The massage was fantastic. I have a sore lower back and hips and Stepan relieved the soreness. It was the best massage I've ever had and if I were still in the area this would become a go-to part of my wellness routine. read more

I have been going to Head to Toe Harmony for years. Stepan is a wonderful man who makes me feel most comfortable in the warm setting of his studio. Stepan is an experienced masseuse providing the best deep tissue massage I've ever had. Stepan adjusts his technique to my needs at the time. Stepan's approach to healthy mind, body and spirit leaves me relaxed and rejuvenated. Can't wait to go back! read more

There's nothing better than a great massage. Per my job, I spend many hours sitting and my shoulders and lower back gets very tense. I've had many massages but I must say this has been one of the best massages I've had. Stepan knows precisely where the pressure points and how to provide relief especially on those tense muscles. I highly recommend a massage with Stephan. I bet you'll keep going back like I have. read more

Stephan is a magician. He is an expert at understanding that the balance of pressure and hitting the right areas is what makes a great (and therapeutic) massage for me. He has an intuitive sense of how and where to work on the specific muscle groups that are giving me problems. And he does excellent facial-cranial work. He is far better - and cheaper - than anyone at Massage Envy. His space is clean and inviting. He is just the best. read more

Stephan was a great first experience as to what a professional massage should solve for. He made sure to talk me through the work he will do, and offer different ways to sit, and position myself to alleviate additional stress and tension. After the consultation, I was able to get settled on to a prepared table and had complete focus and attention placed on areas needed. Stephan made sure to alert me that soreness will be common for the week ahead, but that it wasn't anything to worry about. I walked out of there still feeling a bit stiff, and the days following were pretty sore. After about a week (just as he said!), things lifted and I felt 100% better and good as new. This was my first experience and I really appreciated all the care and attention (and even the follow up email!) that was sent to ensure I didn't have any other questions or concerns following the appointment. I hope to not get to that level of stiffness again, but for any needs I have, this will be my go-to place! read more

As a physical therapist and ultra-marathon runner, I was in need of a professional massage to alleviate "miles" of back and leg pain. During my online search, I found Stephan to be highly recommended. I was impressed by the pristine presentation of Stephan's office, his welcoming manner and professionalism when discussing my injuries. Stephan skillfully worked through my pain and injuries for our hour long session. When finished, I felt remarkable improvement in my back and leg pain for the first time in months. I will certainly return to Stephan for follow up work, and recommend my physical therapy clients to see Stephan. Thank you Stephan! read more

I had a message with Stepan last week. He was very kind and respectful, so I felt very comfortable. He spoke with me for a few minutes before the massage to talk about my physical issues. I had a therapeutic massage which was intense and very beneficial, but he also does Swedish massages and said he could do some combination if I preferred. The massage was excellent. His space in Montclair is lovely and peaceful. I highly recommend! read more

I received the best massage ever at Head To Toe Harmony. I'd been sitting too long for weeks/months, and ended up with stiffness and kinks that were getting worse everyday. I am giving 5 stars for (a) ambiance, (b) cleanliness (c) professionalism (d) price and (e) quality. Head To Toe Harmony is located in a serene, historical building on a quite street in Montclair. The room is warm and calming - very welcoming. Pricing is reasonable. Stephen was very professional in assessing me, and listening to my issues and concerns. (I'd had negative massage experiences in the past). He was able to pinpoint my problem areas and apply techniques to alleviate/improve my kinks and stiffness. I highly recommend Head To Toe Harmony if you are looking for a quality massage. I plan to return on a regular basis. Go see Stephen, you will not be disappointed. read more

Stephan is an absolute expert in massage therapy and takes great care to make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way and that your issues are addressed. If you have back pain and want to get to the bottom of it Stephan is for you! I also appreciated that he took a ton of extra time to show me stretches and posture tips. I got more insight from Stephan than I do from most doctors! Highly highly recommend! read more

Stephan and I had a lovely chat when I initially reached out in search of a much-needed massage. He was very accommodating to my travel schedule and timing, and we made a plan. When the day arrived for my treatment, I was overwhelmed by the traffic and the delays of morning tasks, and he was flexible about my arrival time. Unlike the more formal staffed spa experience, I arrived to a beautiful house typical of the architecture in the area - massive craftsman-style estates with mossy color and corbels and interesting trim. I parked alongside of a community garden that I later learned was run by Stephan's wife. I learned this because when I arrived I was served chai with freshly ground spices and had time to sit and chat. We learned about one another in ways related and unrelated to massage, which made me feel like a welcomed guest and not just a client. I'm a person who struggles to feel warm, and the weather on this particular day was in the thirties and rainy - typically northeast weather. The massage table was very warm, perfectly comfortable with none of the unfortunate massage table squeaks (from hundreds of bodies of a busy spa setting), and the room had cozy wool rugs, lots of salt lamps, and gentle classical music overtones. Stephan welcomed me to advise him about the pressure, and he even thanked me when I made one suggestion about the level that was best. He modified his pressure and the targeted areas, and I felt cared for throughout the experience. I was amazed, as I often am when working with a truly talented healer, that he identified troublesome areas that linked to other stiff and sore spots and worked these until they released and softened into nothing. I know that when I am in this area again I will most definitely return and will treat these appointments as pilgrimages into my health and to having met a very warm, genuine, interesting, and talented person. read more

Absolutely beautiful place, relaxing atmosphere, but most importantly- tremendous service! Stepan, is professional, educated in his field, friendly, kind, you will leave feeling brand new. I give it a 10 out of five! read more

Wow! Just WOW! I suffer from chronic back pain. I tried most of the massage parlors in Montclair but Stephen's service is whole another level of massage! My massage this morning was exceptional. Thanks Stephen. He is knowledgeable, professional and very approachable. He loves what he does and executes it to the perfection. I am so glad I found him and looking forward to more massages in the future. Cheers!!!!! read more

Bill M. If you have a some nagging aches and pains, if anyone can help, it is Stefan. Stefan is very well versed in the body's musculature and potential pain areas and is an expert at massage. Don't be conned by the many so called massage spas they really are inferior when it comes to massages. Stefan is, to me, tops in the massage field. He helped me get relief for my back when doctors could not since they really do not care much unless you are a candidate for expensive surgery. The massage I had with Stefan was deep tissue but if you are more sensitive, he will readily adjust the pressure. Just ask. If you are in pain, give Stefan a call and I feel you will be glad you did. read more

Like the other reviewer, this was the best massage I've ever had. Stephan is a master - and very kind and courteous. He worked a lot of kinks out in my body and could tell even before I said anything when the pressure needed to be adjusted. His office is very relaxing and beautiful too. And wow was the table nice and toasty! I am glad I found him (a search spawned after I had a bad massage experience at Elements in Montclair). Stephan cares about his work and his clients. Highly recommend! read more

I purchased a gift card for a therapeutic massage for my parents. They loved their experience with Stephan and appreciated his professionalism. They said this was one of the best massages they ever got and they will definitely return the next time they are in Montclair! read more

This was hands down one of the best massages I've ever had if not the best. Stefan is wonderful! This place is an incredible find. I was developing a migraine due to tension/stress and was desperate to find some relief. I happened to call Stefan at Head to Toe Harmony and left a message saying that I really needed to find someone who could give me a massage that day. Stefan got back to me within a number of minutes and gave me clear instructions on where to find him (second floor of building 25) and where I could park (garage about 5 minutes away, valet lot next door--I parked in the garage, which I highly recommend so you don't stress yourself out with meter parking. It's the same price per hour in any case). Stefan was extremely warm, friendly, caring, and professional. He took the time to sit and listen to my history with back problems and made sure I was comfortable (the heated massage table is certainly nice!). The ambiance in the room was very nice, although the building's first floor shares office space with a realty company so it is not your typical "spa" environment. However, everything was perfect and calming and tranquil within the massage room itself. Stefan's knowledge, caring and passion for healing through massage is evident. Not only was the massage wonderful, but I didn't feel rushed in and out, stressed, or short-changed like I have when I've visited other spa settings with an assembly line-style schedule. It also was a bonus that he gave me 90 minutes of time but charged me for 60 minutes because I was a first time client. He also apparently offers a punch card--after so many massages (6 I believe) you get one free! I will definitely be coming back here. read more

I went to Stephan because I had severe neck pain and it was causing awful headaches. I had a deep tissue massage and he explained every single step. The office is very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been regularly getting massages for more than 5 years and started going to Stefan when I was pregnant with my first child; after my previous massage therapist disappeared on me. They were amazing and made me feel great throughout my pregnancy! On top of the normal aches and pains women get when pregnant, I suffer from migraines, as well as lingering effects of various sports injuries, especially to my shoulder and back. I also have a very stressful job. Without Stefan's massages, which both eased my pains and relieved my stress, my pregnancy would have been difficult, to saw the least; but because I saw Stefan regularly, it was a pretty easy pregnancy. I continue to see Stefan regularly for both pain relief and relaxation. My shoulder and back pain are minimal and my migraines have been non-existent! I really could not more highly recommend Stefan to anyone. read more

Stephan is a true artist! He takes his craft seriously and he is indeed a master. I have been a loyal client for several years and will continue to follow where ever he leads. Each and every time I visit Stephan, is memorable! I highly recommend Stephan to friends, family and strangers alike - He is a consummate professional! read more

I have been seeing Stefan for almost a year now and I must say it is not only the best massage in Montclair but the best massage I've had in New Jersey. As someone who is also in the service industry trust me you will not regret going here. Stefan is well educated on the body and great at making you feel comfortable! ENJOY! read more

I had my first massage with Stepan a few days ago, and will definitely be going back for more. He was friendly and engaging before the session, asking me about my goals for the session, but also funny. During the session, he focused on addressing problem areas, while checking in from time to time to make sure that I was comfortable. The studio is very peaceful and lends itself to relaxation. While I have not had a LOT of massages, this was definitely one of the best. It didn't feel rushed, and Stepan's touch was intuitive, finding areas of tension that I didn't realize were even there! Afterwards, we sat for a few minutes before wrapping up. I look forward to setting up my next appointment! read more

Head to Toe Harmony is the ultimate in massage therapy. Stephan is a very skilled, professional massage therapist who creates a relaxing, rich environment for clients. I often request his deep tissue massage, which erases my muscle knots and stiffness. He also uses natural oils and scents specifically chosen to treat my sinus congestion. He is by far the best massage therapist I have ever found and I have been going to him for two years now. I absolutely recommend Head to Toe Harmony for massage therapy. read more

I have followed Stephan throughout his career. I have had massages around the world and at top locations in NYC. He is, by far, the only person who knows exactly how to relieve the pain in my back and shoulders. Stephan is never rushed. He takes the time to understand your issues, apply techniques that are unique to your condition, and keep at it until the issue is improved or resolved. Stephan's space is relaxing, he has good energy, and he is a caring person. I strongly recommend him to anyone needing a therapeutic massage or a relaxing treat. read more

Stephan is terrific! Best massage ever. He really cares that you get the best massage experience . He's worked out many kinks in my body over the years, as well as providing total relaxation. The space is immaculate, and very calming. I'd highly recommend Head To Toe Harmony. read more

Simply exceptional, second to none. Cannot be compared to any other massage therapy I have had. My experience at massage envy doesn't even come close. The environment is so peaceful and relaxing, as for the massage experience...I really didn't want it to end. Stephan was very professional, yet warm and genuine. He made me feel like my well-being was the most important thing from the moment I called to book my appointment and even after receiving my therapy. Stephan's customer services approach is exemplary as there was a follow-up call to check that I was okay. His services exceeded my expectations. Chinwe, NJ. read more
