Wild Hart Massage - Portland

This session offers attentive, hands-on therapeutic bodywork tailored to your needs. The focus may be specific—addressing areas of tension or discomfort—or more general, supporting overall balance and restoration.

Sessions are guided by your goals and your body’s feedback rather than a preset routine. Techniques are applied thoughtfully and adjusted in real time to support comfort, effectiveness, and ease. This is a solid foundation for both first-time clients and those seeking consistent, responsive care.

Best for:
General therapeutic care, pain or tension patterns, stress relief, and ongoing body maintenance.

Therapeutic Bodywork Session

This session focuses on the interconnected patterns of the jaw, neck, shoulders, and upper torso. Work may include external jaw work, neck and shoulder release, and other techniques that support ease and coordination through the upper body.

Sessions are paced carefully, with attention to comfort and nervous system response. The goal is not forceful release, but improved mobility, awareness, and relief from habitual holding patterns.

Best for:
Jaw tension, TMJ-related discomfort, neck and shoulder strain, headaches, and upper-body stress patterns.

Jaw, Neck & Upper Body Integration

This session emphasizes pacing, presence, and regulation of the nervous system. The work is slower and more attuned, supporting the body’s capacity to settle, reset, and respond rather than pushing for deep mechanical change.

Touch is applied thoughtfully, with attention to breath, sensation, and overall state. This session is designed to support safety, grounding, and internal coherence.

Best for:
Stress, burnout, nervous system fatigue, overwhelm, and clients seeking a gentler, regulating approach to bodywork.

Nervous System–Focused Session

This session is designed to support integration — the process of making sense of and settling experiences into the body after periods of change, insight, or intensity. The work blends therapeutic touch, nervous system support, and paced presence to help your system reorganize and find coherence.

Sessions may involve slower pacing, spacious dialogue, and body-led exploration rather than a purely outcome-driven approach. This offering is especially supportive following psychedelic journeys, major life transitions, emotional processing, or moments where the body feels “caught between” chapters.

Touch is used as a stabilizing and orienting tool — helping sensations, emotions, and awareness land safely in the present moment. The goal is not to force resolution, but to create conditions where integration can happen naturally.

Best for:
Post-journey integration, life transitions, emotional processing, or clients seeking body-based support for making meaning and finding steadiness after intense experiences.

Somatic Integration Session

This extended session combines in-depth bodywork with guided conversation and reflective inquiry. The work explores how physical tension, emotional patterns, and personal narratives may be organizing in the body.

Sessions include a longer intake, at least 90 minutes of hands-on bodywork, and time afterward for integration. Symbolic tools or reflective prompts may be used to support meaning-making, but are not used for diagnosis or prediction. This session is intended as a foundation for ongoing integrative bodywork.

Best For:
Clients seeking a deeper, more exploratory bodywork experience, especially during periods of transition, stress, or when recurring patterns are showing up physically.

This offering is not a performance or spiritual service. Any symbolic or reflective tools are used as prompts for personal inquiry rather than divination, diagnosis, therapy, or treatment.

Animistic Bodywork — Initial Session

This follow-up session continues the work established during an Animistic Bodywork Initial Session. The focus is shaped by what emerged previously and may include extended bodywork, brief relational check-in, and optional integration time.

Sessions remain non-directive and responsive. Bodywork is guided by agreements made collaboratively, informed by your health history, background, and the ongoing themes you are exploring. Conversation is limited intentionally to support your own internal process rather than interpretation or advice.

Best For:
Clients who have completed an Animistic Bodywork Initial Session and wish to continue integrative, body-centered work over time.

This offering is not psychological therapy, spiritual guidance, or divination. Any reflective or symbolic tools are used as optional prompts for awareness and meaning-making, not for interpretation, diagnosis, or direction.

Animistic Bodywork - Follow-Up

This session offers full therapeutic bodywork at a reduced educational rate for current massage students. The session is approached with the same care, professionalism, and attention as standard offerings.

The focus may be general or targeted, depending on your needs. This offering is intended to support students’ bodies while they are actively training and learning.

Best for:
Massage therapy students seeking affordable, high-quality therapeutic care.

Student Massage Session

This offering provides one-on-one teaching and mentorship for bodyworkers, students, and practitioners seeking support in skill development, body awareness, or professional growth.

Sessions may include hands-on instruction, movement exploration, observation with feedback, or guided discussion, depending on your goals and experience level. This work is collaborative and educational rather than therapeutic in nature.

Best For:
Massage therapy students, bodyworkers, and practitioners seeking personalized instruction, mentorship, or guidance in their learning or professional development.
