Xenana’s values reflect our culture:

Authenticity:

No matter what face you wear in the world, or what label you adopt at different times of day—professional, parent, spouse, friend— Xenana meets you as you are. 

Connection:

Connecting means something different to everyone. It can be about community, the chance to connect with others, or connecting with yourself in  new ways. 

Community: 

Xenana is built on a foundation of inclusion, conversation and opportunities. We thrive as a collective because we are always listening, trading ideas, and inviting others into our circle of care. 

Excellence:

You want your trip to spa to be nurturing, and to help you flourish in the world. Our practitioners and staff members go about their work with the utmost professional care. 

Commitment:

We are committed to our clients, our community, and our team. We support you with services that address your presenting issue or need, and nourishing you over time.

We’ve been treating our community since 2008.

After more than a decade as a center for healing in SE Portland, Xenana recognizes that what remains the same in our region is an active spirit, and a consciousness that focuses on health, wellness, and care.

Every day, we make ourselves available to you and your self-care needs.

Licensed Massage Therapists

Alyssa Black, she/her, LMT

Alyssa brings seasoned, attuned bodywork to every session, reading the body and responding with a nuance that creates real change without leaving you feeling beat up. Alyssa is especially gifted at working with the head, neck, and shoulders, she holds a graceful balance between therapeutic and deeply relaxing, wrapped in calm, present care. A wonderful fit for clients who want experienced, precise work that leaves them feeling truly understood.

Best for

  • Head, neck, and shoulder tension
  • Clients who want precise, controlled depth — real change without feeling worked over
  • Anyone who wants to feel truly read and responded to on the table
  • The balance of serious therapeutic work and a calm, present spa experience

Blue Wright, he/him, LMT

Blue brings something rare to the table: real strength paired with genuine softness. He’s our most powerful therapist for deep work — but power isn’t the whole story. He’s deeply tuned in, slow and deliberate in his pacing, and remarkably versatile, which means his deep tissue work never feels like force. It feels like precision you can actually relax into.

He has a particular gift for leg and hip work, and a range that lets him meet almost any body on the table — but where Blue truly shines is sustained, serious deep pressure for clients who want it. If you’re looking for the therapeutic value of a sports-level massage with the calm and care of a true spa experience, Blue is the one.

Best for

    • Deep, sustained pressure and serious therapeutic work
    • Leg and hip-focused sessions
    • Clients who want sports-massage depth without losing the spa experience
    • Anyone who likes a slow, tuned-in pace with real power behind it

Casey Carpenter, she/her, LMT

Casey is the therapist to see when what your body needs is a deep, true exhale. Her work is classic, fluid, and beautifully paced — a blend of strokes that stay deep enough to feel satisfying without ever pulling you back out of the calm she’s worked you into. She has an instinct for finding the right pressure and holding it there, so the relaxation lands fully and stays with you.

For clients who feel a little like Goldilocks about bodywork — not too firm, not too light, but just right — Casey is our recommendation. She creates the kind of session where your whole system settles and you leave genuinely restored.

Best for

    • Stress relief and nervous-system reset
    • Classic, flowing full-body relaxation
    • Clients who want skilled, settling work over deep corrective intensity
    • Anyone who’s particular about pressure and wants it dialed in

Grace Kerr, she/her, LMT

Grace is one of those therapists whose experience speaks for itself the moment you get on her table. Her work is incredibly thoughtful, precise, and effective, with a special strength in lymphatic bodywork and helping the body unwind deeply held tension patterns.

She has a way of working that creates real change while still feeling grounded, supportive, and never overdone. That balance is rare. Clients who work with Grace tend to stay with Grace, because her sessions consistently help them feel better in their bodies and support their wellbeing over time.

With decades of experience behind her, Grace brings both mastery and maturity to her work. She is an excellent fit for clients looking for skilled, consistent care that blends therapeutic results with a high-quality spa experience.

Laci Cochran, she/her, LMT

Laci creates an atmosphere of profound safety and ease, where your whole system is invited to let go. Her touch is broad, deep, and luxuriously nurturing — the kind of massage that soothes your nervous system and leaves you grounded, calm, and cared for. Clients often describe the experience as being lulled into a peaceful state, like drifting off to sleep in the backseat of the car as a kid.

Her skillful draping, intentional use of essential oils, and signature hot towel treatments elevate her work into a truly restorative ritual. With a wide range of approaches, she intuitively tailors each session to meet your needs, wrapping every detail in comfort and care.

Rachel Suen, she/her, LMT

Rachel brings purpose and versatility to the treatment room. Her geeky love of anatomy shows up in the way she methodically unravels tension and dysfunction. This strong knowledge of anatomy gives her the ability to target tension with precision, while her excellent communication style ensures you feel heard and cared for throughout your session.

Rachel is especially gifted at guiding clients in finding their ideal pressure — using helpful language that takes the guesswork out of the process — and then adjusting seamlessly based on feedback. Once you’ve had a few sessions with her, Rachel has an intuitive way of remembering and responding to exactly what your body needs.
