Steven has been involved with the healing arts for the last 12 years. He is trained in many modalities of bodywork including Swedish, Deep tissue, Accupressure, Neuromuscular therapy, Myofacial release, trigger point, Sports massage, Lomi Lomi, Pre-natal massage, Reiki and advanced cupping techniques. He can provide custom treatment from a relaxing self care massage helping to shift your energy to a therapeutic bodywork massage with the focus of relieving chronic pain and tension. You will feel more freedom of movement and structural alignment after each session.

Steven also has training as a Death Doula and death/grief educator. Feeling called to this work through his own experience with the process of grief, he holds space for others to feel their grief. With grief comes the emotional, mental, and spiritual pain of a loss, but the physical aspect of grieving can be unexpected. People naturally deal with stresses in different ways, grief is no different. Immediately following a death or loss, many people experience feelings of emptiness and numbness – similar to shock. During this time we can hold our body in certain ways and massage will help alleviate some of the physical discomfort associated with early bereavement, having a restorative effect on the nervous system, providing respite and strength for the body amid the overwhelming pain of loss. When our system is working optimally, our brain (and ultimately our broken heart) can heal faster. Please feel free to message with any questions.
