Client Reviews
"Brandon is amazing. This is possibly the best massage I had ever. And I have had a LOT of massages. Brandon really listened to my needs & addressed them in our time. Mostly myofascial release. He has a grounded, calming energy & gentle strong touch. I booked 60mins but he advised that he had extra time so I got a 90min, which was exactly what I needed."
"I strained my shoulder and neck and was having difficulty sleeping from the pain. I was amazed that after 1 massage with Brandon, the pain was greatly diminished and mobility almost completely recovered. Brandon's patient, fluid touch allows the body to heal gently, and deeply. I sensed that he was slowly 'unlocking' the injury and tension on multiple layers of muscle, allowing for healing to take place. Definitely recommend!"
"I started seeing Brandon Benjamin in Spring of last year and he never disappoints. Brandon has outstanding professionalism and his hands are magic. I couldn't ask for a better massage. I've sent friend after friend to him and they all say the same thing. Go for more than an hour - it's so worth it."
"I booked a massage with Brandon, which was such a great experience from the simplicity of scheduling to the quality of treatment. I really appreciated the use of heat packs, Brandon's ability to identify my focus areas, and how he incorporated those areas into a flowing full-body treatment. I saw immediate improvement in my physical and emotional well-being."
"Brandon was a miracle worker. This was one of the best two hours of my life. Brandon listened and responded expertly. He's warm, genuine and very skilled."
"Brandon was able to reduce the stress and tension in my shoulders and I fell asleep a few times - which is rare for me! I plan to see him again."
"I received a really great massage from Brandon yesterday. I was really knotted up and in a bit of pain when I arrived. Brandon was very careful not to use too intensive of pressure when he started and by the end of my massage, my muscles were much looser and I stood a bit taller, really! I highly recommend!"
"Brandon's massage was wonderful and just what I needed after weeks of sore neck and shoulders. Would recommend to anyone!"
"I was rested emotionally, and physically after receiving massage from Brandon. If you like deep pressure, he is the one that offers what your body needs!!!"
"Brandon was great. He was very kind and tailored the massage around some problem areas I had. Would go back again."
"I've been going to Gaealana for over a year now and could not be happier! From the ease of online booking to the whole relaxing and revitalizing experience of being there, it is an absolute treat from start to finish. Brandon's fluid and attentive massage left my whole body and spirit recharged and excited to come back in. I cannot recommend this place enough--the entire staff are miracle workers!"
"Brandon is pretty awesome. He was very attentive and he took the time to find out exactly what i wanted the massage was very soothing. I highly recommend him. I'll be going back for sure."
"Brandon is great - he really listened to me about the areas where I needed relief and provided just that."
"Brandon, is very good. He was respectful of my body, and gentle yet firm with his technique. Exactly what I needed. Thank you for your wonderful massage."
"Very easy to book an appointment at Gaealana. I booked an deep tissue/Swedish session with Brandon. Besides being a very nice and caring individual, he was obviously a competent therapist who took the time to understand my goals for massage therapy and what problem area I had. Very deliberate application of excellent pressure. Highly recommended."
"Brandon is a terrific therapist. He is warm, caring and very intuitive. Every massage I get is slightly different as he intuits my particular needs at the time. That is not to say he doesn't address particular issues that I articulate. He has done great work with a repetitive motion shoulder injury that was mostly healed but would still bother me from time to time. After each visit it feels much better not only for the rest of the day but for the rest of the week as well. The other characteristic of Brandon's work is how fluid his massage techniques are. The massage never feels compartmentalized but naturally moves from technique to the next....from one part of your body to the next in a natural rhythm. I can't recommend him enough and even more so since he is virtually the only massage therapist in town that will do a 2 hour massage."
"Brandon provides a excellent massage, so much so I just purchased a package of 10 sessions from him! Brandon's knowledge of the muscular system is proven each time I see him. He's accommodating, personable, professional and is truly interested in my results. His space is clean, peaceful and private."
"I have suffered of chronic back pain for many years; over the years I have had quite a few massages, but very few GOOD massages. I've been seeing Brandon for the past few months and I can say that he has brought some relieve to my suffering. Brandon is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable and makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. Thank you Brandon!"
"Brandon is a unique talent! He has a wonderful way of combining deep tissue and relaxing Swedish modalities. He is kind and courteous and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you first meet him. You will leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and wanting to return! I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for one of the best massage therapist Portland has to offer!"
"Brandon is absolutely fantastic. I came to him after a bad back injury and he helped me feel much better. He is a very attuned, compassionate, and intuitive therapist. His massage space is also lovely. I know I'll be back - even when I don't have an injury. Highly recommended."
"My previous massage therapist moved, so I had to find a new one. Fortunately, I found Brandon. My massage was relaxing and relieved a lot of aches/tension from sports/work. It was very therapeutic, for mind and body. I also appreciate his environmental consciousness. Looking forward to more massages from Brandon when I am stiff/stressed."
"I was excited to discover this hidden gem and will definitely be back for more treatments. Brandon's touch is gentle and strong, and helped my injured back feel better after just one session. I appreciated the heated table as well. The space is beautiful and clean."
"Brandon is a fabulous massage therapist. He has an understanding of the body unlike any other massage therapist I have seen in in my 20 plus years of having regular monthly massages. I feel like I have a new body every time I've been to see Brandon....and the stress and tension that he is able to release is absolutely nothing short of miraculous. I will never hesitate to refer others to Brandon. His work as a massage therapist is phenomenal. Thank you Brandon!"
"Amazing! I have gone from barely being able to walk to being active all day with minimal pain. My whole body feels like a restriction has been lifted and life is flowing again. I felt Brandon's body and mind listening to my body and felt very blessed to be the recipient of his attention. I feel cared for."
