Oregon LMT #13605

Jessica Vincent graduated from the only COMTA accredited massage school in Portland: East West College for the Healing Arts, where she studied Swedish Massage Techniques. Immediately after receiving her license she started working at the Pregnancy Place and found she loved the specialized work.

Jessica went to the The Oregon School of Massage to further her training in Pregnancy Massage, Massage During Labor, and Post Partum Massage. She plans to expand her knowledge in this specialized field by adding Pre-Natal Thai Massage and Pregnancy Reflexology. After receiving a Thai Massage, Jessica realized the importance of stretching and quickly added Thai Massage to her list of modalities.
