About Me

I am a former wildlife biologist who got injured on the job. In the process of recovering from that injury, I discovered the amazing benefits of alternative modalities of healing.  I became intrigued by the power of touch in aiding the body's innate ability to heal.

I attended East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon, one of the top massage schools on the West Coast.  As a result, I have been a practicing massage therapist since 2005.  I am nationally certified, licensed in both Oregon state (#24691) and Washington state (#MA00020677), and a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association.  I have worked along side of chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and physicians.

I employ bodywork techniques that effectively target the painful or tense areas of the body with a combination of trigger point therapy, deep tissue, myofascial release and Structural Relief Therapy.  I love to problem solve difficult injuries and continue to perfect my skills through research and advanced bodywork classes.  Although, my massage clients are my best teachers!  My favorite aspect of the job is aiding my clients on how to prevent or improve their health issues themselves.

Testimonials~

"I don't know what magic you did yesterday but I felt great right away and even better later on.  You surely have healing hands".  Jo M.

"I would like to say that I am thankful for having the experience and healing for my injury through Holiday Sloan.  I had numbness and tingling in my left hip/leg area and with Holiday working on me and finding the areas that needed to be worked on, the numbness and tingling is gone.  She had suggestions to assist me in keeping the pain away and help me in staying well.  Which was very important to me since we are two states apart.  If I needed help here and was not getting better I would go to her; two states away!  Those that live in the community in which she serves are so fortunate!!  Thank you so much Holiday".  Penny D.

"I am a musician and had developed pain in my left forearm and shoulder.  Holiday was able to locate/isolate the source and cause of my trouble during our first session.  Two sessions later the pain was gone and I have not had anymore trouble.  The woman is a miracle worker!  I highly recommend her".  Cheryl M.

"Holiday has been a huge help to me and my son.  I have suffered from back and neck pain for years and now I'm pain free for many days.  She is knowledgeable and competent as well as caring and fun".  Melodie S.
