I speak

English

I’m Rob, a licensed massage therapist and somatic bodyworker based in Vancouver, WA and I work with clients across the Portland metro area.

I trained at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland and at Baan Hom Samunphrai in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I center sex workers, queer and trans folks, and people of color. My practice is intentionally accessible with siding scale pricing for every session.

My work is relational. I don’t follow a fixed routine. I check in with you throughout, follow what your body is telling me and make sure you have a say in every moment. I’m attuned to your whole body: your breathe, your nervous system, the places you hold grief and the placed that are ready to let go. I offer deep, devotional attention, held with clear care and boundaries.

We start by talking about what your body needs that day. Then I work at your pace with full presence. Sometimes the body lets go of more than tension. When tears come, I make room for them. I start with you, keep you held and grounded and you never need to explain or hold it together. You leave feeling more at home in your body.

For people who want more time I offer an extended Journey thats opens with a tea ceremony and intention setting before the bodywork session.

FAQ

Where are you located?
Private in home studio, located in Vancouver, WA (just outside Portland, OR)
Who’s the space for?
Anyone looking for devotional, intuitive, trauma informed care. I center sex workers, queer & trans folks, and people of color.
Is this sexual?
No. My work is deep, relational, and attentive and it's always within my professional license in Washington and Oregon. There's no sexual touch.
What happens in a Bodywork Ceremony
We start with a dialogue about what's going on in your body and life. We talk about goals for our time together and agree on an intentions for the ceremony. We agree on boundaries before we start and I work at your pace, checking in throughout or as necessary. Seasonal herbal steam, aromatherapy, cupping and full body massage including face, scalp, hands and feet. Focused on relaxation— combining deep tissue, Swedish and Thai techniques. We close with time to pause and reflect together before we close the portal to our ceremony.
Tea Ceremony?
Slow poured. Intentional. Time to Sip and Spill Tea. This gives you time to fully arrive— spiritual and emotional and energetic support pre session. We open with a tea ceremony, share what you're carrying, and set an intention together that guides the bodywork. The session itself is longer and unhurried with time for quiet reflection before we close the portal to our ceremony.
Is it ok to cry? Or get emotional?
Yes. Supported emotional release is beautiful. Tears, laughter, shaking, and stillness are all normal ways the body releases that energy. I'll stay present with you and you’ll never have to explain or apologize.
Will Louie be there?
