Alyssa Downs, LMT
Alyssa is our resident rehabilitative/deep tissue massage therapist, working mainly in injury repair, and has been practicing (mostly) locally since 2014. Alyssa specializes in therapeutic treatments including trigger point, deep tissue, muscle stripping, and sports therapies (that work to increase range of motion), and loves to combine techniques to relieve each patient’s individual causes of pain. Alyssa uses more intensive techniques in her treatments, so if you are coming to see her, please be well hydrated (and maybe mentally prepared).
Alyssa is a mother of two, and lives in Bend with her husband, kiddos, and two snuggly cats. When not massaging, she loves listening to/playing music, singing, watching movies, and dancing in the kitchen while she bakes.
Favorite movies: “Sister Act 2”, “Endings, Beginnings”
Favorite songs: “Everywhere, Everything” by Noah Kahan & Gracie Abrams, “Could Have Been Me” by The Struts (played at max volume)
Favorite things to bake: rocky road brownies, chocolate chip cookies

A lover of hiking, swimming, and cozy drinks, he aims to master lymphatic drainage and sports massage. He aims to get everyone to their best health and athletes “back in the game”.

Blending deep tissue, Swedish and intuitive flow, she works with the body rather than against it – listening closely to breath, nervous system cues and the natural rhythms of each client.
McKenzie is a Bend native and enjoys spending time with her daughter exploring nature, paddle boarding, hiking, snowmobiling and creating art.
