Aaron is amazingly skilled, intuitive and educated. It’s a perfect trifecta of “knowing”. He will help you fix what ever you’re needing help with in your body. He is a genius with psoas work. He will explain what is happening and why and will spend a ton of time so he really sees, feels and understands what is going on with your body dynamics. You will feel seen, heard, cared for and much better physically. It’s some kind of kinesiologic magic. Make an appointment with him this very moment! You will thank me.

I’ve been seeing Aaron for six years, and I don’t recommend anyone more. Most recently, I was dealing with sciatica and tried multiple methods at home without relief. After one session with Aaron, I am back in the gym pushing PRs on my hip thrust. His skill, knowledge, and care are unmatched. If you’re looking for true, lasting bodywork in Portland, Aaron is the person to see.

Aaron is a highly trained body work therapist. He knows his stuff and is gentle and thoughtful in his approach. He has worked with both my husband and me and we value his expertise.

10/10 every experience I have here feels balancing to my body. Highly recommend. Aaron worked with my health issues post car accident and gave me techniques to use for after care. He continues to do tune ups for myself and also my child, working with mind and body simultaneously. His massage is a very relaxing and consistently a top level experience.

Aaron is an amazing massage therapist. After suffering with severe SI joint instability and pain for over 17 years, I finally gained some stability through doing prolotherapy with a doctor in Portland. The downside is that I still struggle with muscle imbalances and pain in various parts of my low back, mid back, shoulders, and neck. In just two visits, Aaron majorly decreased my pain and helped me untangle my confused muscle patterns. He is professional, incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy, and has a clear and thorough understanding of how bodies move and function. The pressure is always perfect (not too much, but enough to address the areas that need to release) and he also gives great cues for breath and small, subtle body movements during the appointment, which allows you to essentially partner with him and increase the efficacy of the work. Favorite massage therapist in Portland. Go see him. You won’t regret it.

Aaron is one of the most skilled massage therapists I have ever been treated by. I am a bodyworker myself and am very impressed by his knowledge. I went in with shoulder pain and he kept me very engaged during the session not only about my shoulder, but how all the other parts of my body are related to my shoulder. It is a very cool experience. I left in less pain, AND with very practical advice about how to do things differently in my life to prevent future pain. And it works. I have had many "relaxation massages" that feel great at the time, but the effects are gone in a few days. This is the guy to go to if you are in pain and want it to change for real. It's worth saying that he does all this without giving you a painful deep tissue workover. It really is a massage that feels good and works with the body to make lasting changes. And he has great Youtube videos that show helpful exercises in detail so you don't forget how to do them. I will be seeing Aaron, and referring to him, for years to come I'm sure.

Aaron helped me gain awareness to the "holding patterns" in my body that produced debilitating back pain starting in my twenties(!). Sessions have always been rejuvenating but more importantly empowering toward better health. I know I could not run a ranch without having him on my team.
