Relax PDX

Kirstin is a truly lovely and kind person. Her massages are intuitive and healing. I usually float out the door when it’s over — with the feeling lingering for days. The space is very quiet, clean, and soothing.

I’ve been working out lots and find myself walking around with super stiff, super sore muscles. Kirstin’s massage was thorough and effective. There are the sorts of massages that make you feel relaxed and want to nap, and the sort that actually fix problems and make you feel better; this was the latter. I’m sure she could do the former as well, so perhaps we’ll try that some other time :)

I have been under some extreme stress and focusing so much on others, that I finally decided enough was enough and went on Unilocal and found two massage therapists I thought I’d try out – one last week and one this week.
Little did I realize until I booked the 2^nd massage with Kristin Davis of Relax PDX, that both massage therapists worked out of the same office, just different rooms.
So last week it was Kim of Massage Naturally, and today it was Kristin Davis. Bottom line: I loved both of them and have re-​booked with both for future sessions.
Kristin was super personable and down-​to-​earth and we actually got caught up in a conversation about a topic that came up from my intake form. I enjoyed the chat and I appreciated even more that she still dedicated an entire hour to the massage itself. She listened to exactly what I wanted from the massage and made it entirely relaxing, while also working out some extreme tightness in my shoulders.
I almost hate to share her name because she is not too easy to get in with… but she was too good to begrudge her a 5-​star review because I selfishly want to keep slots open for me. So there. I shared.
I’m glad I did my research and picked Kristin. She is great.

Great, awesome, highly recommended!

I really love coming here. Found Kirstin through Google Offers, and on my first visit we had a brief «get to know you» session where she asked what I was looking for in a massage therapist. She really listened to my answers, and went to work on my problem areas– instead of just doing the «standard» that some massage therapists do even after you tell them to work on a specific thing.
Also she has an impressive array of fragrances for aromatherapy, so I like trying different scents every time I go there.
I’m sort of a shy person when I first meet people, and I really appreciate that she didn’t try to initiate any artificial conversations. Now that I’m getting to know her a bit better, she’s also fine with chatting as much or as little as I want.
She schedules extra time between each appointment so you don’t get rushed in or out, which is definitely a plus when you are going somewhere to relax.
I’ve seen Kirstin maybe 6 times now and liked her enough to buy a massage package– which I don’t ever do. Her prices are extremely reasonable already. Highly recommend her, she is great!

It’s nice when a business gets even better. After a nasty fender bender a few months ago, I again went in to Relax PDX for some TLC at Kristins strong hands.
She amazes me. After we talk for a minute or so about what happened (teen texting while driving in rush hour on I-​5) Kirstin left the room so I could disrobe, lay on my tummy on her super warm flannel covered massage table.
When she returned she ran her hands down my back, pushed a little here, pressed a little there and by gosh, she had determined exactly where I hurt. She does have some sort of ESP when it comes to feeling my pain. and this works for her other clients too!
Plenty pf parking, easy access onto Scholls Fy Rd going up to Sylvan Hill or down towards Beaverton, close shopping at Safeway or Fred Meyers nearby and there is a McMinimum in the Parking Lot if you want minimal service but good fries and beer.
I got 60 minutes of good hard massage of my lower back and neck and 30 minutes of massage of the rest of my body. and this is covered by PIP from the ding bat who hit me insurance company BTW, which seems only fair. Make sure you get an referral for massage from your doctor or you might not be able to get insurance to pay for it. Gots to play that game.
Kirstin is magic when it comes to knowing how deep I want her to work, but she asks if she has doubts. With my ongoing back pain, I prefer strong massage, especially in the sciatica area.
This place is a great asset to people in Chronic Pain, and I encourage people dealing with pain to check Relax PDX out as a place to go where you really can relax and come away feeling so much better
Thank You Kirstin for your talent and dedication to your clients care. I’m impressed.
