Celebrating Human Bodies Through Wellness
I'm here to support you in connecting with the wisdom your body is already holding
My approach to your care
My business is located inside Blinnergy - a unique wellness center in Woodinville, WA.
In addition to my massage offerings, you can workout with or without a trainer in the powerlifting gym, receive corrective acne treatments and other facial services in the med-spa, and leave with a fresh hair cut from the barber shop.
is collaborative and client-centered.
You will guide me by sharing where you're feeling pain, tension, or restriction. Using a variety of techniques, I will take the lead in creating an environment that helps your nervous system feel safe, supported, and ready to relax and release.
I honor that not all pain is "bad".
Pain and inflammation are natural responses in the body’s process of healing. By tuning into these signals, we can support the body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance.
With that said, I am not a "no pain, no gain" style bodyworker. If my pressure is activating your sympathetic nervous system, aka the 'fight or flight' response, I believe this limits the healing capability of our work together.
Your verbal and non-verbal feedback will be respected. We might find areas that make you say, "wow! I didn't know I was holding tension there"
MY offerings
60 min. Therapeutic Massage
60 minute massage treatments can be customized to address your full body, upper body only, or lower body only. A variety of modalities including deep tissue, myofascial release, compression, stretching, manual traction, and other therapeutic techniques will be used to reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, increase range of motion, and support nervous system regulation.

Pregnancy massage offers targeted relief and relaxation tailored to the unique needs that come with growing a human! Specialized bolsters and pillows are used for optimal comfort. A doctor's note is required for high-risk pregnancies to ensure your safety.
90 min. Therapeutic Massage
90 minute massage treatments can be customized to address your full body, with the option to highlight one or two focused problem areas. A variety of modalities including deep tissue, myofascial release, compression, stretching, manual traction, and other therapeutic techniques will be used to reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, increase range of motion, and support nervous system regulation.
Complimentary Add-Ons
Massage Cupping, Guided Breath Work, Intra-Oral Massage, and an array of herbal infused oils can be added to any Therapeutic Massage treatment free of charge. Some add-ons are not available for Pregnancy Massage treatments due to contra-indications.
Through my yoga practice, I was introduced to the human body's ability to heal through movement and I became fascinated with the mind-body connection. This interest inspired me to pursue training in therapeutic massage. Continuing to learn about the body's capacity for change has allowed me to partner with my clients in acheiving their wellness goals.
My foundational massage education was completed in 2022 at Bellevue Massage School.
Prior to studying bodywork, I obtained my Associates Degree in Business from Cascadia College.
When I am not working, I am passionate about appreciating the natural beauty of the PNW.
Thank you for connecting with me!

Client Testimonials
"Payton is highly skilled and professional and she took time to understand my needs and preferences before beginning the session. After the session, I felt rejuvenated both physically and mentally. My muscles felt noticeably looser, and I had a greater sense of overall relaxation. Overall, my experience with massage therapy was excellent. The combination of skilled technique, calming environment, and personalized care made it a truly beneficial and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to alleviate muscle tension."

"I highly recommend Connected Breath & Bodywork for anyone looking for a high quality and professional massage. Payton is a fantastic massage therapist - she made me feel so comfortable during my massage, and gave me some great insights into where I was holding tension in my body that I didn't realize before. She also incorporated some amazing cupping into my session, which was life-changing! Thank you for everything!"
