History
Although True North Massage was born in the summer of 2009, I have been a practicing massage therapist since I graduated from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2003. Over time, I gathered the experience and courage I needed to let go of other jobs and spend my time and energy in private practice. I also taught at East West College of the Healing Arts for almost 9 years. True North is about direction -- finding the right path for you toward greater health and wellness. It's also a reference to my birthplace, Alaska.
Specialties
I provide subtle, creative, and client-centered massage in NE Portland. My specialties include myofascial techniques, Swedish, trigger point therapy, passive positional release, and prenatal massage. These modalities allow me to offer targeted bodywork that feels good and gets results. Recover from injuries, decrease stress, and have a healthier pregnancy! I am in-network with Kaiser, Lifewise, Regence Blue Cross, Providence, UHG, and Cigna. I can also bill some out-of-networks plans, as well as motor vehicle insurance.
