Meet Rachael: Esthetician & Massage Therapist in Southwest Portland
How I Got Here
My journey in the wellness world began in 2008, when I became a Licensed Massage Therapist. I opened my own practice in 2017, but a few years later, a car accident injured my wrists and changed the way I was able to work.
I knew that continuing with a full schedule of traditional massage was no longer sustainable for my body. I had already earned my esthetics license; so I began shifting my focus toward facials. What started as a necessary change quickly became a true passion and a new way to bring together everything I loved about skincare, massage, and caring for others.
Today, massage is once again part of my practice, but in a more thoughtful and intentional way. I offer restorative massage on its own, weave skilled touch throughout my facials, and combine facial and bodywork for clients who want a deeply nurturing experience from head to toe.
My path hasn’t been perfectly linear, but it has shaped the way I care for each person who enters my studio: slowly, personally, and with respect for what both the skin and body need.
My Approach
My 18 years of experience as a Licensed Massage Therapist influence every service I offer. Whether you’re here for a facial, massage, or a combination of both, your treatment is intentionally hands-on and designed to support your nervous system as well as your visible results.
My facials blend customized skincare, advanced skin therapies, and skilled massage to support healthy, radiant skin while helping your entire body slow down. My massage sessions offer a quiet place to release tension, settle your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself.
I believe care should never feel rushed, impersonal, or one-size-fits-all. When you visit The Facial Room, you’ll always be cared for by me. Over time, I get to know your skin, your body, your preferences, and the little details that help you feel most comfortable. Every session is thoughtfully adapted to what you need that day.
A Moment for You
You spend so much of your time caring for your work, your loved ones, and the never-ending list of things asking for your attention. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together. This is your place to soften, receive, and let someone else care for you.
Whether you visit for ongoing skincare, restorative massage, a seasonal refresh, or simply a moment when you need to come back to yourself, you’ll be welcomed with warmth and without judgment.
This work isn’t only about how you look. It’s about feeling comfortable in your skin, more at ease in your body, and a little more connected to yourself.
Come as you are. Leave feeling restored.
