Meet Genevieve

Nice to meet you!

I’m Genevieve Daugherty (she/her), and I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT). As the founder and owner of Salem Massage & Lymphatics, I’m delighted to welcome you to my clinic.

Originally hailing from the East Coast, I offered massage and bodywork in the Portland area for 10 years before relocating to Salem. I am excited about the possibilities in this new community.

My bodywork practice has always had a strong medical focus. After four years of undergraduate studies and assisting nurses with elder care, I began my massage therapy career in a medical spa and quickly moved to a medical massage clinic. I apprenticed with one of Portland’s renowned structural integration specialists and then, in 2022, became certified in manual lymphatic drainage.

After one-fourth of my jaw endured nerve damage from wisdom-teeth removal, receiving manual lymphatic drainage allowed me to eat pain-free for the first time in weeks. Manual lymphatic drainage has so many sensitive, delicate benefits for a range of body-wide conditions that I was ready to provide it for my community and enrolled in the next available training!

Outside of work, I concoct healthy vegetable-based meals, detox from my workday’s coffee, and move my body on disc golf courses. I am married with a shared passion for disc golf at home. I also love watching the Food Network and reading about ways to support my community.

I want you to know that there’s hope for you. If you’re ready to feel better and have a faster recovery, easier mobility, more relaxation, and less anxiety, I invite you to book an appointment with me.

Let’s get you back to living with ease and abundance!
