Amber Schmidt, BA LMT

Amber is a highly skilled massage therapist with sophisticated knowledge of the human body. Guided by the principle that palpation is data, she takes an investigative approach to uncovering the root causes of dysfunction—not just where pain presents, but why it exists. Her ability to observe subtle tissue cues allow her to offer pragmatic and effective treatment plans that restore movement, ease tension, and enhance overall function.

Amber’s massage treatments stem from rigorous academic study and experiential application. Amber earned her license in massage therapy in 2024 from COCC in Bend, OR. There, she learned various techniques and insight from an array of practitioners. She received her BA in bioarchaeology in 2013 from CSULB in CA. She spent hours in osteology and anatomy labs, and was recruited to work at the National Museum of the History of Transylvania in Cluj-Napoca, RO. Amber participated in the skeletal processing and reconstruction as well as post-excavation osteological lab analysis of a Bronze Age people known as the Noua. Her research provided insight to the correlation between the human skeleton and repetitive movements and lifestyle. During her yoga instruction certification (2019-2020), Amber refined her skill with kinesiology and integrated how muscles, fascia, and breath collaboration affect our bodies. Amber believes that all of her past experience has seamlessly enriched her massage practice.

In Amber’s practice, massage is more than a passive experience—it is a powerful tool. She integrates her wisdom of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems into every session. Instinctive discernment allows her to adapt treatments in real-time; each client receives personalized care that directly addresses their needs— providing intuitive care with masterful thought.
