Massage by Stephanus

I have been receiving massage from Stephanus for about two years now. He is a talented masseur, with detailed knowledge of anatomy. He is personable and friendly. I keep coming back to Stephanus because of his skilled and strong hands and because he is such a nice guys, very warm and kind. And I always leave his studio feeling better than when I arrived.

Stephanus’ massage always begins with a conversation about how you are feeling and what if any issues you are experiencing. This allows him to customize his touch and his technique to your specific needs. It also allows him to customize a mixture of essential oils to create aromatherapy specific for each client.

I recently scheduled with Stephanus because I had strained my lower back. His massage brought relief to my achey back. He applied just the right amount of pressure and frequently checked with me to ensure I was comfortable. I can’t tell you how he stretched the tissue or how he warmed up and relaxed the muscle; I just know his touch was soothing and healing. I arrived a bit stiff and sore and left with much improved mobility and feeling better than I had in days. Stephanus’ hands are magic.

Stephanus gave me the best massage I've ever had. I chose the 90 minute massage and it was perfect. The ambience of his studio is serene and the service he provides is immaculate - not just in terms of professionalism and quality but in the little touches. For instance, the heated table is a great touch. I have never done aromatherapy massage before but it really enhances the experience. I highly recommend him and I will be hiring him again.

I had a ninety-minute massage with Stephanus and I was very much satisfied with the quality of his work and attentiveness to detail.
At the onset of our meeting, he asked thorough questions concerning my current medications and any ailments. He was very easy to talk with and he wanted to make sure I was comfortable before, during and after the massage. His massage techniques along with the various massage oils made this massage very relaxing and therapeutic. The massage was great; however, I will admit the feet, hands and head massage was an added bonus. His studio is very clean and convenient. I arrived with lower back and shoulder pain but I left feeling refreshed and restored.
I highly recommend Stef and I will be seeing him again in the future.

Stephanus provided the best massage I have had in the DMV. He asks all the right questions regarding the kind of massage you want and his has a high level of expertise. I felt very relaxed and the aches and pains were gone. The glass of iced water after the massage was just the right touch. Five stars!

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.

This guy has magic hands and does great massage.

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.
