We are not our illness...I don’t work on illnesses; I work with people to reduce their pain and symptoms while increasing their immune system and their ability to heal. We all want to feel better and be active in our own lives doing all the things we need and want to do. My goal is to help you reduce pain, increase movement, decrease the effects of stress while increasing your immune system.
While Tina’s work is based on Zen Shiatsu, she has created an approach to Shiatsu from over two decades of training and many more decades of living and learning about life and the body. Each of us have our own ecosystem, our own ecological landscape. Everything in our lives has an effect on how we live and move through our lives: the foods we eat or do not eat, the stressors in our lives, how we move through our days, sleep, play and the conversations we have with ourselves.
Your Shiatsu session is created for you each time you come in, connecting to you, your energy and how you feel at that moment. Tina’s goal is to partner with you in your healing process, including reducing pain, increasing mobility, improving sleep and energy, balancing digestion, reducing stress & anxiety and improving your sense of overall well-being.
Why Shiatsu?
After 15 years as a graphic artist I decided I wanted to be a massage therapist and do something that made a difference in people’s lives. From my first day of Shiatsu class I was hooked. It felt amazing and so different from any other massage as both the client and practitioner. For over 24 years I have happily studied and received Shiatsu. It is still one of my favorite things in the world. Lucky me.
Like most people from time to time various issues effect my health. That cold that’s going around, allergies, mental emotional stress, various aches and pains, digestive issues and so on. Sometimes they require more attention than others, from a doctor or other healthcare professional. For me Shiatsu and Acupuncture are my go to treatments to feel re-energized, re-balanced in mind and body.
Working within an integrative clinic with a team of caring, talented practitioners and supportive staff located in SE Portland. I have worked at immune clinics as well as Terwilliger Plaza retirement facility. Clients that see me are looking for improved health and well-being, improved energy, alignment, circulation and energy. At the clinics my clients had cancer, MS, HIV/AIDS, or other autoimmune diseases. Working with these conditions taught me a great deal about illness, its effects on the body while learning how to better serve all my clients.
What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a form of massage from Japan unlike other forms of massage. There are no oils or lotions used. Client wearing loose comfortable fitting clothes like yoga pants with a t-shirt. The treatments are traditionally done on a futon on the floor. If you have difficulty getting down or up from the floor a massage table can be used. Shiatsu means finger pressure. It includes pressure applied from the thumbs, palms, elbows and possibly knees along the meridians or information pathways located in the fascia. Think Acupuncture without needles.

I am a Massage Therapist (LMT #24254), Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Trainer, Franklin Method Educator, and Dance Instructor. For the past 10+ years, I've been helping clients feel ease in their body -- the antidote to "dis-ease". I believe when the body is allowed to freely express itself, health and healing will naturally arise. My work draws from a vast diverse training in bodywork, embodied anatomy, dance, and somatics that is rooted in deeply listening to you, your body, and your spirit.
Bodies are made to move
In a past life, I worked a desk job, unhappily. An avid dancer I always looked forward to PTO spent at dance camps which would refresh my mind, body and spirit. At one of my camps I came to the realization that my body didn't feel good being cooped up for hours at a time. Bodies are made to move. The lack of a nourishing movement was making me and many people around me unhappy and unwell. This realization led me to having a different relationship with my body, and led me to a career helping people discover and experience health and wellness.
Wellness rooted in dance
My approach as a wellness practitioner is rooted in my partner dance training. How to connect, listen, lead, and follow– these are all components of informed touch. Listening and understanding how the body responds to touch, not just where, but when, how, and why is important in helping the body find comfort and heal. I see each session is a
dance, with each action flowing seamlessly from one to another to create a harmonious healing experience. The aim is to create space for the body to be free to move with joy.
Empowering Wellness
The wellness journey is one of inquiry: how can I live better within my body? My goal as a practitioner is to empower you to seek the answers that are right for you. Sometimes this means allowing yourself time to do your own work. Sometimes it means seeking outside help. Often this means looking beyond the pain point and looking more holistically. Cause and effect isn't always obvious or linear. Through our sessions, explore how massage, movement, and embodiment can all affect your sense of being, and discover the wellness practice that works best for you.
Specialties & Interests
I enjoy working with athletes, dancers, and performance artists. People who are aware of their bodies, and are seeking to get more performance from them in a sustainable way so they can enjoy their art throughout their lives.
I also find working with the elderly deeply satisfying. For many, they have lived with chronic conditions that have
been impacting their quality of life for years. The most subtle changes in posture, flexibility, and mobility and vastly improve their quality of life.
As a POC, I relate to the trauma of the BIPOC folx. I specialize in holding space and witnessing the trauma that we hold in our bodies.

Cheyenne is passionate about mind, body and soul wellness. Her beloved family recently relocated from the midwest and she is so happy and honored to join a workspace providing
many means to healing holistically.Licensed as an LMT in 2018, she has largely focused on providing rejuvenating
and relaxing massage therapy until recently stepping into the realm of
postural correction and functional movement. Helping clients regain
mobility, strength and optimal range of motion to move and feel better
is her newest skill set. Working with the client as the guide, she
employs whatever modality is best suited for their healing; be it deep
tissue, myofasical release, trigger point work, neuromuscular techniques
involving muscle testing, stretching or breathe work. She finds one of
most profound components of her work is helping clients learn how to use
their breath to facilitate healing.As a Registered Yoga Teacher she applies the practice of self-study and
breath paired movement to help clients get to know their body best. Our
daily movement practice can either be helpful or harmful to the way our
body feels. Cheyenne enjoys helping bring interested clients to a new
yoga pratice as well as helping the seasoned practitioner analyze common
movements and making small adjustments to optimize their daily
practice.As a Reiki energy work practioner, she believes in the profound ability of the
intention behind healing touch, no matter the modality being applied.Regardless of the type of session we come to in collaboration, I humbly and deeply
honor your time as you step away from the daily grind and step into a
space that serves your highest good so that you may walk away feeling
your best.
