Revitalizing Touch by Luke

I have had about a dozen massages from Luke, who I think is an outstanding LMT. He's strong, with great technical skills in his hands and also his feet. For me, though, it's Luke's empathy and caring heart that make the experience special. I'm glad I found him, and I'm glad to give him a strong recommendation.

My massage with Luke was life changing. He put me at ease, creating a relaxing and healing environment. His technique was the perfect mix of strength and softness. I will definitely be back.

I’ve been receiving massage for over 35 years and I’ve experienced some truly great therapists during that time. Luke is definitely in that group with his remarkable spirit and professional skill, accentuated by his years as a dancer, that make his Ashiatsu the absolute best. In addition to his skill as an LMT, what struck me most positively was his genuine desire to connect with me as a client both pre and post session to ensure I received the most beneficial session possible. I will definitely return to Luke’s calming studio and beautiful, healing energy whenever I’m back in Portland.

“Luke brings the best of technique and heart into massage. His sense of dance yields a work that is truly healing. “

I’ve been searching for a new massage therapist for quite a while, and after a great massage from Luke today, I think I found my new guy. I am impressed with Luke both professionally and personally. He is skilled, knowledgeable, and strong. He took the time to find out what was happening with my body before starting so he could personalize the massage to my particular wants/needs. His touch is warm, compassionate, and intuitive.

Personally, he is gentle, kind, and takes a holistic, integrated approach to body work.

He used his feet, Ashiatsu massage, for part of it, which was my first experience with this kind of massage. It was effective and felt great. I felt like I was well taken care of and I look forward to my next session with him.

If you are looking for a wonderful massage from a skilled therapist who is a genuinely nice guy, give Luke a call.

Luke’s bodywork is the physical feeling of yin and yang. From the moment I stepped into the presence of his work space I felt I could expand the expressions living inside my body and mind. Luke is an artist that understands how to tell a story through many mediums and it is easy to feel the respect he has for the body as a canvas. The session began and I immediately felt held. A sort of gentle whirlwind and spark of fire guided by his touch. I felt more rejuvenated than I normally do after massage. I was very awake with a sense of restored flow. His work has a special movement to it, perhaps it’s the dancer in Luke. The way he works with your energy on the table very much inspires the dance in me, to remember the possibilities of what our body can do and explore that. I am so thankful to have met Luke. His poetic, sensitive and wise soul is medicine for humanity.

If finding a good massage therapist seems
like a daunting task, finding a great
one can feel nearly impossible.
Luckily, if you've come this far your
search is over. Luke embodies both
the intuitive understanding of the
causes of stress and the nurturing
instincts to unravel it. Through his
practice, he has created space for
both physical restoration and also
the emotional vulnerability that
sometimes comes with it. He has
the hands, heart and soul of a
healer. I encourage anyone
considering making an appointment
with him to take the leap; you'll be
glad you did.

Luke is attentive, strong, intuitive and compassionate. Additionally, he is a good listener who can adapt his technique to your needs. His kindness and concern can be felt in the massage. Using a combination of modalities, he was able to bring me some relief from some chronic pain I’ve been experiencing. His studio is pleasant and calming with natural light and a collection of gorgeous plants. Overall, an outstanding experience. I highly recommend him!

Luke is an incredible bodyworker and healer with a profound sensitivity to each unique body and it's needs. I feel safe and comfortable working with him on every level and after recently receiving some deep work with him, I am still relishing from the release of old tension and holdings. His attentiveness and listening allows him to adapt to each moment in a way that is refreshing and has consistently left me feeling impeccably cared for. I plan to return to him many more times in the future and whole heartedly recommend his services.

I have been receiving massages from Luke for the past 2 years. He is an outstanding massage therapist. Luke provides a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The amount of pressure if perfect, and his intuition is outstanding as he always finds the areas which need extra attention. More recently, I had been struggling with right ankle pain which was limiting my running. However, after his session, my ankle was significantly better, and I was back to running. So, I highly recommend him for either a therapeutic or relaxing massage.

I had my first massage appointment with Luke because of muscle spasms that I was having under one shoulder blade. But I also wanted a general overall massage. Luke was very welcoming and friendly. He took a little time to get to know me and what I was looking for before he started the massage. His techniques are amazing and he is very intuitive. Best massage ever! And the spasm has ceased. I highly recommend Luke to anyone and I will definitely make another appointment with him.

Luke is a friendly welcoming guy with a great attitude-I felt comfortable immediately. He is strong and delivers the massage with beautiful fluid motions-his dance background is evident. Looking forward to my next visit!

Luke responded to my text quickly and was able to fit me in the same evening. He has a great, quiet place and he made me feel comfortable. He has great hands and I felt great the entire massage. There's something about his touch that makes you feel special. I'll definitely be back.

A massage with Luke is highly recommended. His location is easy to find, the room was great, and the music he played was very calming. He clearly knows the body and was able to give me stretching recommendations as well. I will definitely see him again.

Luke provided an excellent massage. The combination of his calm, welcoming & nurturant demeanor and his professional expertise made the experience everything I'd hope for in a massage. Some of the words I'd use to describe his style are holistic, fluid, and comprehensive. He provided just the right amount of pressure to help work out the tight & knotted sections of my back, which I was really hoping for. I will definitely be returning to see Luke!
