Lifeworks Massage

To give a thorough review, I have to explain some of my history.I have a lot of pain from two different car accidents that happened within a couple of months of each other, over 20 years ago. I also have fibromyalgia and am a breast cancer survivor. My lower and mid back, hips, and shoulder blades are in a constant hum of pain. I also have a lot of fascia adhesions due to breast cancer surgeries. I felt that my body was broken and being pain free wasn’t an option for me. I’ve been to many massage “therapists” to no avail. I went to see Amber at a suggestion from a friend.Amber greeted me warmly and professionally. Her therapy is in her home- which is clean and inviting. Her therapy room is private and cozy.Amber went over my history right before we started the first massage. She listened to my pain and trauma history and later followed up with feeling it with her hands. She told me several times when a certain spot wasn’t quite right and sure enough, it was a tender spot for me. It was insane how she was able to find the exact spots that needed the most work without me having to direct her to those spots.I add on the hot Himalayan salt stones and the cbd oil to all of my massage sessions. I spend two hours in a lot of pain- at Amber’s hands. She coaches me through it and stops every time I need a break.She has been able to get rid of the persistent butt/hip pain I had for over a year and a half. It affected the way I walked and slept. I nearly cried because it had been so long since I could walk without hip pain!!I have continued to see Amber and yes, the type of massages I get from her is to release the adhesions and trauma built into my body so it hurts during the massage, but in the following days, my body has less pain, more range of motion, and the best thing of all, I have HOPE again that my body can heal with continued work with Amber. I have never, ever thanked someone so much to put me in a world of hurt that later yields less pain.I should add, the world of hurt she puts me through? It’s not because she is rough or going too hard! In some areas of my body, a concentrated light pressure makes me writhe in pain. But after the adhesions are broken up, it’s less painful. Over more time, I expect it to dissipate. Amber is a miracle worker.Lastly, I have not met any other therapist like Amber. She truly cares for her clients. When I told her I was finally pain free and able to walk normally again, she teared up. She cares about my healing and journey to being pain free. She has a lot of compassion along with her tremendous amount of knowledge for the modalities of therapies she employs. I love that she also continues to learn and expand her knowledge base to help me and her other clients.I shout her praises to anyone that will listen and I will not be changing therapists anytime soon because she is THAT GOOD.I look forward to each and every massage therapy session because I know it only helps heal my body. I cannot thank Amber enough.

Amber is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable about the body and how it functions. With years of education and hands on experience, she knows exactly where to target treatments, for whatever ails the body. She is passionate about her work. You know when youre on the table that she is giving her all. Her place is very clean, comfortable and professional. It is not an exaggeration to say that she gives the best massages Ive ever had. You may be a little sore after treatment but it will feel so therapeutic, amazing.

Im generally hesitant going to someones house for a service but her dedicated room is cozy and welcoming. I have been to so many massage places but none of them compare to Amber. She is a phenomenal massage therapist. Her sports massage is top tier and provides so much relief for me. When you say deep tissue you are going to get it. She also provides CBD as an option for the massage which I highly recommend.

I would say that this is an extremely beneficial and interesting service. Range of motion, pain, sensitivity are all very much improved. I appreciated Ambers professionalism and explanations as well as her obvious skill. Highly recommended.

When I say this woman has the hands of a magician….i mean it! I went in this evening with HORRIBLE sciatic pain and Amber worked most of it out and gave me relief like no other! I couldn’t bend down, sit or do anything other than lay on my stomach with out extreme pain. After just 30 min of some DEEP work, she made it so I could move around again and do what I needed to do as a single mom of a toddler. I am so thankful and 100% recommend her. On top of her amazing work, the environment was so relaxing! She’s amazing. Don’t hold back if you’re in pain or needing relief! She’s the one!

When I first came to Amber, I was having significant back pain when getting up from a sitting down position. Working a desk job means I was having back pain a lot. Within the first session, I had relief and within a few sessions I am virtually pain free. Based on my experience of Ambers massages, I think it is important to note that you will be sore, maybe even for a few days but the relief you feel afterward is completely worth it.She knows what she is doing and has made a dramatic improvement in my life. She has a wonderful demeanor and really is pleasant to talk to (even if sometimes I swear from a very sore spot she is working through). She is also very knowledgeable and walks you through what she is working on etc. Im so happy I found her!

The best massage I’ve ever had! I could feel the stress and tension in my body from working long hours on my feet and the myofascial release Amber did was exactly what I needed! AMAZING! An absolute expert in her field, very professional, and the most comfortable I’ve been with such an intimate experience. I will definitely be going back regularly!

Amber is amazing! I have had years of massage and want a massage therapist that actually does their job and makes me sore. She does excellent deep tissue. If I am not having to breath through the massage it is not a good massage. She communicates through the entire massage and is very professional. She also follows strict guidelines for cleaning between each client.

Amber is one of the most skilled massage therapists I’ve ever been to. As a nurse I am on my feet for 12-18 hour shifts and my body feels it. I suffer from chronic lower back and shoulder pain. Amber does an amazing deep tissue/sports medicine massage and really gets in there to release those sore tight muscles. I can not recommend her enough! if you suffer from back pain she can work wonders. I’ve never felt so good leaving a massage. One of the best parts, the relief I got from her massage lasted longer than it ever has before. She is a master at her craft no doubt about it. You will not be disappointed if you allow her to do your body work!

Amber is incredibly knowledgeable of the body and her massages never cease to amaze me. I’ve had other great massages but no one comes close to doing the work Amber is able to do. In 3&1/2 hours over 2 sessions she was able to significantly loosen many areas that were causing a lot of problems for me including negatively effecting my mental health.You may have had a massage before but not from Amber so have you even lived?! 😉-Amanda Drake

Amber by far exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge of the human anatomy and how everything works together is unbelievable. I have never felt this good after a massage. She intuitively understood my body and just what I needed! Ambers studio is quite, clean, and very comfortable. Highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a knowledgeable licensed massage therapist in Bend, Oregon.

I have been receiving both deep tissue and sports massage from Amber for years. She never ceases to amaze me with her knowledge and incredible techniques. Every session is consistently great. Hands down Amber is the best massage therapist I have ever experienced. I cant recommend her work enough!

Amber was my masseuse. She was amazing. I hurt my calf running that morning and she fit me in for an afternoon appointment. Amber was quite knowledgeable and really, really got into the muscle and worked the knot out. I could barely walk when I went in and felt (almost) repaired when I walked out. Great massage overall, especially for her price! I will absolutely be back but hopefully under better circumstances next time!!

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I can’t believe I was able to get results on the first visit. It wasn’t just a stand up after visit and feel good result. It was more than that. She was able to get movement in my limbs like I have never been able to do on my own through stretching or anything. I will definitely be going back!

I have had Amber work on my back and she is amazing. She did some deep tissue work that really got in where I needed it. Her space is so warm and comforting. I would definitely recommend her to all my for friends sports massage and deep tissue massage.

Amber is the most gifted massage therapist I know! She is skilled at her craft, knowledgeable, kind, and empathetic. She is everything I need!

Fantastic deep tissue massage. Amber makes me feel completely comfortable, being a newbie to massage. She explains what she is doing while naming the muscles. Unbelievable how much motion I now have in my arms, neck, and back!

Amber is very knowledgeable about muscles and shares with you how each of them work together to give you movement. She wants to help your body move well for your overall health. I highly recommend getting a massage by Amber. Your body will thank you.

Amber did a fantastic deep tissue massage focused on my neck and shoulders. She asked all the right questions and got out some serious knots that were causing issues. I highly recommend her services!! I will definitely be back!

I was absolutely blown away by Ambers skilled hands. Her work is by far the best Deep Tissue massage I have ever received. If you are looking for an intuitive and truly knowledgable massage therapist, look no further. Amber is the best there is.

Amber is professional, experienced, & skilled plus friendly & attentive. She listens to what is bothering you & finds the other things you havent noticed & caters to suit your needs. Suggests exercises & stretches to go along with her treatments. Clean, calm, & relaxing atmosphere.

Amber is one of the best massage therapists around. And Lifeworks is a great value for the money. Highly recommended. She fixed my shoulder and it feels great now!

I’ve been getting deep tissue massage for forty years. I’ve probably seen 25-30 different therapists over that time. I could see any of those therapists ten times and not get the relief I get from seeing Amber once. I could go on and on about Amber’s abilities but I think that sums it up pretty well.

I went to Amber for a deep tissue massage and it was amazing. I left feeling so much better then when I got there. I love her warm inviting space as well. All around great experience and I will definitely be back.

After a car accident in November, Amber has made all the difference in my recovery. I would highly recommend her. Shes extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, and experienced. If you are in any kind of pain or stress, shes the person to see.

Amber did a terrific job releasing the extra water in my feet and ankles. I had never expect that a little massage could do that. I have constant pain in my left hip and she also relieved almost all the pain. Terrific massage and wonderful relief from pain afterwards.

Amber is soo great at what she does! She makes me feel at ease and I leave feeling like a million bucks! I cant recommend her enough! Check her out, you wont be disappointed!

Best massage Ive ever received! Amber is very professional and knowledgeable and Ive already recommended her to several people.

This was my first time getting a massage and Amber took a lot of time with me and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely get another massage by Amber. Thank You!
