We're at 5120 SE 28th Ave, tucked into a courtyard on SE 28th near Reed College, between Holgate and Steele.
You won't see us from the street. That's on purpose — it's why it's so quiet in here — but it does mean the first visit takes a little knowing.
Your intake paperwork comes by email before your appointment, so you can fill it out ahead of time if you like.
Your therapist will talk with you before anything begins: how your body feels, your goals for the session, and anything you'd like avoided, such as injuries, hair extensions, or ticklish feet.
If it's a Swedish-style massage using oil, your therapist will prompt you to get on the table and step out of the room while you undress to your level of comfort. Once you're on the table, it's important to be underneath the sheet and blanket, which together are your drape and keep all sensitive areas covered. We follow the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists guidelines for draping.
For clothed sessions, wear something comfortable in a material that isn't too bulky or slippery, so your therapist can work through or over it and you feel at ease in what you've chosen to wear.
If at any time you need more or less pressure, please feel comfortable saying so. Your massage therapist wants you to be comfortable on the table.
There are no steps into Garden House. A small ramp bridges the original 1920s doorstep. All treatment rooms are on the ground floor and the bathroom is wheelchair accessible.
If there's something you need in order to be comfortable here, tell us and we'll arrange it. That includes working without any scent at all, using a different oil or lotion, adjusting the pace or the lighting, or anything else.
Open 9am to 8pm, seven days a week.
While we don't accept walk-ins, we do accept same-day appointments when our schedule has availability. If you have a strong preference for a particular LMT, day or time, it can help to book ahead. We love to accommodate same-day appointments, so check our schedule online or give us a call during business hours to see what is available.
