Janet and her team at Golden Hour have been a pivotal part of my healing for maybe a decade now. I often come home to Portland just to spend time here. The space alone is magic with Janets incredible curatorial eye and attention to detail. All the senses are hit. I feel it the moment I am greeted by Lucy and sit down with their tea. Throughout the week I like to vary between chair treatments with Ocean or Sara (which include THE BEST massage) and a full massage moxa appointment. Also worth a pop in to spend some time in the little shop (which feels like a highly curated general store) where they have a selection of healing oils, the tea! etc. I cant leave without grabbing something for myself or boyfriend.
I saw Ocean for a 40 min acupuncture session and it was AMAZING! I will continue to go monthly. I had never tried acupuncture, and I think the mini session is the perfect way to try it out. I felt so grounded and relaxed after my session. I will be booking again!
Stumbled across Golden Hour on a trip to Portland visiting from Vancouver, Canada. And so happy I did! Had a terrible neck and shoulder sprain that had been bothering me for over a week. Booked the chair treatment that included massage and acupuncture. The following day my pain was totally gone. Thank you Ocean!!
*Update: I come here regularly and I have never felt so well-cared for as I do at my time at Golden Hour. *Just had my first visit for a Chair Treatment and it was an experience like nothing I had ever had before. Seriously, if you have an hour and just need to relax - this is the spot to take care of yourself.The chair appointments are $36 and last about an hour, which is certainly less expansive than most other options.
The Golden Hour chair treatment was lovely, healing, and relaxing. This was my first experience with acupuncture/acupressure and now Im sold. I was assisted by Abby (front desk) and Sara (acupuncturist); they both made sure I was comfortable and well cared for. I am already looking forward to my next treatment. Just be sure to wear pants that can be rolled up to the knee and that your shirt sleeves can be rolled up to the elbow.
Golden Hour is a contemplative and soothing wellness oasis for regular treatments of acupuncture and massage. Its beautiful with an old school Chinese and Japanese aesthetic.Janet Jay, owner and founder is the realness behind this day like spa that easily could be found in Paris, London and New York City. A reserved and comforting aura fills the rooms.As a child, Janet was introduced to Traditional Chinese medicine through elder family members as a way of self-care.GH offers various massages several include cupping and acupuncture that have a more lingering sense of relaxation than regular massage. Just recently GH introduced a facial treatment with cupping, massage, and acupuncture - my first ever.Its not liked a western facial as the acupuncture goes deeper into the skin for collagen building and removes tension from the jaws and forehead. I had anticipated that I might have a little bruising since my face was getting the needles but none at all.Janet also sources the perfect products for kindness to the mind and body. Her staff is awesome! Friendly, professional and passionate about their work!
Super relaxing and much needed after stressful flights. Definitely recommend as it is quick and intentional. We really enjoyed the Unplug Chair Treatments.
Loved this spot! The You Are Free treatment was a unique flow through massage, meditation, cupping, and acupuncture.
Wonderful service and experience. Acupuncture, cupping and massage was absolutely fantastic and the staff treated us really well.
Really excellent
