Christina learned massage at the Oregon School of Massage in Portland, Oregon and the Aloha Massage Academy on the Big Island of Hawaii. She came to the healing arts via a circuitous route, after deciding that a BA in music and the life of a classical music rock star wasn’t financially stable, and absconding from a master’s program in library science. An apprenticeship in herbal medicine and ethnobotany, certification course in nutritional therapy, classes in Core Synchronism, QuantumTouch, Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy and many years of massage school later, she ended up doing massage on a beach in Hawaii, and acclimating Iron Man triathletes to the pending rigors of their grueling competition.
She has now made her return to the rainy skies of the Pacific Northwest, because she missed the rain. (Kidding!) But jesting aside, the healing journey is a very personal one, and if you have any serious questions, please ask!

Jess Krepel is a graduate of Rasmussen College in Illinois where she received her Associate’s Degree and massage therapy training in 2010. Jess grew up in Chicago and has called Portland home for the last two years. She pursued a career in massage therapy because she wanted to help people. She has traveled the country learning modalities ranging from medical to energy work and incorporates them into each customized session. Her specialties include deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial release. When Jess is not at the clinic, she is most likely gardening, baking, and spending time in nature. 

Billie graduated from East West College of Healing Arts in Portland, OR. Her unique and integrative style combines several modalities, including: Swedish, deep tissue, cranial sacral, myofascial release, prenatal, trigger point and structural integration techniques.

Her belief is that through time, due to life activities, physical and emotional trauma, surgery and illness, the human body slowly develops misbalanced and incorrect posture which eventually leads to discomfort, pain and injury. Her focus is in identifying these postural deviations and correcting and realigning the body, allowing the client to move pain-free and with greater ease of motion. When the structure of the body is in proper alignment, less energy is spent in the muscles fighting to regain balance, allowing for higher function in all other systems of the structure.

She also works with motor vehicle accident injuries, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, sciatica issues, thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder, TMJ and rotator cuff issues. The more generalized “relaxation” deep tissue work helps to integrate and compliment the chiropractic work also offered at the clinic.
