Therapeutic Massage with CASCADIA ROOTED WELLNESS

"Over the past 12+ years of working with Holly, I've watched her skillset expand as a massage therapist and now a committed herbalist. She has helped through injury and the manifestations of how my body responds to daily stressors. Holly meets me with compassion and expertise at each visit; I consider myself lucky to be one of her clients. "

Sarah D. -March 2024

"Holly is a wonderful massage therapist. She always focuses on my needs and holds a wealth of knowledge in herbal remedies".

Hollie - March 2024

"Strong, knowledgeable, experienced, caring...just a few adjectives you can depend on when you work with Holly. Do yourself a favor, call her and get great care. 

Teresa- March 2024

"Holly is an extraordinary therapist with extensive holistic healing knowledge. I've been seeing her for years and she has helped me greatly".

Laurie- March 2024

"I've been seeing Holly at Cascadia Rooted Wellness for chronic low back pain for more than 5 years. She has been committed, caring, and is constantly striving to learn more about all aspects of wellness. I would highly recommend Holly for anyone looking for therapeutic massage. "

Anna- March 2024

 "I have relied on Holly to help me stay active for several years. Her body work has helped me heal acute injuries, chronic pain, and general life stress."

Jennifer- February 2024 

"I've been going to Holly for massage for many years now. She's so attentive to my body and my mental health. I have already and will continue to recommend Holly to my friends."

Allie- February 2024

"I have been a client if Holly's for many years. Her skilled and caring massages have helped me through pain that I had almost given hope that I could feel better. After working with Holly, I do!"

Adrienne- February 2024

"Holly is an incredible therapeutic massage specialist. She knows anatomy & physiology, understands injury and is skilled in helping relieve pain. She has a relaxing, safe office; and is easy to work with". 

Todd S.- January 2024

"Thank you for discovering the cause of the neuropathy behind my toes on both feet. I hope that in future sessions you can eliminate the numbness I have been suffering with since last January".

Mike- January 2024

"I limped to the massage table because the arthritis in my left ankle tortured me. I left after 90 minutes of therapeutic massage jumping with joy. Thanks to Holly's magic. "

Udo- January 2024

 "I have had the pleasure of receiving massages from Holly and she is the best. Not only does she possess a talent for massage therapy, but her expertise as an herbalist added a unique dimension to our client/provider relationship. Holly's knowledge of herbs and their healing properties is truly impressive. She took the time to customize an effective herbal treatment to address my specific needs, one of which made my last allergy season the best in decades. Her warm and welcoming demeanor immediately put me at ease, creating a comfortable and nurturing environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Holly to anyone seeking a massage therapist/ herbalist who goes above and beyond to provide a holistic experience." 

Clayton  -September 2023 

"Day after the first hour massage. I had no pain the evening before.  You were right, as I woke up, I had no pain in my neck or shoulder from the massage, I felt considerably looser. The range of motion in my neck and arms was definitely better. I have had a high energy day. I really think than lessening the pain has helped me feel happier and lighter. Looking forward to see you again." 

Ann- June 2023

​

"My recent massage was extraordinary. It was like Holly got into almost every muscle group that was sore from either chronic wear and tear or recent work in my garden. I especially was pleased with Holly asking during the last 20 minutes for my feedback on which muscle or joint location still needed a little more work. I was so relaxed and chronic pain free that it was difficult to leave. "

Mike T -May 2023

​

" I recently had an accident that resulted in a TBI (brain injury), a SI joint that was very dislocated, plus overall body trauma. The medical system was very responsive at handling the emergency but failed completely at helping to heal. Fortunately, Holly became part of my healing team, and her work was excellent. She helped release trauma in various areas of my body, also had very helpful guidance on the overall recovery process. If you are in need, my recommendation: do not wait, take charge of your own health, and include Holly in that process. Thank you for all you do Holly!

Phil N- February 2023

 "Holly is very, very good at what she does. She will find places that need work before I am even aware of them. She is knowledgeable beyond just massage therapy and treats her clients with a wholistic approach and give referrals when appropriate. "Kathy O. - February 2023  

"Holly is very knowledgeable and is good at what she does. I left feeling great and no more pain. Looking forward to continuing my treatment to reach my goals". 

Linda T- January 2023

​

"I have been a client of Holly's for several years and experienced tremendous benefits for issues from a sprained ankle to a shoulder injury to the release of everyday tight muscles. Most recently I've had significant neck and jaw pain. At my last massage, I asked Holly for help. She worked on the inside of my mouth and on the outside of the jaw and by the end of the session I felt immediate relief. My jaw felt the most relaxed and spacious it has in months. I appreciated how she asked insightful questions about my body and listened carefully to my answers. She even taught me some self-massage techniques I can do between sessions! I've been recommending Holly to all my friends for years, but want to make sure anyone considering seeing her knows she is truly skilled and knowledgeable practitioner. I am continually impressed by her comprehensive understanding of the human body and how it is interconnected. Book a session with her today! You'll be very glad you did."

Morgan L.- November 2022

​

"While visiting my family in Germany, I developed lower back pains. Five 90-minute sessions at a Berlin physiotherapist decreased the pain but did not make it disappear. After a 90-minute massage with Holly, I had a soreness for a day, but then the pain in the lower back is gone! 

Halleluja and el-hammdullillah!

Udo- October 2022

​

 I have had flexibility and mobility issues in my right hip for years that became limiting and painful over the past several months. I knew it was a problem with connective tissue between my quad muscle and pelvis but was not able to loosen things up on my own. Holly identified the psoas as the root source of the problem. The massage work she does on my quad and psoas is not fun and easy, but the hip is releasing, and the pain has greatly diminished. I finally have hope of regaining full mobility in my hip."

Mary P- September 2022​

"Thank you, Holly, for today's session! As soon as I sat in the car, I immediately felt like I was sitting taller with better posture. Thanks again for your gifts."

Kate R. July 2022

​"Thanks for a good start on a new relationship taking care of my body. Really appreciated your advice on things to work on at home, from toes to nose! Feeling good!

Ken S- April 2022 

"After a car accident left me with whiplash, I can say the best-case scenario unfolded: I met Holy and she set me right, better than before. Holly is a healing wonder. Every time I have seen her, I feel energetically worked over in the most intensely positive way."

Taji- January 2022

​

"I felt like your massage really zeroed in on my troubles and that with a few visits and my doing my exercises and stretching that I'm going to make improvements and get back to being active again."

Dan D. January 2022

"Your massage yesterday was one of the best I've ever had and among several of your best massages over the last 18 months." 

Mike -December 2021

 "I never really liked cats, but I adore MY cat. Similarly, I'm really not a fan of massages, but I love Holly's massages! My MD sent me to Holly due to an injury, and I have found her wisdom, skill and professional network to be immensely helpful. Holly has been attentive to me as a whole person, communicating clearly to apply just the right amount of pressure, helping to discover the source of pain, and suggesting behaviors to support my health. She is a self-proclaimed nerd when it comes to learning about healing, and her patients benefit from her passion! I am a very Covid cautious person, and Holly is serious about precautions, which makes me feel comfortable and relaxed on her heated table. I can't recommend her enough!

Kimberly W. - December 2021

"Holly is a skilled massage therapist. I just had my second massage from her and after both sessions I felt amazing. I went to her to address a shoulder injury and I was very impressed with her holistic approach."

Patrick U- November 2021

​

"I was very thankful a trusted fellow healer recommended you to me! After my treatment with you and lots of water, stretches and heat recommended by you, I am moving and functioning so much better! you helped me greatly and I look forward to our next appointment. Best wishes for your continued studies in healing! With gratitude, 

Stacy B.- August 2021

​

"Thank you for the wonderful massage today, Holly. My hips feel looser today. I'm very grateful for you". 

Laury T. -June 2021

"Thank you, I felt our appointment was enormously helpful!"

Jay G.- June 2021

 "Thank you so much. Last night was the first time in months that I didn't stagger in the middle of the night... I got up and was walking like magic. I don't know how but you healed me big time."

Johnny H- May 2021​

"The massage was great....thank you so much. I left relaxed, super zoned out... Perfect. Thanks for my first massage experience!"

Padraic M. April 2021

​"Holly, thank you for such an amazing massage and explaining the various muscle groups associated with my problem areas."

Charlse C-April 2021​

Thank you for a great massage yesterday. You have the knowledge, experience, will, compassion and strength to get a lot done towards returning to balance. You're not afraid to get after it. I feel so much better. I must say you are one of the top massage therapists I've ever had the pleasure to work with. You are a force for good in the world.

"John H- March 2021  

"My body just loves Holly! She is one of my favorite new discoveries in Ashland. Her obvious knowledge of the body and massage technique has helped to work out the kinks and the wear and tear that comes with aging. I have grown to look forward to my monthly massages. Actually, I can't imagine doing without. "

Donna T- February 2021

​

"Holly is not only an excellent massage therapist but a true healer. She is adept at listening to what the musculoskeletal system and the tissues have to say and then skillfully ask them (with her hands delivering perfect pressure to them) to go where they need to go. She has helped relax areas of chronic tension in my body and to be present and feel more as the body. I am very grateful to her and happy to recommend her highly to anyone." 

S Mohan- December 2020

​

 "I want to thank you for an excellent treatment yesterday. I got home and did a few things (like bend down :-) and realized I have been in more pain than I realized. And it is so much easier when my body moves!"

Karen R- December 2020

​

"Releasing the fascia in my right hip was very helpful. I am moving a bit easier today. Thanks."

Karen K- November 2020

​

​

"Holly gives extraordinary massages like very few deep tissue massage therapists I have ever been treated by! If you have long-term structural issues and related pain, as I have for 20 years, from severe stress through everyday wear-and-tear to extreme sports, she can rectify almost any skeletal-muscular ailment."

Mike M- November 2020

​

"Thank you for your blessed massage yesterday. I am very grateful! When I got into my car after the appointment, I realized I was able to take bigger breaths. Thank you. 

Laury - October 2020

​

"What a pleasure it was to meet you and experience your healing massage techniques. You related to my symptoms and evaluated my needs accordingly. Each day since, I have experienced subtle changes with pain and mobility relief. With sincere gratitude and thanks."

Karen P-October 2020  

​ 

"Thank you Holly. I want to give praise for the work that you did on me yesterday. Even though I still feel the physical challenges that my body is going through, I think the body work that you are doing is having a much more profound effect on my overall well-being. I was actually kind-of sing-y and dance-y in the grocery store after my visit with you. Not the norm these days. thank you!

Luke- October 2020

  "Since covid, I've been cautious about activities and appointment bit I felt comfortable returning to massage with Holly because of her abundant attention to hygiene. She communicated a system before and during the appointment that was thorough and reasonable. I got to keep up my self-care while feeling relaxed and safe. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Holly!

Emily S.- June 2020

"Thank you Holly. I was very much looking forward to the massage. At the end of our session  felt like the issues I have been having with my body had been completely addressed. You were caring about what my body has been through and you checked with me from time to time to make sure the pressure you were applying was acceptable. I felt totally relaxed at the end of the session. I appreciate your healing touch and the time you spent with me. "

Kris R. June 2020

"I have a chronic wrist issue: pain, ganglion cyst, inflammation, numbness, tingling etc. An orthopedist seemed to have me on the fast track for carpal tunnel release surgery, but massage and chiropractic has vastly improved all of my symptoms. I'm so grateful I found healing massage when I did!"

Mary L December 2019

"Its vitally important to get treatment for back pain promptly. I used to wait and see if it got better on its own, but I began to treat it with massage, acupuncture and chiropractic right away and the healing took weeks instead of months or even years. Now I use those modalities preventively and my back rarely hurts. Life is so much better without chronic back pain. Thank you."

Kristin A.  October 2019

  "Thanks Holly! I'm grateful I was directed to you! What a relaxing and deeply releasing experience. Your treatment made it easier to smile! I'm looking forward to the next several weeks of healing with you!"

Eric R. July 2019

"You are spectacular at what you do in the areas of health care. Thank you for your support in maintaining my health, especially with your resources that you freely give out to those in your care and probably much more. I appreciate all of the information that I get from you and the way you take the time to write down these recommendations for me. Thank you for all of the full presence of yourself that you put into focused work with me, and I'm sure each individual you come in contact with. Can't wait until my next appointment. " 

Molly B. April 2019

 "Holly, mobility in my right arm is much improved. And, the pain is a lot less too. I'm trying to keep it stretched out with the foam roller. Thanks so much, the difference is nearly miraculous. 

Mark H January 2019

"I would like to say that I really value the massages with you. You seem very intuitive and in addition to making my muscles 'feel better' you offer a lot of helpful suggestions, both exercises and natural supplements."

Adrienne T. January 2018

"Professional, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and a fabulous massage therapist! So glad I know Holly. "

Dianna G. January 2019

  "Thank you so much for your session. I think it was a tremendous help for my tight muscles. I look forward to my next visit. "

Donna W. January 2019

"Oh Holly! Your massage is like the gift that keeps on giving! My neck and back feel so much better and I am so grateful!"

Marcy B November 2018

It was great. I felt very stable after the treatment. I look forward to our future visits."

Michael H. November 2018

"The health and body care I receive from Holly goes way beyond merely massage. She treats the whole person, and her massage technique is gentle, firm and caring. I always leave feeling healed on many levels."

Laurie K. November 2018

"Holly, thank you for yesterday's massage, after multiple massage therapists I finally found the one I was looking for in you. I am a very active person with tight muscles and need a therapist that can really get in there and that's exactly what you did, you understand the human body and I left my appointment with you feeling so much better. I am grateful."

Paul S. June 2018

"Thanks again for that amazing massage! That felt great."

Sara A. June 2018

"The therapeutic work I have had with Holly is unmatched to any massage work I have ever experienced. Her knowledge and openness to hear me and help me learn what is going on with my body and structural issues is more than I have learned in the past 13 years since the birth of my first child. I am so deeply grateful to have had Holly's intuitive and deep muscle work for the pain I have been dealing with and I highly recommend her for anyone needing caring, strong and compassionate support in massage therapy." Michelle P. May 2018

Holly's knowledge of the human body exceeds most body workers. During a treatment session with Holly, I complained about pain in my knee cap. Holly felt my knee, the core problem she assessed, started in my psoas and IT band. She began working on these areas. Today, I am free of any knee pain. I scheduled my appointment with Holly, with some skepticism, after a friend raved about Holly's massages. Holly lived up to the outstanding recommendation. After one session on Holly's table, I have never considered going to any other body worker. It was Holly, not the PT, who resolved my knee pain. Holly's primary goal is always for her client's health. She has a strong but gentle approach when suggesting stretches I might do between visits, aiding me in having a stronger and healthier body. There is no pressure or judgement from her; she supports my choices. Holly, unlike other body workers, does not believe in the same treatment for all clients. She customizes the treatment for my body based on the aches and pains I am experiencing." 

Sue K. - May 2018

 "Holly is by far one of the best therapists I have had the privilege to work with and I have seen several massage therapists throughout my life. She is the best! Holly is very professional and you can feel that from her. She knows her stuff and is great with injuries. She brought me back to life after a car accident! She always listens to your concerns and will also give you special exercises or stretches for your particular issue. I can't say enough good things about her. Please go see for yourself. You wont be sorry."

Buffie -April 2018
 

  "My arm feels remarkably better today. It was a very valuable session for me and I look forward to the two more already booked in the next two weeks. Rotator cuff pain and immobility eased more in the last 24 hours than in the two weeks before that. Thank you for your caring, competent work. Yesterday's massage was exactly what I needed. As I said, I just wish I met you six weeks ago. No matter. You have put me on the right track. Thank you."

Sam B. -January 2018 

 "My appointment rocked!!! I felt so much better after the appointment today, thanks again!"

Kari- January 2018 

"What I have learned with Holly's guidance about healing a frozen shoulder that has been most beneficial is that you have to start a full treatment approach as soon as possible. This full treatment approach includes frequent massage therapy and Holly is absolutely wonderful! Physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic care can also shorten the recovery time for this type of injury. You must be committed to addressing this as much and as soon as you can. Holly's knowledge of this type of issue definitely helped me get my range of motion back sooner as well as reducing the pain that accompanies frozen shoulder. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with frozen shoulder". 

Valeria S -February 2018

 "I feel like I've finally found the massage therapist that's exactly right for me. Strong and caring, straightforward, aware, highly adept and skilled. Thanks much, Holly. See you next time."

Angela W.- October 2018

 "After my motorcycle accident, Holly was of immense help in regaining mobility in my neck and shoulders. She has also improved my physical conditioning more generally. Not only do my visits with Holly help to maintain my strength and mobility, but she has taught me exercises and lifestyle practices that help me daily. I wish I had started working with Holly when I was much younger. I am sure I would be in better condition today."

Mike A.- September 2018

"I am really happy with how much helpful info and awesome massage therapy I received from you during my 1-hour appointment yesterday.

 Hillary -October 2018

"Holly's massage technique is firm, confident and spot-on. She quickly identified the areas that needed attention, including a couple I was unaware of, and I am generally in touch with my body. She expertly and efficiently kneaded out the lumpy knots and tangled fascia, all while maintaining consistent pressure. I appreciated her note about my calves and Achilles tendon being overly tight and have incorporated calve stretches into my morning mat routine. She is very personable and shares her feedback and knowledge in a way that's genuinely helpful. I highly recommend Holly!"

Barbara V. -October 2018  

"I have been seeing Holly monthly now of massage for nearly three years. Mostly for maintenance as I have a physically demanding profession. About 2 years ago I had a baby and unexpectedly had a C-section. The post-partum months brought discomfort, but also back pain I had never experienced. After my incision and abdomen healed, I began doing core exercises, but my back pain persisted. After some time, Holly began working on my abdomen, releasing fascial adhesions and working on the viscera. Within a few sessions, my back pain eased greatly and after 4 sessions my pain was nearly gone. In addition, I felt was more effectively able to retrain my core musculature after her work to my abdomen. I highly recommend this type of work if you have recently carried a child regardless of delivery, but especially if delivered by C-section. 

Mallory  L. -August 2017

 "Thank YOU for your perspective insights. Went to yoga today with mindfulness. Felt like I was floating through silk when I left. Neck massage was lovely and obviously needed. 

Kathrine H. March 2017

"Thank you Holly! As always I was floating on a cloud afterwards". 

Adrienne E. June 2017

"Holly is a great listener. She pays thoughtful attention to my descriptions of the injury and uses her knowledge and experience to get me on the road to a quick recovery.

 Tia B. July 2017

"Holly's passion for helping people and care for her clients is evident immediately upon meeting her. Her massage skills are wonderful for both relaxation and injuries. I recommend her to everyone I can."

Brian K. July 2017 

 "I have been going to massage therapists for about 5 years for a back and neck injury. During that time I learned that very few massage therapists have the skill that Holly has. In fact, I don't really think of her as a massage therapist at all. She is more of a healer. She always knows where my sore spots are and how to treat them. I would easily recommend Holly over any other massage therapists I know.

 David S. August 2017 

 "Before Holly, I never sought out massage as a means for self-care, even though I had lived with muscle tension in my upper back and neck that caused frequent headaches for most of my adult life. My experience thus far has been life-changing. I realized after my first visit that the pain I was so used to didn't have to be a normal state of being. I will continue to see her once a week for the foreseeable future because the progress has been accumulative, and Holly consciously prices her services affordably so that consecutive visits are possible and real improvements can be made. "

Jamie S. April 2015

"A gifted therapist with a generous spirit: Holly has been my massage therapist for about 3 months. When I first came to her I was in so much pain, and it was difficult to walk, using a cane and limping badly for several months. My muscles were in charley horse mode 24/7. Her touch and style of working with releasing fascia adhesion is sensitive, not forceful, but nonetheless deep, and firm; and 100% effective. She is communicative, affirmative, knowledgeable and involved; and gets down to the source of the problem quickly! Due to her advice about what stretches to enjoy, and her feedback about body awareness, my general posture and gait are improving. Adn most importantly, due to her work with me on the table: I no longer use a walking stick; I have returned to dance class and am taking brisk walks everyday! Wow! So wonderful to be able to move again! Thanks Holly!

Madelyn B April 2015 

 "I have been working with Holly for about a year. I am a martial artist, yogi, and have a very active life including housework, gardening and sports. Thanks to Holly I am able to maintain this challenging lifestyle and remain relatively injury free and pain-free. Holly is an excellent therapeutic massage therapist, and she intuitively seems to know what my body needs and has given me good advice on alternative therapies and other things that can help me stay healthy. When I miss my weekly massage with Holly due to travel or other reasons my body really notices the difference. I am grateful to have Holly as my massage therapist." 

Nancy L. June 2015

" Holly has worked doggedly on two separate issues in my back and neck; one is chronic, the other injury-related. She combines a deep knowledge of anatomy with intuitive sense of touch, and goes an extra mile, suggesting stretches and other exercises to promote healing, as well as showing how combining massage with modalities such as acupuncture or chiropractic can be even more beneficial. She always demonstrated her care for my health and has consistently encouraged me to know that I wont always be in pain."

 Jim D June 2015 

"Holly gives wonderful, deep massage and is very responsive to your body's needs and condition. She really takes care of the whole person. Holly works with you to establish a schedule of regular massage that works for you and is affordable. Holly is very helpful with giving suggestions for stretches and care that you can do on your own at home. Going to see Holly is always a nice way to take care yourself."

Hannah A. May 2015
