Gabe has been helping people improve mobility, function, and performance for over ten years. A graduate of East West College of the Healing Arts, Gabe began working with individual clients as a personal trainer at Portland State University, where he was a master trainer. His massage style incorporates elements of Thai, structural bodywork, corrective exercise, fascial release, craniosacral therapy, trigger point, and muscle energy techniques. His approach is collaborative, holistic, and clinical with compassion.

Sometimes we need compassionate touch; other times, an elbow in the trapezius is just the thing. We can only know through open communication, with one eye on the forest and the other on the trees.
