I had hear about Stephanie from a friend of mine, and going to her has been one of the best decisions I've made. Not only is Stephanie one of the kindest people I've ever met, she is extremely thorough and I leave there feeling amazing. She always seems to have the right ambience when it comes time for my appointment. The setting is always perfect! Highly recommend!

So sad I’m moving and won’t be able to come here anymore. Stephanie always took the time to go above and beyond, she even taught me how to do castor oil packs while I was there.

Stephanie is the absolute best massage therapist. She is kind, compassionate, and ridiculously skilled and intuitive. Highly recommend booking her 2 hour massage.. afterwards I always feel I am able to take deeper, more restorative breath, and my body feels aligned. Thank you, Stephanie!

I recently went through an online program with Stephanie for pelvic floor health. The program was a combination of zoom calls, and emails guiding me through self care homework. I highly recommend this program to anyone working on releasing trauma, or those who suffer from pelvic pain or dysfunction. Stephanie was amazing and tailored the program to my individual needs. I am so impressed by all the tools I am walking away with to continue my care, and by all of the amazing progress I've made so far! Thank you Stephanie for all your support and for bringing this work to all of the women who need it!!!

I started going to Stephanie at Awakening Bodywork for Women at ~28 weeks pregnant. Prior to my first massage I was starting to experience severe sciatic pain (which was a chronic issue for me prior to pregnancy). She has an incredible ability to massage with gentle but precise and effective pressure. I’ve never had a massage that left me feeling this recovered and pain free - and to give context, I was an ICU nurse during COVID who needed to get massages regularly. I cannot recommend her enough. I am now a recurrent client and intend to be for years to come.

I have worked with Stephanie for bodywork for the last three years. She is a talented masseuse and kind person. She takes care to create a warm and inviting healing space for clients, and I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you, Stephanie!

I was referred to Stephanie after my Chiropractor felt like some of my chronic pain issues (post back surgery and childbirth) were outside of her typical work. After ONE womb massage/healing session I am in zero pain and feel incredible. I look forward to working more with her for complete healing, as the initial session was life changing.

Steph is incredible! She always asks how I’m feeling before my massages and targets areas that are sore or tight. She also has a way of just feeling what my body/muscles need during a massage. She’s strong but sensitive and I always leave feeling so relaxed. I also love how she incorporates cupping, oils, guasha, stretching, pressure points, etc. I love recommending her to friends, as I know they will feel better after a session with her.

Stephanie is a truly lovely and caring individual providing such unique and needed services. Just being in her presence felt calming and healing. She does a great job creating a very safe and soothing space. We’re lucky to have her in the triangle area!

Stephanie is one of the best. I have been dealing with chronic pain for years and her treatment and recommendations provided me with hope that days without pain are ahead. Her technique allowed my pelvis to relax and unwind and I have been in a rotated state for years. I also think her treatment will help with my PCOS. I’m really looking forward to continuing the healing process with her in my corner. Thank you, Stephanie!

Stephanie was absolutely wonderful!! One of the best massages of my life. Her ability to work with my body and release tension and regulate my nervous system was AMAZING. I can’t wait to continue to see her on a regular basis! :)

I highly recommend Stephanie. She truly cares about her clients. I have had a lot of massages in my life, but Stephanie is absolutely the best! Recent update: Recently, my left leg and knee were painful off and on for several months, self diagnosed as IT band syndrome. She did her magic on it and I am pain free for several weeks now! She is amazing, and I highly recommend her. I live on the east side of Raleigh, and I drive all the way to Cary for a massage. It's worth it!

If I could give Steph 10 stars, I would! She is the most talented, gifted, skillful massage therapist I have worked with! From day one I have felt safe, supported, and able to let go in ways I haven’t before. You can tell from her touch and compassion that she lives her work, it is informed from her experience, and she can handle and support the healing of my body, mind, heart, and spirit. Her womb work has helped me reach deeper level of pleasure at home and ease in my body and with my cycles. If you’re thinking of making an appointment, stop thinking, and do it! Go see her every week, and see how quickly your life experience changes for the better!

Stephanie is amazing at bodywork. I will forever trust her with my healing and she is incredibly knowledgable about her work. She is a forever student and is always looking for ways to become better at her craft. I highly recommend coming to get bodywork done by Stephanie whether its for relaxation or if you want to fix pain in your body. You will not be disappointed.
