Valerie Henderson is a licensed massage therapist who brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to helping clients feel better in their bodies. With a background in Exercise Science and hands-on experience in sports massage settings, Valerie blends anatomical knowledge with intuitive, client-centered care.

Valerie completed the Licensed Massage Therapy program at Central Oregon Community College and has worked extensively with clients experiencing muscle tension, overuse injuries, and movement-related discomfort. Her primary specialties include deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, and sports massage, though you don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from her work. These techniques are effective for anyone dealing with chronic tension, tight hips, leg discomfort, or specific areas of pain.

Valerie is especially skilled at focused, therapeutic work on the hips, legs, and lower body, and she enjoys helping clients address injuries or long-standing patterns of discomfort. Each session is fully customized — no two massages are the same — and tailored to meet the individual needs and goals of the client, whether that’s pain relief, improved mobility, or overall body balance.

When asked what she loves most about massage, Valerie shares that people genuinely want to be there — and she finds meaning in offering care that is both practical and impactful. Clients often appreciate her attentive presence, targeted approach, and ability to combine therapeutic depth with a supportive, calming experience.

Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Valerie moved to Bend at a young age and loves being active outdoors. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, running, listening to music with her partner, and spending time with her cat, Molly — who is especially fond of bird-watching videos.
