About Me

Prior to becoming a Licensed Massage and Body Therapist in 2016, Stephen worked as a personal care assistant to people whose differing abilities in all areas of their lives gave him desire to help. Along with these work experiences, his personal life has been touched by the power of intention, hope, and massage.  Being a father to a son diagnosed with multiple severe disabilities, he has witnessed the benefits of massage first hand.  Knowing this was his calling, he graduated from Isothermal Community College in Polk County and is currently working part-time at the Cosmic Groove in Hendersonville. In his free time, Stephen an avid “outdoor guy” finds his source of peace and rejuvenation in nature.  Stephen and his wife, June are believers in the healing massage can bring to both body and spirit and incorporate it into their son’s care as a crucial piece.

All excellent massage therapists innovate their own techniques based on their attention and ongoing, daily study of the human condition. This innovation is a continuous pursuit. Stephen’s passionate quest is to assist in the body’s healing process for a demographic that is often overlooked and/or underestimated.

He incorporates Sweedish massage, Myofascial, Cranial Sacral, Deep Tissue massage, joint/muscle compressions, stretching and traction to release tightened muscles, manage pain, and assist the parasympathetic nervous system; therefore creating a healthy environment for the body to mend itself.  Although Stephen’s passion is focused on this demographic, his desire to help expands to caregivers and all others. The therapeutic benefits of massage to support health and wellbeing extends to all ages and abilities.
