Satya – Somatic Bodywork & Skincare

Satya has a calming and tranquil vibe that makes you feel relaxed the moment you open their door. Susanne made me feel so welcome and her skills are amazing, I am so happy I’ve found her. I left the spa feeling great and am exited to become a regular customer. I would highly recommend Susanne and Satya for all of your pampering and relaxation needs!

Note I did not get a massage, so he may be the most amazing massage therapist ever but I didn’t get that far so can’t review that.
Came highly recommended by a friend of a friend. I went online and amazingly there was an appointment available that same evening. Maybe that should have been my clue. I booked my appt online. At the appropriate time headed out for the visit, but encountered sad difficulty with my GPS. So yes, my bad. I called to let him know I was running a bit late and then came a long and super frustrating conversation in which he repeated several things over and over as if I hadn’t heard or understood him, and yet also seemed not to hear or understand what I was saying (for example, kept trying to give me some thoughts on directions even after I had multiple times said I didn’t need his help finding the place, and when his directions also showed that he had no idea where I was or how it made sense to get from there to his office). Five minutes of talking to this guy made me 100% clear I wouldn’t want to meet him or get massaged by him so I declined his offer to reschedule later in the evening (it took 2 – 3 times for me to say this for him to actually hear me, he kept talking about how much time it took to clean up after a visit and how much time a proper intake would take). So sad, he had been so highly recommended, and I really wanted a massage, but I’ll be looking elsewhere.

Looking for a way to treat yourself? Book a facial with Susanne immediately. You deserve it, and won’t regret it for a moment.
She offers facials, waxing, organic airbrush tanning, gentle peels and LED light therapy. She also sells some amazing organic skin care products (Coola moisturizer with SPF, Evan Healy) so you can continue to take care of your radiant skin in between visits.
I feel so lucky to have found Satya and Susanne. Every time that I visit I walk out feeling relaxed and refreshed from an amazing visit to my skin guru. Susanne is the best in the business and I am always grateful for the healing time and energy that she shares with me at each one of my visits.

I love going into see Susanne at Satya. She takes care of all my waxing needs. I got a facial from her today and it was awesome. Thanks again, babe!

A massage with Nick is the real deal. I’ve never had a massage as incredible as the one I had with him. His mix of massage, stretching, and breathing is really transformative. I left feeling like I could both melt into the ground and fly away. If you’re looking for a massage in Portland, look no further!

Something incredible happened to me today. Like, life changing. I had my first Traditional Thai Massage with Nicholas. I’ve been getting amazing Table Fusion massages from him for a while now, and he suggested trying out Thai. I was a little skeptical, but Nicholas knows his stuff and I trust his recommendations. And, boy oh boy, am I glad I did. I feel so good right now. I booked my next appointment the second I left! Treat yo’ self!

Let me just say, that after a long and tedious search, I have found my massage therapist.
Jen La Roche is hands down a magician. Her care and understanding of the body is superlative. Her technique is masterful. Her deep tissue work is out of this world. I always leave feeling completely rejuvenated! I’ve been seeing her for a year and a half now and have no intentions of looking any further. I am so thankful to have found her. She helps me endure my very physically taxing job and I cannot imagine life without her.
I must add that I have also seen Nick Sterrett for Thai Massages and he is also totally fantastic! If you have never experienced a Thai Massage, please try it! Especially from him, as he is highly skilled. It is an experience you’ll never forget. Feeling truly relaxed and yet energized all at the same time.
Also, the space is very warm and welcoming and has a really relaxing vibe about it. Highly highly recommended!

I get combo– massages from Nicholas, whom I followed over from another place. He is pretty much amazing. He is really great at intense, healing, massages which make a difference in my over all health (I have neck/​shoulder issues which can contribute to my migraines). And I appreciate that he gives me take home exercises.

I am a camp follower of Susanne from her days at Willamina and I can’t say enough of how much I love her facial treatments. All of the cleansers, hydrators and masks she uses are made of completely natural organic ingredients. The facial you receive changes with the seasons and are based how your skin is looking and your mood. Susanne always ask me if there are any special issues I have been having with my skin and if there are any areas I am concerned about before beginning my treatment. But wait, this is not just about cleansing and hydrating, what is really awesome is the facial massage and acupressure that goes along with it. Susanne has the hands of someone truly dedicated to making your experience relaxing and refreshing. Please note: This is in a working loft building and you need to make an appointment first.

Ultimately welcoming and peaceful. The tiny little escape nuzzled unexpectedly just off MLK is a perfect massage retreat. Nick perfectly balances intense body work to help repair the damage that paddling does to my body with meditative and relaxing massage leaving you with an amazing inner calm. Their little retreat is sparse and clean, filled with natural light and the sound of water falling from the fountain. The only complaint is that it is a bit cold, the space heater in the loft unable to completely take the chill off. I have not met the other two ladies working in the space, but will be back to see Nick whenever the finances allow such a perfect splurge.
