First Yomassage Social Spa Opens in Portland, Oregon

Yomassage opened its first social spa in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, October 1.

After four years of training practitioners in the modality, the Yomassage founders opened this first brick-and-mortar social spa to provide physical touch, social connection, and community.

The Yomassage Social Spa offers semiprivate sessions in a relaxation studio or individual sessions in private treatment rooms. The spa also will feature sessions specifically for the preconception, prenatal, and postnatal communities, in addition to anyone looking to manage stress, feel nurtured, and take care of their mind and bodies.
