Overview

Are you looking to calm your nervous system while still prioritizing targeted muscle and fascia release? I am a professional, explicitly queer, and open-minded practitioner who believes bodywork should be as effective as it is restorative.

My sessions are unhurried to ensure I take quality care of you and help you feel the best you possibly can. I view every session as a collaboration; I discuss your specific goals and reassess your movement in real-time to make sure we are... making progress on how your body feels. I begin with assessment and targeted releases to address what is pulling on your system the most. This leads into a long anchor of deep, rhythmic work using a mix of Myofascial, Deep Tissue, and Swedish techniques to help you ground into the space. I finish with focused balancing work (structural and manual therapy inspired) to ensure you leave the table feeling balanced and integrated.

My goal is to provide a comfortable, queer-centered space where we work together toward your physical goals. Please text me directly for a prompt response. I don’t accept voice calls or offer generic full-body sessions; I prioritize clients who want to collaborate on a clear intention to make their body feel amazing.

Testimonials

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

Dec. 30, 2025 in Portland, OR (in-studio)

Duncan has the uncanny ability to listen to your needs, create a holistic massage aimed at those needs, and then deliver both therapeutic relief and overall restorative relaxation. He's a problem-solver and a healer. I walked away with both relief from my symptoms and was walking lighter and taller. I recommend him highly.

Duncan zeroed in where I had tension and was able to work with my previous injuries. My body feels leaps and bounds better, and I've booked more massages with Duncan.

Sept. 08, 2025 in Portland, OR (in-studio)

Duncan was professional, intuitive. He seemed to be able to read my mind & body on what I needed. He has a variety of techniques that work very well at targeting all major muscle groups. The work he did on my quads, legs, forearms was some of the best I've had (and I've gotten many massages over the years!). Highly recommend!

April 22, 2025 in Portland, OR (in-studio)

This was my second visit, and I can confidently say I've found my new go-to guy. The session was exactly what I needed: relaxing, restorative, and deeply effective. My immediate pain concerns were addressed with just the right amount of pressure, and I left feeling incredible. I actually woke up the next day thinking my body might be in trouble because I felt so different, but as I started moving, I realized I felt amazing. Like I had dropped 10 years overnight. That entire day I carried a sense of lightness and relief I hadn’t felt in a long time.

He is also incredibly easy to communicate with. He asks thoughtful questions that show he is genuinely interested in how you are feeling and what you need. It is clear that he truly cares about helping you feel better and not just going through the motions.

The space is great. It is comfortable, private, and free from the usual distractions you find in more commercial massage studios. I really appreciated the calm and uninterrupted focus. I am already browsing the schedule to book my next session. Highly recommended.
