I am passionate about the healing arts and their capacity to facilitate healing within the human body. I have worked hard to build competence in this craft. My experience includes practice at a spa, multiple chiropractic offices, and private contracting with my own business. The clients I have worked with have had a variety of different needs and health histories.
​
I am drawn to the dual benefit of relaxation and therapy within a massage. My goal is to weave these two approaches together, creating a massage that leaves you feeling freer in your body and deeply relaxed.
​
Through my experience receiving massage, I was drawn to deeper work. For that reason, I have pursued learning Ashiatsu massage, where the therapist uses foot pressure to create broad, deep, and relaxing massage strokes. I also have experience in standard Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Swedish Massage, as well as Cupping and Prenatal massage.

Offerings
Ashiatsu
A luxurious deep tissue modality, Ashiatsu is an original Western barefoot technique that uses therapists' feet to apply deep pressure and effleurage strokes that glide over the body to work out myofascial adhesions, trigger points, and general tension.
Emily trained by Deep Feet in Portland in 2021.
Prenatal Massage
The benefits of prenatal massage are profound. Pregnancy can cause huge stress on the body, physically and emotionally. Using techniques safe for pregnancies along with proper positioning, this massage helps provide emotional support, relieve joint pain, improve breathing, and promote relaxation.
​Emily is amazing! I went in for the first time today with some lower back stress and one hour later felt incredible. She took the time to assess what I needed from the massage, was friendly, and created a soothing environment. I will be back! Clean, welcoming, and had a great overall experience here.

Hands on, Emily's the best!
"Before the 3 car collision in Nov on Oregon Hwy. 205 I thought massage therapy was an indulgence only celebrated by the rich and famous.
After the accident, as pain and discomfort led my wife and me to Dan Cote, Silverton's preeminent Chiropractor for analysis, evaluation and procedures, 'massage' was recommended as an appropriate step to the road of recovery.
Over the months that followed, a number of massage therapists applied their skill set, of the many, one stood out, Emily Bowles, the most dedicated, thorough and caring. When the need arises, or just for the feeling of well-being and revitalized energy, ask for Emily."
-Bob Walker, Guide/Teacher, the "Oregon Fishing Club"
I went to the clinic to have my neck worked on. I have had massages for about 30 years fairly regularly an I have to say that Emily is hands down the best therapist I have ever had. She knows what she’s doing. Glad that I found her.
