Aspire Total Body Sculpt — Attraction in Portland

As someone who has spent years exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern wellness, I can genuinely say that discovering lymphatic massage at Aspire has been a profound addition to my health. What initially drew me in was curiosity about supporting my body's natural detoxification processes, but what I've experienced has been far more comprehensive & transformative than I anticipated!

The lymphatic system, often called our body's "second circulatory system," plays such a crucial role in immune function and cellular health, yet it's frequently overlooked in conventional healthcare approaches. The practitioners here demonstrate a deep understanding not just of the technical aspects of lymphatic drainage, but of how this work integrates with the body's innate wisdom and healing capacity.

What strikes me most about my sessions is the gentleness of the approach. Unlike deep tissue work that can sometimes feel invasive, lymphatic massage honors the delicate nature of the lymphatic vessels while still being remarkably effective. The rhythmic, flowing movements create a meditative quality that allows both body & mind to enter a state of deep relaxation & receptivity. I've noticed that this isn't just physical relief, for there's an emotional & energetic release that happens as stagnant lymph begins to move.

The practitioners here bring both clinical knowledge and intuitive / conscious awareness to their work. They take time to understand your individual situation, current health challenges, and wellness goals. This personalized approach reflects a truly integrative philosophy that sees each person as a unique whole rather than a collection of symptoms to address.

Over the course of several sessions, I've experienced improvements in areas I hadn't even connected to lymphatic health: better sleep quality, increased mental clarity, reduced brain fog, and a general sense of lightness & vitality. The noticeable reduction in inflammation has been particularly meaningful, for reducing inflammation was another intention in seeking lymphatic massage support.

What I appreciate most is how this work has deepened my understanding of my own body's intelligence. The sessions have become a form of moving meditation, teaching me to listen more closely to subtle signals and to trust in my body's inherent capacity for healing & balance. This aligns beautifully with my broader approach to wellness, where the goal isn't just symptom relief but cultivating a deeper relationship with one's own vitality.

I will also note that the integration of complementary modalities and the practitioners' knowledge of how lymphatic work interfaces with other healing approaches demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of wellness as a multidimensional experience.

For anyone exploring natural approaches to immune support, detoxification, or simply seeking to enhance their overall sense of well-Being, I wholeheartedly recommend this lymphatic massage experience. It truly support you to remember & reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and healing capacity.

This work has reminded me that true wellness is creating the conditions for our natural vitality to flourish. In a world that often prioritizes quick fixes, finding practitioners who honor the body's intelligence and work in partnership with our innate healing systems feels like...

Every aspect of my experience at Aspire Total Body Sculpt, was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about the wonderful women who founded the business/work there, & I had the absolute pleasure of meeting. Simultaneously professional, very friendly & welcoming, they've created an extremely comfortable atmosphere. They’re compassionate, flexible, & kind, real people who do not judge their clients; & they both have a great sense of humor! They went far beyond their jobs or what I expected, to ensure my comfort (even giving me extra assistance, due to my chronic back pain). It was/is obvious that their first priority is to help people, not to milk them for money. Their regular rates are comparable but still quite a bit lower than other body sculpting salons; & I think they would charge even less if they could afford to. Their science-based approach was explained thoroughly, & my many questions were welcomed without exasperation.

I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THE FULL TREATMENT!

At every step of their full treatment, they: checked my comfort level, explained the function of the step, & told me how it would feel, so there weren’t any surprises. Their clients’ comfort is very obviously their top priority. They told me what I could do at home to increase my results, & the self-lymphatic-massage they teach has been wonderful for decreasing bloating & other lower abdominal discomfort. As they explained (& I found in my research beforehand), there are A LOT of variables in the results one can expect. Getting the treatments regularly & not too far apart is 1 way to ensure better results. Unfortunately, things out of my control, made it difficult for me to follow an optimal schedule for treatments. I’m sure that my sporadic treatment schedule contributed to the effectiveness of the treatments on my body. Doing a few easy things in between treatments (short amounts of daily exercise, drinking lots of water, & not eating pizza & ice cream right after treatments), is also important for getting the best results. To that, I have to say: “Don’t be like me!!!” Life threw some curveballs my way that made it difficult for me to make these very simple adjustments to my daily life. Because of that, my results were pretty minimal. BUT! I do not fault the treatment itself; & it definitely wasn’t because of the excellent people administering it. I have FULL confidence in the science behind the work done by Aspire Total Body Sculpt, & that it IS effective, & CAN work. However, you MUST be both willing, & able, to work WITH the treatment to get the best results. If I had the money, I would be such a regular customer they’d be sick of me😂! (But they’d never show it, ‘cause they’re so darn...

The ladies at Aspire are extremely nice and understanding. I was hesitant, nervous, and feeling some trepidation at going in. I've always been curious about these Body Sculpting procedures, but thought they were only for the well off folk. I found a Groupon for two sessions at a very reasonable price and took the chance.

Yep, nervous and trepidacious define how I was feeling as I made the appt and especialy as I walked theough the door. I have ADHD and am on the spectrum so don't generally do well with people.

Right from the moment they said hello, they had me calming down. The office was comfortable and not the swanky, staunch place I was expecting. Ali greeted me with a big smile and talked me through how they operate, what to expect, and made sure I was aware they work with people to make sure you get what you ask for, no matter your walk of life (or funds, as is my case).

They moved my 1st half hour session to a complementary full hour! That alone had me thinking this place is awesome. Kim worked on me for the full hour, and I could FEEL the difference! Kim was delightful! We got along right off the bat and the conversation flowed easily! That is not how things usually go for me, to say the least. I was so comfortable I actually started dozing off a couple of times...

To say the session yielded results would be an understatement. The session gave me what I needed to begin the journey back to being me! Yes, there were physical results, but the psychological results are far outweighing the physical for me.

I'm a single mother going to school full time for two AAS degrees, and am on a very tight budget. Ali worked her magic and got me on a plan that is affordable for me! I'm beyond elated.

Oh, and the before and after photos from the first session alone, have my hopes of getting back to me soaring with confidence, that Ican do this! So much so, I forgot these appts usually end with a tip to the one giving the swrvice. 🤦‍♀️ Not going to forget during the next session, that's for sure.

Kim, Ali, and Maria....THANK YOU! And I'll see you again soon!
