Testimonials

"I have been a client of Stephanie since 2008. We originally started as work colleagues so I decided to take advantage of the massage therapy readily available in the office. Who doesn’t like a great massage, right? Well, in no time at all, I realized that Stephanie was truly gifted in her abilities to not only relax but to heal.

You see, I ruptured a disc in my low back in 2004 and, while I had made great strides in managing my pain over the years, I still struggled with keeping everything in balance and keeping my pain to a minimum. That’s when I decided to begin seeing Stephanie on a monthly basis. While we haven’t worked together for years, I’ve chosen to continue seeing her because she has really become an integral part of managing not only my pain but improving my overall wellbeing.

In Summer 2012, I even upped the ante by not only deciding to run a half marathon, which I’d done before, but by adding a 10-mile mud run filled with obstacles called The Tough Mudder, and my first physique competition. I trained hard for 3 months until all 3 events occurred in two back-to-back weekends in the Fall. I’d always had complete faith in Stephanie’s abilities but this was the ultimate test. Could she keep me on my feet? Absolutely! I completed all 3 events and even got a new personal record for the half marathon! While I see her every month just to keep things in check, I know that whatever fitness challenges I decide to pursue in the future, Stephanie will be an important part of helping me reach those goals. There’s no one else I could recommend more highly for someone’s massage therapy needs than Stephanie Martinez."

"Over the last 5 years I have become a runner. Stephanie has been a major part of my training programs. Whatever issues I seem to have over the course of my training, whether a sore foot, ankle, leg, back or arm Stephanie is able to find the root cause of the problem and help me work through it. Now training for my 4^th marathon in the last 2 years our plan of working together continues. I truly trust Stephanie and value her as a therapeutic specialist and friend. "

"Therapeutic massage from Stephanie Martinez has improved my health and well-being dramatically over the past 7 months during which I have been her patient. Before undergoing Stephanie's care, I woke up with a multitude of aches and pains all over my body, especially in my spine, back, neck, and shoulders. My pain added to my significant depression and made it even harder for me to get out of bed in the morning. Every day choosing to move was a struggle. I knew moving would help me in so many ways, but even thinking about moving was so challenging.

I started seeing Stephanie at the recommendation of my chiropractor, and right away Stephanie worked with me to develop a plan to prioritize my areas of concern. Stephanie did not pressure me into this-- after one appointment, I could tell she had superior skills and I definitely wanted to come back and see her again. Previous to meeting with Stephanie, I had lots of massages in salon/spas & massage boutiques, and Stephanie is a TRUE massage therapist. I think she has magical fingers.

She knows just where to work on my body and can even find areas of tension I didn't know with which I needed help. I feel amazing after every session. I know there are things other to talk about like my range of motion (which I know has improved), and my lung expansion (I can breathe deeper now), and probably what is most important to me are two other things. First, my level of daily pain has significantly decreased. I don't lie in bed each morning asking and re-asking my husband please to rub my back, neck, and shoulders so I can just get out of bed. Second, using massage therapy in conjunction with my medication and therapist, my anxiety and depression are decreasing.

I can highly recommend the work of Stephanie Martinez to anybody who is looking for a caring, extremely talented, therapeutic massage therapist. She is wonderful!
