Meet Our Massage Therapists

Linda is a native Oregonian, but spent 12 years living in Nebraska. While there she earned her massage license in 1997 and worked at the Nebraska Medical Center in the Physical and Occupational Therapy Department. She specializes in myofascial release, deep tissue, Swedish and lymph drainage massage techniques.

Years ago her daughter had a chronic stomach problem. During Linda’s search to get her daughter help, she was unable to find a solution through the use of pharmaceuticals. It was at that point she turned to the use of Holistic medicine and a more natural approach with supplements.

Linda moved back to Oregon to be closer to family and started to work at Heresco Chiropractic starting in 2006. She has 4 grown daughters and 10 beautiful grandchildren. Linda enjoys watching them grow up with all their many activities.

Javan has felt a calling towards massage ever since he was young. As a kid, he would often “practice” on friends and family. This calling for massage was such that Javan attended and graduated in 2018 from East West College of Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon.

Javan was born in Washington and raised in Philomath, Oregon. He is the third son of seven children. Javan, his wife, Madi and their dog, Cooper enjoy living in this area so that they can spend time with both of their families.

Javan feels that massage is a powerful healing tool, and a valuable resource to many people.

He feels that massage can help each person in a unique way.

He specializes in Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Trigger Point Release. Javan believes that balance in all things is the key to a prosperous life, career, and family.
