Steffanie Skillman
Massage Therapist
I’ve always had a deep love for the sciences—especially human anatomy, microbiology, and psychology—which naturally led me to a more holistic approach to healing. After years of witnessing the limitations of Western medicine in addressing chronic conditions, I found my calling in massage therapy as a path to support the body’s own wisdom and recovery.
I believe massage isn’t about “fixing” people—it’s about engaging the nervous system to help the body heal itself. I’m passionate about working with people of all ages, especially kids, and about normalizing safe, consent-based, non-sexual touch. It’s something our world truly needs more of.
Massage is for every body, and I’m honored to be part of my clients’ wellness journeys.
When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll find me gardening, reading, singing, dancing, or cooking—and soaking in the joy of watching my two teens grow into incredible young adults.

Jackson has been practicing massage therapy since 2019, utilizing multiple styles including swedish massage, myofascial release, and orthopedic massage.

He is focused on making sure every patient feels heard, respected, and safe throughout the entire treatment process. His massage practice is founded on principles of the bio-psycho-social model, bioethics, and trauma-informed care.
In his free time he enjoys reading, stand-up comedy, videogames, and writing. He completed his Bachelors degree in Psychology through Oregon State University, and is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Counseling to become a mental health therapist.
