My first time trying a Thai massage. It was awesome. I felt immediate improvement in my left shoulders range of motion and look forward to going again. Enjoy!

I was lucky enough to recently experience a Thai yoga class with Rissa followed by some spa time at the beautiful Soaking Garden in North Portland. It felt like true self-care for both body and spirit.

Rissa is a gifted and knowledgeable instructor. She brought a chill, grounding vibe to the session with her clear instructions and thoughtful modifications. Even leading a group of 10, she managed to tailor the practice so seamlessly that it seemed like every individual in the studio got exactly what they needed. ❤️

My first Thai Massage with Rissa at Moving Meditations was incredible. As a Physical Therapist, Trainer, and Licensed Massage Therapist myself, I immediately felt her depth of knowledge and skill. She listened closely to my needs and approached my body with compassion, intention, and expertise.
Her technique was exactly what I needed, she eased my neck tension, addressed back, hip, and hamstring restrictions , and helped me feel mentally and physically cared for. I left feeling relaxed, restored, and genuinely supported. Russia is exceptional.

My first Thai massage with Rissa was extraordinary. Her techniques were very unique compared to various massage sessions I’ve had over the years. Rissa was very patient and took the time to understand what my personal goals were , in addition to what my frustrations and concerns were at the age of 85, to improve my motion and mobility. She focused her massage techniques on my problem areas which I’ve been dealing with for quite some time. She gave me exercises I can do at home or gym. In addition to her wonderful one on one weight training program I am beginning to see improvement in areas I totally struggled with before. Before my sessions and training with Rissa , I guess because of my age, I was giving up hope that I could significantly improve my movement, mobility and strength and could only somehow lessen the decline a little . Not any more! Thank you Rissa! Jane

What a wonderful experience! Rissa was wonderful! My body felt so good after the treatment! I highly recommend her! She was patient, friendly and had a ton of knowledge! I can’t wait to get back!

This was only my second experience with Thai massage and Rissa was very welcoming, easy to talk to, and her massage studio is very calming. I saw Rissa because I had been having a nagging shoulder pain and limited mobility. I workout 6 days a week and the shoulder was limiting my ability to workout and meet my fitness goals. Rissa spent time focusing on that area and also worked on my legs and back which I didn’t realize were also tense, sore and related to all the rest. Right after the session I had increased mobility in my shoulder and was able to move it in directions with less pain than before. It wasn’t until that night at bed time did I realize how much better it had gotten. Before it was painful to put pressure, lay on and sleep on that shoulder. But as I got into bed I didn’t feel any pain laying on it. And even better my next days workout I had increased strength, energy and felt like I was finally back to my normal lifting. All I can saw is Rissa was amazing and I will definitely visit her again. Thanks Rissa!

Rissa was wonderful. I had my first Thai massage and wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but rissa was communicative, kind, and did an excellent job on focusing on specific parts of my body that needed attention - without overdoing it in more delicate areas. In particular, she did an excellent job working around a lingering shoulder injury and stretching my arm without pushing it too hard.

I left feeling like a new man!

I would highly recommend Rissa as a masseuse!

Had an amazing therapeutic massage from Rissa that immediately alleviated my neck pain (both sides! two different areas). She was super attentive to my comfort and her space is quiet and calm. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family!
