Therapeutic Massage in Portland, OR — Grounded, Personalized Care

Skilled bodywork shaped around your needs and paced with intention. Sessions support ease, presence, and movement through life’s transitions.

How You Can Work With Us

We provide professional massage services in three contexts — each rooted in attentive care and clinical skill.

What to Expect in a Session

Every session begins with a brief conversation and unfolds in real time based on your body’s feedback. Techniques are tools, not routines — used thoughtfully to support comfort, clarity, and presence.

We listen with intention, adjust with care, and provide space at the end to re-orient before you leave.

Who Finds This Work Beneficial

This work tends to resonate with people who are looking for massage that adapts to their body rather than following a fixed routine. Clients often arrive with layered needs—physical tension, stress, recovery, or a sense that their system needs support rather than force.

Wild Hart Massage is especially well-suited for those who value clear communication, thoughtful pacing, and care that responds to real-time feedback instead of predetermined techniques.

This approach is commonly helpful for:

  • people experiencing chronic or recurring tension
  • those navigating stress or nervous system fatigue
  • individuals recovering from injury or repetitive strain
  • clients who value clear communication and consent
  • anyone seeking care that bridges therapeutic and human-centered approaches

If you’re unsure whether this style of work is a fit, sessions are designed to meet you where you are and adjust from there.

Client Feedback

"Liza was incredible! Truly the best massage of my life. The space is lovely + great energy. Liza is super thoughtful with her movements & you can really feel the intention + mindfulness she brings to her practice. Can't wait to go back."

Leah V.

"I cannot recommend Liza at Wild Hart enough. I always walk away from her massages feeling seen, held, and cared for. She is attentive to my physical and emotional needs, present with me, and intentional with her touch. Liza has a wonderfully mellow, calming presence that makes it so easy to relax and open up. She's sweet and easy to talk to, but also holds space beautifully if you just need quiet. She's truly a gem<3"

"Forest is an incredible massage therapist. His calming and assured presence coupled with his knowledge of anatomy and how daily activities contribute to patterns of mis-function makes it easy to settle into to a space of healing and recovery.
Even when the main goal is a reprieve from the world for a few minutes, i always walk away feeling better and more aligned (physically and spiritually)
Schedule an appointment
You won’t regret it"

"Forest is an exceptional massage therapist whose grounded presence and steady pacing make it easy to fully relax and trust the process. His touch blends the body awareness of martial arts with the gentle intelligence of craniosacral and visceral work, creating a session that feels both powerful and deeply restorative. I always leave feeling more connected, centered, and attuned to my body’s wisdom."
