Tae is magic! And so is Velma the cat. What a sweet heart. 🥰 My partner and I both booked 90 minute massages (separately) and it felt like a nervous system reboot. Tae checks in frequently to be sure everything is feeling good and if there’s enough pressure making the whole experience more welcoming and comfortable. I’ve been needing deep tissue body work like this for years and have chronic muscle and nerve pain. I feel light years better after just one session. I could cry. I am so grateful that you were recommended by a dear friend and that I found you! Thank you so much, Tae!

Great massage! I hadn't had a massage in years, and this was a very relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Tae was so sweet and accommodating. The next day I felt lighter which is an extra plus, I will be back for more services.

One of the best massages i’ve had period. I had not been able to wake up without chronic pain pretty much everywhere in my body and for the first time in years i’ve been able to wake up without any issues this whole week. tae is communicative and clear about the process and really just gives you a sense of security that your needs will be met. i’ll definitely be back!

Tae is absolutely amazing! He is very skilled and attentive. I am very picky about massages as I require deep pressure and have a lot of pain and tension in my upper body. He is the only massage therapist I’ve found in the Portland area that can adequately address my needs. I signed up for the monthly membership for a discount and I couldn’t be happier!

Tae is a magician. Initially I had a little trouble finding the location, but once you find the studio, which is past some schools/daycare programs through a courtyard and into a housing complex, (a friendly neighbor showed me where to go), Tae was so friendly, and put me immediately at ease. They were very intuitive throughout the massage without even having to say words-they noticed when muscles tensed or released, but then also explained things when asked. Tae also offered a great deal for new clients, so I got to add additional time and stay within my budget, which was so needed. I tried cupping for the first time, and it was a great experience. TLDR: I could have stayed several more hours, and I felt so good for weeks after.

Tae was fantastic! Very attentive to my therapeutic needs, provides just the right amount of pressure and checked in on me to make sure I was getting what I needed. Had a lovely space setup for the massage. Will definitely be returning.

Great Massage! I do a lot of aerial arts training so my shoulders, forearms and neck can get crazy tight. I find that I need a monthly "maintenance massage" to undo all the muscles I've made angry over the month! Tae was great and used the right amount of pressure to help loosen up the areas that needed it while not over doing it on areas that are too sensitive for a strong massage. Tae was very intuitive in locating the trouble areas and also the other muscles that contribute to the issues. The studio is very calm and relaxing. I'm looking forward to my next massage!

Tae is truly incredible at what they do. They always tailor their body work to exactly what you need and intuitively know the areas that need the most focus. Their home office is so peaceful and comfortable and I couldn’t recommend them more!

Over the years I have had the good fortune of working with a few very skilled massage therapists to help manage some chronic old injuries. Tae is among the very best, and I am so glad to have found Lit Soul in our neighborhood after our longtime therapist moved across town. His home studio is comfortable and clean. For our first visit, he offered tea and thoughtfully reviewed my history and preferences before we began. The massage itself was deeply therapeutic and effective-- clearly, he has found his calling! My family and I will be back regularly.
