Liza’s practice is rooted in steadiness, empathy, and a curiosity about the many ways the body carries and releases experience. She graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts, where she trained in therapeutic massage modalities including Swedish, deep tissue, Ayurvedic massage, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy. She offers the same depth of care across each modality, whether easing long-held tension or supporting gentle restoration. Liza's presence and approach resonates with the Wild Hart ethos: touch that is both precise and attuned, grounded in anatomy yet responsive to the unique story of each client.
Her current path leads her deeper into the world of perinatal and family care. She is pursuing advanced training in prenatal massage and pediatric massage, expanding her ability to accompany families through the profound thresholds of pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. For Liza, these stages are not simply physical passages but moments where the body holds the possibility of new beginnings. Her work honors these transitions with quiet presence and a steady hand, helping clients—whether expecting, parenting, or simply seeking balance—find a place of ease and support.

Forest Day Hart is the practitioner behind Wild Hart Massage. He is a graduate of East West College of the Healing Arts and a certified SoundMind Facilitator, also licensed by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to provide facilitation services. He brings over 15 years of experience in Taoist martial arts and meditation, and is continuing advanced massage studies through the Upledger Institute in Craniosacral Therapy and the Barral Institute in Visceral and Neural Manipulation.
His path has been shaped by a lifelong exploration of the body as both a vessel for healing and a mirror for transformation. Drawing on clinical massage training, somatic practices, and contemplative traditions, he creates care that is both precise and deeply human. Each session is grounded in anatomy and skill, but guided by presence, intuition, and humility. His role is not only to ease discomfort, but to help clients discover what their body has been asking for all along: balance, renewal, and the freedom to move forward with ease.

Wild Hart was founded on the belief that healing unfolds in liminal spaces—the thresholds where old patterns soften and something new takes shape. The name carries this meaning too: the hart, or stag, is a creature of the in-between, moving with quiet grace through forests, edges, and crossings. In myth and story, deer appear as guides, signaling moments of change and leading wanderers toward deeper truths. They embody sensitivity and strength, the capacity to pause, listen, and leap when the time is right.
This is the essence of our work. Each session is an invitation into that liminal space, where body, mind, and spirit can settle and realign. Whether through the flowing rhythms of Swedish massage, the precision of deep tissue, or the stillness of craniosacral therapy, the practice is guided by one principle: to create room for release, renewal, and becoming. Wild Hart Massage exists as a sanctuary at the threshold, where stillness and transformation meet.

Massage at Wild Hart is never a formula, but a dialogue. Each session is woven from multiple modalities—Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and more—shaped by what your body needs in that moment. Some clients arrive seeking relief from chronic pain, others to soften stress or to find grounding during a life transition. What they all share is the need to be met exactly where they are.
That is the heart of this approach: listening first, attuning to the body’s story, and responding with touch that supports balance and clarity. Techniques are chosen not as isolated tools, but as threads in a larger tapestry of care. The goal is not only to ease discomfort but to restore flow, create space, and awaken the body’s own capacity to heal. Every massage is a unique conversation—one that begins with presence and unfolds into renewal.

Wild Hart Massage is not only about relief—it is about transformation. This practice blends clinical expertise with soulful care, offering a space that is at once professional and deeply human. Clients come here to release tension, recover from strain, and find balance, but also to be witnessed in their wholeness. What sets Wild Hart apart is the commitment to guiding people through transitions, honoring both the physical body and the unseen layers of experience that shape our well-being.
The environment is crafted to be welcoming, grounded, and intentional. Each session is an act of partnership: we bring training, presence, and skill, and you bring your lived experience and readiness for change. Together, we create a space where the body can soften, the mind can rest, and the spirit can move forward. If you are seeking more than temporary relief—if you are ready for care that embraces the full spectrum of who you are—Wild Hart Massage is here at the threshold, ready to walk with you.
