, and could get my muscles loose and blood flowing. My first session with Ashley I asked her, "should I show you where it's tight?" "No," she says, "I'll find it". I loved her cockiness...because she was RIGHT. She avoided the places I told her were still really sensitive, and went to town on the super tight post-surgery spots. Ashley's hands are so intuitive...and her elbows...I think...half the time I have no idea what part of her body she's using on me. She's strong, smart, and will listen to what you want. Even though I began going to her for my broken ankle, I've had her work on my legs, butt, shoulders, jaw...I'm telling you, this chick is INSANELY SKILLED. Oh, and if you've had surgery, she's also EXCELLENT at scar massage (which you'll need at some point and it's really hard and gross to do yourself). Also, she's a yoga instructor and can help you find stretches to alleviate some of your pain on your own. 2 for 1. I'm new to PDX and I have no reason to look any further. I've found my gal.

She introduced different approaches, like therapeutic cupping, at-home stretches, and even referring me to other resources that would help. I am happy to say, that pinched nerve is alleviated, and I have Amy to thank for that. Now, I go to spoil myself every once in a while. I was just so lucky to find Medicine Tree, it's a small yet inviting space that makes me feel at home. I'm looking to try some of their other services like the Herbal soak or the stone treatment!

Her space is so calming and comfortable, and the massage she gives is a great blend of relaxing and therapeutic. When I leave her office, I can count on feeling completely blissed out plus that feeling of having serious knots worked out. She has a great program for clients who receive monthly or twice monthly massage, which you'll probably want to sign up for once you experience how great she is. Highly recommend!

I entered as a walk in customer and the lovely therapist working there said she would be happy to squeeze me in for a cupping session. I was eager to try as I never have done cupping before and the therapist (I've forgotten her name, I'm sorry!) was amazing. So friendly and willing to help. She explained everything to me as I'm a newbie to Chinese medicine. She definitely is professional and knowledgeable in her field. I feel great after my session and hope to return for more treatment.

I started seeing Helen about 5 months ago, and have seen her once a week ever since. She is…read moreincredibly professional, great at what she does, and the results have been phenomenal! I began seeing Helen for a number of issues, which included anxiety, intestinal health, and chronic headaches. The progress that I have seen in each of these areas is truly a testament to Helen as an individual, and also to Chinese Medicine as a whole. Thinking outside of the box, and looking at Chinese Medicine with an open mind was the first step, and is what inspired me to set up my initial appointment. Over the course of the year prior, I visited 12 different specialists, spent thousands of dollars, and saw NO results from traditional Western medicine. Repeated testing was done, many different hypotheses were given, but still I saw no change in my symptoms. After visiting Jade Acupuncture for the first time, Helen gave the first hypothesis that made any sense, and thus, we began a treatment schedule that reflected her theory. As I said, the results have been phenomenal. I would recommend Helen to anyone, and am truly a believer in Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture can be used to treat a number of different symptoms or ailments, so give Helen at Jade Acupuncture a call to figure out the best course of action for yourself!

You wouldn't know it by watching me in the movies, but I'm....delicate…read more I've got a lot of old injuries. There's a bullet lodged in one of my shoulders. I've got a reconstructed knee that has a hard time staying properly assembled (with 2 wonky previously torn ligaments running through it). I've got an ankle that I never got treated when I shattered it in a freak pod racing accident, and now it's not quite right. I've got old injuries from prior lightsaber duels, phaser pistol burns, encounters with lava, etc. What can I say? I'm complicated beyond the intricacies of getting this outfit on. Most masseuses screw me up on some level. Hell, one had me limping for over 4 months after 40 minutes with them. And then the Lady Vader found Tahlia for me. And the clouds parted, the sun basked its warm glow upon me, the birds started chirping, my pet Bantha finally housebroke himself....and yes, I had finally found a top-notch masseuse. In all the rubdowns I got from her, not once did she screw up one of my many excessively beat down components. Not once did I go in there barely able to stand from a crouched position and leave without feeling infinitely better. And not one time did she attempt to plunge a lightsaber into my back and claim the bounty on my head, which is always a bonus. I'm typically a very harsh reviewer of masseuses, because so many of them are so damn incompetent. I can't say enough good things about her skills. She is truly a master of her craft. If I could, I would import her up here to Seattle just for my personal use as I have not been able to find a competent one up here, but alas, she likes cheese a bit too much (it's an inside thing). I'm docking her a point because her bookkeeping is...well, it's not as up to snuff as her abilities as a masseuse. If she hired someone to handle the AP/AR aspect of the business, she'd be perfect. But so long as you don't need timely receipts to submit to your insurance, you can't go wrong here. 4 Deathstars.

I recently had the good fortune to be treated to a massage by Thalia. When asked about the level of…read morefirmness I would like, I smiled serenely and said "gimme all you've got". I actually felt bad for Thalia a few times during our session, because I don't think she was expecting such a chore. My back is so knotted up that I would event venture to say my back is one giant knot! She checked in with me repeatedly through the session to make sure I was happy with the pressure, and even laughed a few times about a particularly stubborn area. Although the experience was by no means relaxing, it was exactly what I needed, and I slept like a baby that evening. Can't wait to go back!
