Ben Murphy

Ben has sought holistic well-being through bodywork and self-care for the last decade. He finds profound fulfillment in channeling his life experience and learning of various massage styles into individually tailored bodywork sessions. He is excited to share his unique style with those seeking deep experiences of relaxed physical awareness, somato-emotional unwinding, and/or relief from symptoms, such as: headaches, fatigue, general stress, restricted movement, chronic discomfort, and/or restriction of the breath. His work provides a holistic sense of alignment and ease in the body. In his work he combines Neuro-Structural Bodywork, Breathwork, and traditional massage forms (swedish, deep tissue) with mindfulness techniques, which help clients become more aware of their in-the-moment experience and helps them better absorb the work.

Ben currently lives and practices in Portland, Oregon at a medspa called Sante Aesthetics and Wellness. In his 3 years practicing there, he has learned to adapt his style to a wide variety of needs. From people recovering from a motor vehicle accident to Crossfit enthusiasts to people wanting luxury and relaxation. His style is best suited to individuals living an active lifestyle, who want assistance remobilizing stuck areas or want a holistic calming of the physical body and nervous system. If you are interested in any particular aspect of what he does, please let him know at the time of your session. Whether you know clearly what you want, or you’d prefer to leave it up to his knowledge and discernment, together you can set an intention to approach your session in a way that will best suit your needs and wants.
