About Us

Jared Oliver  Licensed Massage Therapist #20494

I became a Massage Therapist because I enjoy working with my hands and helping people feel better. Soon after starting massage school I found my aptitude and passion for deep tissue and trigger point. I use those and other various bodywork techniques that focus on releasing muscle tension, which can help improve posture, increase range of motion, and relieve pain. 

I grew up in Maine and enjoyed my childhood there, but thrived for more adventure, so in 2007 I moved to Colorado with my brother. It was tough being a Patriots fan there, but we made it work. After a few years of customer service jobs I was gifted my first massage. I noticed how much better I felt and thought, "I can help people with massage."

That's when I made the decision to enroll in massage school. It was a long year of night classes and weekend clinics, but in March 2014 I graduated from the Denver School of Massage Therapy. Then I was off to Oregon to pursue my career, start a family, and root for the Patriots in this beautiful coastal state.

Marisa Oliver  Licensed Massage Therapist #21800

As a bodyworker I love that my job is to help people feel good, be healthy, and live in balance -- body, mind, and spirit. I strive to provide each client with a comfortable & therapeutic experience that's uniquely tailored to help them achieve their personal wellness goals. I use deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release, and other massage techniques to relieve pain and promote healing within the body.

Born and raised in Kansas, I received my Associate's degree in English from Wichita State University before moving to luscious Oregon in 2010. I worked a small assortment of various jobs before finding my passion for the Healing Arts at East West College, where I received an in-depth and well-rounded education in massage and bodywork.

I became a Licensed Massage Therapist in November 2015 and started my career at Massage Envy, where Jared and I met. We now live in Woodburn with our energetic & fun-loving son. Our family loves to travel and play games of all kinds; we can often be spotted in the community enjoying local events and spending time in nature.
