Owner - Maggie Seever Pollock
Maggie is the NEW OWNER of spa manzanita and member of our peaceful coastal community.
As I transition into my new role there is much to be grateful for, to learn, to explore and to cherish.
A series of “magic moments” led me to the Oregon coast, on a quest to nourish my soul and find joy in connection and community. I know so many others feel the same about this special place. My intention is that all who step through our door feel welcome when they walk in and serenity in body and spirit when they leave.
Below are words that spoke to me as I chose Manzanita for my next chapter.
I want to age like sea glass.
Smoothed by tides,
but not broken.
I want my hard edges to soften.
I want to ride the waves
and go with the flow.
I want to catch a wave
and let it carry me
to where I belong.
I want to be picked up
and held gently
by those who delight
in my well earned patina and
appreciate the changes I went
through to achieve that beauty.
I want to enjoy the journey
and always remember that if
you give the ocean something
breakable it will turn it into
something beautiful.
I want to age like sea glass.-Bernadette Noll

Barbara Rubin - Licensed Massage Therapist #5690
I bring a wealth of experience and a natural affinity for the art of massage and bodywork. My knowledge basis of Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, Acupressure, deep tissue massage and more informs the fluid, integrated style I have developed. My intent is to give each person the opportunity to experience the feeling of peace, balance and renewal that is possible when body and mind are relieved of pain and stress.
As a longtime Oregon resident I love everything about Oregon, and hope to explore its beauty from East to West. My favorite pastimes include gardening, hiking, beachcombing, and I would like to learn kayaking and maybe do some fishing.

I have background in reflexology, Swedish, reiki, myofascial release, deep tissue, and watsu massage. When I am meeting a client, it is important to me to be present and listen. My sessions provide a unique experience tailored to what it is you want to address. I believe in trust and comfort to achieve the best healing you can for your body, mind, and spirit.

Kristen Clearwater - Licensed Massage Therapist #26221
Originally, I trained in Vancouver Washington, as a 2000 graduate from Ashmead college. That is where I met my first Chinese Medicine Doctor, Stanek Z. He showed me how pressing in certain areas can stimulate deep healing. Over the decades, gratefully, I’ve studied with many renowned teachers such as Ali Longstreth, Christopher Ray, Marty Ryan and Noam Tyler. After attending East West School of Massage for continuing education, I soon found my style of healing, a blend of Traditional Thai work and Swedish techniques.
We focus on healing the entire body, instead of just working the muscles. I strive to maximize your comfort, using a blend of heat, pressure, pillows, positions and technique. My massage is both light and very deep at times, but it should never hurt! Using your breath and my education, we can access areas of stored pain in your body and get rid of it!
With yoga and Kangen water I continue to maintain my personal health in order to deliver the highest professional standards and techniques. I look forward to meeting you.
Kristen is joining Spa Manzanita as guest massage therapist. We are delighted to have her on our serene spa team! Kristen can be booked for massage from our website along with our other therapists, or directly.
Michael Burns - Licensed Massage Therapist #8333
I graduated from East West College in Portland, Oregon. My unique style integrates training in several Western and Eastern modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue and Trigger Point style massage, Myofascial, Sports and Connective Tissue Release. I believe we all contain the innate capability to heal and I use an intuitive approach to create the ideal environment for your body to unwind.
Through compassionate and careful listening I address physical and energetic issues, gently ushering your body toward its own natural healing abilities and opening up the potential for deep releasing of all kinds. I strive to make each session on my table meaningful for your life that day, guiding your body toward peace, balance and relaxation.

Reviews
From Our Clients
From the moment you walk through the door, you know this place is special with its calming and peaceful vibe. Maggie, the owner, was fabulous. We were three friends on a girl’s trip and this was one of our favorite experiences. Each of us thought our massage was exactly what we needed and asked for. I can’t recommend this spa highly enough. Just go—you deserve it and you won’t regret it.
