I was there on 12/20/24 for my first massage due to back pain. It was excellent. The massage relieved me and relaxed me a lot. I recommend it 100%

Amazing massages. Emily is wonderful and knows how to find all the trouble spots and work them out. Go for the 90 min massage, you won’t regret it!

Emily has magic hands! My back was totally messed up from working at a construction job and I thought I was going to be out of work for days. Emily was able to squeeze me in the next day for an emergency visit and within an hour had completely fixed my back pain. I followed her instructions and relaxed the rest of the day, the next morning I went back to work and felt good as new. I 100% recommend visiting Birch Grove if you are looking for someone to help you with back pain!

Emily is amazing and great to talk to! It’s also so nice to meet an Emily that gives us Emily’s a good name! Her massages are off the chart, and she’s strong af. Also, her plant pets and actual pets are superb.

Emily is amazing! She has an excellent energy and is a very earthy soul. She was able to really pinpoint what was causing my pain and really focus in on that. Emily totally understood what I meant when trying to explain what I was feeling. I never expected someone to know what “Rice Krispies” meant and she totally did. Thank you Emily ❤️

I loved the atmosphere and it was very clean. Emily was really professional and I felt she was very knowledgeable and intuitive about my aches/pains and where I needed more work done. She focused a lot on my neck/shoulders, and I didn't realize I had tension elsewhere until she got to my legs. I don't live in Portland but if I did I'd be stopping by again.

I’ll start with a big THANK YOU !!! My expectations were far exceeded. I’ve been getting massages for both chronic medical injuries and also just relaxation for well over a decade…it’s been 3 years since I moved to Oregon and TODAY I found my new FAVORITE massage therapist 🙌 today’s appointment was to focus on some significant pain issues…typically IN THE PAST/other places, when I’m in this much pain the massages are pretty much just down to business and not really enjoyable…I don’t know how Emily did it but my pain issues were handled AND I was also able to relax. again FAR EXCEEDED any expectations! Thank you again! All around GREAT EXPERIENCE! I look forward to more sessions with you in my self care journey!

My husband and I had back-to-back 90-min massages with Emily and they were both wonderful! My tense shoulders now feel relaxed and loose. She expertly worked out the knots in my sore muscles with her very strong, capable hands. Her space is charming, full of life with beautiful plants and her cute dog and cat. It felt warm and homey. We will definitely be back!

One of the best massages I got!

A wonderful, welcoming environment, peaceful atmosphere and skilled hands. Emily is a delightful human and I left Birch Grove Massage more relaxed than I have been in years. Very reasonable rates. I highly recommend them.

Amazing!!!

Feb 05, 2023

Best massage ever! Emily has actual magic in her hands. She worked some miracles on my sore-getting-back-into-shape body!

Feb 05, 2023

Booked an appointment while we were visiting Portland and it was amazing. Everything about the experience was relaxing and I felt great after. I'd definitively come again next time I'm in town

Emily is amazing. I hobbled in with a sciatic flare, that had put me in the ER the week before, and she helped me walk again. I never really cared for massages, but I think it was just the masseuse that was the issue! Emily checked in on my pressure preference at different stages of the massage which was incredibly comforting even though it seemed like she knew exactly how much pressure I could handle/want. She asked questions, while I was filling out paperwork, that I really think helped gauge what kind of treatment I would need and respond best to. She's a great listener and remembers her clients. I know this because I just had another visit. Yes, two within a week and a half! She remembered little things that I wouldn't have expected anyone to remember. This visit was to work on other parts of my body that we didn't get a chance to work on last time. I have referred everyone I know to come see Emily, even family from out of state. lol Her studio is perfectly decorated with living plants and adorable furniture. Different temperature water and tea is also available to the clients as well. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet Watson. He's a very good dog that is incredibly well behaved.. and so very cute. See photo!

Emily is excellent 🤠👍. Come in, feel better!

Feb 05, 2023

Emily was so great! The massage was very enjoyable and she very quickly made me feel comfortable. She really listens to what you want and then advises on what you need once she starts the massage and dives into getting the knots out. I will definitely be back! Love that this is a safe space for all people!

Emily's intuitive, healing massages are ethereal. She's helped me so much on my healing journey with my muscle pain, physical and emotional trauma, and has been an amazing addition to my treatment plan for my recent Scoliosis diagnosis. I highly recommend Birch Grove and I'm very grateful!

Feb 05, 2023

Fantastic experience. Emily is a wonderful massage therapist who really knows what she's doing. I felt like a million bucks afterwards. Very relaxing massage and environment. I will be coming back for sure. PS- Make sure you turn at the light on SW Canyon Ln, as there is not an entrance off of Canyon Rd.

Feb 05, 2023

Great experience. It was easy to book online, and she really focused on the injured area so I felt like the time was used well. I felt so much better afterwards! I even got to hang out with some animals beforehand <3

I am just so grateful that I have met you you are absolutely my soul sister! You are not just a massage therapist with lots of knowledge and beautiful deep tissue hands and healing hands you are the most amazing human being I have ever met!! I’ve been getting massage over the last 10 years and I have never came across someone like you who understands the body. You are absolutely the most amazing massage therapist I am your client forever and if you’re looking for someone that can kill you in every possible way she’s your person

I had a wonderful prenatal massage with Emily! I definitely recommend her.

Feb 05, 2023

Perfect place for a massage! Emily is a great person and awesome professional! Im happy this place is so close to my house and I will definitely book again.

As someone who receives massages on a semi-regular basis, this was the best all-around massage experience I've had. At the start of the appointment, Emily sat down with me to assess my expectations and preferences. I appreciated her open communication and passion for the profession. The massage was exactly what I needed and I left feeling fresh & rejuvenated. I highly recommend Birch Grove and will be a returning customer from now on.

Emily is a gifted healer as well as massage therapist. I went in for a massage, but the energy work that I received was truly transformational. She helped me realize (without saying a word) which of my chakras was out of balance and needing attention. I will also say that I’ve had pain in my feet for the last six months due to a new job. After my session, they did not hurt any more and she gave me some tips on what I can do at home to help maintain them. She also has tremendous anatomical knowledge which allows her to work problem areas in unexpected ways. Highly recommend!

Feb 05, 2022

Emily is always so great and kind and I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for always being so kind!

Feb 05, 2022

Emily is intuitive, warm, and made sure that I was comfortable the entire time. As a trans person I felt seen and held, and the massage itself was so relaxing and helped me release a lot of physical and emotional tension I didn’t know I was holding. Highly recommend to anyone looking to feel refreshed and grounded!

Feb 05, 2022

Emily is such an intuitive, kind massage therapist. She always listens to what you and your body is saying it needs. She will always be my go to when I'm in Portland.

Feb 05, 2022

Emily is the best. Such a sweet person and definitely knows what she's doing. I especially love that it's more of a small business feel. Go support her, because she is well worth 5 stars!!!

Feb 05, 2022

Highly recommend Emily for a massage and chakra healing. Professional, intuitive, and seeks to make your experience individualized so that you leave feeling renewed and balanced. She’s a gifted healer. I feel aligned and restored after each visit.

Feb 05, 2022

I got a therapeutic full body massage for an hour and it was so amazing and relaxing. First she makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable, you get options on lotions, always making sure pressure wasn’t too much when working on tight spots. But overall amazing and I can’t wait to come back.

I have chronic lower back problems that I just ignore because what’s the point, it’s never going to get better, right? Apparently I’m wrong. I told Emily about my pain and she was quick to tell me the benefits of massage and how it WOULD make a difference. I won’t lie, I didn’t give it much hope but I do enjoy relaxation so I didn’t see the downside to trying. I have fibromyalgia so I’m very sensitive to deep pressure. It feels like punching bruises and I explained my concerns to her before the massage. She was very open to my concerns and works with clients living with all kinds of pain ailments so I felt like she understood. During the massage, I could tell that she has some very strong hands. But she checked in with me continuously to ensure that it wasn’t too much pressure, and adjusted her pressure when necessary. After the massage was over I was a little sore but the following day I felt less pain, which is a minor miracle. I immediately called a booked another appointment with her. She is so great! One thing I want to mention that I really love about Emily and Birch Grove is that it is a safe space for the queer community. Everyone, queer or not, is welcome. If you or someone you know is working on, struggling with, or even confident in their gender identity Emily provides a great space to express yourself in a really positive way. There is no judgement there. Only kindness, acceptance, compassion and laughter. Can you tell I love this place? Make an appointment. You won’t regret it. Oh, her space is so beautiful and quirky, too. Check it out. ❤️

I have chronically messed up shoulders. Emily was fantastic. Inviting and friendly atmosphere, a great job done. I'll be back
