Hi! I'm Jill Deckman Cooper, Licensed Massage Therapist and owner of Bend MassageWorks. I was trained in the art of massage therapy at The Cortiva Institute in Seattle, The Costa Rica School of Massage, and Bastyr University. Upon graduating, I spent an incredible year studying under Brian Utting and the Pacific Northwest School of Massage perfecting muscle specific deep tissue techniques. I come from a medical massage background and focus on integrating treatment work with sublime relaxation. After experiencing great loss in my beautiful life, I have come to understand the important role of massage therapy in the process of moving through grief and healing. I am able and honored to hold space for those who are struggling with anxiety or trauma related symptoms. As a mama of two kids, I love nurturing prenatal clients and helping to provide relief from all of the aches and pains that come from growing a human. I am also blessed to provide oncology massage therapy through the St. Charles Cancer Center Integrative Therapies and in my personal practice. Thank you for your interest in Bend MassageWorks. I can't wait to become your favorite massage therapist! OR License # 24035
