About
Trained at the Academy for Massage Therapy in San Antonio, Texas, I completed my license between 2023 and 2024 — and in that relatively short time since, I've learned something crucial: massage isn't something I do *to* you. It's something we do *together*.
I see each session as collaborative. You come in with tension, pain, or just the weight of daily life. I come in with hands trained in deep tissue, Swedish, and trigger point work. But the real magic happens when we listen to what your body needs that day — and I adjust accordingly.
My studio is in St. Johns, Portland, a warm space with heated tables, hot towels, and the kind of calm quiet that lets you actually relax. I also travel throughout Portland and the surrounding area within a 25-mile radius if you'd rather have massage come to you. Either way, you'll feel safe and fully welcome here. I'm LGBTQIA+ friendly and open to working with anyone who walks through the door.
What drives me is simple: I've always been fascinated by what massage can do — whether that's working through chronic pain or giving someone permission to just breathe and let go for an hour. When clients leave and tell me they feel better, that their shoulders don't hurt anymore, that they slept deeply for the first time in weeks — that's when I know I'm doing something that matters.
Techniques
Testimonials
I've had two sessions with Ryan and I'm very satisfied. For me, it matters that a massage therapist is properly trained and genuinely skilled. His energy is gentle but also very careful and intentional.
Ryan's energy and technique work together really well. His massage hits the right balance of pressure and rhythm. His space feels intentional and welcoming, and his communication is thoughtful throughout. I'd definitely recommend booking a session — it's absolutely worth your time.
From the warm atmosphere to the hot towels at the end, the whole experience felt special. Ryan uses a trauma-informed approach that creates a real sense of safety. I walked out pain-free after weeks of struggling with soreness, and I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. Excellent work.
I've been getting massages from Ryan for several months and keep coming back. His technical skills and understanding of the body are excellent, but what really stands out is how he genuinely listens. He asks about how I'm doing, checks for problem areas, and makes sure I'm comfortable throughout — that level of focus is rare.
Ryan is my go-to therapist. He makes scheduling simple, and his space is clean, welcoming, and cozy. His technical training shows in his ability to find tension you didn't even know you had. He's conversational but also knows when to let you just be with the experience. Worth trying, no regrets.
I travel frequently and have had massages in multiple states, but Ryan's is hands-down the best I've ever had. From the moment he greeted me at the door, I felt at ease. His voice is calming, his presence is disarming, and his technique was perfect — the pressure was exactly right, and I actually dozed off during the session. He checked in regularly and never rushed. I left feeling both deeply relaxed and energized, and I'm excited to book with him again next time I'm in Portland.
Hemasseur's Take
Across his client reviews, Ryan stands out for combining solid technical training with an unusually attentive, collaborative approach — he listens to problem areas before the session, adjusts pressure in real time, and checks in regularly to ensure comfort. Clients report significant relief from chronic pain and tension, better sleep, and a sense of safety and welcome that keeps them returning. The warm environment, attention to detail (hot towels, heated table, calming music), and his calm, genuine presence are what set him apart from other therapists in Portland.

FAQ
How much does a 60-minute massage cost in Portland?
A one-hour session in my St. Johns studio is $110. Mobile visits to your home or office in Portland and the surrounding areas are $150 for 60 minutes. Both include the same quality of work — the difference is location.
Does Ryan offer mobile massage in Portland?
Yes, I provide in-home and in-office massage throughout Portland and within a 25-mile radius. Mobile sessions are available at the same times as studio appointments, and I bring my table, music, and the same focused attention you'd get at the studio.
What massage technique is best for tight shoulders and neck?
Deep tissue and trigger point work are particularly effective for shoulders and neck tension. I combine these techniques with Swedish massage to release knots without leaving you sore, and I'll check in during the session to make sure the pressure feels right for your body.
Is Ryan's studio wheelchair accessible?
My studio is located in a residential home in St. Johns. If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact me before booking so we can discuss whether the space will work for you, or arrange a mobile session at your location instead.
Can I book a same-day massage in Portland?
It depends on my current schedule. I don't have set office hours, so your best bet is to reach out directly and ask about availability. I often have openings, especially for mobile visits.
What makes your massage different from other therapists in Portland?
I approach each session as a conversation between your body and my hands. I spend time before the massage asking about problem areas, previous injuries, and pressure preferences — and then I actually listen during the work, checking in and adjusting as needed. Clients often mention that combination of skill and genuine care is what keeps them coming back.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. Choose whichever is most convenient for you.
How long have you been practicing massage therapy?
I've been a licensed massage therapist for about two years, trained at the Academy for Massage Therapy in San Antonio, Texas. While that might sound recent, I've worked with dozens of clients and developed a real intuition for what different bodies need.
