Breathe

My mother and I had a great experience at Breathe, a hiddden gem with welcoming staff. Thank you, Sarah, for the magical massage, Lydia, for the wonderful facial and Rachel for coordinating everything so perfectly!

One of the best kept secrets in PDX. From the mindful and strong hands of Sarah and Dakota to the relaxation and joy of spending time with Lydia for a brow wax, eyelash curl or facial this place is a lovely treat.The space feels so relaxing and like a little magic garden with a quiet retreat inside. The energy is so soft and inviting and the products are really well curated without being overly precious or fussy.I really enjoy my time here…I also enjoy that it can all be done via internet or text and that it’s clear who and what is available when. Customer service A+++++GGM

I had a wonderful prenatal massage here with Kirstin! She was super attentive and took care to make sure I was comfortable (which isnt easy to do at 9 months pregnant). She also spent a few minutes after the massage checking in with me and giving me some tips to help with my especially tight areas. I will definitely be coming back here to check out their other services.

Beautiful atmosphere and wonderful massage from Kirstin. The other providers were friendly and lovely to cross paths with. Highly recommend!

I have an incredible experience every time I walk in the door of Breathe. Their atmosphere and the attitude and actions of their employees all put me at ease and allow me to relax entirely for the duration of my stay and all day afterward. I love Breathe so much and Ill continue coming here and referring all my friends and family whenever theyre in need of relaxation and care.

This place is so wonderful! The entire space is like a peaceful zen garden and I feel so lucky to have found such a gem so close to home. All the massage therapists are incredibly talented and shoutout to Dakota for always providing such a relaxing and peaceful experience!

Rachel has such an other-worldly gift. We are all so fortunate to be in this orbit, on this planet, at the same time as this human.Rachel, thank you for the ways you see and capture and nurture and hold. I hope Portland continues to understand the treasure in their midst, and the access to true healing available to them.Highest recommendation.

Everything that comes out of this place is both surprising and delicious and surprisingly delicious. It all feels really special. The bread subscription is worth every penny: the bread is healthy versatile and every week it’s made with different grains. The natural fermentation and super high quality grain means the bread feels like health food and tastes like heaven. It rests easy in the tummy. Sunday pop-ups mean outrageously chewy and malty pretzels, shatter-crust but toothsome baguettes and other delicious treats. If you love next-level baking and only want to eat the best stuff, Starter Bread is impeccable.

Almost four years ago, my long-time massage therapist moved out of town. For years, I tried to find someone new: a person who does thoughtful, high-quality body work, as well as someone I feel comfortable with. Andrea Zamora is that person. She has given me the most caring, therapeutic massages of my life. I feel she is genuinely concerned about my wellness when we are together. Andrea quickly finds trouble spots and works on them with a great deal of consideration; I always feel better for it.Bravo for her talent and for the lovely space Breathe offers.

Jennice is incredibly skilled and gave me an amazing myofascial release. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I had an AMAZING 90 min therapeutic massage Dakota. He made me feel so comfortable and cared for, and knew exactly what he was doing. I can’t wait for my next session with him.

Kristin has helped my body so much! She is truly caring and a lovely, hilarious person. So lucky to get such quality massages in our neighborhood!

I love visiting Breathe to get my brows waxed and styled by Tatum Waters! She is such a kind and gentle human and is so attentive to my brows. The space at Breathe is quiet and peaceful and I always feel calm and pampered after I leave. I highly recommend Tatum for your waxing and skincare needs! She is knowledgeable, caring and is passionate about making sure you look and feel your best!

I was gifted a massage at Breathe and am so happy to know this place exists now! I had a 90 minute therapeutic massage with Alyna and cant recommend her enough. I have been struggling with a lower back issue, requiring some modification to a typical massage appointment as well as extra care and attention. She took the time to really check in with me, gather a good history - she asked thoughtful questions and then continued to communicate effectively with me throughout the appointment to make sure my comfort level was okay. On top of the great service, the salon is absolutely darling and charming. Everything smells amazing and you feel warm and cozy right when you walk in. What a wonderful experience, highly recommended!

I cannot wait for Breathe to re-open! Once again my lovely partner gifted me with a gift certificate here. Ive had a perfect facial here, they took into consideration my very sensitive skin and allergies and were just so accommodating. Ive also done the yoga-massage combo and, again, amazing. LOVE this place. ♥

Kristen did an amazing job! I felt she actually paid attention to what I needed specifically for my massage and gave me super helpful info and tips afterwards! Not to mention the space itself and ambience were wonderful. Will definitely be booking again, thank you

I had my first experience at Breath last month. I had a facial and eyebrow enhancement by Elyse. I highly recommend the splurge. The spa is extremely peaceful and beautiful. I didnt want to leave. Additionally, Elyses expertise and attention to detail was flawless. I will definitely be back to try additional services.

Best facial Ive ever had. Unlike other spas that charge you an arm and a leg and leave you in the room half the time while steaming your face or just leaving product/mask on, Lydia is actively massaging or treating you the entire time. Lydia is attentive to detail, gentle yet thorough. Highly recommend.

I have been to Breathe for massages several times over the last few years, most with cupping. I have occasional back problems, so often schedule one when they flare up. The massages themselves have always been very pleasant & relaxing. Afterwards, I feel much less tense, in my back & in general. Both Alyna & Jennie are very capable masseuses.

Leigh at Breathe does an excellent job. I had a facial with the new light treatment and the next morning my results look even better than when i left the spa. Always kind and professional, I highly recommend Leigh at Breathe Spa in St. Johns, Portland.

I cant praise all the folks at Breathe enough. I have chronic pain and my quality of life is immensely improved by the tender loving care I receive at Breathe. The space is so beautiful and soothing, with lots of plants, calming music and the fragrance of essential oils.My husband is currently loving therapeutic massage with Kirsten and we both plan to try Thai massage with Kirsten soon. I get regular therapeutic massage therapy at Breathe. Ive received massages from Alyna and Rachel and both have magic hands that ease my pain and inflammation. A couple of years ago, I had a torn rotator cuff and massage therapy at Breathe was an important part of my healing and recovery.I also get facials with Lydia. Lydia gives a fabulous facial, and a really nice head, neck, arm and hand massage every appointment.Last year, I started yoga therapy at Breathe with Sarah and I love it so much! Its part meditation, part therapy, part breathwork, but its all yoga, and it really helps me. It helps me calm my nervous system. Ít helps me be more accepting and at peace with my physical limitations.

Breathe is so serene! I was offered tea upon arrival, and instantly felt calm. Libby has a gorgeous space for lashing, and does beautiful work. I got lots of compliments on them! My usually sensitive eyes had no reaction, bonus!

I loved my first visit to Breath! Sarah provided an amazing massage and knew just how to adapt her session for someone who is a distance runner. From the moment I entered I felt safe, peaceful and wrapped in the friendly care of the staff.

Sean and Tatum are amazing!! If you’re looking for an lovely and therapeutic massage, Sean is your person. I have no more knee pain. And if you want anything with lashes and brows definitely go see Tatum. ❤️

I visit Tatum as much as I can. She’s talented, soothing in nature, and meets my skin needs. I’ve been looking for a great skincare routine and esthetician for a good time now, and I’ve finally found exactly what I’ve been looking for! The experience at Breathe is relaxing, approachable, and rewarding.

Beauty isnt pain at Breathe! I loyally followed Leigh & Hannah (LA/NY Skin) here from their previous location, and couldnt be more in love with this gorgeous new space. Theres even a yoga studio and massage!I see both beauty gurus interchangeably. Both have the most calming touch, which is critical when getting a bioglycolic facial or that Brazilian waxed...They carry Jan Marini, my FAV and use a customized organic spray for their airbrush tanning. It doesnt have that obnoxious smell and looks amazing on- especially when they contour your wannabe abs!Hannah and Leigh are extremely professional and always make me feel comfortable even when Im at my most vulnerable.Im excited to get a massage soon with Rachel, shes got an amazing reputation! Cant wait to attend the yoga classes this fall. Two super happy, tan thumbs up for Breathe!

Had an incredible full body massage with Kirstin! She’s great at what she does and couldn’t more highly recommend.

Rachel is an excellent massage therapist. She is very thorough and has great handling skills for body work, from trigger point release to gentle relaxation of tender tissues. I work as an outpatient physical therapist so I further understand the talent it takes to individually gauge a persons needs and how they are tolerating the massage work. I also like that she is personable and has great taste in music that she played during the massage.

I’ve been seeing alyna regularly for a few months now and cannot overstate the positive effect her work has had on my physical and mental health. she is welcoming, kind, wonderfully healing, and a great listener. i always leave feeling like a happy puddle of molasses :}

Rachel is amazing! I have been coming to her since she first came to Portland. I had thrown out my back and could hardly get out of bed and she fixed me to 100% in two appointments. When I have body pain I dont call the Dr I call Rachel.I would also trust anybody Rachel has working at breathe to have the same set of excellent skills.

Libby is an outstanding lash artist!!! I always feel right at home. She is so kind and sweet! My lashes always Look amazing, even after three weeks! Without a doubt, GO SEE HER!!!

I called and left a message inquiring about scheduling a Lymphatic Drainage Massage and they couldn’t even bother to return my phone call. Rachel ‘texted, me a lame excuse the following day “Hi! This is Rachel from Breathe- sorry for the delay! Sometimes text and email are easier because we handle between sessions, but let me know if you’d prefer a call.”If I call, then I would prefer that you call back. Also, how on earth is a text or email easier when you “handle” between sessions? You would have to stop everything you are doing to read and reply to each text/email conversation; however, with a phone call, you can continue “handling” while you talk. One would think that if someone says, “inquire”, that usually means that they have questions. Nevertheless, if a business can’t take the time to automatically respond to a phone call with a phone call, then they obviously lack common courtesy.

I got a massage from kirstin and it was fantastic. before starting, we sat down and talked about what i was hoping to get from my massage and what areas i wanted her to focus on. i cant wait to go back for another one!!

Ive been going to this place for fifteen years! Ive tried the massages, (especially with Rachel) the facials (especially with Tatum), and I love it so much. I cant imagine going anywhere else for bodywork or face care.

I recently had a great massage by Sean at Breathe! He took my appointment last-minute, was friendly and professional, and really listened to what I needed. I will be recommending Sean and Breathe to my friends!

I always have such a relaxing and calming experience whenever I visit breathe & Tatum makes sure my brows/lashes are 100% on point. I dont get to visit as often as Id like, but its always worth it!

Massage therapy at breathe is a necessary and regular part of my “preventive maintenance” routine. Welcoming, clean, comforting, relaxing, rejuvenating. Recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

They would recommend you a ton of products and services even though you never ask for. You should expect to be rip offffff! Or maybe when you write review on Yelp, it may get hidden...because their site is only for all 5 stars reviewers. Their facial was merely like washing your own face. You can do a better job than that..

I am very happy with the service I received here. Tatum took her time on my brows and was also easy to talk to. Definitely will be back!

Had a brazilian wax done by Leigh, it was my first time and she handled me with care. LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!! I highly recommend her for ANY waxing!!

Breathe has a clean, soothing atmosphere without being over the top. It has a welcomed vibe of authenticity and practioners who are at the top of their field. I highly recommend!

Smells delicious in this place. The customer service is top notch and the woman that did my Brazilian was super kind and made my experience very comfortable. Thank you :)

Tatum gave me an extraction facial and it was marvelous. She was very kind and gentle to me but not my black heads ;)

Massage from breathe is a critical piece of my Healthcare. Very smart and skilled massage therapists.

Excellent massage therapists that cater to your needs. Reasonable prices for the quality.

Breathe feels instantly relaxing. All of the practitioners are great. It is a little treasure in St. Johns

I had a Reiki Facial with Leigh that was absolutely amazing! I will defiantly be back!

Beautiful atmosphere. Relaxing and rejuvenating. Saw Jennie, shes the best!!

Amazing atmosphere, incredibly kind, non judgmental, knowledgeable staff. Worth every penny.

Lovely and relaxing. Everyone who works there is very nice and friendly.
