Stephanie is a an amazing healer. I scheduled 1.5 hrs session with her a few weeks in advance and…read moreshe accommodated me even on a weekend since I was visiting the area. She gave clear instructions on the location, directions, logistics etc. Stephanie is gifted with intuition and has great skills. The massage itself was very comforting. Stephanie used a few different things from her toolbox, asked me a lot if questions about history etc, gave me a number of recommendations. I felt very relaxed after the massage. It's not just a massage, it's intuitive healing. I would highly recommend her and look forward to coming back.

Words cannot begin to describe the mind-blowing amazingness of Stephanie Shrum's therapeutic…read morebodywork & massage practice. She's easily one of the ultimate best, most high ranked bodyworkers in my life... I've received lots of bodywork & massage over the years, and she's either in the top 3 or she's the #1 out of all the massage therapists I've received from. She makes really good massage therapists look like beginners or amateurs. Having said that, she is not who to go to if you want "light & fluffy" massage.. If you want something spa-like and relaxing and sensual - don't go to her. Don't go to her if you want just a nice rubdown w/ some oil. That's not to say her work isn't relaxing and sensual - it is, but her work goes much deeper than that. Go to Stephanie if you want to get really deeply worked. She is a masterful healer, and she works on multiple levels; her work is therapeutic, spiritual, energetic, physical, emotional... I feel that she's extremely psychic and empathic and is able to understand my body better than I am able to myself. There is such a deep experience and journey that I undertake when receiving from her, it's as though she's releasing all my tension, physical pain and emotions all together... And she just sees it, she gets it.. She's so present and so there. Plus she's been doing bodywork & massage for most of her adult life, so she's been trained in every modality - is well practiced and deeply seasoned. She's a master. And she also has some really great "sensual" tricks up her sleeve that are also wonderful.. but her work is relaxing on the deepest level of a therapeutic full body / being adjustment.. Honestly I've never experienced the level of psychic presence & empathic listening from another bodyworker or healer before. she's on a whole other level..... It's like she's an angel, and she's just lovingly clearing everything out..... (ps; what Stephanie said. the sensuality of her work is indeed the music, the aromatherapy & hot towel...)

After waiting ONE YEAR for an MRI on my seriously painful back, after epidurals & opiates, bc the orthopedic doc wouldn't see me without one, I had to call orthopedics & bc they knew me from other ailments, I got a PA appointment so she could order the MRI for me. FINALLY! I don't have a rotator cuff bc the doc I had then waited too long to get me the care I needed. My bad shoulder became worse to where even surgery can't fix it. I asked the doctor if he had gotten me care sooner would I be without a cuff. His answer? PROBABLY (with a shrug like, "yeah, & your point is?") I only go there bc I have to.
