Overview

I'm originally from South Africa and living now in DC. I specialize in Aromatherapy massage and will mix a couple of different essential oils for your session. After going through your health history and current heath and issues I will determine what essential oils to use.
Prefer to do ninety minute massage session-so that I have enough time to spend on all body parts. When doing sixty minutes I don't include the feet, head and face.
Aromatherapy massage... style is very similar to Swedish massage and I do incorparate some deep tissue techniques/strokes at specific problem areas. The goal of Aromatherapy massage is to improve lymph-circulation and blood-circulation, to move toxics out and that the body can heal itself.
To schedule, please e-mail or WhatsApp me.

Testimonials

Gathered by Stephanus from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Nov. 02, 2023 in Alexandria, VA (mobile)

I highly recommend Stephanus for massage therapy. He is a clearly experienced master of massage therapy. I have Parkinson's and have issues with stiffness and rigidity. I scheduled an in-home 90 minute session. He quickly set up and provided all the essentials. He clearly explained everything he was going to work on and communicated with me throughout the session to ensure I was ok. Great technique and combination of modalities. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated and have already booked another session. He is the best!

I’ve been patronizing Stephanus for the last year. His body work has helped me overcome very stressful period of my life. He is very knowledgeable with the properties of the essential oils and how they affect the mind and the body. His techniques are firm and very healing. His massage studio is beautifully decorated. He has an aquarium with a few fish in it that is a great addition to the relaxing experience. His music selection is very relaxing and calming. I always feel great each time I see him.

Best massage ever.
I can not thank you enough for the massage last Friday. From the very beggining you were spot on your technique, knowledge, calming voice and relaxing music, It made my visit and absolute pleasure. Without doubt, the best massage I have ever had. I’ll definitely be heading back soon. Jorhe.

Stephanus was very responsive and easy to book. His massage room is very clean and relaxing. He was very good at finding my stress areas and working them out. He took time to give extra care to a foot that had been recently injured. HE also uses essential oils which add to the overall experience. Very easy to talk to and makes you feel very welcomed. I left with a feeling of relaxation and plan to return soon.
