Tend the body, calm the mind, free the spirit
What seems like a lifetime ago, I trained in Massage Therapy in New York City, and worked in N. New Jersey until relocating to the West Coast.
My practice has been active in Portland since 2001. After a move to the West Coast and more training in San Diego and Santa Barbara, I migrated to the glorious Pacific NW. Milwaukie has been my home since 2004, and have been practicing locally since 2000 and continue to hone my skills in therapeutic massage. I'm a graduate of the Portland Hakomi/M.E...
What seems like a lifetime ago, I trained in Massage Therapy in New York City, and worked in N. New Jersey until relocating to the West Coast.
My practice has been active in Portland since 2001. After a move to the West Coast and more training in San Diego and Santa Barbara, I migrated to the glorious Pacific NW. Milwaukie has been my home since 2004, and have been practicing locally since 2000 and continue to hone my skills in therapeutic massage. I'm a graduate of the Portland Hakomi/M.E.T.A Institute and am certified in this somatic, mindfulness based counseling process. Since 2008 I've been a facilitator of a energy psychology process called Psych-K, which actively assists creating conscious beliefs to create the life or behavioral changes we most desire.
I have long been informed by the body-mind spirit continuum, and educate clients to develop a more conscious relationship to the care and tending of their body. It's my intent to encourage clients to be actively involved in their sessions with breath, curiosity, imagery and awareness. My goal is to cultivate a deepening capacity of receptivity in sessions, which brings healing to tissues, over stimulated nervous systems and a needed experience of calm.
My approach is to resolve pain and chronic restrictions with the variety of techniques I weave in, and to support greater ease and freedom from pain and aggravation. Massage Therapy is best as a partnership. I'd love to help you learn skills for releasing pain, physical and emotional, stress, and anxiety during your sessions.
Sessions are a blend of Myofascial massage, Trigger Point release, nurturing Swedish, and deep tissue modalities as needed, cupping, Gua Sha, heated stones and essential oils.
Beginning the summer of 2020, I have a home studio in Milwaukie, and work 2 days a week in the Sellwood community. Please contact me with any questions.

I am so glad to have found Concetta's healing practice more than a year ago. Concetta is an amazing healer and is a hidden gem in our community. She was able to address all of my skeletal/muscular issues that I have been seeking to remedy. Thank you Concetta!

Concetta is very thoughtful and curious about your individual physical concerns. Consequently, she will tailor how she works on your body. She does not give a cookie cutter massage. She works with you to find what she refers to as your "trigger points". So for example, you might have neck pain that has its roots in shoulder or even lower back. She will "dig" in deep to find the source.
She also suggests affirmations. Little things to say to yourself to help your body perhaps relax, or just a small reminder not to clench your jaw or pinch your shoulders. Or even deal with negative notions banging around in one's head.
And finally, she is kind, gentle and friendly. She puts you at ease. But don't let that fool you. Her massage style is powerful, deep, and focused.
