About Me

Lisa MertzI was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia where I acquired my undergraduate degree in Social Work at the University of Georgia in 1998. After working in the Georgia Public School system, I went on to study at the Atlanta School of Massage where I learned a variety of healing techniques.

After 11 years of professional experience, I provide an integrated approach to wellness that incorporates clinical modalities, self awareness and energy work to provide a balanced and effective therapeutic experience. My specialties include deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy while placing a strong emphasis on relaxation and stress reduction. I work especially well with injury repair, pain management and alleviating anxiety. My most recent evolution as a therapist includes CranioSacral Therapy from the Upledger Institute. The Florida organization is the only certifying institute for this practice.

I make my home in Southeast Portland with my husband, Erick. We have a son, a dog and two cats and are proud to call this city our home.
