Update: I have good news for you my dear clients and friends, after taking some time to process the loss of my life partner to cancer, I will be re-opening for bookings with appointments available or or after 6/1/2026.
In addition, there will be a change to my booking policies regarding Trillium OHP clients. While I'm happy to report that I will be accepting Trillium OHP MEDICAID insurance, I'm going to be limiting these appointments to 1 hour sessions, unless your situation clearly requires a 90 minute manual therapy session. If you feel that you fall into the category of needing 90 minute sessions due to your specific issues, please contact me as I'll be evaluating such requests on a case by case basis. We may require a doctor's referral to make sure Trillium will cover these sessions. In addition, I ask that Trillium OHP clients book a maximum of one session per calendar week, so that I may serve the maximum amount of clients. Again, if you believe your situation requires more frequent or longer sessions, reach out to me and I'll evaluate on a case by case basis. You can reach me by text/call at 541.953.2813. Thanks for understanding, and I look forward to continuing to work with all of you wonderful OHP insurance clients.
Non-OHP insurance clients may continue to book 90 and 120 minute sessions as before.

I won't ever forget
This is not meant to create fear,
but awareness.
In Buddhism, this truth is called anicca—impermanence.
Nothing stays.
Not our struggles…
not our successes…
not even the people we hold closest.
And when you truly understand this,
something shifts within you.
You become softer.
More patient.
Less attached to control,
and more present with what is.
You stop taking things for granted—
because you see how fragile everything really is.
You speak kinder words.
You hold people a little closer.
You waste less time on ego, anger, and pride.
Because deep down, you know—
everything can change in a single breath.
So stay humble.
Be grateful for ordinary moments.
And don’t postpone love, forgiveness, or peace.
Because nothing is permanent…
and that is exactly why everything matters.

Dearest clients and friends,
My massage practice is temporarily closed while I absorb and grieve the loss of my partner in life and love. I will let everyone know when I'm able to return to work. Thank you all for your trust and patience with me. I look forward to being back when I'm able to focus again, and able to deliver the quality massages you expect and deserve. Until then, be well, take care of your beautiful selves and each other.
If you feel the call to help, please donate to help me get through this very hard time.

Hi and happy Spring to you all!
Today, I have a favor to ask...
I'm trying to grow my business reputation by getting more Google reviews from my clients. Fact: I have over 100 MassageBook reviews, but only 17 on Google 😢.
If you had a session with me and you benefitted, please consider leaving me a Google Review. If you've already done that, thanks a million! If you left me a review on my website, or MassageBook, please consider leaving another on Google.
You can use the QR code below to go straight to it, or just look up "Massage By Soma" on Google Business.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate each and every one of you.
See ya on the table!
