🌱 Please help us welcome Victoria to Breathe!🌱

Victoria (she/they) is dual licensed as an Esthetician and Massage Therapist offering holistic skincare and bodywork sessions that support both the skin and nervous system. Their work blends therapeutic touch with plant-based care and a trauma-informed approach.

Here are a few words from Victoria about themself:

Outside of my treatment room you can usually find me playing with plants in my apothecary, tinkering in my craft studio, or harvesting herbs to make medicine. I love working with my hands — beading, creating ritual tools, and bringing beauty and intention into everyday life.

I’m also deeply rooted in community life here in Portland. I spend a lot of time helping organize gatherings, holding grief spaces, and cackling with friends at q***r events around town.

I feel really honored to do this work and I’m excited to be part of the Breathe community. I look forward to meeting you ✨

Use the link in bio to request a session with Victoria on Tuesdays or Fridays! Facials, bodywork, a combo of the two, waxing…the list goes on. You can click the about section of our website to real more details about their work. 🌱🌱🌱

Please help us welcome Mikaela Fish! Mikaela will be at Breathe Saturdays and Sundays starting 2/21. She is dual licensed as an Esthetician and Massage Therapist and will offer holistic skincare and bodywork+facial combo treatments. Read below for an intro from Mikaela, and scroll through the photos to get to know her better. We’re so excited to have her join our lil crew! 💞

I’m someone who loves to travel, be outside, host cozy gatherings, laugh at the little things, and spend time with my partner and our animals (scroll to see my dog, Cookie!). I’m happiest creating, whether that’s through art, cooking, dancing, or crafting up personalized skin treatments.

I grew up in the woods of Alaska, where I developed a deep respect for nature-both its beauty and its harshness-and an appreciation for its medicinal and healing properties. That relationship continues to inspire my skincare practice. The more I learn about how botanicals interact with our skin, the more I believe healthy skin care is about harmony and balance. I am a lifelong learner and always striving for new ways to strengthen my practice and deepen my understanding.

I also weave my massage background into every service, working with deeper layers to release jaw, head, and facial tension: melting old patterns, moving stagnation, and opening space for change and healing. I love being able to do this work and I look forward to meeting you ✨

Please help us welcome our new esthetician, Cherie!

Cherie will be with Breathe on Sundays and Mondays, her facials are supremely relaxing and leave you glowing. She can include shiatsu/acupressure facial massage into any session, be sure to ask for that!

*scroll for a pic of her cutie pup, Cirrus*

🌴The rest of September, mention this post and take $10 off an hour facial or $15 off 90 mins! 🌴

Cherie Johnson is a licensed aesthetician and graduate of the Portland Aesthetics Institute, where she received hands-on training in advanced skincare treatments and client-focused wellness practices. With a deep passion for helping others feel confident and radiant in their own skin, Cherie brings both skill and heart to esthetics.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Cherie first developed a love for natural beauty at a young age. Her focus on wellness and caring for others are rooted in the lessons taught by her grandmother, a vegan chef and a naturalist, in the kitchen and outdoors. She has held roles in every aspect of the beauty and skincare industry, from creation and manufacture of skincare products to work in spas and salons. Cherie believes skincare is more than just appearance—it’s about self-care, confidence, and well-being. Whether performing customized facials, creating treatment plans, or offering product recommendations, Cherie strives to create a safe, relaxing space where clients feel heard, cared for, and empowered.

Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, reading, and spending as much time near the water as possible—swimming or simply soaking up the sun.

We’re so happy to welcome back Sarah. Ushering in the summer and the sunshine, as she’s known to do! Sarah is still proficient at the profoundly relaxing, restorative work that you love her for. And her skill for therapeutic and deep tissue are unmatched. She has also now added Thai massage into her repertoire (see slide two). You can book traditional Thai mat massage with her, and we will also be adding a table version that’s an infusion of Thai and her other styles.

🌿 Meet Betsy, our newest LMT!🌿

Betsy’s passion for holistic health and wellness blossomed through her own journey to a clear mind, a nourished body, and a more mindful spirit. She discovered that achieving balance starts with honoring and taking care of the body. Betsy deeply respects the natural wisdom the body holds and believes that every individual is worthy of reconnecting with their own healing power. She is here to support you in reclaiming that connection and restoring balance.

Betsy’s connection to nature is at the heart of her healing approach. She believes that reconnecting with the natural world can help with disembodiment, foster greater self-awareness and improve overall well-being. Through her work, Betsy encourages clients to rediscover the grounding and patient energy of nature, drawing on its cycles and flow as a guide to restore balance and wholeness. See the carousel for some Betsy in nature delightfulness.

When she’s not practicing massage therapy, you can find Betsy immersed in her latest knitting project, enchanted by the trees and moss of the PNW forests, sunbathing in the summertime, baking a tasty treat, or just enjoying the sweet simplicities of life.

She is truly excited and pleased to be a part of the Breathe team, and we are so excited to share her sweet, calming energy with all of you.

Betsy will be at Breathe Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays- click the link in our bio to book with her. ♥️🌿♥️🌿♥️🌿
