However I've been experiencing some elbow pain due to an overuse injury related to my occupation. I've seen my chiropractor a few times about it which brought some relief, but it's still been bugging me a lot. My wife has been seeing Stephanie for a couple years now, and booked me a 2hr appointment with her (knowing I'd never do it myself). I had the appointment yesterday, and I'm SO glad I did. I could instantly tell that Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all the muscles and connective tissues, knowing that where it hurt was not necessarily where the problem was originating. She confessed that she loves the challenge of finding those pesky source knots/tensions/misbehaving parts, almost like a detective solving a crime. Well my body is guilty as charged, and she expertly reduced 90% of my pain in the first 2hr appointment. If you want the perfect blend of a feel-good massage with what I'd describe as therapeutic/medical-level therapy, look no further than Stephanie at Soul Purpose Massage. I can tell that she can turn that dial of "feel good" to "hurts good" depending on each client's specific needs/wants. I definitely wanted the pain issues dealt with and couldn't care less about the feel good aspects (although the whole experience definitely was amazing). The room itself is very cozy, with a great view of the forest in the big picture window. Plenty of parking right off Soquel Dr. Why wait, book Stephanie now!

Gotta say something negative and that's the worst I could come up with. She's personal in every way possible. From how she welcomes you in and checks up on me to getting into the therapy. The ace-in-the-hole part about her work is...her work. As I have only gotten the deep tissue massage, she performs that masterfully; applying the right pressure at the right time, for a good amt of time. In other words she tries to understand where I'm tense and really hurting.

The deep tissue massage felt like a combination of deep tissue with acupressure and physical therapy stretches which helped reduce my muscular pain and muscle tension. The lotion was soft and light coconut fragrance, and wasn't sticky. I'll definitely be going back, and highly recommend. Her website is easy to read with the services and cost listed.

LILY!!! Can one love someone after one visit? Well I would argue yes…read more I sought out Lily because I had been experiencing sharp pain in my upper back, under one of my shoulder blades. It had gotten worse over the weeks, and the muscle spasm spread to where I had difficulty moving my head and turning my body. I tried stretching and massaging it myself. I tried tools and massage devices. I asked friends for help. I tried ice and heat. I tried medicine and rest. Nothing worked. The pain got worse and my movement got increasingly restricted. (Hear the violin playing yet?! Lol) I am on a tight budget so I was trying to hold out, but finally I chose to prioritize health and wellness, so I researched several physical therapists and massage therapists, and Lily stood out to me. And holy guacamole, Lily did such an excellent job in our 1 hour session... I think she is a magician! I've been to massage therapists where I felt worse after... or felt nothing at all (as if they just rubbed lotion on me). No exaggeration, I was able to move my neck after my massage!!! The following day, all of my pain and muscle spasms were gone. Finito! It was incredible. This meant I could get back to my life because now I could move. Lily did that. Lily understands Body Work really well, she is professional and attentive to your needs, and she is a chill person. I really enjoyed working with her!
