Welcome! I'm Josiah, a Licensed Massage Therapist dedicated to helping people rediscover tension free lives. The human body is a beautifully complex and interconnected masterpiece; our truest home. When we’re in a state of bodily imbalance, it can lessen our smile, sap our energy, or even make us consider giving up the activities we love. A great massage can reach our deepest pains, allowing us an opportunity to re-center, reconnect with our body, and leave feeling refreshed.

Why do I do this work?

My journey into the world of healing and wellness began with my own chronic pain struggles. Like many, I experienced a sense of hopelessness before discovering the transformative power of bodywork like massage therapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture. These therapies offered me a glimpse of what a pain-free life could be like. With continued skilled care and a lot of self care, I found new levels of relief, and a sense of peaceful embodiment within myself.

Motivated by my personal experiences, I embarked on a mission to help others. It is incredibly fulfilling to guide my clients on their healing journeys, witnessing their progress and improved quality of life.

Education through experiences

I enrolled in the Oregon School of Massage in 2022. While in school, I also worked as a Chiropractic Assistant, providing massages and assisting patients with stretching under the supervision of some excellent doctors. I found a deep connection with Shiatsu techniques in school, and eventually became an instructor for those classes! After graduation and licensing in 2023, I worked for a massage membership club for about a year, experiencing a more casual side of massage. In 2024 I brought it all together, opening my own practice within Serenity Bodywork in Tualatin Oregon!

Fee Schedule:

Insurance companies, both health and auto, pay for massage therapy in 15 minute units. Because of the extra time and effort spent on billing, and because of the risk of non-payment or delayed payment, I charge less for clients who pay at the time of service. My current insurance rates follow UCR (usual, customary, and reasonable) standards.
