Breathe

Get some sinus pressure relief with a massage or facial or both this weekend! Allergies have been hitting most of us pretty hard. Pressure point massage for sinuses, lymphatic drainage for face and neck, hot towels and aromatherapy can go a long way to offer relief. Let your practitioner know that you’d like extra focus for sinuses pressure relief and help clearing/draining. 🧖🏼‍♀️

Spring Equinox is a big shift for nature, including our bodies. It’s a great time to seek nervous system calming care, which helps sleep and improves organ function. Also a great time to move stagnant lymph and qi, shed dry dull skin, and soothe and lengthen tissues that have been in hibernation mode.

Our facial+bodywork combo session is the perfect solution, and it’s available Fri-Sun at $15 off when you mention this post! 90 min or 2 hr option. Link in bio to request yours!

🌱 Please help us welcome Victoria to Breathe!🌱

Victoria (she/they) is dual licensed as an Esthetician and Massage Therapist offering holistic skincare and bodywork sessions that support both the skin and nervous system. Their work blends therapeutic touch with plant-based care and a trauma-informed approach.

Here are a few words from Victoria about themself:

Outside of my treatment room you can usually find me playing with plants in my apothecary, tinkering in my craft studio, or harvesting herbs to make medicine. I love working with my hands — beading, creating ritual tools, and bringing beauty and intention into everyday life.

I’m also deeply rooted in community life here in Portland. I spend a lot of time helping organize gatherings, holding grief spaces, and cackling with friends at q***r events around town.

I feel really honored to do this work and I’m excited to be part of the Breathe community. I look forward to meeting you ✨

Please help us welcome Mikaela Fish! Mikaela will be at Breathe Saturdays and Sundays starting 2/21. She is dual licensed as an Esthetician and Massage Therapist and will offer holistic skincare and bodywork+facial combo treatments. Read below for an intro from Mikaela, and scroll through the photos to get to know her better. We’re so excited to have her join our lil crew! 💞

I’m someone who loves to travel, be outside, host cozy gatherings, laugh at the little things, and spend time with my partner and our animals (scroll to see my dog, Cookie!). I’m happiest creating, whether that’s through art, cooking, dancing, or crafting up personalized skin treatments.

I grew up in the woods of Alaska, where I developed a deep respect for nature-both its beauty and its harshness-and an appreciation for its medicinal and healing properties. That relationship continues to inspire my skincare practice. The more I learn about how botanicals interact with our skin, the more I believe healthy skin care is about harmony and balance. I am a lifelong learner and always striving for new ways to strengthen my practice and deepen my understanding.

I also weave my massage background into every service, working with deeper layers to release jaw, head, and facial tension: melting old patterns, moving stagnation, and opening space for change and healing. I love being able to do this work and I look forward to meeting you ✨

Cherie Johnson is a licensed aesthetician and graduate of the Portland Aesthetics Institute, where she received hands-on training in advanced skincare treatments and client-focused wellness practices. With a deep passion for helping others feel confident and radiant in their own skin, Cherie brings both skill and heart to esthetics.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Cherie first developed a love for natural beauty at a young age. Her focus on wellness and caring for others are rooted in the lessons taught by her grandmother, a vegan chef and a naturalist, in the kitchen and outdoors. She has held roles in every aspect of the beauty and skincare industry, from creation and manufacture of skincare products to work in spas and salons. Cherie believes skincare is more than just appearance—it’s about self-care, confidence, and well-being. Whether performing customized facials, creating treatment plans, or offering product recommendations, Cherie strives to create a safe, relaxing space where clients feel heard, cared for, and empowered.

Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, reading, and spending as much time near the water as possible—swimming or simply soaking up the sun.
