Hello my name is Amy K Black. I started An Oasis Massage because I wanted to help people become more comfortable in their everyday life. I worked at a desk for eight years in a high stress environment. I watched friends come and go because the stress was too much. Finally, I came to the realization that I too could not do this anymore. I needed to make a difference in how stress is overwhelming people. I decided to go to massage school. I graduated from Ashmead College with a certificate in massage therapy in June 2006. I am proud to say that I graduated with Honors. While at school I completed an internship at a local chemotherapy clinic. I learned to massage clients while they were receiving their treatment. Also, while in school, I organized a chair massage event with my old employer, I am proud to say that they kept me on to provide chair massage once a week. Now I am fully licensed in the state of Oregon. I have a room inside the Melange Beauty Bar at 1371 NE Village St. I am covered by Hands On insurance group. I enjoy my work everyday. To help people relax and feel rejuvenated again. Massage can help people sleep better and sleep helps regenerate your energy and vigor. I enjoy performing body treatment to keep skin healthy and women looking there best from season to season. I also enjoy providing seated chair massage at events or offices. It is wonderful to see how 15 minutes of relaxation massage will focus people. They truly feel pampered and appreciated. I have also been able to bring comfort to employees with shoulder pain, foot pain, and multiple back pain issues. Some employees have found that chair massage is covered by there FSA plan or there insurance plan. Ask your insurance company. I have also worked with Weaver's Tale Retreat for elders. I provide massage to elders that are wheelchair bound OR are fully mobile. This is a great way to give back to those who have already given so much to our society. The time I spend with this group is always cherished. They always give me so much more then I could ever give to them. I am also trained in Compassionate Touch Level 1. I enjoy working with Dementia and Alzheimer patients. Overall I love my job. I enjoy showing up at appointments everyday and I hope it shows in every massage I perform. Thank you for taking this time to research about me. |
