About Us
Hello!
I'm Steph. I'm so glad you stopped by my website - I don't think it was any accident.
Chances are, you're here because you're dealing with some kind of chronic pain and you're tired of the feeling of tense and stressed muscles.
Are you searching for relief but haven't found it yet? Have you tried acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy, deep tissue.....everything it seems but are still living with chronically tight muscles and constant nagging pain? I hear this from about 90% of my clients.
Unfortunately, I'm usually their last resort. But the good news is, it's never too late.
I specialize in John Barnes Myofascial Release and end most sessions with CranioSacral work. So far, I've received training in MFR 1, Myofascial Unwinding, and the Fascial Pelvis course with John Barnes....

I should have said not to push on neck (chin pushed/stretched to chest & held) when he was doing the stretches. Even though he said he was going to do stretches-hold an arm-I didn’t really think that was all that was going to be done.

Daniel is great. He always makes sure I am comfortable and asks me to tell him if he is using too much or too little pressure. I always feel great when I leave.

The office itself is very nice, clean and very well kept. I only dealth with Natasha and se was absolutely fantastic in every regard. Overall a very, very good experience, the only negative is the somewhat drab "motel entry" office building, especially as Bodywork bt Steph is located on a second floor cia a carpeted open air second floor walkway.

The massage was great, I didn't love that I could hear everything going on in the room(s) outside of mine. Natasha had soothing music and a trickling water fountain to help drown it out but there were multiple long conversations had outside of the room I was in. That can't necessarily be helped, but it was distracting
