Donella's Therapeutic Massage

512 6th St, Washougal, WA, 98671

For as long as I can remember, I have been massaging my mother's knots and aching muscles or treating her persistent migraines. After high school I moved to Seattle to go to school for fine arts, but three weeks into the program, I realized I hated college. I was able to withdraw and move back to my hometown to figure out what I truly wanted. My mom steered me towards massage therapy and before I knew it, I was enrolled in a ten-month program with some of the best people I've ever met. I fell in love with the craft immediately. Throughout schooling I was able to practice dozens of different modalities and came to learn exactly how I had been easing my mother's pain growing up. Now, I specialize in deep tissue & treatment and emotional release to help every person feel comfortable in their body, whether the discomfort comes from a disability, trauma, or just not feeling at home in their skin. Outside of massage therapy, I am a published author. I wrote my first book at fifteen and never stopped writing. I never gave up on my art either and have a small online store where I'm able to create anything without limitations.
