Sammi will be helping our guests book appointments and feel welcome when they arrive at the spa as well as keeping our spa operations running smoothly!

I bring a wealth of experience and a natural affinity for the art of massage and bodywork.  My knowledge basis of Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, Acupressure, deep tissue massage and more informs the fluid, integrated style I have developed. My intent is to give each person the opportunity to experience the feeling of peace, balance and renewal that is possible when body and mind are relieved of pain and stress.

As a longtime Oregon resident I love everything about Oregon, and hope to explore its beauty from East to West.  My favorite pastimes include gardening, hiking, beachcombing, and I would like to learn kayaking and maybe do some fishing.

Barbara can be booked from our website along with our other team members or directly.

My bodywork journey began at a small school in Port Huron, Mi in 2017. Since then I have blossomed into the passionate massage therapist I am today. I have background in reflexology, Swedish, reiki, myofascial release, deep tissue, and watsu massage. When I am meeting a client, it is important to me to be present and listen. My sessions provide a unique experience tailored to what it is you want to address. I believe in trust and comfort to achieve the best healing you can for your body, mind, and spirit.
Outside of work I enjoy self care to keep myself grounded. These things include, being outdoors, reading, cooking, yoga and meditation, and dancing! I am also an artist and love to explore knew areas of the world.

Originally, I trained in Vancouver Washington, as a 2000 graduate from Ashmead college. That is where I met my first Chinese Medicine Doctor, Stanek Z. He showed me how pressing in certain areas can stimulate deep healing. Over the decades, gratefully, I’ve studied with many renowned teachers such as Ali Longstreth, Christopher Ray, Marty Ryan and Noam Tyler. After attending East West School of Massage for continuing education, I soon found my style of healing, a blend of Traditional Thai work and Swedish techniques.

We focus on healing the entire body, instead of just working the muscles. I strive to maximize your comfort, using a blend of heat, pressure, pillows, positions and technique. My massage is both light and very deep at times, but it should never hurt! Using your breath and my education, we can access areas of stored pain in your body and get rid of it!

With yoga and Kangen water I continue to maintain my personal health in order to deliver the highest professional standards and techniques. I look forward to meeting you.

I’ll use some of my clients’ interpretations of what it is I do, and who I am: “Emily Ann is an experienced, technically skilled, detail oriented, highly intuitive massage therapist. She is present on all levels, a natural healer with a peaceful presence and very knowledgeable in her work.”

I have 30 years massage experience, building my practice on the California Central Coast. In 2024, I moved to Oregon to be closer to my family. Like many, I visited the Oregon Coast, Manzanita, and didn’t want to leave. I knew this is where I wanted to do massage and I’m very excited to be able to do so at Spa Manzanita.

I find the body to be a unique and fascinating precision instrument. It’s sensitive to all the influences that govern our moods, joys and problems. I use a variety of styles in my practice: Reflexology, Swedish, Esalen Massage, Deep Tissue, Structural Integration, Myofascial Release, Energy work (Polarity Therapy)….. I hope I can be of some help in re-tuning the magical machine that is your body.

As a massage therapist with 14 years of experience, I specialize in deep tissue, Swedish, and sports therapy techniques. My approach combines skill and intuition to create customized treatments that help clients feel their best, whether they need relief from pain, improved mobility, or deep relaxation.

 I truly love what I do and find joy in helping people heal and achieve balance in their lives. My intuitive nature allows me to connect with each client, tailoring every session to their unique needs.

 When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll often find me playing volleyball or enjoying quality time with my family. These passions fuel my energy and commitment to living a well-rounded, healthy life—values I bring into my work with every client.

 I look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey.

My unique style integrates training in several Western and Eastern modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue and Trigger Point style massage, Myofascial, Sports and Connective Tissue Release.

Through compassionate and careful listening I address physical and energetic issues, gently ushering your body toward its own natural healing abilities and opening up the potential for deep releasing of all kinds. I strive to make each session on my table meaningful for your life that day, guiding your body toward peace, balance and relaxation.
