Alissa Cisco, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist, She/Her
Alissa is an intuitive massage therapist who believes that our bodies harbor both physical and emotional trauma. Her massage sessions are customized to each person’s unique needs, often starting with activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This promotes relaxation, reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and helps the body shift away from the “fight or flight” response, fostering holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
Alissa holds a degree from East West College in Portland. She is passionate about alternative healing methods for preventive care, pain management, and holistic well-being. She employs various techniques, including gentle yet deep myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Outside of her practice, Alissa enjoys time with her husband, cats, and rescue dog Clifford, along with cooking, exploring apothecary and alchemy, paddleboarding, watching hockey, and traveling whenever possible.
