Founder of this office and this style of dual emphasis massage, blending relaxation and therapeutic work. Kes enjoys engaging with a wide range of populations and conditions, and takes special joy in mentoring talented new LMTs. It is her hope to be able to help bloom a community of massage therapists whose dual emphasis work increases access to effective care. When not practicing or mentoring the next generation of LMTs at Synergy, she can be found dancing, making music or hiking around Eugene's buttes.

After years in the culinary arts, and craving a career where he could make more of a difference in people’s lives, Doug deeply appreciates his work as an LMT. He believes in the regulating power of positive, unconditionally supportive touch, and thinks that everyone should have access to such. He appreciates being able to serve a more diverse community here, and cherishes the connections he gets to make doing this work. Despite Doug’s years in professional kitchens, he still cooks at home with zeal–though he despises doing dishes. When not easing aches and range of motion concerns at Synergy, he can be found enjoying his voluminous record collection, riding his bike around town, going to movies, or making collages.

Working in caregiving inspired Brianna to want to help people improve themselves holistically. She loves working with everyone, but especially enjoys being able to massage working class people who don’t typically get to experience that kind of care. She is especially well known here for her lumbar and hip mobility techniques, as well as her deep tissue work. When not fixing sore hips or providing stellar scalpwork, Brianna spends time hiking all over the state, gardening, cooking and caring for her two orange kitties, Lazlo and Juno.

With a background in reproductive healthcare access, in-home care, and hospice volunteering, Becca believes in honoring peoples' bodily autonomy, and offering care with dignity at every stage of life. They particularly love working with older folks and the LGBTQ+ community, but all are welcome! Their work is marked by exceptionally smooth transitions that help those in their care feel deeply supported. Becca lives with their spouse and elderly cat, and loves fantasy and science fiction.

Patricia began her journey as a massage therapist in 1994, after graduating from a program in Seattle. However, her career took a pause as her small family grew swiftly into a large one. After 30 years of lavishing care on her five kids, she was delighted to be able to refresh her knowledge in LCC’s robust program, and once again revisit her love of providing massage therapy. Patricia has dual training in yoga, and a passion for helping others feel and move well in their bodies. While happy to help all, she especially shines in her deep tissue work, and is swiftly gaining a reputation here for her wonderfully precise hip and neck work.
