Meet Bonnie – Licensed Massage Therapist & Craniosacral Specialist

With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Massage Therapist and a decade as a Craniosacral Therapist, Bonnie brings a deep, intuitive understanding to every session. Her specialty lies in helping clients recover from complex trauma injuries, with a focus on nervous system regulation and reconnection to the body—a powerful starting point for true healing.

Bonnie’s approach is both gentle and effective. She often begins with Craniosacral Therapy to calm the nervous system, then integrates Deep Tissue and Myofascial techniques to address physical injuries—creating a personalized, holistic treatment plan for each client. Her calm presence and extensive knowledge make her especially skilled at supporting clients through the often-complicated world of car accident recovery and insurance claims.

Healing has been Bonnie’s life passion since the age of fifteen, when a visit to a Japanese spa in New Mexico sparked a calling. That moment set her on a lifelong path of study in the healing arts. Today, her practice—Selah Bodyworks, located in North Portland—continues to evolve, grounded in presence, intuition, and a deep respect for the body’s ability to heal.

Bonnie is known for making everyone feel at ease and celebrates all genders and body types. With a long track record of 5-star reviews, her clients return not just for her skill, but for the sense of safety and care she cultivates. When she's not in the studio, you'll likely find her curled up with a good book or snuggling with her beloved dog.

Licensed in Oregon #22202 and Washington #MA 00015755

“Bonnie is far and away the best massage therapist I've ever had. She is gifted with strength and intuition, and I have never yet (in approximately twenty massages) been let down by her practice. The environment in her massage space is warm and peaceful. The massage table itself is the most comfortable I've been on, and her tools and tricks with sounds, scents, and setting make the massage even more serene. I continue to gift Bonnie's massages to friends and family and hear the same feedback from them, too: Bonnie is in a class of her own. 10/10!”

“I can't recommend Bonnie strongly enough! I've been seeing Bonnie for close to a decade now and can't imagine life without her. I initially saw Bonnie for an accute issue and found myself so impressed with her work, I just never quit booking appointments. The monthly bodywork she provides helps me manage my stress, and untangle all the muscles from said stress, as well as keep on top of my many pain points from various sports. Whether you have an injury in need of attention or are just looking or a relaxing feel good experience, Bonnie is THE BEST!”

“I have been seeing Bonnie twice monthly for a long time. She is always knowledgeable, attentive and professional. Her massages are deeply healing and effective but also nurturing and relaxing. Her space is beautiful and calming. I wholeheartedly recommend her practice to anyone looking for a quality massage therapist in Portland.”
