Hi! My name is John Postlewaite and I've been a massage therapist for over six years. I'm skilled in deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial release and prenatal massage. I have a strong understanding of posture and I'm constantly learning more in depth knowledge about anatomy and physiology.

Hi! My name is John Postlewaite and I've been a massage therapist for over six years. I'm skilled in deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial release and prenatal massage. I have a strong understanding of posture and I'm constantly learning more in depth knowledge about anatomy and physiology. My current point of interest is understanding more about the nervous system and treatment techniques specific to nerves.

My aim is to use insightful problem solving and technical skill to help the people I work with have less pain, more mobility, and more knowledge about their body. My professional background is mainly in injury treatment but it is very important to me to provide a rejuvenating and calming experience. 


I aim to empower people to take care of their bodies and as part of my work I'm able to provide targeted self care techniques to help restore healthy posture and minimize chronic pain.

Outside of body work, I love to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Northwest through mountaineering, slacklining, and rock climbing. I have a couple of sweet cats and a wonderful wife that I share a practice space with. I also am very avid about fitness, training for a long time with kettle bells, bodyweight workouts and traditional weight lifting.

After a session focused on my neck and shoulders, I feel so much better. I have so much less pain and stiffness. Thanks John.

John is skilled, professional, and attentive! He’s very good about talking with you to figure out exactly how to address your problem areas, and checking in throughout the process

Professional and knowledgeable. Really targeted the massage to address my shoulder and neck issues. I left feeling much better.

John has been great in working with me to address my stiff neck and tight shoulders. I appreciate the suggestions he has made for stretches that I can do at home.

John does incredible body work and in particular deep tissue without a lot of pain. He also provides great continuity of care, remembering what was worked on last time, and suggests stretches and exercises for maintenance and improvements in between sessions.

Wonderful! Took the time to discuss what I wanted to get out of the session and gave some suggestions of appropriate stretched afterwards. Really enjoyed my experience!

John gives a great massage. He even had some suggestions for me about yoga postures that might be helpful.

John is always very thorough and knowledgeable; he takes his time to understand any issues you'd like to target and relays how he thinks he can help them. He uses great pressure and his massages leave my body feeling better, looser, and more able to function. I highly recommend him as a massage therapist.

Wonderful session John! Have you heard the new Ralph Towner CD At First Light? The guitar music you played made me want to mention Ralph. See you Thursday and thank you!
