Alice Palmeri Massage Collective is a Southwest, Portland therapeutic massage practice. Feel free to book with either Alice or Emily.

Born in New York City, Alice Palmeri has lived in Oregon for the past 25 years. She earned a doctorate degree from the National College of Natural Medicine in 2007 and currently practices as a licensed massage therapist. Alice has advanced training in adult, pediatric, and infant craniosacral therapy, orthobionomy, structural integration, muscle energy technique, myofascial release, Swedish massage, cupping, hydrotherapy, whiplash and neck injury recovery, ADHD, pregnancy and pediatric massage therapy. She practices as a licensed massage therapist in Southwest Portland as part of a wellness collective.

As a bodywork practitioner, Alice loves working with her clients to help them gain balance physically, emotionally, and energetically. Her experience has led her to focus her practice on pediatric and teen wellness, whiplash recovery, neck pain, pain management, headache and migraine relief, and families. Children, expectant & postpartum mothers are an important part of her practice. Alice uses techniques to support children with breastfeeding, support tongue tie surgery, improve sleep quality, aid gastrointestinal disorders and incontinence, relieve anxiety, recover from PTSD, and depression. Alice also treats those with pain due to motor vehicle accidents and concussions. Her practice honors diversity and inclusion, welcoming patients with gender affirming, body neutral, and anti-racist practices. In her free time, Alice likes to do pottery, hike, knit, cook, play with her dogs, garden and spend time with her husband & two sons. And of course, get massaged.

Emily, originally from California, has found her home in the scenic Pacific Northwest. She received her training from East West College of the Healing Arts and is dedicated to her professional growth through continuous mentorship and training.

Emily skillfully integrates various massage modalities to deliver a session that is both soothing and therapeutic. Her expertise includes deep tissue work, relaxation techniques, Tuina, myofascial release, and neuromuscular therapy. As a result, she weaves these together to provide a truly holistic and customized experience for her clients.

With a therapeutic presence that is confident, composed, and curious, Emily can tailor her sessions to support healing and well-being for children and adults alike. She has extensive experience with children and currently teaches at a Waldorf-inspired outdoor school.

Outside of her practice, Emily enjoys hiking, gardening, foraging for mushrooms, and dreaming of the homestead she hopes to build one day.
