amma therapy
integrated healing for every body
What is AMMA Therapy?
Amma Therapy is a lineage-based form of Korean bodywork that begins with listening to your body's wisdom through pulse diagnosis. Amma means "push-pull," and that's exactly what I do - using gentle, circular pressure along your body's energy pathways (meridians) to help release tension and restore your vital energy flow, or "Qi." Each session combines traditional Chinese medicine techniques with deep tissue work to address both physical discomfort and energetic blocks.
Whether you need focused attention on a specific area or overall rebalancing, we'll find the right approach for your body. Think of it as a conversation between my hands and your body's natural healing wisdom - where tension melts away, energy flows freely, and you can feel more at home in your being.

about misty
I’m Misty Fall (they/them). In my Amma practice in Portland, Oregon, I welcome people from all backgrounds. Whether you identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, fat, neurodiverse, or live with chronic pain and complex health issues, your whole self is welcome here. I tailor each session to meet you exactly where you are, nurturing and revitalizing not just the physical, but also the mental and emotional elements that make up your complete sense of wellbeing. My intention is to create a space where every person feels seen, valued, comfortable, and heard.
