Five-Star Reviews

“I don't even know where to begin… I first met Kelly because we both work and live in NW Portland. I had been having the worst time with.. well, everything. My neck and back were both a mess and then my arm and hand had begun going numb while I was sleeping at night. The pain eventually became unbearable, so I finally decided to book an appointment. Now, I have had plenty of relaxing massages in my life.. but I have never actually felt HEALED after one.. until Kelly! She is seriously a miracle worker. Her intuition is spot on and I have yet to feel any pain or numbness since. I try to make it in to see her as often as I possibly can! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone and everyone that is in need of an AMAZING massage.” - HR

"Kelly is the best massage therapist in Portland! She is always able to identify and treat my sore muscles and fascia. I always leave feeling better--feeling great! I have always found Kelly to be highly intelligent, knowledgable, intuitive, and incredibly helpful. She is a true healer!" -Saville E.

"Kelly is tuned in to what needs to be done. Even if you're not sure where there is a problem, she will find it! She is at the top of my list for practitioners in Portland. A really gifted pair of hands and a compassionate heart." -JR

"I have had an awesome experience with my treatment from my injuries in an auto accident. Kelly Forester has done an excellent job in helping me with the treatment. Thank you so much for being there." - Janet N.

“Kelly‘s work is beyond fantastic! I know that she knows what she was doing in order to get results. She seems to just have an inherent ability to apply the correct pressure for each area she is working. I feel like I can just let go and enjoy when she is giving me a massage. I am getting elderly and felt totally safe with her work on my body. I would rate her massages as incredibly exceptional and highly recommend her as a massage therapist! She is the best!” - Susan T.

“I have been seeing Kelly consistently for over a year and she is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever visited. She always starts the session by attentively listening and formulating a plan that you both agree on. She regularly checks in to make sure you are satisfied with the pressure. She has a calm and nurturing demeanor and her talented hands put my mind and body at ease at the end of every session. Kelly will have you come away wishing you had booked a longer massage!” - KB

“Kelly is a fantastic therapist and I would highly recommend. She takes the time to listen to your needs and encourages two-way communication to create the best experience possible. I always walk away feeling refreshed, relaxed, and better than when I walked in. Best of all, she's great at focusing on a longer term plan to get the most out of your time over subsequent visits.” - Andrew K.

“Kelly is an amazing therapist and one I would recommend to anyone. As soon as you walk into her treatment space you feel she is 100% focused on you. She takes time to listen to your needs, and you can immediately tell she is direct, calm and capable. It isn’t easy to find someone who is structurally knowledgeable and can provide medical treatment at the same time as providing stress reduction and relaxation. I came out of a massage with her feeling both rejuvenated and in less pain from a chronic issue.I don’t always get them both. If you want to feel cared for and walk away with a plan to address your physical issues, this is the therapist to try.” - BL

“Caring, intuitive, amazing! Kelly gives a wonderful therapeutic massage and really listens to what the body needs. She’s helped a lot with reducing the pain in my neck and low back and finds all the spots that I don’t even know I have. Truly one of the best massages, highly recommend!” - Sarah S.

“Kelly is an amazing massage therapist who is an expert in her craft. She is attentive, communicative, and in the year plus that I've seen her she's helped keep my neck and back loose and pain free. Highly recommended!” - Logan Y.

“Kelly is a fantastic bodyworker and all around lovely person. She brings years of experience and expertise in techniques I find most useful - especially trigger point work and Myofascial release. She has a calm presence and is an excellent communicator. I always feel like a new person after a session with Kelly. I highly recommend!” - KD

“Five stars doesn’t do it justice! Kelly is the best at what she does, she’s a wonderful person to spend time around, & I am healthier & less stressed thanks to her skills & expertise.” - Seth G.

“I've been receiving massage from Kelly for several years and she never disappoints! She's very intuitive and she always knows how to balance relaxation with deep therapeutic work. She is super knowledgeable about herbal medicine too and really encourages me to work on my overall wellness in between sessions as well as on the table.” - CS

“I found Kelly because she was highly recommended by a friend who has been seeing her for years. Kelly is an incredibly talented, healing and skilled massage therapist. I enjoy a relaxing massage, and she can do that, but her work goes far and above that. She takes full wellness into consideration and her work is truly healing. She also pays great attention to details. Her space is relaxing and calm and easy to get to in inner Portland. I also recommend talking to her about her custom herbal formulas.” - Lisa M.

“Kelly is terrific. I would have said the best kept secret in Portland EXCEPT I discovered her long after my friend Liz had been raving about her for years. She's really good at what she does and I always walk away feeling totally revitalized. I think my favorite thing about her is the consistency. It's not like she's the only one who's ever given a great massage. But unlike other LMTs I've worked with, she ALWAYS gives a great massage! And she can work with you to determine what's appropriate instead of just some off-the-shelf "starbucks" massage. Unfortunately, I've moved to San Francisco, so I only get to schedule in a session every few months when I visit. Sigh... until I find the equivalent in SF, Kelly is still my #1 recommendation.” - Austin S.

“I started going to Kelly two years ago when I first moved to Portland, and I have not been tempted even a little to try someone else. I have gone to a lot of massage therapists in other cities for my back pain and Kelly is by far the best I've found anywhere. One of the reasons I am staying with her is because she is continuously learning new ways to release pain and tension. I know that with every visit that the massage will be better than the last. Additionally, Kelly is a well-trained herbalist and she has given me valuable advice on which herbs to take for stress. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a therapeutic massage with results.” - AM

“Kelly is well trained and professional in her work. She knows how to follow her instincts which is an important ability for a body worker. As a shiatsu practitioner, I am very picky about who works on me and I can recommend Kelly without hesitation.” - BW
