Valerie Henderson, L.M.T

Lic #26539

Valerie brings her love of helping others to massage. She studied Exercise Science at Appalachian State University until her student loans felt like more of a burden than an opportunity. Her desire was to do something hands-on in a medical setting, and she discovered massage. She attended the Licensed Massage Therapy Program at Central Oregon Community College and loved it! Before coming to Halcyon Bodyworks she worked with clients at a sports massage clinic.

When asked what she loves about massage Valerie said, “people are always excited to see a massage therapist. I love that I’m helping people in a way that matters to me and makes sense.”

Neuromuscular, deep tissue and sports massage are Valerie’s specialties but she wants people to know they don’t need to be athletes for those modalities to work, they are for everyone. She especially loves working on legs and hips. Valerie enjoys focused total body work, and helping with specific injuries. No two sessions are the same with her, they are tailored to each client.

Valerie grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and moved to Bend when she was 12. In her free time she enjoys hiking, running and listening to music with her partner. She has a cat named Molly who loves bird watching on YouTube.

Samantha Harber, L.M.T.

Lic #26597

After working in restaurants for years Samantha switched from nourishing people through food to nourishing people through touch. She studied massage locally at the Sage School of Massage and while in the program became pregnant with twins. They were born two months after she graduated and became a licensed massage therapist.

Samantha has a holistic approach to massage therapy. You may come to her for a specific ache but she will ask more about your work, home life, and activities to learn how to care for your body as a whole. This helps her customize your treatment to how you want to receive massage.

Book an appointment with Samantha if you are looking for relaxation or a massage to help with pain relief, stress reduction or to work on specific problems or chronic conditions. Samantha also enjoys giving pre-natal massage.

Samantha grew up in Bend and loves being part of the community. Her partner owns Southern Accent, a food truck featuring traditional Cajun cuisine. Together they have four kids and one sweet pup. Participating in community keeps her family ticking, whether that’s listening to live music or working with local non-profits.

Moriah Gingerich, L.M.T.

Lic #023347
 
Moriah is a Sage School of Massage graduate and a vibrant personality who comes into each session with an intentional and nurturing touch. Her passion is focused work and therapeutic recovery massage. Her goal is to make sure you leave your massage knowing she focused on all the areas you needed within a relaxing environment.

She truly believes in the power of movement: yoga, strength training, walking; any active movement helps take care of the body you live in. She chose massage therapy to help you along your healing journey both physically and mentally, providing a space where you can find rest and recovery. Your wellness goals are her priority.

When Moriah is not in the office you will find her out hiking with her dog Cash, soaking up any glimpse of sunshine, or at the gym (she’s studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer). Her favorite way to wind down after a long day is sticking her nose behind a good book and sipping on some lavender chamomile tea.

Ashley Barrett, L.M.T.

Lic #27379

Ashley is a Sage School of Massage graduate with a kind, intuitive touch who loves to make her clients feel cared for. She enjoys giving deep tissue massage and helping her clients with pain relief, whether acute or chronic. Since she enjoys pampering people, she also loves those times when clients are looking to zone out with some deep relaxation. With her background as a Doula, she’s passionate about prenatal massage.

Ashely is an Oregonian at heart but growing up she lived in Belgium and Senegal. She describes her childhood in West Africa as idyllic, where running through the jungle, watching for snakes, and picking mangos was like living in a children’s fantasy book. Her family eventually moved back to Portland, Oregon and then she found her way to Bend and became a massage therapist. Something she wanted for a very long time.

Like most Bendites, Ashely is a fan of the outdoors. She’s spent lots of time backpacking huge sections of the PCT in Oregon and Washington as well as hiking all over the US. When the weather is nice you’ll find her stand up paddleboarding, hiking, backpacking, or going to the beach. She also loves playing guitar, going to concerts, spending time with family and friends, and journaling.

She lives on a farm and likes to spoil her chickens with homemade oatmeal.
