About Kevin

As a Licensed Massage Therapist with 18 years of experience, I began my journey in 2006 at East West College of the Healing Arts, where a Thai Massage elective in 2007 captivated me with its innovative use of feet, knees, elbows, and passive stretching. Since launching my practice in Oregon in 2007, I’ve honed my skills primarily in chiropractic and wellness clinics, working with clients from teenagers to seniors, including those recovering from motor vehicle accidents (MVAs).

My approach blends Western and Eastern techniques to tailor each session—whether for relaxation, musculoskeletal stretching, chronic injury relief, or acute injury support to boost blood and lymph flow. allowing you to focus on healing.

A pivotal moment came in 2007 when I was struck by a car while cycling to massage school, an experience that deepened my understanding of recovery and propelled me to Thailand in 2009 to study Thai Massage at the Healing Tao Center, Sunshine Massage School, I.T.M. School, and Baan Hom Samunphrai School. I returned in 2017 for six weeks at Baan Hom Samunphrai and most recently in 2025 to Sirichan Clinic, training in Lanna Style Abdominal Massage, Thai Deep Walking Massage, and Traditional Thai Massage under Dr. Nooy’s supervision.

This personal journey, akin to an initiation into healing, fuels my confidence, especially with MVA clients, whom I support with flexible care—starting with gentle techniques for relaxation and progressing to deeper methods like Trigger Point Therapy as needed to restore mobility and ease pain.

My philosophy integrates the physical and energetic body, drawing from Thai Massage’s focus on meridians or sen lines—pathways that, like rivers, must flow freely to remove blockages and promote healing, much like Chinese Medicine principles. This insight, combined with two years of instructing in kinesiology, anatomy, physiology, body mechanics, and overseeing a student clinic, enriches my practice. Having healed from my own accident, I bring empathy and practical knowledge, offering phased care that begins with parasympathetic relaxation and advances to deep tissue work as clients progress.

Beyond my professional path, my active lifestyle—rooted in a childhood of baseball and basketball—keeps me grounded. I maintain fitness with Tai Chi, Tango, Kettlebell workouts, and Isometric exercises, sharpening my focus and strength. My favorite days are spent in nature by rivers, lakes, or mountains, where serenity inspires the peaceful healing space I create for clients. I remain committed to growing my craft, hopeful to practice for another 18 years.
