About Rose
I'm just a small-town girl from Homer, Alaska that loves people and is an anatomy and physiology nerd. I graduated from George Fox University with a degree in Kinesiology in 2007. In 2009, I started my studies at Oregon School of Massage and was licensed in 2011. I have had the privilege of working with chiropractors, at wellness facilities, spas, high end events with elite athletes, corporate companies providing chair massage for events, and now I get to work from home in my new massage studio! Massage therapy is my art form and my escape from being a mom to my three wonderful kiddos (Judah, Adelynne and Elora). I've been happily married to my husband Tyler for 18 years and Salem, Oregon is home.
Testimonial Section Title
"I’ve been working with Rose for a couple of years now and seeing her is one of my favorite parts of the month. Not only is she amazing at her technique, she is great conversation when I’m feeling chatty! There’s a good balance of times where I just need silence and times where I get more than just massage therapy.
My body feels so much better after treatment. Loose, relaxed and able to keep up with my crazy toddler. I highly recommend cupping and scraping, something she’s so good at!
Her new at home space is so perfect. I love being able to show up, get on the table right away and begin the experience without having to wait in a waiting room.
My only complaint (to myself, really) is I only have monthly appointments. I wish I could see her weekly!"
"I started going to Rose a little more than 5 years ago. I was apprehensive at first since it was my first time getting a massage. Rose is highly professional and extremely good at what she does. I have received both what I would call a relaxation massages and, on a number of occasions a deep tissue massages. Needless to say, I left relaxed and rejuvenated in all cases. I highly recommend Rose for anyone who wants their stresses to melt away and leave refreshed."
"Rose has a true gift. I always come feeling stressed and tense and even within the first couple minutes of stepping into her room I feel relaxed. I can easily tell Rose where I'm hurting and she immediately finds the spot and I feel a world of a difference. I would highly recommend seeing Rose. I wouldn't just say this, but I leave feeling incredible."
"I have been seeing Rose for the past ten years on a regular basis. During this time I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. When Rose found out my diagnosis she immediately hit the books to modify my massage therapy to fit my needs. What an incredible person she has been to help give me relief and comfort during this time. She is truly the best!"
"Rose has been my massage therapist for many years and has provided me with great care! She always takes the time to figure out what works best for me and her massage techniques are excellent and beneficial. Her facility is wonderful and very relaxing!"
"I have been lucky enough to have known Rose a long time. As a masseuse she has a profession that utilizes her educational background in health, her caring nature, and her desire to help others. I have experienced several massages from Rose and all were amazing. She communicates well throughout, focusing on just the right areas, completely relaxing me before the massage is even part way through. I would highly recommend going to Rose for a massage–you won't regret it!"

-Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from strenuous workouts.
-Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my massage or bodywork session take place?
Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.
Must I be completely undressed?
Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.
Will the practitioner be present when I disrobe?
The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.
Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
What parts of my body will be massaged?
A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.
What will the massage or bodywork feel like?
A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.
Are there different kinds of massage and bodywork?
There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.
What should I do during the massage or bodywork session?
Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
How will I feel after the massage or bodywork session?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.
Are there any medical conditions that would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.
