Jessica Masters
History
Native to Bellingham, WA I moved south in search of Vit D in 2005. I have been a licensed massage therapist in Oregon since 2011, and worked at Siskiyou Massage Clinic from 2015-2019. I am certified in medical massage and trained in orthopedic assessment and techniques. I am a passionate student of anatomy and physiology, which informs my touch. I recognize that while our intention may be focused on your soft tissues while I do my work, I’m not just touching and affecting the muscles of your body, I’m touching all that is contained within the confines of your skin and beyond. You, in your entirety, from muscle fibers, your nervous system, hormones, and your emotional reactions and thought processes. You are reacting to every stimulus I provide.
What to Expect
How I approach facilitating change:
I have a variety of ways in which I communicate with your body. I access your wiring and encourage communication between the brain and your muscles using neuromuscular techniques including Positional Release, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitaion Stretches (or PNF Stretching), and a lot of opportunity for propioceptive feedback through passive and active movement of your joints as well as the highly effective modality of myofascial release. On my table you may also experience a wonderful modality called active cupping, which serves as an incredibly effective tool for change and treatment for a large variety of conditions.
I like to explore how things move and notice where they don’t, to really feel the underlying structures beneath my hands and know that they are not just images in a textbook, but living tissues in a real living human. I can follow the line of tension contributing to the restriction of movement, and melt it so that there is freedom again.
I love when someone tells me they can feel how one area is connected to another region of the body. We all know that the knee bone connects to the hip bone, but that doesn’t always translate into the knee bone affects the hip bone, which in turn affects the pelvis and low back, which alters the curvature of the spine, and alters the transmission of force by millidegrees and all of a sudden that’s why you have a headache. We need to expand our concepts of separate parts working in isolation and integrate the reality that the whole unit works together.
Morgan Willow
Bright Light with a Bright Mind
I'm on fire for how much healing
can happen when we are given the proper
space to drop into our own healing vibration.
When we are held in the ways to facilitate safe self discovery and release for that which
no longer serves, we get the opportunity
to meet ourselves again and again.
It is so radical and beautiful.
It is a Revolution.
Following my curiosity for the body has led me through yoga training, sports, martial arts, Reiki, anatomy studies, and to Massage Therapy. My massage practice focuses on CranioSacral Therapy enhanced by Myofascial Release. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing space that allows you to connect with your own healing process. Together we work toward recovery from acute injuries, chronic pain, or the demands of everyday life.
In each session, I tune into the body's subtle CranioSacral (CS) rhythm, particularly focusing on the cerebrospinal flow along the spine, sacrum and skull. By tuning in to your CS system, I can identify energetic imbalances and areas of tension. Additionally, it can also serve as a tool for personal and spiritual growth, offering a meditative exploration of deeper self awareness. Incorporating the structural component of Myofascial Release facilitates connective tissue health, helping reduce pain and improve mobility. I also employ other structural techniques of:
Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Cupping, and Reiki.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs.
My training at the Ashland Institute of Massage, combined with continuous learning in anatomy and specialized courses in chronic pain, leg/ankle function, and nervous system/somatic support, provides me with a solid physiological foundation to support your healing journey.
As an avid adventurer and skier, I understand the restorative power of nature and the vital connection between physical movement and well-being. Spending time outdoors has taught me about resilience, balance, and the body's remarkable capacity for renewal. This connection to nature profoundly influences my approach to healing as I bring that same spirit of harmony, adaptability, and flow into my practice. I believe that just as nature nurtures and restores, so too can mindful bodywork help clients reconnect with their own inner strength, balance, and healing potential.
I am honored to support you, whether your path involves physical, emotional, or energetic healing.
Please wear comfortable clothing for CranioSacral sessions, as this is a clothed practice, and shorts if wishing to incorporate Myofascial Release or other structural work.

The Massage You've Been Waiting For
I have been a licensed massage therapist & practicing bodyworker since 2006; enjoying a fun and dynamic career that started in Las Vegas, NV -- has journeyed through Portland and is now ushering me into beautiful Ashland. The last 18 years in this field have afforded me incredible opportunities to learn from brilliant minds, hone my most resonant skills and connect with people through the art of touch. Every environment I have worked in, from rehabilitation clinics to luxury spas and operating my own practice, have all helped to shape me as a practitioner. I am excited to share my work with the people of Ashland and continue to grow here.
My approach to bodywork is an intuitive one. Detail-oriented, methodical and thoughtful; rooted in a vast understanding for human anatomy/physiology, energy flow and the complexities of disease & healing processes. Pain, discomfort and the need for relief is a language I am fluent in. I don’t rush through an area; rather, I follow tension lines with corresponding techniques that allow your body to make its own choices to change its state. Giving attention to details without losing sight of the big picture. Because of this, you will experience your body in a more meaningful and connected way. You will realize quickly that you’re in safe and skilled hands. This allows for continued shifts in your nervous system, creating the perfect environment for powerful treatment outcomes. My goal is to bridge the gap between what you need and what you want. Blending this intention with both energy work and therapeutic touch creates a treatment session unlike any other.
I have an endless drive for personal development, constantly seeking knowledge in as many areas as possible. Some of my biggest bodywork influences through study are:
- Structural Integration - Trigger Point Therapy
- Orthopedic Massage - Myofascial Release
- Shiatsu - Reiki
- Somatic Approaches - Movement Re-education
Dawn Astrid

Dawn blends many different modalities in each personalized massage session. Myofascial release, cupping, shiatsu, and sports massage techniques are among the varied modalities that may be used in any given session to meet her client's goals. She specializes in deep tissue, results oriented techniques, but understands and has a great intuitive touch when it comes to knowing appropriate use of pressure. The most satisfying aspect of Dawn's work is the client who is relieved of their pain and on their way to better health. Working with a sports chiropractor for most of her career, this deep tissue Jedi has worked with pre-Olympians and professional athletes including the Anaheim Ducks, Dodgers, Angels, and football, tennis, surf, golf, and volleyball players to name a few. She understands sports injuries; works with pre and post op; and is knowledgeable in finding the source of pain.

Maia Zildjian
Peaceful and Potent Therapeutic Work
A passion for holistic healing inspired me to pursue a deeply fulfilling career in massage therapy. In my practice I have developed a robust appreciation for the intricacies of body's mechanics as well as the profound emotional dimensions that bodywork can reach. By incorporating elements of traditional Eastern practices and the use of modern bodywork modalities such as neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and active isolated stretching, I address the unique needs of your body. I specialize in chronic head & neck pain, including migraines, headaches, and TMJ. I am also well versed in working with clients with Fibromyalgia, those managing acute or chronic pain and injuries, as well as individuals in the pre- and post-operative phases.
Through the unique technique of Ashiatsu, a barefoot massage, I am able to provide a deeper pressure combined with mindful movements to release tension and promote overall health. Ashiatsu is a great modality for promoting muscle recovery from intense activity in addition to being incredibly relaxing to the nervous system.
I believe in the transformative power of touch and am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where clients can unwind and rejuvenate. My intention is to provide potent, present care that will ease discomfort, increase mobility, and uplift the spirit.
