TESTIMONIALS

“Luke is an incredible bodyworker and healer with a profound sensitivity to each unique body and its needs. I feel safe and comfortable working with him on every level and after recently receiving some deep work with him, I am still relishing from the release of old tension and holding. His attentiveness and listening allow him to and adapt to each moment in a way that is refreshing and has consistently left me feeling impeccably cared for. I plan to return to see Luke many more times in the future and wholeheartedly recommend his services.”

"Luke provided an excellent massage. The combination of his calm, welcoming & nurturant demeanor and his professional expertise made the experience everything I'd hope for in a massage. Some of the words I'd use to describe his style are holistic, fluid, and comprehensive. He provided just the right amount of pressure to help work out the tight & knotted sections of my back, which I was really hoping for. I will definitely be returning to see Luke!"

"I have been receiving massages from Luke for the past 2 years. He is an outstanding massage therapist. Luke provides a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The amount of pressure is perfect and his intuition is outstanding as he always finds the areas which need extra attention. More recently I had been struggling with ankle pain which was limiting my running. However, after his session, my ankle was significantly better and I was back to running. So I highly recommend him for either a relaxing or therapeutic massage."

I have to rate my experience with Luke 10/10. From the initial text to make an appointment to his follow up the next day regarding troublesome areas I've had been experiencing, resulted in the absolute best massage I've ever had.

Luke's studio is a warm and relaxing, lush garden space in the middle of the city. It is full of beautiful, thriving tropical plants. As a plant lover myself I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his green thumb. Lol.

We had a brief conversation upon my arrival to discuss problem areas that he would concentrate on. Which he did using both hands and feet. Luke's use of his feet felt like 4 hands on my problem areas. It was amazing how his use of his body weight and gravity combined to apply the perfect amount of pressure. The entire session Luke's energy was so calming that I felt so completely relaxed.

I immediately set up another session with Luke and am so looking forward to returning onaregularbasis. Self-care has become a very important part of my mental health in the past few months and I feel blessed to have found such a professional, caring provider!

Stop searching and book your appointment now. I cannot reccomend Luke more highly!

I was visiting PDX for a few days and really needed to destress. I found Luke's site from a Google search and was impressed with all of the five star reviews. After visiting, now I know why - Luke cares about his customers and really listens to what is their concerns. He also took into consideration previous injuries. It was my first experience with ashiatsu massage ("standing" on the back), and it was very nice. I would highly recommend Bodywork to anyone looking for a caring, observant, and welcoming massage experience.

Luke is an amazing massage therapist. I was in pain from the top of my neck to the bottom of my feet after a week of moving heavy furniture and deep cleaning an apartment. His technique is very focused and after not being able to move my neck from left to right, I left his table feeling refreshed and able to comfortably move. His studio is clean, the music is peaceful and the scents are pleasant and relaxing. I will for sure be visiting him regularly. Thank you Luke for making me feel so much better.

So much solace and release in this touch! Luke creates such a welcoming atmosphere in the space, his work is deep and yet gentle and aware and the impact of dance on the way the work flows…. This is exactly the place for rest and releasing tension. One of my favorite people for bodywork in this city.

-Valorie

Luke is such an intuitive and connected body worker with a diverse set of skills in his tool belt. He actually listens to needs in the beginning conversation and skillfully blends addressing those needs into an organic flow in the massage. If you’re looking for a reliable and amazingly talented body worker, look no further!

I thoroughly enjoyed my massage from Luke this past weekend. His communication was excellent, his space was super clean and comfortable, and he was professional. He took the time to understand my needs, jotting down notes as we chatted before the session. It wasn't for show either; everything we discussed he remembered and followed through with during my session. Most impressive though is the artistry he applies. Like others have mentioned, he's rhythmic in his movements and this sounds strange but it was almost like a dance. It was unique, creative and ultimately so therapeutic for me. I can't wait to come back. Thanks Luke!

-Quinn

Luke carefully wrote down what I was looking for in my first session then proceeded to deliver 90 minutes that exceeded all expectations. I was curious to see how I would respond to the Ashiatsu pieces of the bodywork and have to say it was awesome. Luke's style immediately put me in a relaxed state and his flow from style to places he is working on is artistically orchestrated. His dance and yoga background obviously helped create a wonderful experience. Thank you Luke!

-Steve

Luke is definitely one the best massage therapist that I’ve met with. His studio is very warm and inviting and is centrally located with plenty of street parking. The minute I walked in I felt immediately comfortable and at ease. He talked with me and asked questions to find out areas that had been bothering me and went over what to expect. I was blown away by the technique that he uses. The tension in my shoulders feels so much better and I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. I can’t recommend him enough.

-Mico

Luke is an incredibly skilled practitioner. I felt so comfortable in his place thanks to his disarming and deeply grounding presence. The bodywork was precisely delivered and therapeutic. He has expert draping skills and was able to listen to my body's needs and matched my requested level of pressure throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend working with Luke for all of your body work needs.
