Comice, LMT

Comice LMT
She/Her

Comice studied massage therapy at East West College of Healing Arts. She specializes in deep tissue, fascial release, Swedish and Thai massage. Comice also uses cupping therapy to help release especially painful hypertonic tissue and stimulate the healing flow of fluids and energy to stagnant areas.

Comice also offers Chi Nei Tsang (CNT), a centuries-old therapy from China. It is deep, gentle abdominal massage opening up fascia and energetic blocks in the abdominal organs & muscles, creating a renewed efficiency, improving both physical and emotional health. CNS is particularly useful in relieving intestinal blockages, cramps, scar tissue, headaches, menstrual cramps, poor blood circulation, back pain, infertility, and impotence, as well as speed healing from injury, trauma, childbirth or surgery.

Comice combines the important knowledge of muscles and connective tissues with the fact that the body is a single system needing a more holistic approach to healing. She focuses on your complaints while simultaneously acknowledging that a neck pain may actually be stemming from a foot imbalance or even an emotional trauma and thus will address a more broad treatment than just your neck.

Her style can be light or deep, depending on your feedback. She finds that though we are tempted to force an issue to be well, the most effective long term treatments are ones where we slow down and match the speed of the tissue melt, letting the body set the pace rather than our eager brains. You will walk away from your massage feeling deeply relaxed and may not even notice the depth she has gone as she moves with great patience. She encourages you to test your range of motion, or give your discomfort a number before your massage, and then again afterward to truly be aware of the change that has taken place.

Besides being passionate about healing through massage, Comice is also passionate about her family, physical activities in nature like hiking and swimming, traveling the world and dancing.

Raelynn, LMT

Raelyn LMT
She/Her

Raelynn believes that every person walks a different path in life and therefore has different massage needs. In her work, she strives to listen to each person carefully and work with him or her to find those needs and tailor each session accordingly, whether the needs are physical, mental, or emotional. She is capable of working deeply or very lightly, depending on individual situations. Her massages are relaxing, peaceful experiences, whether for injury treatment or stress relief, as she believes the body is better able to heal itself in a more relaxed state.

Raelynn completed her massage training at Healing Hands School of Holistic Health in Escondido California in 2013, where she gained a solid foundation in anatomy and began to develop her unique, intuitive style. She initially had her own practice in California before moving back to the Pacific Northwest and obtaining her Oregon massage license in 2014. Since then she has gained valuable experience in both clinical and spa settings, developing a style that is deeply therapeutic yet highly relaxing. She uses a combination of deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, shiatsu, sports and Swedish massage. Raelynn is also trained in prenatal massage and cupping.

Raelynn and her husband own a small plot of land in White Salmon have a dream of developing it into a large permaculture garden. So, when she’s not working with clients, Raelynn is likely out digging in the dirt, reading about permaculture, or hiking in the woods getting inspiration from the natural wonders all around us.


Roe, LMT

Roe, LMT
They/Them

Roe's approach to bodywork is intentional, collaborative, and nurturing. They are passionate about providing care that is gender affirming, consent-based, and trauma sensitive. Roe's pace trends slow and pressure moderate, but can accommodate various needs as they align with the intuitive nature of the body. They believe deeply in the importance of mind-body connection and nervous system participation as it relates to treatment efficacy. Only from a present, calm, regulated space can the body and mind receive and integrate bodywork. Using a combination of Swedish relaxation, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and neuromuscular facilitation they tend to the client's nervous system and tissues collectively.

Roe studied massage therapy at East West College of Healing Arts. With a growth mindset, they continue their education through daily learning.

Aside from their passion for bodywork and healing, Roe finds fulfillment through meditative time in nature, adventure sports, such as snowboarding and windsurfing, cozy tea time with their cat and a paintbrush, as well as cooking creatively for loved ones. Roe has spent several years living and traveling abroad in Central America. Roe habla español.


Saliha, LMT

Saliha LMT
She/Her

Saliha has studied massage since 1991 and during that time has actively practiced bodywork for 13 years. She believes our bodies hold infinite wisdom in finite form, and as such they are a mystery. Saliha uses her intuition and listens through her hands to learn from the mystery of the body what it needs to move into a more balanced and harmonious state.

Saliha specializes in Myofascial Release (MFR). The fascia, or connective tissue, is a collagenous, nerve-rich sheath that wraps and interconnects every structure in the body and tight fascia can cause pain in muscles and joints. MFR uses stretching, rather than the friction of traditional massage, to encourage the fascia out of patterns of constriction and into release and spaciousness.

Saliha also practices Polarity Therapy, which uses gentle-to-deep touch and movements, such as rocking, to balance and unblock the flow of the electro-magnetic energy currents on and around the body. This can result in a deep relaxation at many levels of the mind and body and healing from the pain of constrictive patterns.

As a singer and a healing practitioner it was natural for Saliha to combine the two through vocal sound-healing. As our bodies are vibration, and sound is a primary vibration of life-force energy, vocal sound healing can alter our vibrational patterns out of tension and dis-ease and into comfort, relaxation, well-being, and healing. During a vocal sound-healing session Saliha places her hands on or over the body to tune into its energy. She then intuitively sings the tones that most express what she feels, and sometimes the tones become a song unique to that client.

In her practice Saliha offers Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Integrative Therapeutic Massage, Reiki (Level II), Polarity Therapy, Vocal Sound Healing, and Prenatal Massage, and her pressure level is moderate.

Saliha grew up in the Philippines and loves to travel. She has lived in many places, including California, Mexico, New Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii. She is passionate about the outdoors and loves to backpack, camp, and hike. Saliha is a singer, a sound-healer, and an astrologer. Saliha habla español.
