About Nancy Doss, LMT, GTS
With nearly 18 years of experience as a massage therapist, I bring a detailed, individualized approach to every session. My professional experience includes previously working in a physical therapy setting, where I developed an appreciation for the role that skilled soft-tissue work can play alongside other forms of healthcare.
My professional experience also includes serving as a lead therapist at a high-volume therapeutic massage practice, where I worked alongside a large team of massage therapists and helped support clinical consistency and professional development within the studio. In addition to my work as a lead therapist, I was invited to travel regionally to provide continuing education and hands-on instruction to other licensed massage therapists at affiliated locations.
Today, I provide customized massage therapy tailored to each client’s goals and preferences. Sessions may range from focused therapeutic massage and deep tissue work to relaxation-oriented massage, and utilizing specialized techniques such as Graston Technique®, Trigger Point Massage, Cupping, and Intraoral Massage.
Whether you’re looking for focused work on areas of muscular tension and pain or simply want time to relax and recharge, I am committed to providing thoughtful and professional massage therapy that's tailored specifically to you.
As an avid rock climber and mountaineer, I have personally experienced the physical demands of strenuous athletic pursuits, including summiting Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood. Combined with the physical demands of my profession, these experiences have given me firsthand insight into the importance of caring for your body before, during, and after demanding activity. I understand how valuable massage therapy can be as part of a broader approach to recovery, managing muscular tension and discomfort, and maintaining comfortable movement.

Curious about Graston Technique®?
I’m a Graston Technique Specialist (GTS), and I’m excited to offer this specialized instrument-assisted technique as part of my massage practice.
Graston Technique® uses specially designed stainless-steel instruments along with hands-on massage techniques to work with the body’s soft tissues. The instruments provide a different way of applying pressure and engaging with areas of the body that may feel tight, restricted, or difficult to address with hands-on techniques alone.
Graston Technique® can be incorporated into massage sessions when focused work is desired, including work around areas of muscular tension, reduced soft-tissue mobility, or general discomfort associated with physical activity and everyday demands. It can be used as part of a customized massage session and may be especially appealing to people who enjoy a more focused approach to their soft-tissue work.
My goal is not to make your massage uncomfortable or to force change in your tissues. We’ll work within your comfort level and adjust the technique and pressure throughout your session.
