Starside Healing Arts

I have been a client of Charles for almost 4 years now with about 1 – 4 visits a month. Seeing him regularly has been one of the greatest gifts I have given to myself.
He is an integral person on my Team. My Team consists of: a Chiropractor, a Therapist, my Best friend and a handful of Yoga Instructors all supporting me succeed in whatever I am pursuing.
Lying on his table has really become more of a meditation for me then just getting a massage. My body feels great, but he really sends back into the world feeling much more centered and aligned mentally. He clears energy that may be getting stuck or blocked inside.
One time I showed up feeling like I was starting to get sick and having the worst headaches of my entire life. After 1 hour of accupuncture and massage he had completely turned the situation around and healed everything I had complained about.
Charles also has an incredible ability of knowing just what I need often from my little or flaky explanations. Once he starts working on me he always seems where to go, how to take care of it and when to move on. I have learned a lot and gotten much deeper into my body. This has helped me siginficantly deal with my daily stress and understand yoga and exercising more.
Starside Healing also accepts my health insurance, which has subsidized this relationship over the years. I just have to pay my co-​pay ($ 20) and give Charles a tip. He follows up with the insurance company to collect the rest of his payment.

I’ve been giving my wife the gift of massage therapy by Starside Healing Arts for many years and it’s the best thing in the world. She has some body issues and relieving the pain for her (even if only for a few days) is one of the best things I can do to make her happy. I don’t have the hand strength or energy to do it myself, so it’s great that there are professionals out there who do.
Charles is excellent and quite professional. His skills and knowledge of his craft are exemplary. He probably understands her physical issues better than anyone and does what he can within his practice to make them better. He can even do acupuncture, which is sometimes just what she needs to relieve cramps.
My wife is a definite massage lover, and will get one any chance she can. That said, Charles is the one she keeps coming back to – the others are just on a whim. She’s there once a week and for at least two days is feeling better.
To understand how much she appreciates his care and hard work, she drives from Vancouver to downtown Portland through rush hour traffic to see him.
She would write her own review, but hey, I’m the writer in the family.

I have been visiting Charles Grey and Starside Healing for several years.
I am always surprised how intuitive he is in where the stress, tightness, etc. of my body is and can adapt to working on those specific issues.
I had several medical conditions last year and he was able to work around them and provide the appropriate work to the areas most needed.
You will find his office warm, inviting, and he always respects your privacy and addresses all concerns you have before your session.
I am always feeling better when I leave and I cannot stress how much I recommend Charles Grey and Starside Healing.
Treating yourself to a massage is a must and we all deserve the best when seeking treatment.

Making a commitment to be well & spend some quality time with yourself sounds like a great idea. In practice, however, most of us put this off. We are busy people doing busy things. All the time. Every day. Then we wonder how come we feel so tense, irritable, stressed out, and just not our best. Guess what? Charles Gray at Starside Healing Arts knows all this. He gets it. He knows most of us barely make time for lunch let alone a massage, yet he also knows the benefits, increased productivity, sense of balance, and myriad other positive results when people come in & allow time to become deeply relaxed. I’m one of them!
For people who’ve read my reviews, you know the drill ~ I have 3 sons, The Big Man works out of state, I have a small business, & I also work part time. I am booked! Yet, I make time for seeing Charles. He intuits comfort levels, makes me feel completely at ease, will work on my neck if that’s what I need for the entire session, and his office feels like a cozy nest, to boot. I’m sold! My plan is to give myself a massage at the very least once a month. Spring is coming & I do not want to spend it stressed out! You will not be disappointed here. I trust Charles Gray & Starside Healing Arts &, if this is further proof of the high quality of Charles’ abilities, my 15 year old son was experiencing pain in his knees. He is a X Country runner who is a typical 15 year old boy. I urged him to go see Charles. He did. He wants to go again. ‘Nuff said!
