About your Practitioner 

Meet Barrett Welch, LMT#29457

The Heart Behind Sapphire Sun

Hello! I'm Barrett (she/her), a massage therapist based in Portland, Oregon, and I'm so glad you're here.

My intention is to create a grounding experience that helps you feel more present, connected, and at ease in your body.

I approach wellness through a holistic lens and believe the mind, body, and environment are deeply interconnected. By supporting the nervous system, my work creates space for your body to soften, unwind, and reconnect with its innate capacity for healing.

Each session is thoughtfully tailored to your needs and may incorporate a variety of techniques, drawing from both Eastern and Western traditions.

My path to massage therapy began through my own healing journey, where I experienced the transformative impact of bodywork alongside a long-standing yoga practice. Those experiences shaped the way I understand the body; not as something to fix, but as something to listen to.

Outside the treatment room, you'll usually find me at the yoga studio, creating art, dancing to live music with friends, sharing a delicious meal with my husband, exploring nature with my dog, or curled up with a good fantasy novel.

Inside the Studio

Located near East Burnside & 89th in Montavilla. Exact address provided after booking.

A Space to Land & Exhale

Nestled in Portland's Montavilla neighborhood, my home-based studio offers a warm, welcoming space to slow down.

Filled with art, plants, and thoughtful touches of color, the studio was designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Soft lighting, grounding textures, and a calm atmosphere invite your nervous system to settle. During golden hour, sunlight filters through the windows, casting soft rainbows across the room - a small bit of everyday magic.

Because the studio is located within my home, a cat (Sake) and a friendly young lab (Harper) also live here. Pets are always separated from the treatment room during sessions, and clients are welcome to say hello to Harper if they'd like.
