Meet Azzaya Gantulga, LMT & NMT & YTT

Listening is the first step to healing.

My journey into bodywork began with my own health challenges. Years ago, I was struggling with digestive issues that doctors couldn't seem to resolve. What helped me on my path to healing was yoga's invitation to slow down, breathe, and truly listen to my body. In 2016, I completed a 200 HR Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Colorado which taught me to connect with my body and truly begin to understand how a body can speak. That moment sparked my passion for body work and my journey to massage therapy began.

I completed my basic training in California and broadened my skills by completing advanced training, a 1200 HR Neuromuscular Therapy program, driven by my desire to better understand the body's structure, function, and the way we hold pain and energy. Since graduating in 2018, I've been working in various spa settings, blending relaxation with therapeutic depth, and always guided by curiosity, care, and a deep respect for the human body.

My style integrates both Eastern and Western philosophies. Sessions often include focused, clinical work, informed by biomechanics and neuromuscular training, as well as energetic flow and holistic techniques drawn from Thai massage, Shiatsu, and Meridian theory. You may come in with tension in your shoulders, low back, or hips, but we'll look at the whole body to understand the root of those tensions, instead of just treating the symptoms.

I've spent over 7 years as an LMT & NMT in various spa environments, and over 18 years in hospitality overall. Creating a safe, welcoming space is second nature to me. Whether you're looking for targeted relief, a nervous system reset, or a simple space to reconnect with yourself, I'll meet you where you are.

In addition to in-studio sessions, I offer mobile massage, on-site corporate massage, and event massage services - bringing the healing work directly to you, wherever you are.

Licensed in both Oregon and California, I hold current credentials in both states and maintain professional liability insurance.

This work is collaborative - between your body, my hands, and the quiet intelligence that lives in all of us.

Neuromuscular Therapy ("NMT") uses slow, precise pressure on specific areas of tension, often called trigger points to help reset dysfunctional muscle patterns. It blends anatomy, physiology, and deep understanding of how nerves and muscles interact. NMT uses a variety of trigger point techniques to provide a deep and lasting relaxation of your muscular problems. Specialized form of manual therapy that focuses on treating soft tissue, muscles, tendons, and fascia, to address chronic pain, postural imbalances, and movement dysfunctions. The goal of our sessions will be restoring balance between the nervous system and musculoskeletal system by reducing chronic pain and tension, improving posture and alignment, enhancing blood flow and circulation, releasing trigger points and adhesions, and lastly, supporting the body's natural healing processes.

NMT is based on the understanding that when muscles become overly tight or imbalanced, they can compress nerves and reduce circulation, leading to pain, and dysfunction. By addressing these imbalances, NMT helps relieve pain, restore proper function, and improve overall physical health.

To ensure the most effective and personalized care, brief consultation is required for every NMT sessions.

Initial Session: Your first visit includes a 30-minute consultation to review your health history, access posture and movement patterns, and discuss your specific goals and areas of concern. This allows us to create a targeted treatment plan tailored JUST FOR YOU.
Follow-Up Session: Each subsequent session includes a 15-minute consultation, which covers both pre- and post-treatment check-ins. This is used to evaluate progress, make adjustments as needed, and support your ongoing healing.

These consultations are an essential part of your care and are included in your session time to provide a complete, integrated experience. For example, if you book the 90 minutes Treat Yourself session for your initial visit, then you will only receive about 60-minutes of hands-on body work, so I recommend the initial visit be booked for a longer session, to receive the best results.

Mobile Chair Massage services are great way to show your team you care or for anyone needing fast relief.

Events & Festivals: Boost the vibe and create memorable experiences with on-site massage.

Corporate Wellness: Reduce workplace stress, increase productivity, and show your team you care.
