Owner - Maggie Seever Pollock

Maggie Seever PollockA 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.

Assistant Spa Manager / Licensed Esthetician - Aubry Andrews

I’m Aubry, and I’m honored to join the Spa Manzanita team in a dual role as both Assistant Spa Manager and Licensed Esthetician.

I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, peaceful environment and believe in the power of authenticity, connection, and inclusivity. Whether I’m assisting you at the front desk or providing a customized facial, my goal is to help you feel seen, valued, and cared for.

As a lifelong Oregonian, nature-especially water-has always been a grounding and rejuvenating force in my life so I am thrilled with the opportunity to spend a great deal of time beside the ocean.

I’m excited for this new chapter in my life’s story, and I look forward to growing within this space and connecting with each of you.

Bailey Pitts - Licensed Massage Therapist #28882

Bailey is joining Spa Manzanita this Summer as a Guest Massage Therapist. We’re delighted to have her talents at our spa!

Bailey is a graduate of East West College of the Healing Arts with an interest in movement, Ayurvedic theory, and craniosacral techniques. She is interested in making space for your body to move comfortably through the world. Her bodywork career began as a student of yoga, eventually receiving her 200-hour yoga teaching certificate at Portland Community College in 2022. These studies have inspired her life’s mission; to create space for investigation, sensation, and to feel as in your body as often as possible.

When she’s not massaging, she is bikepacking in the most beautiful spaces the Pacific Northwest has to offer and plays the electric bass in a band with her husband.

Bailey can be booked for massage from our website along with our other massage therapists.

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.

Barbara can be booked from our website along with our other team members or directly.

Cynthia Saylor - Licensed Massage Therapist #28605

Endlessly fascinated by the brain and body’s potential for healing and resilience, Cynthia found her way to the practice of massage, in large part, because of the benefits she experienced as a recipient of therapeutic bodywork over the course of her previous career and during recovery from various injuries and surgeries. 

A first session with Cynthia in the spa environment will typically include a brief goal-setting conversation followed by a basic assessment of muscle tone and areas of tension or restriction and then a customized massage that blends breathwork, relaxation (Swedish) massage, myofascial release, and Thai massage techniques.

Cynthia is joining Spa Manzanita for Summer 2025 from Spa Brasada at Brasada Ranch in the high desert of Central Oregon. Prior to moving to Bend, she lived in Portland from 2017-2022 and Hawaii from 2000-2017, so she is thrilled to be returning to life by the beach in her favorite small town on Oregon’s North Coast and looks forward to helping you incorporate a restorative spa visit into your Manzanita summer experience.

Cynthia can be booked for massage from our website along with our other massage therapists.

Emily Johnson - Licensed Massage Therapist #28509

I’ll use some of my clients’ interpretations of what it is I do, and who I am: “Emily Ann is an experienced, technically skilled, detail oriented, highly intuitive massage therapist. She is present on all levels, a natural healer with a peaceful presence and very knowledgeable in her work.”

I have 30 years massage experience, building my practice on the California Central Coast. In 2024, I moved to Oregon to be closer to my family. Like many, I visited the Oregon Coast, Manzanita, and didn’t want to leave. I knew this is where I wanted to do massage and I’m very excited to be able to do so at Spa Manzanita.

I find the body to be a unique and fascinating precision instrument. It’s sensitive to all the influences that govern our moods, joys and problems. I use a variety of styles in my practice: Reflexology, Swedish, Esalen Massage, Deep Tissue, Structural Integration, Myofascial Release, Energy work (Polarity Therapy)….. I hope I can be of some help in re-tuning the magical machine that is your body.

Emily is joining Spa Manzanita as guest massage therapist. We are delighted to have her on our serene spa team!

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.
