I am Portia E, a proud graduate of A Gathering Place School of Massage (December 2023). My approach to bodywork blends technical skill with intuitive care, drawing from specialized training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (40‑hour certified), Tui Na Chinese bodywork (16-hr certified), and Craniosacral Therapy Level 1. I offer various massage services tailored to help clients reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and find balance through mindful touch and compassionate presence. Outside the treatment room, you’ll often find me tending my garden, spending time with my cats, or supporting my local community—each a reflection of the nurturing and grounding energy I bring to my practice. At Lavender Lotus Bodywork, every session is an invitation to slow down, restore, and return home to yourself.

The mission is to nurture the body, calm the mind, and uplift the spirit through compassionate touch, including specialized lymphatic drainage techniques. I believe in the healing power of connection — easing pain, softening tension, and restoring natural posture and flow through my massage services. Each session is guided by intention and care, creating a peaceful space where your body can unwind, your energy can realign, and your well-being can flourish.

A nurturing treatment designed to support comfort and connection during pregnancy, our massage services include a specialized focus on Lymphatic Drainage.

This results-oriented treatment is specifically designed to address the underlying issues causing you pain or restriction. Each 60-minute session focuses on one area of the body — such as the low back, hips, knees, neck, elbows, arms, or feet — utilizing a customized blend of advanced techniques, including Lymphatic Drainage. Our massage services may incorporate tools and methods like massage guns, cupping, PNMT (Precision Neuromuscular Therapy), gua sha, and alternating heat and cold therapies, all aimed at reducing tension, restoring movement, and encouraging rapid recovery.
✨ I invite you to explore my passion projects, including specialized Lymphatic Drainage massage services that I have been perfecting for 3 years ✨
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, fully clothed form of bodywork that focuses on the bones and fascial structures of the body. Through light, mindful touch along the spine, sacrum, and skull, the nervous system is invited to relax and self-correct. This deeply calming therapy supports relief from anxiety, depression, migraines, TMJ dysfunction, scoliosis, and more, while also complementing other massage services like Lymphatic Drainage. By helping to restore balance and ease throughout the whole body, CST promotes overall well-being.
Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic treatment designed to support your body’s natural detoxification and fluid balance. This specialized approach blends three styles — Norton, Voder, and Brazilian body sculpting — as taught by Brenda Michelle STL.
Through soft, intentional movements, this technique enhances lymphatic circulation, reduces fluid retention, and promotes overall vitality. Many clients benefit from our massage services, often experiencing relief from digestive discomfort, headaches, migraines, and lower back tension.
