This is the true story of my one and only experience with Dosha: I responded to an ad I saw on Craiglist that was looking for licensed massage therapists in the Portland area. A rep at Dosha contacted me the next day and set up an interview appointment with me for the following day. I asked a few harmless question during this phone call about Dosha; just general questions about the job and about Dosha. I noticed a little resistance from Margaret's voice and a definite 'holier than thou' attitude on the phone when she replied with short and abrupt answers to my queries. I could tell instantly, that this was one of those places where they pay the massage therapist around $9 or $10 per every 1 hour massage performed instead of the usual $30 to $40 per 1 hour massage standard rate. I decided to schedule the interview anyways, because I was going to be in the local area dropping off my resume at other businesses. I showed up for the appointment as scheduled and as soon as I walked in the door I got a bad vibe about the place. For starters, the place is adjoined to a nice classy hotel in the downtown area of Portland and I was escorted immediately in the lobby area as soon as I walked in. Apparently, the entire interview was to take place in the hotel lobby waiting area... I was told to wait a few minutes as I filled out an application. An application I thought. What kind of place is this? I just handed them my resume which had all my info on it and they still wanted me to fill out one of those things... Strange. Ok, at this point I'm thinking.... maybe they pay their massage therapists right at the minimum wage cutoff and offer no medical benefits. After waiting about 5 minutes, someone came out and kindly informed me that Courtney, my interviewer, was on the phone and didn't have the time to interview me. So I was told to come back at a later time. That was irritating to say the least and highly unprofessional. That's my experience with Dosha
Pros: It was clean and tidy; that's about it...
Cons: Parking is next to impossible because it's located right in the downtown area of Portland. Very tiny and compact place.

When this place was owned by Aveda it was in fact a diamond in the rough but since Dosha took ownership it is just like all their other places. I thought "well hopefully they still have some or all of the same staff so at least the treatments will be good. Not the case. It has changed and is no longer a serene getaway but rather just another place run by corporate Dosha. Too bad, it was one of my favorites.
