About
Generating comfort within your own skin.
Transcend Bodywork in close-in southeast Portland, Oregon was established in 2000 by Aaron Gustafson LMT, CAMT II. Aaron has lived in the Pacific Northwest his whole life, enjoying the forests, mountians, and waters. He enjoys adventures with his wife Rachel, daughter Chloe and son Kadan. You’ll often find Aaron snowboarding on Mt Hood in the Winter, or cruising around on wheeled things or paddleboards in the Summer.
The Bodywork Aaron practices is called Technesoma (translation: ‘Craft-Body’). Technesoma is a unique blend of manual therapy techniques utilizing Myofascial Touch and Creative Visualization Mind-Body techniques, with influences from Pain-Free Deep Tissue Massage, Shamanism, Reiki, and Kung Fu. Aaron further developed this blend into self-care and bodywork classes known as Rooted Movement. Technesoma therapy and Rooted Movement offer a safe environment for resetting relationships with physical suffering and exploring the personal emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth that often accompany physical healing.
