Jenelle Woodlief, Licensed Massage Therapist

About Us

Jenelle Woodlief is a licensed massage therapist and bodyworker with over 14 years of experience specializing in chronic pain, nervous system regulation, injury recovery, and complex tension patterns. Based in Portland, Oregon, she provides therapeutic bodywork that integrates structural assessment, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, Thai-inspired movement, abdominal bodywork, and trauma-informed care.

Her approach is rooted in the understanding that pain is often influenced by more than muscles alone. Chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, postural adaptations, injury history, movement patterns, and long-standing tension can all contribute to persistent discomfort and reduced function. Jenelle works with clients to address these underlying contributors while helping restore mobility, resilience, and overall well-being.

Jenelle is particularly known for her work with chronic neck and shoulder tension, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, low back and hip pain, stress-related tension, motor vehicle accident recovery, and nervous system overwhelm. Her sessions combine targeted therapeutic techniques with a thoughtful, individualized approach that considers the interconnected relationship between the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, breath, and daily life stressors.
