Massage client feedback and testimonials

Hamid Shibata Bennett, LMT - Licensed massage therapist in Portland, Oregon

Hamid, it was wonderful to have met ya this afternoon. i wanted to let you know that i consciously chose you.  as i've been unpacking and making portland my home and handling the intensities of starting a new job, learning more and more about oncology and medicine, and building the world i want for myself, i knew it was time for another massage.  i'd been achy all over. i easily coulda picked some massage shop on 23rd or one closer to me... but that's not how i roll ;-)  

i figure if you are going to make yourself vulnerable and explain to someone what you need... then take off your clothes and hop on a table, ya may as well pick someone who seems like they are capable of providing what ya need.  i did my research on licensed therapists in portland.  i searched the listings, the websites for various practices etc. when i came across yours, i felt at home. some folks just go through the motions and do the physical things they were trained to do.  thats not the kind of experience i sought.  its much better to have someone meet you where you are have them give ya what ya need.

i am not all that good at openly expressing myself verbally, but in response to your question - yes, the massage was good.  the best i've ever had.  i believe what sets you apart IS your intention.  it comes through.

thank you, again. -T.W.

Hari O'm Hamid,I have been researching massage websites this evening and I have just stumbled across your site. I just wanted to take a moment to compliment you on a beautiful & compreshensive website. If I were not all the way across the continent from you, I'd book a massage for sure. In Spirit, ~Liliana~r

Every time I get your letters I realize how much I miss your expertise and all around great energy... I am working with some amazing healers and an shaman at the moment but must admit that your body work has definitely been been the best I have encountered. I look forward to getting up to P-Town and back on your table later this year. Talk to you soon...D.M.

I wanted to let you know how beneficial the last massage you gave me was. Within two days almost all the pain in my knee had disappeared. It's about 99% better now and improving with almost every moment. Thanks so much for your healing touch. love, B.B.

I had the pleasure of meeting with you twice, a number of months ago... I have since moved from Portland, after meaning so many times to come again, to a drum circle, to enjoy a massage, or just to say hello... at some point, my friend and I discovered that we had both met you, and we couldn't help but share an extended moment of appreciation for who you are and how you have touched our lives. I don't have words to express how grateful I am for this amazing world that we have all been blessed to experience, and I am constantly blown away by the incredible people who continue to come into my life... thank you so much for living your truth. Warmly, S.O.

I had a spiritual and healing experience yesterday. I went in for a massage with Hamid Shibata Bennett. I would highly recommend his work. He has created a true sanctuary feeling for his work with beautiful lighting and soothing music. And after my massage I felt totally light and rejuvenated! I just wanted to share with you his amazing practice. -T. Beckwith, Life Coach
