Massage Therapy
With over 20 years of experience, I have massaged hundreds of men and women from all services of our military from nearly all career fields as well as those on the civilian side from many sports and jobs. Along with massaging thousands of clients over the years, working alongside civilian and military physical therapists, attending many workshops and certifications, I am an athlete myself and I understand the demands on the body which allows me a unique perspective as to the how's and why of how dysfunction works in the body and what to do about it.
ORTHOPEDIC & PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massage has been shown in studies to decrease swelling, calm mom and to reduce the pain associated with pregnancy related muscle and nerve dysfunctions such as Sciatica, Carpel Tunnel, Chronic Piriformis Syndrome and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. All techniques are aimed at soothing mom’s aching and tired body and to calm her mind and spirit.
My brand of massage, best described as "making space" for tissue, venous, nerve, lymph and arterial structures, whether it be a prenatal massage or orthopedic, can and has successfully treated all manner of the dysfunctions mentioned above as well as:
-
running related injuries ITB Syndrome & plantar fasciatis
-
car-accident-related injuries like whiplash
-
post-surgery related aches and pains
-
restless legs
-
knee issues
-
rotator cuff pain
-
acute and chronic neck & back
-
and SO MUCH MORE!
MASSAGE CUPPING
Have you wondered about the benefits of massage cupping? As stated in the ICTA's Contemporary Cupping Methods handbook, "By creating suction and negative pressure, this therapy releases rigid soft tissue, drains excess fluids, toxins, loosens adhesions, lifts connective tissue, and brings blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles. Myofascial release is direct, and correct application addresses a myriad of debilitating and stubborn conditions. Restructuring of the myofascial bands are possible with cumulative treatments. The methods are easily modified to support a wide array of massage techniques and pain issues. Another benefit of Negative Pressure is that it really feels great. The pulling action engages the parasympathetic nervous system, thus allowing a deep relaxation to move through the entire body. It is not unusual to fall asleep when receiving this treatment. Clients often remark how relaxed, warm and light they feel - hours....sometimes days afterwards."

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Bjorn
Steph has been my massage therapist for the past 2 years. I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Thus, injury rehab and prevention are crucial. Steph has a very strong background in athletics, coaching, and massage therapy on athletes. Her unique skill set and perspective have been a blessing. Simply put, Steph helps keep me on the mats and on the podium
Steph's massage technique has been so much more than for mere relaxation. She has truly been able to get to the root of my neck/ back and headache issues. She is sweet, professional and so knowledgeable. Immediately I could tell the girl knew what she was doing and was passionate about helping people feel better.
I saw several doctors and physical therapists about my degenerative shoulder issue. None of them made a difference in my ability to function normally! Then I met Steph. Thank you for your amazing work!! I was able to go to boot camp (do a bazillion push-ups) ​and reach the top cabinets without ANY pain!
