We have just begun building this page. You’ll see many more therapists here shortly as we collect bios from our team.


Jesse Robinson.

Jesse runs his own therapeutic massage practice JaaRo Massage, with over a dechade of experience. Chair Massage Arts is lucky to have him join our team, where he brings his excellent therapeutic skills to the chair. Jesse explains a little about his practice below.

JaaRo Massage is a professional therapeutic massage business and a personal challenge sent to myself to improve the understanding of body, health, and how human beings are connected.  There are many aspects to health, and while I focus on our physical well-being (most often improving mobility and tissue trauma re-organization) the process of learning and practicing therapeutic massage has expanded my awareness of the complexity of our interconnectedness. It's these insights that I use to help guide sessions and inform my clients when they ask for assistance on their own healing challenges.



Tae Pedersen.

Hello! My name is Tae. I am a queer POC licensed massage therapist in Portland, Oregon. Lit Soul Massage is my offering to our vibrant communities of North Portland and beyond.

Bodywork and healing is a passion of mine that I am excited to be able to share with you whether it be at my home office, or at your home or workspace. My practice was built to be inclusive, body positive and provide opportunity for more people to be able to have massage as part of their self care routine.

I began my formal bodywork training in 2016 at East West College of the Healing Arts. My massage style is a flowing blend of Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release and Swedish incorporating elements of Thai, Craniosacral and energy work. I am excited to share my work with you and hope you find it to be as intentional, intuitive, considerate and wholistic as the energy that I put into each treatment. I offer a discounted rate for first time clients and post a list of specials year round. Check out my personal page and Google reviews for more info. And please get in touch if you have any questions or want to book a treatment.
