About
At East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, I learned that massage is as much about listening to a body as it is about knowing technique. That 800-hour program, which I completed in late 2019, gave me the foundation, but eight years of working with clients has taught me something deeper: intuition matters. I've learned to feel where tension is hiding, to know when someone needs firm pressure and when they need gentleness, and to adapt in real time.
I'm Mo, and I'm based in Portland's 97215 area. My massage practice is primarily focused on working with the LGBTQ+ community, and I'm committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you can truly relax and unwind to your core. I use a variety of modalities during sessions—Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports massage, Myofascial Release, Cupping, and Reiki—and I combine them in whatever way your body needs on that particular day.
Achy back? Muscle fatigue? Or do you just need to indulge in some well-deserved self care? I offer both in-studio and mobile massage throughout Portland and surrounding areas, serving clients within a 25-mile radius. Whether you come to my studio, where you'll find a heated table, soft music, and candles waiting, or I come to you, the quality of work is the same: a firm yet nurturing touch, customized to meet your real needs.
Testimonials
I called Mo a couple of days before hoping for the same day, and while he was booked, he got me in the next day. Walking into his place, I was greeted by sweet-smelling incense. The space felt welcoming—eclectic art on the walls, the kind of calm you get around someone with a lot of depth. I felt comfortable right away. Mo asked what was bothering me, and I told him my whole body was aching. On the table, the work began. He used good, measured pressure to work through each ache I had. It was time well spent. Mo is warm and easy to be around. I'm going back, and I'd suggest anyone try an hour or two with him. You won't regret it.
I met Mo years ago at a yoga class, and when I found out he did massage, I started seeing him regularly. He's been my go-to therapist ever since. Mo is intuitive and customizes each session based on what my body is telling him. He draws on multiple techniques and knows how to adjust pressure for different needs. He brings a wonderful energy and real calm to his work. I've only experienced his mobile services at my home, so I can't speak to the studio, but having him come to me has become an important part of how I take care of myself. Don't pass up the chance to book a massage with Mo.
Mo is an excellent massage therapist. From the moment he greeted me at the door to when I left, he showed nothing but care and accommodation. He's genuinely gifted at the craft of massage and stays consistent throughout. He's very intuitive about finding where tension lives and applies exactly the right amount of pressure to melt away stress and tightness. His studio is beautiful and includes a shower if you need one. I'll keep booking with him.
I reached out to Mo and he was able to fit me in the very same day. His welcoming nature put me at ease right away. I've gotten several massages over the years, and Mo's work stands out as the best I've experienced. I highly recommend booking with him.
Mo gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. I arrived at his place sore and disappointed from a previous massage, and I left feeling like a completely new person. The space has great energy—music playing, incense burning, everything calm and inviting. Mo started gently and gradually increased the pressure as I asked for more. He's got a sweet, kind presence and a wonderful laugh. I really looked forward to spending time with him and I'll definitely be back.
