i was in an auto accident in jan, and have been treating at fusion. the work is top notch and they bill my insurance for me. also i'm able to get appointment times after work which makes a big difference.

Pros: eve appointments

i went to fusion based on all the good reviews i read on city search, and i was so impressed that i had to add mine to the list. PERFECT. it was truly a perfect massage. i'm a nurse and on my feet for twelve hour shifts and both sessions i have had - one from kira and one from rachael - were exactly what my body needed. my lower back felt great (a rare thing) for days after. i'll be back, next sunday as a matter of fact.

Pros: open seven days, multiple great LMT's

I've been to see Rachael twice now after having previous experiences with other massage therapists that left me sore and feeling exposed. Having body work done requires the client to be somewhat vulnerable, and Rachael does an amazing job of supporting her clients by providing a warm, safe, clean, and relaxing environment to do this work. I have never felt self-conscious or ackward in her presence, and I feel she works hard to attune to my needs when I am in her space. Following both visits, I have left feeling calm, relaxed, and centered. Rachael comes highly recommended.

I loved getting a massage here. Big time spa chains are impersonal and unwelcoming, more like a massage factory. I would much prefer to go to a place like Fusion where I am treated like individual. I highly recommend Rachael, she was able to really work on trouble spots and give me a lot of stress relief. I like it here because I feel I don't have to be a certain type or act a certain way. I could just be myself. Rachael was interested in me and my needs, but not pushy or fake; really easy to talk to, and gave me the space to relax and enjoy the experience. The massage was wonderful, the space clean and inviting and the people were great. I will return again and again. Thank You!!

My experience at Fusion was truly lovely. The space is intimate, clean and inviting. Rachael was friendly and professional and made me feel completely at ease - and that was before the session even began! She listened to what wanted and combine techniques to address all of my needs. The pressure point work and use of hot stones was awesome. I would recommend Fusion, and Rachael in particular, to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and restorative bodywork experience. Which reminds me... I need to schedule my next appointment!

Pros: Pressure point work, hot stones, overall experience

Cons: I don't have another appointment tomorrow :)

At 36 weeks pregnant i started experiencing so much discomfort that i no longer enjoyed this whole mother nature thing. i went in to Fusion at a friends recommendation and was so impressed with the nurturing care and skilled work i received there that i have made it a weekly ritual until we go into labor. the pain in my hips is so much better and somehow i am feeling overall more confident in my body. i think this is great prep to birth!

Pros: great prego massage

Cons: remember to bring cash or check...no cards accepted

my family did it right this year. as an avid runner, i can certainly appreciate a fine tuned massage. i found jessica's work to be spot on. I had lasting relief from the work she did around my knees and lower back. thanks sues and kids!!!

Pros: GREAT WORK FOR RUNNERS

not one to do reviews, but i was so impressed with Jessica's work that I had to get the word out. she's intuitive and technical, a rare combo. simply the best massage i've ever had.

Pros: intuitive and technical

My Wife Was Right...Again! I started seeing Jessica Blaylock, LMT at Fusion Bodyworks Pdx for massage after my car accident. My wife has been seeing her for years for relaxation massage with hot stones, so when she recommended i see her for my therapy i wasnt completely sure. My doctor said I could choose anyone, so I gave her a shot. I am so amazed at her skill. She does all the detail work on my neck and shoulder, but she also makes me feel relaxed. I feel better now than i did before the accident. And the best part is that she did all the insurance billing on the accident claim. All told, both my wife and I are so pleased with her work.

Pros: Treated my car accident injuries like a Pro. Deep work. Open Sunday

i was late. stressed. stuck in traffic. when i finally got to the studio jessica quickly calmed me down. she is so grounded! she offered me tea, did a quick intake and within moments i was on the most comfotable massage table i have ever been on...plush, heated, cozy sheets. anyway, jessica was kind enough to work an extra 15 minutes with me, giving me the full hour, even though it was my fault. its amazing the difference in service you see when someone works for themselves. she was professional and so gifted with her craft. i will be back.

Pros: top quality - small business savvy

Cons: only one appointment at a time. single room studio...maybe an expansion one day???
