"Stephanie is amazing! I felt so good after the massage. I walked out of her office feeling like I was floating on clouds ! This girl definitely knows what she is doing. I had a 90 minute massage and she really does give those problem areas that extra attention they need after she completes the full body. I can't wait for my next massage with Stephanie!!!"

"Stephanie is truly therapeutic! She is a deep tissue specialist and I was amazed at her knowledge of the different muscle groups, bones, etc. she then told me she studied nursing ! Ah Ha ! That explains her knowledge and training. I am so glad I found her and hope she never moves away...
My last therapist who was fantastic ended up moving to Idaho and Stephanie is a better replacement. I highly recommend her!
10 stars !!!" - TY

 

"i have been seeing stephanie for regular massage therapy for about six months and she is absolutely wonderful.

as a long distance runner, regular massage therapy is a very important part of my training regimen, and supplements stretching and foam rolling. having lived in the bay area for several years, i had yet to find a therapist who completely met my needs and with whom i felt completely comfortable. ever since i found stephanie, my search is over, as i have found the perfect therapist to give my muscles some TLC.

since the very first appointment, stephanie has always taken the time to inquire about my needs, injuries, other concerns before starting the body work. she usually starts with a lighter touch, and gradually moves to a deep, firm stroke, which is exactly what i need. at times, i'll have her focus on my legs, other times, i'll ask for more focus on my back. if she happens to find something that requires more attention, she will always work on that body part until she is able to work out the issue. she keeps constant communication with me to ensure that the pressure is sufficient and that i am getting what i need. if i ever need her to change her game plan or pressure or body part that she is working on, she is only too happy to oblige.

i highly recommend seeing stephanie if you need a deep tissue or myofascial release session. if you prefer a lighter touch, she can do that too, especially for those who are more sensitive to touch. even if you are not an athlete, she'll take great care of you." - EL

 

"I have been going to Stephanie for two years. I had previously been a customer at Massage Envy, at other local massage places, and even the Google massage therapists when I worked there. Stephanie is who I trust with my biggest neck back emergencies and ongoing musculo-skeletal health.

Stephanie has an extraordinary technical knowledge of various kinds of therapy -- trigger point, deep tissue, for example -- and musculo-skeletal structures. I can go to her with a spasm in the right side of my neck and some random pain in my lower back, and she can sleuth out the intricate network of muscles that need work to relieve the problems. She will use whatever techniques she feels will help resolve the problems I walk in with. When I come in two months later, she remembers the kinds of issues I came in with last time and checks up on how those issues have progressed.

I also love that Stephanie clearly and patiently explains what she is doing when I request. This has helped me be a more mindful observer of my own body. Over the last two years, we've developed a collaborative relationship where we communicate openly about how her work is affecting my body, and she adapts her practices in response. I believe this open communication is part of what makes her such a wizard. Just today, for example, I went in with a mild spasming in my back. She worked two muscles that offered some relief, but the pain returned while she worked another muscle. I told her so and this offered her a clue that led her to work some other muscles to holistically work out the crazy network of tension that was causing my back to hurt.

Sometimes her massages are so relaxing that I actually fall off into a half sleep. Stephanie says that this can actually help the muscles release. I always feel like a failed massage patient but I think she's right. ;)

I've gone to other massage therapists who offer the sleepy rub -- the getaway from work or the kids massage -- as well as ones who do deep work but don't seem to have a detailed knowledge of what their work is affecting in my body. Visits to these other kinds of massage therapists helped me recognize exactly what makes Stephanie special -- a combination of care, commitment, and deep knowledge.

I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for therapeutic massage or just relaxation. If you want the kind of massage where the therapist says nothing and just rubs you, though, you should probably let Stephanie know that in advance because her default mode is open communication before and during the massage." - LI

 

"Before I had massage with Stephanie, I hadn't appreciated the medical benefits. I'd always had the masseuses at hotels who just rubbed my muscles and made me feel relaxed while there, but Stephanie made me feel better for days after. After a massage, I felt....freer.... I hadn't realized how tight my entire body had been.

Since I got a well-timed massage from her, I also give her partial credit for a recent IUI being successful." - JD

 

"Stephanie is amazing! I have been going to massage therapist for 20 years and she is something special.extremely knowledgeable, warm personality, and willing to being flexible for loyal clientele.

If you are serious about massage, you MUST give her a call. Stephanie is conveniently located near 101 in RWC and also is willing to massage remotely if needed.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Stephanie the Massage Therapist!" - JC

 

"Stephanie is a fabulous massage therapist! She has an extensive medical background and has just the right touch, making sure that she is working through the tight muscles, without too much pain. She really listens when you tell her what hurts, and she gives great feedback on what you're doing right and wrong with your body. Truly a great
massage therapist." - DR

 

"Stephanie is amazing at massage! She uses the perfect amount of pressure without even having to ask. She knows how to read the muscles in a way that I have really never experienced with a massage therapist (and I have had therapeutic massages for over 10 years in many different locations when I have lived in other cities). I would recommend her highly! She is definitely going to be my permanent massage therapist as long as I live in this area! She cares about helping the muscles feel good and get back into a healthy state. She is easy to talk with and open to feedback, which I feel is important when it comes to getting the kind of massage you need if you have some areas that may require more attention than others on any given appointment. Definitely go see her!" - EA

 

"First let me say that I'm in my mid-50s and I've been getting massages from CMTs for about 25 years. I've been treated by at least 40 different masseuses in that time (if not more). I always am looking for long sessions of professional body work (deep tissue).

I can safely say that Stephanie is the absolute best masseuse I have ever encountered.

Stephanie is highly trained and her skills and expertise are unparalleled.. Her massage is strong yet precise and controlled, allowing her to avoid the unnecessary pain that is so often delivered by other masseuses during deep tissue work. She is very responsive to requests during sessions and flexible in scheduling. If you are serious about your massage, get Stephanie." - AM

 

"I'm pretty sad that I just moved out of the Bay Area. I saw Stephanie regularly after I found her on Yelp. She is exceptional and I truly learned a lot about what causes back pain. I would really recommend her. She listens and works to make you feel better short term and long term. I always looked forward to my next visit after seeing her!" - LE

 

"I've been seeing Stephanie for massage for many years now and it's high time I wrote a glowing review for her! First and foremost, I've had many massages in the past, some good and some just okay, but with Stephanie I always know I am truly getting the best. As other reviewers have said, my body actually feels healthier and more relaxed for days after her massages, not just in the moment. She always pays special attention to my trouble areas, is very responsive to any and all feedback, and has helped me with chronic pain, including a strained shoulder. I also appreciate how she checks in with me along the way to make sure I'm doing okay, and to explain why she is working certain areas.

She really takes the time to listen to my needs and brings a wealth of musculoskeletal knowledge that frankly I wasn't expecting from a massage therapist. I will also add that I went to see her during some fertility treatments and feel confident that reducing my stress level during that time helped me to successfully conceive! She also specializes in pregnancy massage, and has been a lifesaver for me and my chronically aching back during my pregnancy. If I could give her six stars, I would." - SM

 

"I have been going to Stephanie for over 2 years. She has magic hands. She helps my back, neck, shoulder and other areas with Swedish massages. She relieves my stress. I feel excellent after my massage. She has many years experience and is knowledgeable!! She tells me what to do to feel better. She uses organic lotion for massages" - JB

 

"Stephanie has magic hands! She makes you feel extremely comfortable during massages. I've been to many massage places and have had several days of extreme soreness! Stephanie finds the right way to massage every muscle in your body and applies the right amount of pressure to relieve stress. I've been going to Stephanie for a while now and I couldn't be in better hands (both figuratively and literally)! I highly recommend Stephanie to all!" - DP

 

"I've been seeing Stephanie for over ten years, and I couldn't live without her! She always checks in with me on how my body is doing and what needs attention before starting. All the stars!" - DL

 

"I've been seeing Stephanie for years. She is really good at getting all the tight spots. I feel relaxed after I leave and my muscles feel relaxed for days afterward. Sometimes I want to talk during my massage and sometimes I want to be quiet. She is really good at adjusting to whatever mood I'm in and making me feel comfortable. I always leave refreshed." - MJ

 

"I would like to add my voice to the chorus of clients singing Stephanie's praises. She is the best massage therapist I've ever encountered, and I've gone to a lot, especially in the last 10 years when two pregnancies left me with chronic hip pain. She is a master massage therapist, who takes her craft seriously as both a science and an art. She engages in ongoing professional development to continually improve her skills, and her knowledge of how your body operates and is connected is unparalleled. I always feel significantly better during and after the treatment, and not just immediately after but for days after. On top of it all, she is a lovely person to be around. I recommend her highly and without hesitation." - GB

 

I got a massage by Stephanie, and it was truly therapeutic. Her style of massage provided relaxation and relief where I was needing tension to be released. I would recommend her highly for her healing and relaxing method. In addition, I appreciated her manners as she is a very kind person and really made sure that I was comfortable with the very professional way she does her massage. I have gone to other massage therapists before and Stephanie stands out as one of the best for sure!!! - EA

 

Stephanie, my massage therapist, was very friendly. I immediately felt comfortable with her but was mostly impressed by her knowledge base, when I explained the issue with my shoulder blade/ trap area. She suggested focusing some of the massage in my "armpit area". Yes, I know...I was thinking, "this will be interesting", but it actually felt amazing. It was my favorite part of the massage.

I also have minor scoliosis, which Stephanie gave me some helpful tips on how to sleep, which would take pressure off my lower back - She has a background in chiropractic massage. Everyday, I typically have discomfort around my right shoulder blade and although I get massages regularly, they have not helped improve this area. I am happy to share I have NO discomfort today thanks to Stephanie! She is a GEM! Overall, my experience was AWESOME! I will be back to see Stephanie in two weeks. - DG

 

My poor tense shoulders have turned me into half quasimoto half girl but thankfully Stephanie has truly helped to heal and repair my body back to normal. Serenity Day Spa is the best place to get a massage in the peninsula. In the words of the wise Donna and Tom Haverford of Parks and Rec-Treat Yo Self! - EM

 

I'm a huge massage fan and have been to a lot of different massage therapists. I scheduled a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Stephanie to work on several problem areas of mine. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I was really impressed by how much she knew about how the different muscles were connected and how well she was able to trace the muscles and match the pressure she exerted with how my muscles were responding. She has magical, healing hands. During the massage she explained why she was employing different techniques and seeked my feedback on more advanced moves to make sure I was comfortable. She also gave me suggestions to help reduce tension in my problem areas (e.g. changing my sleeping position, doing specific stretches, etc.). She even spent extra time with me for free to make sure that she finished working on all my problem areas.
I'm definitely going back to her. - JR
