Starr Porter, LMBT, is a licensed massage and bodywork therapist specializing in therapeutic massage, postural alignment, and holistic pain management. Based in Asheville, NC, Starr combines deep expertise in clinical bodywork with a compassionate, intuitive approach to healing.

Her journey began in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where chronic pain and structural imbalances led to a major back surgery at just 20 years old. When surgery didn’t resolve her symptoms, she turned to yoga, massage therapy, and herbal medicine—an integrative path that helped her reclaim her health and sparked a lifelong dedication to healing work.

Starr’s massage therapy practice is rooted in modalities such as myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage, Thai yoga massage, cupping, and hot stone therapy. She specializes in helping clients with chronic pain, postural misalignment, tension, injury recovery, and stress-related conditions.

What sets Starr apart is her ability to blend structural techniques with holistic awareness, offering personalized sessions that treat the whole person—not just the symptoms. Her mission is to guide each client on a path toward greater alignment, resilience, and overall well-being.

Whether you're looking for therapeutic massage in Asheville, support with chronic pain and tension, or a holistic approach to bodywork, Starr offers a healing experience that’s both effective and deeply restorative.
