About Diana...
I have been a massage therapist licensed in the state of Oregon for 15 years. I am extremely grateful for the fact that I get up every morning looking forward to my day and the people with whom I am blessed to interact. I continue to learn for and from my clients, and am honored to be a member of the healing team in fulfilling whatever goal each individual hopes to achieve.
I have an unlimited wonder for the design of nature. I believe that we are each a unique miracle, created in a field of vast intelligence. Spiritual beings on a human journey...One that involves challenges with opposing gravity, repetitive motion, poor diet, absorbing toxins, and dealing with myriad stresses: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. The results of these factors present uniquely in each individual. My job is to attempt to remove the impediments to the body’s natural tendency to be in balance, and help each person tune in to the “early warning signs” of distress and imbalance, particularly as it relates to neuromuscular/soft tissue issues. In the case of traumatic injury, massage therapy can help speed recovery and increase comfort during the healing process.
This year I am embarking on the study of nutrition (through the Nutritional Therapy Association and PCC) as a natural adjunct to my enthusiasm for eating good food and how that relates to health and well-being.
I am so happy to give Diana Hengerer, LMT a glowing recommendation. She has been working in my office for nine years and plans to expand her massage practice to include outside ventures. Diana is definitely a cut above both with her clinical skills and professional manner. She has a thirst for knowledge in her field which is reflected in the type of massage delivered. She is a spectacular combination of technical excellence and graceful presence. I alway feel confident referring my patients to her for both regional and full body massage.

As an aging jock trying to stay in shape, Diana's help to avoid - and sometimes, treat - injuries has been invaluable. Her experience in deep-tissue massage and her ability to zero in on sore spots have been a necessary part of my routine for years. I can't recommend her highly enough. And if you like canines, she has a couple of therapy dogs that make sessions a delight.

Diana has a gift for massage therapy. She seems to access some inner vast resource of knowledge and skill that guides her locating and responding to body tension and discomfort in ways that enable release and healing. At least, such has been the outcome for me.

I consider myself fortunate to have been referred to Diana Hengerer as part of my treatment after an automobile accident. Her skills, warmth, compassion, and caring nature made her an essential part of my recuperation. She decreased my pain levels and increased my range of motion with each visit. Her finely-tuned, intuitive sense of what my body needed provided me with significant pain relief and was essential to my healing process. Diana is a professional; she listens carefully to input and closely monitors any feedback. I have subsequently referred relatives and friends to Diana for both therapeutic work and general relaxation/stress reduction massages. Thank you Diana, for your soothing, healing touch.

I graduated with honors from Heartwood Institute in Garberville, CA with over 800 hours of training. I chose Heartwood for its balanced curriculum between hard science and the art, the heart, the breath and spirit of bodywork. Since then I have continued to take classes in many related fields, including ONSEN technique, and becoming a Certified Neuromuscular Therapist through the Paul St. John program. After nine years of clinical experience at the Holistic Health Clinic in Beaverton, OR, I went into full time private practice at my current location in the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego, OR.
