This is a new type of body work for me. It is so much better than the passive massages I have enjoyed in the past. Zach uses subtle adjustments and really finds the place where the tension resides.

Such a skilled and gifted master of the craft! I booked somewhat of an emergency appointment due to severe neck pain that had traveled down my back.

Zach not only soothed what was going on to give some relief from the continual pain but he worked his interstellar magic, got into my hard drive and actually removed said ache and strain.Seriously not only was my injury soothed but it felt completely removed after the session. This being clearly knows what they are doing and is who you can go to if you need a master professional in body work. Less
The massage I received was phenomenal! Zach’s ever-increasing understanding of kinesiology was apparent in his approach and technique. The massages I received in the past, while beneficial, felt like a lecture. This massage felt like an Interactive conversation and participation.

The massage I received was phenomenal! Zach’s ever-increasing understanding of kinesiology was apparent in his approach and technique. The massages I received in the past, while beneficial, felt like a lecture. This massage felt like an Interactive conversation and participation. I provided feedback verbally and through my physical responses. I also provided some of the resistance, when prompted. I’m fairly certain that I had muscles and muscle groups worked on and stretched, that I never have before. I felt the contrast by the relief I experienced on the right side of my body, which was worked on first, and the left side. I felt relaxed and relieved at the end of the session. It’s going to be difficult to wait for my next session. Less

Zach did remarkable work to reduce my pain and my limp in walking. We discussed to sciatic pain I had in my leg. I was on pain meds. He described an approach he has used in stretching with limited resistance. I was pleased to try because I had given up on Physical Therapy. With massage to the muscles, stretching and some on/off light resistance, Zach was able to help me get more flexibility and reduce my pain and resulting limp. I am very pleased with Zach’s assistance and will continue with his assistance in stretching for flexibility. Less
This was my first time getting a Thai Massage. I've had many deep tissue massages, and I felt that they weren't really addressing the issue of my tight shoulder. Zach was great.

This was my first time getting a Thai Massage. I've had many deep tissue massages, and I felt that they weren't really addressing the issue of my tight shoulder. Zach was great. He took the time to understand my areas of concern and he made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I think what I appreciated the most was the interactive part of the experience. Unlike deep tissue massage where it is mostly a passive experience, the process was dynamic and it involved participation on my end. I will definitely be going back. I finally feel some movement in my shoulder that I had not felt before. Less
I had a great massage with Zach! His Thai work, done on a mat, included elements of myofascial release and sports massage techniques that made his work feel distinct. He has a very warm personality and a good sense of humor; I felt safe in his care and therefore super relaxed. Most of all, I had fun! His work was playful and interesting.

That was spectacular! Never had a massage like that before. I feel like a limp Noodle and that's a great feeling.
Zach figured out exactly what my problem was and worked on resolving those issues. I actually had pain in my hips for sitting at work all day and he was able to work that out. Very grateful!... More

I was looking for a new Massage Therapist closer to my house. I came across The Portal Massage via a Facebook ad. I was able to book with Zach the very same day. Today actually. The experience was nothing like I’ve ever had before with a Massage Therapist. And I’ve had a few of them. Zach has an exclusive space that is quiet, very calm, and relaxing. I explained to Zach my reason for coming in today and he was immediately attentive to it. Zach got right to work With stretching and trigger point massage. Most massage appointments are rather clinical in that there’s a massage table. You lay face down for half the time then you flip over and lay face up for half the time and then the session is done. Not here. Zach gets right into the routine with you. He actually becomes a partner in your massage. He uses his entire body strategically to initiate stretching and massage, and it was an experience that I have never had before. His demeanor is calm and relaxing I felt completely at ease with him. I typically don’t write a lot of reviews but this massage service went far above and beyond what I even anticipated. Give him a call. You won’t regret it. Less

Bottom line, great massage. Intuitive approach that integrated Thai and Western styles to identify areas of focus. Highly recommend.
It was great! It was what I needed and what I was expected. Thanks Zach, I am looking forward to continue seeing you.

Ambiance and Environment The spa’s ambiance is designed to promote relaxation and tranquility. Soft lighting, soothing music, and a pleasant aroma filled the air, creating a serene environment ideal for unwinding. The cleanliness and attention to detail in the decor further enhanced the overall experience, making me feel comfortable and welcome. Professionalism and Expertise Zach, the massage therapist, was exceptionally professional and skilled. He took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences, ensuring that the massage was tailored to address my areas of concern. His expertise was evident in his technique, which combined deep tissue and Swedish massage methods to relieve tension and promote relaxation. Massage Technique Zach’s technique was impeccable, with a perfect balance of pressure and precision. He skillfully targeted my problem areas, alleviating muscle knots and reducing stress. Throughout the session, Zach checked in to ensure the pressure was comfortable and adjusted accordingly. The use of high-quality oils and lotions added to the overall soothing effect, leaving my skin feeling nourished and rejuvenated. Customer Service The customer service at The Portal was outstanding. From booking the appointment to the follow-up after the session, every interaction was handled with the utmost professionalism and care.
