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

Why do I do this?

My journey into the world of healing and wellness began with my own struggles with chronic pain. 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. Finding a deep connection in school with Shiatsu techniques, I also became a Teaching Assistant 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!

I'm thrilled to say that in 2025 I will fully begin teaching Shiatsu at OSMs Salem campus, helping future generations of bodyworkers to make a difference in the lives of their clients.

I am committed to making massage therapy accessible to everyone!!

I currently accept Kaiser CHP and Regence Blue Cross insurances, and offer "Superbills" for those with massage coverage under other health plans to submit for reimbursement.
