There are many places to get massages in Portland and I’m sure I’ve tried over 20 of them. Zama is a place that I continue to return to. A visit starts with a nice greeting from friendly staff, an offer for water or tea and a wait in a cozy sitting room filled with appealing products (scarves, jewelry, nail polish, face cream, candles, etc.) for purchase. Their check-in process is easy and you can even make appointments online. I often call the day of or only one day ahead and usually always get an appointment. It probably helps that all of the practitioners are great. I never stick to one person and I still receive consistent, excellent healing sessions. I like all of the add-ins available — cupping, deep blue, hot stones, infrared heat — which are affordable and really helpful if your back is all crunchy. I really want to try the detox massage at some point. I’ve also gotten a couple of facials and found the practitioners to be informative and the session enjoyable. Also, they really listen here and show they care. Hope this helps! – Jessica
