Paul is truly an expert in what he does! He makes every session feel custom and unique based on how your body is feeling in that moment. He always seems to find areas of tightness and tension and I feel extremely relieved after every visit. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a life changing massage experience!

I went to Paul for massage for years and even recommended him to someone I love. I had referred many of my friends to Paul, but they were all women. After what happened in one of their sessions, I no longer trust him and can no longer remain silent. During the session, Paul touched this person in a sensitive area without clear consent. At the end of the massage, he placed his sweaty forehead against this person’s forehead and told him to receive his energy. These actions crossed clear personal and professional boundaries and left the person deeply shaken. Since then, the person harmed has experienced panic attacks, missed work, and ongoing emotional distress. We reported what happened to the state licensing board and also filed a police report. The licensing board reviewed the complaint and chose to take action. This is the explanation that was provided by the board: “The Oregon Board of Massage Therapists reviewed the investigation and evidence related to the complaint and elected to take action regarding the allegations. This includes additional training and education in the areas of communication, boundaries, and traumatic response training.” Paul did refund one session after we reached out. However, he has refused to refund an additional session where boundaries were crossed (where he massaged a sensitive area without consent). As someone who once trusted and supported his work, I now feel betrayed and want others to have this information so they can make informed decisions.

We worked on my neck and shoulders. I have not had a massage for a few months.. I was pain-free for the first time in many months after the massage. And it lasted a long timeHe is wonderful!

Paul is excellent, he really pays attention to what he is doing and the state of your body. I've had a lot of massages from other people who felt like they were just going through their routine without any care about my knotted muscles. Paul focused in on every knot. I like deep tissue massage and he was great at getting in there. I expect he would be excellent if you like softer massages as well, since he is very attentive. Paul was recommended by my physical therapist to help with muscle and nerve pain I have been having. My first massage was a week ago and I can already tell that my pain is less. I will definitely return to Paul and have already recommended him to people.

Paul Hogan is clear, respectful, intuitive, and loving. I’ve had just this one visit today, but this was not like any before. I left with confidence in Paul.

Paul is an INCREDIBLE massage therapist and body worker. His safe and attuned presence allows him to connect with the language of the body and to work on different points of need. I hold a ton of stress and tension in my neck, shoulders, and back; After I saw Paul, I felt an enormous shift towards ease-fulness and integration in my body. It's clear that Paul is highly skilled with this work and I would recommend him to anyone who experiences discomfort in their body and has the motivation and curiosity to move towards a more healing place with their body. Thanks Paul!

**Highly Recommend Paul - A Truly Gifted Healer** I started seeing Paul six months ago, after two friends recommended him. I’ve been dealing with frozen shoulder, and I can honestly say that Paul is a miracle worker. His deep understanding of the body and muscle groups is unparalleled, but what truly sets him apart is his intuitive and remarkable gift for healing. Paul doesn’t just perform a massage—he listens to your body and knows exactly where to focus. His environment is serene, safe, and deeply relaxing, embodying the essence of restoration. I’ve always felt that massage can leave you feeling vulnerable, especially when working through an injury or physical limitation. However, Paul’s kindness, professionalism, and mastery immediately put my body and mind at ease. Although I recently moved and now face a three-hour round-trip to see him, I would gladly make the trip—even if it were twice as long. Without question, Paul is the best massage therapist I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve been incorporating massage into my routine for decades. If you’re considering booking a session with him, don’t hesitate. Your body will thank you!

My massage session was a perfect combination of restorative and physically corrective. I suffer from chronic pain in my mid back and hips from working as a gardener. Paul’s deep tissue massage therapy was extremely beneficial in relieving that pain. His communication before and during the session was excellent. He consistently asked for feedback and clearly communicated when transitioning the massage to different parts of my body. I was impressed with his bedside manner which was great since it was our first session. Looking forward to getting my next session soon. Highly recommended.

I've been going to Paul for over two years and have been very happy and satisfied with the treatment I've received. Paul is professional and thougthful. I always feel well taken care of.

Working with Paul was awesome. He's tremendously kind and knowledgeable, and was careful to explain exactly what was coming next. His consent practices were top tier. His massage work was targeting a specific complaint I had, and his technique was very slow, deliberate, and targeted. If you're looking to shine a bodywork-laser on issues you're having, especially something persistent, Paul is an excellent choice.
