About Me

Hi! I'm Vanessa, a licensed massage therapist in McMinnville, Oregon. I've been helping clients find relief and renewed mobility for over two decades. What sets my practice apart is an unwavering commitment to personalized care - every session is carefully tailored to your unique needs and comfort level. This dedication to excellence has allowed me to build lasting relationships with clients and establish myself as a trusted practitioner in our wellness community. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing daily stress, or seeking preventative care, I'm here to help you move through life with greater ease and less pain.

What my clients value most is the completely personalized experience I create for each person who comes to my table. I know your body has its own unique story - whether it's tension from old injuries, stress patterns, or the demands of daily life. That's why I carefully design every session around your specific needs, comfort level, and wellness aspirations. This commitment to customized care has allowed me to build deep, trusting relationships with clients who return year after year.  

My greatest professional joy comes from helping people rediscover what it feels like to move through life without pain. Whether you're rehabilitating an injury, managing chronic discomfort, or simply investing in your wellbeing, I'll work with you to create a treatment plan that delivers real results.

That transformative moment when a client leaves my studio standing taller, moving easier, and glowing with relief - that's why I do this work. These breakthroughs, both big and small, are what make my practice so deeply rewarding.

 

I’ve known Vanessa for more years than I can believe when I stop to think of it. So this is a personal statement as much as professional.  She is just over the top capable, knowledgeable, committed and caring. In all she does.  And she does a whole lot.  Her massage capabilities are as top notch as the rest!  Stan Mullinnix
