Willow Hall

(she/her)

Licensed Massage Therapist

Willow is a dedicated and proficient practitioner with over 30 years of experience in the field of massage therapy and energy medicine. Her practice is rooted in unconditional positive regard for all individuals and bodies, with a particular focus on providing inclusive and informed care for LGBTQIA2S+, trans, fat, and neurodivergent individuals. Her work skillfully weaves clinical and intuitive approaches and is guided by the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for in a way that acknowledges and respects their unique experiences and identities.

She is committed to creating a safer and welcoming space for all clients, and her approach to care is informed by an ever-evolving understanding of trauma and its impacts on the body and mind. 

Willow is a licensed massage therapist, a Reiki master, a certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist, and a soon to be licensed psilocybin facilitator. Her approach is comprehensive and tailored to the individual needs of her clients.

Her wide range of skills and experiences allow her to offer a unique blend of functional, medical, and subtle energy approaches in her sessions. The pressure and pace of her sessions can vary greatly, from light and gentle to deep and vigorous, depending on the client’s needs and preferences. This adaptability, combined with her extensive training and experience, makes Willow a versatile practitioner in the field of holistic therapies. 

Willow’s massage therapy practice began in Guam in 1991, where she apprenticed at a European day spa and trained in Touch for Health and Therapeutic Touch through the University of Guam.

In 1993, she moved to Oregon and attended East-West College of the Healing Arts. Her 1019-hour training program focused on sports massage, medical massage, and Transformational Hypnotherapy. Her externship was at the OHSU oncology ward, providing palliative massage to patients with cancer, their loved ones, and the medical staff.

With a wealth of experience and a lifelong commitment to learning, community, and growth, Willow is proud to offer a practice that is not only informed but also compassionate, respectful, collaborative, and inclusive.

Tasha Searles

(she/they)

advanced practice nurse

Tasha Searles, APRN, AGCNS-BC is a Queer, Autistic, ADHDer with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome + some other commonly co-occurring conditions. Originally from Indiana, they now reside in Portland, Oregon with their two rambunctious cats. Tasha enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, learning, and finding new ways to be creative.

 

Professionally, Tasha is trained as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (a type of advanced practice nurse, similar to a Nurse Practitioner), and has been a nurse for over a decade —mostly working with individuals impacted by chronic or complex health conditions. They started in diabetes care and became a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, so much of their work has been related to diabetes and nutrition. They also spent many years as a Nurse Navigator helping clients navigate the healthcare system. Their personal health journey, and realization of the huge gaps in available care, led them to shift their professional practice to serve others on similar journeys as their own.

 

Tasha has been told she’s inquisitive and “a very good detective”. Being curious, digging deep, and thinking outside of the box (all while keeping the whole picture in mind) are really her favorite things in this life. Tasha’s style in working with patients is as a consultant & coach. She believes you are the expert in your own self and aims to empower you, provide hope, and help you to use your own innate wisdom to live your best life!

 

Tasha’s goal is to create a safer space for all to receive appropriate healthcare that is affirming & accommodating of individual needs; a space that encourages exploration and self-determination of what wellness & thriving mean in your individual life. They practice from a trauma informed perspective that is neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, disability, & HAES affirming. Tasha is able to order diagnostic tests and prescribe medications, but also works with clients on nervous system safety, nutrition, hydration, gut health, musculoskeletal health & movement, sleep, mental & emotional health, stress management, creating a life they love, finding joy, & more.

 

Tasha is available for telehealth consultations for Oregon Health Plan members and is accepting new patients ages 16 & up. Because all visits are conducted virtually, Tasha does not serve as a Primary Care Provider (PCP).
