Hi, I’m Desirae Parks.

I am a licensed massage therapist, graduated from Lane Community College’s massage program, where I now teach three classes.

I am trained in traditional Swedish table massage and I spent three years in an apprenticeship, studying Thai bodywork and Thai medical theory. During that time, I also delved into myofascial work and unwinding, postural analysis, fire cupping, scraping, and more. After beginning your session with postural and movement analysis, I use an array of tools, including hands, forearms, elbows, knees, and feet, as well as cupping and scraping. A session may range from very deep work to very subtle work. In either case, my aim is for the work to be transformative. Be it chronic pain or persistent injury, my goal is to facilitate your body's own natural healing process by addressing holding patterns and imbalances to return you to pain free movement.

I am happy to work either at the table or on a mat on the floor and use my intuition to combine all my skills into a session that fits you.

I am currently studying craniosacral therapy as well, and after two and a half years of study, I am also offering cranial sessions, so please specify the type of work that you are looking for when you book a session.

My Aproach

I believe in using whatever methods and tools are necessary to address your individual needs. I operate on the belief that we are more than just a body- we are mind, body, and soul.

I invite you to step into your own unique healing process with me, as you delve into the beautiful wisdom of your mind body connection.
