About Me

Meg Olson

Licensed Massage Therapist

I grew up in Port Townsend before heading to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to attend culinary school. After earning an A.S. degree in Culinary Arts, I spent a year working as a private chef on a yacht in the Caribbean. On a visit home, I met my husband, and together, we embarked on an adventure—living and working in New Zealand for nine months before returning to the U.S., with detours through Thailand and India. Eventually, we decided to settle in Port Townsend to build our life and family.

After the birth of our daughter, Sonia, I felt drawn to the healing arts and pursued massage therapy. In 2012, I graduated from the Port Townsend School of Massage and soon after, I founded Port Townsend Massage & Wellness.

My Approach to Massage

My goal with every client is to facilitate deep relaxation so the body can naturally unwind and integrate the deeper therapeutic work of massage. By blending various massage styles, I help activate the parasympathetic nervous system—encouraging a profound sense of relaxation and restoration. With a slow, intentional pace and focused touch, I create space for the body to release tension with ease.

My Training & Specialties

Since 2012, I have studied and incorporated multiple techniques into my practice:

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi & Mana Lomi® – I have trained in a blend of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi styles, incorporating continuous-flow massage, stretches, and joint mobility inspired by Temple Lomi Lomi . Additionally, I studied Mana Lomi® under Barbara Heard, in the lineage of Dr. Maka’ala Yates, D.C., and Aunty Margaret Machado. A deep but gentle approach. This traditional Hawaiian technique works with the mana (life force energy) of the body, mind, and soul.

Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage – Since 2012, I have been an Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage therapist, certified through DeepFeet Bar Therapy. This technique utilizes overhead bars to allow me to apply deep, soothing pressure using my feet, leveraging body weight and gravity for a uniquely therapeutic experience.

Reiki Master (Usui & Karuna Reiki) – As a Usui and Karuna Reiki Master, I practice energy healing using universal life force energy. Reiki is deeply relaxing, balancing the body’s energy and promoting emotional and physical well-being. This gentle modality is performed fully clothed and is beneficial for anyone seeking a peaceful, restorative experience.

At Port Townsend Massage & Wellness, my mission is to provide deeply relaxing, intuitive, and restorative bodywork tailored to each client’s needs. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, pain management, or energetic balance, I look forward to supporting your wellness journey.
