Grounded, therapeutic bodywork offering personalized care in a calm, private studio setting.
Wild Hart Massage offers therapeutic massage in Portland, Oregon, with a focus on attentive, responsive care rather than preset routines. Sessions are designed to support pain relief, nervous system regulation, and overall wellbeing through thoughtful, individualized bodywork. This is a quiet, unrushed practice rooted in clinical understanding, somatic awareness, and respect for the whole person.
Massage therapy at Wild Hart is approached as a collaborative process, not a standardized service. Each session is shaped by your goals, health history, and real-time feedback from your body rather than a fixed menu of techniques.
Care emphasizes:

Sessions are not designed to “fix” the body, but to support regulation, circulation, mobility, and awareness in ways that encourage long-term ease.
Rather than offering a fixed style of massage, sessions draw from a range of techniques as appropriate, including:
Techniques are selected and adjusted during the session based on responsiveness and comfort, not predetermined categories.
You can explore individual techniques in more detail on the Techniques page, but technique selection is always guided by context and need.
Massage therapy sessions begin with a brief intake and conversation to understand relevant history, injuries, sensitivities, and goals. Consent, pressure preferences, and boundaries are clearly established before work begins.

This structure supports both therapeutic effectiveness and a sense of safety and clarity.
