Immerse Modern Massage — Local services in Portland

I had a wonderful sound infused, Amethyst Infused, Infrared Heated massage with therapist, Mason, of Immerse Massage Portland.

Even before arriving to the studio, I felt very well taken care of. He provided me with confirmation emails that included all the ways to prepare and how to find the studio space.

As I approached the studio (which was a unit in a larger commercial building) I could already hear the relaxing music. Mason was there to greet me in what was a lightly lit room, the perfect lighting for a post-migraine massage which was the main reason I booked it.

He sat me down, offered me water and began the oral intake - there was no written intake. He handed it over to me without any specific questions and said he wanted to understand more about me including my intention of being there. I could tell already that his approach was person-centered. He had a fountain going and amethysts decorating the room.

Once we were finished speaking he left me in the room to undress to my comfort level and get under the heated, weighted, amethyst infrared blanket which was truly a treat.

I started on my back. That was my preference as I really dislike face cradles and he was going to mainly work on neck and head anyway since I was coming down from my migraine. He mentioned that gravity would help him a lot if I were in a supine position as well.

He started by exploring the range of motion in my neck. He moved slowly and I could tell he was very curious as he explained to me what he was seeing. This made me feel like I was in good hands. He started compression and this range of motion check with the blanket still on and once he took inventory as I like to call it he began.

His effleurage strokes applied the CBD oils around the surfaces he'd be massaging and he proceeded with moving my head from side to side in the most controlled and gentle manner to get into my scalenes and occipitals. I was completely impressed by the way he managed to move my head around quite a bit without it agitating me at all. It felt really good to stay moving after being sedentary so long the 12 hours before with my migraine.

He regularly checked in about his pressure to ensure that I was comfortable. I noticed from the start that the bass of the music was a little too much for my liking and was quick to accommodate my wishes to turn down the bass. I definitely enjoyed feeling the music move through me as I was being massaged as well as the sound of the fountain which made me feel like I was out in nature.

He proceeded to work my neck and head for a while and then moved down my arms which he explained were the extension of my neck. He did some friction and trigger point work in my forearms which definitely needed.

He turned my over into a prone position for the last part of the massage where he did some long strokes on my back and petrissage. I was happy to not be in the prone position very long.

I felt very well taken care of and enjoyed resting under the weighted blanket at the end until I was ready to get up and get dressed.

He left plenty of time at the end to answer any questions and talk over what he uncovered as he worked on my body.

I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to working with...

I had a truly immersive and lovely experience receiving healing work from Mason. Both his presence and the atmosphere he created felt so beautiful, comfortable, relaxing and safe to unravel in trust & ground into presence within my body which feels most important for being able to receive the most from any kind of bodywork. It was the perfect ambiance for healing and going inward for me. He was very receptive towards what my body needed and tended to areas of tension with directness and grace and compassion. I received not only a lot of relief from pain and tension and much needed relaxation, but also inspiration from being able to dive into my own inner wells due to the entirety of the whole healing experience between his skills and knowledge, intuition, energy and the full environment. I also left with some new insights and recomendations to take home with me... my own "homework" to continue towards greater healing and fluidity in life-- not the usual kind of "take an epsom salt soak, stretch or drink water" kind of homework... but deeper insights that felt true to me and will carry me further into my own well being and becoming. Grateful for...

Excellent experience!

From the moment I walked in the office, I was greeted with a warm pillow - which for someone who naturally is on the colder side was a great first impression! Then walking back to the massage space, entering into a dark teal room, with ambient lighting and a waterfall on the wall (YES. A waterfall!). I felt instantly at ease and comfortable.

Once going through and addressing my pain points with Mason, I hopped onto the bed and snuggled under the covers. The weight of the blanket was so nice as I felt my nervous system relax deeper. And yes, I still had the heated pillow! Ahhhhhh, yes. Warmth and coziness.

During the massage, I felt taken care of and totally IMMERSED in the experience because, all my senses were delighted!

One of the coolest things was experiencing a massage with solfeggio frequencies! The table was literally vibrating with healing waves. And when I left, my body certainly felt more aligned.

Thank you Mason @ Immerse Massage for providing such...
