"Massage has proven to be safe and effective for people from all walks of life. Testing different forms of therapy is essential in finding those that suit your specific needs and is an integral aspect of holistic healthcare. Although 'holistic' and 'wellness' have become buzzwords in the healthcare industry, they encompass the idea that there are a multitude of individual needs that must be met in order to maintain a solid base-level of health. The concept is highly inclusive which makes room for progress and imagination. Many practitioners in holistic healthcare imagine a compassionate approach of community care that considers every person's needs in their entirety. It is my hope that with the resources listed here, and the offerings of our friends and neighbors, that you will find what you need to live a comfortable and meaningful life." ​ Jessi Pedersen (They/Them), LMT Washington Massage License - #60540879 Oregon Massage License - #20139     Jessi Pedersen is a Licensed Massage Therapist in Washington.
