Found myself and through me striving after my goals and dreams, some doors shut only to open doors that landed me growing with the Breathe family. I've survived a hard life and through recovery, I was able to start making up for the past I've lived. I'm lucky enough to be able to offer healing to my clients. If you know me, you know that I boast in my weakness and shortcomings. Knowing fully that we are imperfect beings learning ourselves and unity with others. I feel I offer myself not only as an herbal healer, but as friend who is there to say "everything is going to be okay". The hardships we overcome are the very things that define us. I strive for the dream of being one and embracing that oneness. Even though I fall short, the greatest thing is love. Working towards love fulfilling all, and getting back up even if I may fall!

Vice President/Secretary & LMT 17096 / Yoga Instructor
Hello I'm De Lisa Van Dyke. I attended Everest Institute in Tigard, OR from 2008-2009 and received my massage therapy license in January 2010.
The whole reason I decided to go to massage school was to get an understanding of the human body so I could attend midwifery school and become the best midwife I could be. I was 5 weeks pregnant when I started massage school and was able to get first hand experience with pregnancy massage. I now specialize in pregnancy massage!
In school, I fell in love with treating the body. The biggest complaint I get from people is neck and shoulder pain. I love reading the body and relieving that pain. I also specialize in therapeutic and deep tissue massage.
Now that I'm a massage therapist and yoga instructor, I've put my dream of becoming a midwife on the back burner because I love what I do! I meet so many people and everyone's needs are different. I can find problem areas that you didn't know existed!
I've been involved in Sources Networking Group since 2014, and McMinnville Chamber of Commerce since 2016.
My goal is to improve your life whether it may be disconnecting from the world for an hour or getting in there and really working you out during yoga.
Everyone NEEDS a massage. It's not a luxury, it's ESSENTIAL! Let me read your body and improve your well-being!
