Vancouver, Washington’s Most Respected Massage Therapist

My name is Teresa and I’d like to welcome you to Body Effects Massage. The goal at our salon and spa is to treat each client with respect. This includes creating a treatment designed specifically to address your individual bodywork needs. Call today and find out how we can get you on your way to a healthier, more active lifestyle by reducing sore, tight muscles, increasing your immune response and reducing stress.

I have been practicing massage professionally since 2008. I graduated from Asmead College of Massage in Vancouver, Washington on the Dean’s List for both academics and attendance where I studied Massage and Spa Therapies. My career started in a lovely day spa but I soon realized I wanted the freedom of my own practice where my individuality could better serve my clients.

I consider my style of massage to be “relaxing treatment”. I feel very strongly that no one should leave a massage feeling battered but that they should feel relieved of muscle tensions, balanced and energized. I enjoy mixing different massage modalities to create a session as unique as my client, structured to their goals for each massage session.

I am a Level 1 Reiki Practitioner and plan to further my studies in that modality.

In addition to being a licensed massage practitioner, I teach classes at Everest College of Massage in Vancouver (formerly Ashmead). Not only does this help to keep me motivated, it is also a great way to encourage the next generation of practitioners and honor the great instructors who have helped me.

Thanks for visiting!

Teresa Bonawitz,
