Overview

Please read full overview prior to messaging for massage appointments:

Receiving healing touch through massage in a safe and trusting environment is an essential aspect of well-being. What I offer is a space where clients can feel truly held in a safe and caring container without judgment. I encourage clients to feel empowered to ask for what they want and need in a session without fear so we can work collaboratively towards healing. I work mostly with gay male clients..., but serve those across the gender & orientation spectrums!

I've been practicing massage & bodywork since 2012 with over 1000 hours of initial training (Oregon License #023109).

My massage style is influenced by Biodynamic, Myofascial, Swedish, Lomi-Lomi, and Deep Tissue modalities. I also offer Cupping, Intuitive Energywork, Reiki, Couples Massage Coaching, as well as Meditation & Breathwork Coaching. Feel free to reach out for details.

For the most prompt response to appointment inquiries I request new clients provide a photo in your initial message so I know who I'm communicating with.

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID & Monkeypox, and Flu and continue to acquire boosters as available.

I look forward to being a part of your wellness journey here in Portland! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions at all!

Testimonials

Gathered by Erik from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Sept. 23, 2025 in Portland, OR (in-studio)

Outstanding hands and skill, I can’t wait to get back for my next session! I’ve seen Erik a few times for the most amazing massages and it’s always exactly I’m needing. He really understands how to work with the body and it’s so easy to talk to him. I love how fast he responds to messages, even if he isn’t available for a session that day because he gets booked up. Do yourself a favor and get in with this dude.

A magical massage experience! Erik is extremely skilled at flowing with the body, and mixing intuition with his clinical training in masssge. He really took the time to talk with me before and after the session. I felt heard, seen, and truly cared for. Can’t wait to book a longer session next time! 6 out of 5 stars.

Erik's background in mental health really shined through during our first meeting. He asked questions, named and framed the session in ways that helped to ease my nervous system. I have never experienced this level of trauma sensitivity in my many years of receiving massage and Erik has really raised the bar because he should be the gold standard! His bodywork skillfully balances both pressure and relaxation in ways that I walk away feeling like I had both incredibly effective AND healing work done at the same time. I also quite appreciate his lovely space which exudes serenity!

Erik has a calming, welcoming presence. He is thoughtful in regards to his clients needs and he makes sure they are comfortable and taken care of during the massage. He has intuition and expertise of the body, its physiology and movement. Erik frequently checks in during the session, to ensure any adjustments or attention needed. You will be in good hands.

I would venture to replace masseuse with clinician or a hybrid title. Erik was a choice I made based on appearance and his description of services. My first massage I didn’t mention any ailments however after the superb and elite massage, I didn’t negate to make mention of some potential issues I had with various muscles. His approach was strategic and accurate. His clinical application with the finesse of a seamless massage has had me hooked and looking forward to when I can make my next appointment.
