Atmosphere and setting

Sessions take place in Dakini Hali's private, clean, and tidy home in the Foster-Powell neighborhood, east of downtown Portland. The space is filled with beautiful art and love, and is home to a few cats, so clients with allergies should take note. There are two concrete steps at the entrance, and the interior is all on one level. Soft, fresh linens and a selection of PPE are provided for your comfort and safety. Instead of a massage table, Dakini uses large futon pads inspired by Thai massage, offering firm support and freedom of movement. A clean bathroom and shower are available for refreshment. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, with discretion and safety as top priorities.

To ensure safety and preparation, initial contact is made exclusively through email. Once a date is set, Dakini can communicate via text or phone. The address is provided only on the day of the session after final confirmation. Same-day appointments are not accommodated due to her health considerations (she identifies as a Spoonie and a Zebra). A free 3-month trial offer is available on the contact page. Clients are asked to practice excellent personal hygiene, avoid strong fragrances, and come with an open mind and respectful attitude. Weapons, cologne, hangovers, and aggression are not permitted.
