My migraine is gone after my massage! I had a stubborn migraine headache for a week. I booked a 90 min massage with Alice and my headache is finally gone. I've been to a few migraine specialist Portland OR before and haven't been able to find anything that helped. And there's nothing worse than a migraine.
If you've had one, you know what I mean, they're terrible. So when Alice said she might be able to help, I was skeptical, but willing to try. She listened to my concerns, focused on exactly what I needed and pretty soon it magically released. I am super picky about massage. My mother is an amazing LMT, but she doesn't live here.

As a person rehabilitating from a traumatic spinal cord injury, let me say, Alice has been invaluable in my recovery. Her ability to read and listen to my body’s needs as it heals and grows stronger. Her intelligence, compassion, and strength, have been relentless in helping my body rehabilitate. She has connected me with several different therapeutic modalities to accelerate my bodies reinneravition. She is a fiercely intuitive professional with a kind kind heart.

I started seeing Alice for tmj and neck pain, and have since seen her for help with chronic pain from old sports hip and shoulder injuries and SI joint instability. She’s so knowledgeable, and has seriously strong hands. If you are in pain and need a skilled, intelligent massage, Alice is your person.

Alice has been a lifesaver. As a pregnant mother of a 1yo, I was really struggling to keep myself comfortable in the third trimester, but I didn’t have the time to leave the house for a massage every week. Alice would come to my home and perform miracles on my back and neck, making those last few weeks bearable. After having the baby, my time has become even more precious and my body needs even more care. Alice’s gentle and intuitive touch has helped me restore my posture and mobility. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her.

Alice is intuitive, kind, and fun. Her office is clean, soft, and modern. Made me feel calm right as I walked through the door. Her massage technique is very intuitive, but also client specific which is extremely important. She worked with me on my neck that when I first went in was a wreck, however by the end of the session I had almost zero pain.

Had the most amazing work done, I am hesitant to call it a massage since what Alice does is not just massage. Alice is a healer, very intuitive and finds and works through the areas of injury and pain restoring balance in return. She worked through areas of tension and released things that I have grown accustomed to just living with for many years. I am waking up now after two sessions with Alice feeling good in my body and pain free for the first time in decades.

Alice is the best masseuse I've ever had. After stress made an old neck injury flare up, I was so lucky to have Alice help me out. She asked really smart questions, listened carefully, and quickly zoned in on the issue. She released all the tension it was causing in my back and shoulders. She's petite but super strong, and seems to have magic fingers. Massages with others had eased the discomfort for only hours or a day. Her relaxing massage made my neck (and my soul!) feel better for weeks. Alice knows what she's doing, she cares, and I'm confident that she'll give you a well-deserved, heavenly
