I specialize in Fascial Counterstrain, and provide other services including deep tissue massage, cupping techniques and taping. In my work, I help people with chronic pain, acute pain, their pre and post surgical needs, and sports medicine. I enjoy working with people of all ages— with the youngest being a 2 week old infant and the oldest being 86 years old. 

I grew up in Boring, Oregon, attended Clackamas High School, and graduated from college with my Physical therapy Assistant degree. I have worked as a PTA for over 20 years. Over 12 years ago I worked in clinic partnership where I developed the love for Counterstrain and working one on one with patients. Through this experience I got to learn the business side of a clinic. In early 2021 I completed the massage therapy exam and received my massage therapy license and worked under both licenses. I now only use my massage license and work independently. 

I currently live in Oregon City with my husband of over 20 years, 2 busy teenagers and dogs. When I’m not working I am active with my kids sports, camping, crafting and gardening.

Devon has been a licensed massage therapist since 2004. Prior to discovering Counterstrain in 2021, she spent the majority of her career focused on deep tissue, structural integration, and neuromuscular therapy.

She studied acupuncture & Chinese Medicine in Australia from 2008-2010, attended the Rolf Institute for Structural Integration in 2013, and taught dance, yoga & movement classes at her own studio from 2010-2020. She is passionate about helping people live with vibrancy, health and freedom from pain, whether physical, psychological or emotional. Her experience with Counterstrain changed her life and she hopes to bring the same level of transformation and healing to her clients. She is thrilled for the opportunity to partner with Melissa, who has served as a mentor and a guide through the complex world of Fascial Counterstrain since her very first class back in 2022.
