Massage, or bodywork, and song are some of the most ancient forms of Medicine practice by our ancestors. The product of soft tissue and joint manipulation and resonance can seem like magic when applied intentionally and skillfully - the mind becomes quiet, the breath deepens, and our chronic aches, pains, worries are momentarily relieved.

I believe that the root of earthly woes is separation. Separation of self from our bodies. Separation from natural cycles. Separation of our voices from our truths.

My mission is to bridge that which seeks reunion; my intention is to be a guide towards your own saoirse (freedom).

What Clients Have to Say

"Saoirse is the first body worker I've ever had take my referred sensations seriously. I got so much more out of this session than I expected... I came in with limited ability to turn my head and was elated that I could see my blind spot afterwards!"

FAQ

Which Massage Modalities are Used?

Techniques and concepts I "draw" from are known to be utilized by the following practices: Swedish, Neuromuscular Therapy, Tuina, Thai, and Ashiatsu. Sarga CE classes will be completed in the end of March.

That being said, I would like to point out that we, as a society, enjoy demarcating concepts into neat little boxes and claiming knowledge as property. The truth is, everything inspires and influences everything, and when you break down each modality or lineage into isolated strokes, it becomes apparent that many are one and the same (same-same, but different).

What can I expect to experience during my Massage?

An intake interview will be performed where we discuss relevant health history and identify the goal for the treatment. You will be walked through a brief plan of the session, including body position and which areas are to be contacted, so that you may provide informed consent prior to getting on the table. An exit interview will be performed post-treatment to confirm whether the goal(s) w(ere)as reached, take note of what felt effective, and discuss any suggestions for continuing self-care and possible future treatments.

As a client, you are able to request changes to the plan prior to and during treatment, changes to the pressure or strokes applied, choose the level of dress in which you experience treatment (for treatments like Ashiatsu or Sarga, it is most effective with minimum clothing), and other ways to co-create the session.

Please note that certain massage techniques are contraindicated for certain lived experiences or pathologies; it is important for your safety that you disclose all pertinent information of your current health and health history to assure that the treatment does not worsen your condition and take away from any beneficial outcomes.

Do you accept Insurance?

I am credentialed to accept Heraya Health (Kaiser), PacificSource, Aetna, UHS, Cigna, and Optum at Heart Spring Health in Sellwood, Oregon and am in the process of expanding to other networks. If you are interested in booking an insurance-covered session, please follow this link.

Unfortunately, I do not currently accept insurance in my private practice, but plan to do so as I become more established in the industry.
