Hi, I'm Mikaela ✿ As a born and raised Alaskan having weathered many cold dark winters in tiny dry cabins, I came to appreciate the importance of self care for personal balance early on in life. I've always had a fascination with anatomy and the mind-body connection and knew that I wanted to work with people. I went on to pursue medical studies including some EMT training, became a Certified Yoga Instructor in 2015, and at some point Massage Therapy felt like the natural next step. In 2018 I moved to Portland where I attended East West College of the Healing Arts, and ended up in a career I never expected to love as much as I do. I bring my background of medical field studies, yoga instruction and continuing ed skills in different modalities to my work. My latest favorite modality is Ashiatsu (barefoot massage) and its the most popular service with my clients. I like to create a neutral and comforting environment & hold space for my clients to come as they are. I tailor each session to my client needs and like to leave room for communication, or silence for deep relaxation. My work is described as deep, slow paced, intuitive, detailed, relaxing and individualized. A typical session with me could include ashiatsu, deep tissue, myofascial work, cupping, warm therapy and gentle stretching. I am honored to do this work and to see the improvement in quality of life it brings to my clients. Thank you for trusting me with your bodywork needs! ♥
Go on, be a good friend and share MassageBook with them. They'll love you for it.
