Cocoon Massage is a little haven tucked away in the heart of Portland’s Montavilla neighborhood. In our cozy office, you’ll experience the finest massage therapy in Portland, always tailored to your needs and comfort.

We provide both clinical care and calming relaxation massage to help you stay healthy, balanced, and embodied. No matter the reason for your visit, you can rest assured that we will treat you as a whole person rather than a series of symptoms to be “fixed.”

Our independent massage therapists are highly trained bodywork professionals with years of experience and the innate gift of “healing hands.”

We don’t give cookie-cutter massages: instead, we take the time to listen and understand your unique needs, preferences, and goals. We recommend you read about each therapist to find the approach and style of massage that best suits your needs.

Many of our clients first come to us because they are in pain, but they keep coming back because regular massage makes life better. It decreases pain and stress levels, promotes circulation, restores balance, and fills up your “self-care cup” — so that you can be your best self and feel more present, active, and fulfilled in the areas of your life that matter most.

At Cocoon, we’re here to help you feel better. Meet our therapists and find your perfect fit, or book now if you’re ready to set up your massage. We'll see you soon!

Coming from a background where massage was used to treat pain, it was LIFE-CHANGING to go to Emily. She knew exactly (without me saying anything!) where to put pressure, where to go lightly, and how to make me melt in bliss into the table. I have never experienced anything better. Please, please do yourself a favor and just book one appointment. You won't regret it!

Cocoon is a good option if you're looking for a longer focused session. Atmosphere is calm and quiet (no street noise) with low-key lighting. While I've only booked one session with Cocoon, I'd happily book again. Great to have this in Montavilla!

– John


I loved ALL of it! Carisa is so intuitive and focused. The music and natural waves for sound were lovely. The dark chocolate was a thoughtful touch. I loved the oils. I felt so good after my massage that I was able to go to Vinyasa yoga. I feel really good about connecting with such a capable body worker and have already booked my next appt for a longer session!

I always leave better (physically and spiritually) than I came in, without fail. Low-key, simple setup, and just enough cozy let you relax completely. No pretense, just a great experience.

I walked in with a doctor-diagnosed frozen shoulder and left with near-full range of motion. For injury treatment, no technique rivals lymphatic massage. And Emily is a master practitioner of that as well as many other healing techniques. Injured in a fender bender, I first went to Emily a year ago and saw her up to twice per week for several months. After healing — without scar tissue! — I continued seeing her twice per month for the sheer pleasure of it. I recommend Emily's services without reservation.

Emily is great! I was a massage therapist for ten years before becoming a nurse, so when it comes to massage, I'll be honest — I'm picky. Emily is intuitive with her touch, welcoming in her demeanor, and I always leave feeling relaxed and wonderful.
