About Stefanie

Over my 10 years in the field, I have worked in a variety of settings and with a variety of clients, from resort hotel spas where I performed body scubs, polishes, and wraps, to working within a physical therapy office on clients who were post-op, recovering from injury, or suffering from acute and chronic pain.

For most of my career, I focused my effort and attention almost entirely on the clinical, “practical”, results-oriented side of massage therapy, and truthfully for a long time I did not understand why someone would want simply a “relaxation massage”.

Then, I became a busy, constantly-moving mom, on top of already being an entrepreneur with varied hobbies (more on those in the P.S.).

And wow, do I now look at the idea of pampering completely differently!

When I finally am able to schedule time for myself, I really have multiple needs and desires for my session, not just one! I don’t want to have to choose between seeing someone to get me back into pain-free movement and alignment, and a session that recharges me. I really want it ALL!

And so, that is what I now lovingly offer to my clients with equally busy and active lifestyles: the very massage I want for myself, that I think many others want too —

I offer a massage that fuses a decade’s worth of therapeutic expertise with a relaxing, pampering experience that refuels the tank on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level and leaves you glowing and refreshed.

In the spirit of this respite from busy and active lives, I also offer No-Talk services that allow you to decline conversation during your sessions so that you can go deeply inward and simply enjoy the experience of time away, and come back to a body that is more free, more comfortable, and utterly revitalized.

You can book a complimentary consultation to see whether massage therapy is the right therapy for what is bothering your body, or you can go straight to booking a session with me using any of the book buttons on this page.

P.S. In case you’re curious about my hobbies outside the treatment room, the name “Genki Glow” was actually inspired by one of them!

I enjoy studying foreign languages inluding Spanish, French, and my long-time favorite (for even longer than I have been a massage therapist!), Japanese.

The “Genki” in Genki Glow is a Japanese word that translates roughly to “healthy,” but also translates to “lively,” “vital," and “full of energy/life/spirit,” indicating a deeper, more holisitic sense of wellbeing that extends beyond the physical body.

It feels like one is so aligned with one’s heart and is so well across mind, body, and spirit, that one has boundless energy (this is where lively and vital come in) and one is said to have perfect health. It’s my aim to leave you all with a “Genki Glow” that comes from being purely relaxed and free in your body and mind!

As far as other hobbies go, I also love learning about entrepreneurship and business; writing whatever inspiration strikes with, which has often been fiction and poetry; singing; and moving my body whether it’s walks and jogs with my son, dancing, or at-home pilates and yoga.
