Why choose Yellow Hill, LLC?
Hello, my name is Anna Hill. I am the owner of the Yellow Hill massage studio. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2006. I graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, OR. At school, I specialized in deep tissue and trigger point therapy. I do not just give massages; I also get massages. In high school I was a year-round competitive athlete. I was a runner, swimmer, wrestler, and pole vaulter. I believe the reason I am still active today after all the damage I put my body through at that early age is from the dedicated regimen of monthly bodywork my mom pushed me to do, including both massage and chiropractic. I kept with that regimen throughout my life and the older I get the more important I realize my body work is. I am committed to feeling 45 when I’m 80, and dedicated bodywork is how I’m going to accomplish my goal. I deserve it. You deserve it.
As a society we spend so much money on “stuff” to make us feel better when what we all really need is an amazing monthly massage. You don’t build a pool when your house needs paint and your roof has a leak. We should not buy a pair of heels and a new dress when it hurts to get out of bed in the morning. Invest in your body’s house, invest in your health, invest in the path to a pain-free life.
As someone who has had more than three decades of massages, I can tell you that they were not all good. In fact, many were unbelievably bad, the therapist was not able to perform deep tissue, they talked the whole time about their problems, they failed to even work the areas I had specifically asked for. I left feeling ripped off, sad, and with the realization that I would be living with my pain for the next month until I could afford another massage.
I cannot guarantee that your pain will disappear after one treatment, but what I can guarantee is that I will listen to you and put 150% effort into making sure that at Yellow Hill you receive YOUR version of the best massage ever, EVERYTIME. You want to talk? We’ll talk. You want it deep? We’ll get deep. You want to be quiet, melt into the table and forget where you are? Your wish is my command. I love being a massage therapist. I love every single time someone tells me they had the best massage ever. Come to Yellow Hill. Come feel the difference. Let us give YOU the best massage ever.
There are four stages of healing that your massage therapist will take you through:
Click on the triangles to learn more about each topic.
Relief
In your first few sessions your massage therapist works with your specific symptoms to reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and relax overstressed nerves.
Correction
Once your pain has been addressed by the therapist, the treatment will begin to focus on the underlying issues.
Strengthening –
Your therapist will now focus on strengthening the tissue near the injury site, so that it may provide adequate support when the injury has healed. Weak tissue can lead to recurring problems.
Maintenance –
The goal of this final stage is to keep your body at its highest level of well-being and prevent the occurrence of new problems.
Revitalize Your Body
Our Services
Here at Yellow Hill, we hire elite massage therapists. Our therapists have years of experience and training to help you achieve your wellness goals. People of all ages and lifestyles can benefit from massage therapy, from professional athletes to homemakers, from construction workers to office staff. Massage offers a non-invasive, drug-free, and holistic approach derived from the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Swedish Massage
Increase circulation and promote relaxation.
This type of massage increases oxygen flow in the blood, which decreases toxins by releasing them from the muscles. The less metabolic waste in your muscles: the shorter your recovery time. Also, this massage will increase circulation without increasing strain on the heart. Swedish massage is great for decreasing stress, stimulating the skin and nervous system while promoting health and wellbeing.
Deep Tissue Massage
Release chronic tension and promote healing.
This massage technique is used to release the bodies chronic patterns of tension with slower, deeper strokes. It is aimed at loosening the stuck muscle fibers (adhesions and curtailments) while releasing the bodies deeply-held tension patterns.
Trigger Point Therapy
Alleviate pain and improve muscle function.
Applying pressure to specific points in the body that have become bound up thus increasing blood flow back to the area. This can help decrease pain by bringing more oxygen to the area and encourages the muscles to relax.
Youth Massage
Enhance well-being for young individuals.
Massage is beneficial at all ages including youth and adolescents. Young athletes and those suffering from anxiety and stress disorders will benefit from massage starting at a young age.
Prenatal Massage
Support mothers-to-be with specialized care.
You can start massage at any point during pregnancy, after the first trimester for those who have high-risk pregnancy, as well as any time after the birth during post-partum. Pre-natal and post-partum massage can help to relieve aches, joint pain and swelling from body changes, decrease depression and anxiety and improve labor outcomes. Massage through this time can alter hormone levels leading to improved cardiovascular health and mood regulation. We offer full body pregnancy pillows and breast pillows for your added comfort.
Pelvic Floor Massage
Address pelvic health and promote healing.
This is a specialized therapy that involves gentle manual techniques to address pelvic floor dysfunction, including chronic pain, incontinence, and sexual dysfunction, by relaxing, stretching, and strengthening tight pelvic floor muscles and thus improving circulation and helping advance healing to the area. This can be done by internal massage, external massage and gentle stretching and trigger point techniques. This can help to relieve pain, improve urinary and fecal continence, enhance sexual function as well as support pregnancy and postpartum recovery and promote overall pelvic health.

How do you get even more out of your therapy session?
Yellow Hill offers a selection of add-ons to enhance your massage experience for an additional fee. These include:
Aromatherapy
Add a little relaxing lavender or breathe more deeply to the scent of Eucalyptus during your massage session. Ask your therapist what the scent of the month is for a unique escape.
Cupping Therapy
This is a therapeutic technique using silicone cups to create a negative pressure over the skin lifting underlying soft tissue into the cup. This increases blood flow to the area bringing increased oxygen and accelerating healing. Anyone can benefit from cupping, but it is extremely beneficial in helping to treat tight muscles, scar tissue, fascial adhesions, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, decreasing toxic build up in tissue, and in releasing trigger points.
Himalayan Salt Stone Massage
Similar to hot stone massage this technique uses salt stones to warm the tissue and help melt away stress and tension. The positive salt ions received during this treatment help to ground and relax you; balance the central nervous system helping to improve your sleep and overall sense of wellbeing. Salt stones reduce signs of aging by gently exfoliating the skin leaving it looking and feeling silky and smooth.
Massage Face Rejuvenation
This is an invigorating, age-defying experience. Your therapist will apply a special oil to the face and neck to nourish and moisturize the skin. Then the skin will be gently warmed and exfoliated with Himalayan salt stones. Once warm, your therapist will use a special set of facial cups to increase the blood circulation to the face and neck which may help to relieve muscle tension, promote cellular repair and strengthen the skin, thus toning the chin, decreasing puffiness and minimizing fine lines, scars and wrinkles. Next, a Jade Fascial Roller and Gua Sha tool will be used to firm, brighten and relieve tension around the eyes, nose, and cheeks. This will visibly lift and contour the face, improving skin elasticity in seconds as well as promoting a brighter complexion and creating a natural radiance helping you to put your best face forward.
