Sitka Kathryn Hoover, LMT

Massage Therapist, Lomi Lomi, Table Thai, Relaxation Massage

My name is Sitka, and I am licensed massage therapist who approaches massage therapy from an integrative perspective; with a background of training in Temple Style Lomi Lomi, Table Thai Massage, Myofascial Release and Pelvic Floor work.

My massage treatments are approached with mindfulness and an attuned attention to the sensations of the body; staying relaxed and connected to the breath - with the intention to harness present moment awareness to go inwards into the inner journey of body, mind and spirit. The intention of every massage session is to invite stillness and to deepen into relaxation, to unwind & release tension and expand into serenity.

I graduated from massage school at the Ashland Institute of Massage in 2009, and I've been on a personal journey of exploring bodywork modalities and personal healing ever since. My bodywork practice is a fusion of 20 years dedicated to exploring a vast spectrum of bodywork modalities including: Thai Massage, Lomi Lomi, Swedish & Deep Tissue, Pelvic Bowl Myofascial Release - in addition to Kambo, Yin Yoga, Chanting and body-centered healing arts rooted in breathwork & mindfulness.

Additionally, I am a resident DJ for our local Fernhill Ecstatic Dance community here in Portland.
