Deep Tissue Massage


Deep Tissue massage is often misunderstood as simply being “hard pressure,” but its true purpose is more precise. Rather than focusing on intensity, this style works methodically into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to address specific areas of chronic tension, restricted movement, or pain. Practitioners use slower, targeted strokes and techniques at varying depths to release adhesions and restore mobility, making it especially beneficial for those dealing with repetitive strain, posture-related discomfort, or long-term tightness. Deep Tissue is often paired with Swedish massage, allowing the body to relax into the session while still receiving focused, therapeutic attention where it’s needed most.

Home of the Hearth

  • Home Of The Hearth began as a personal study about herbs and plants and how they can play a role in the physical and spiritual healing of individuals. The new creations were gifted to friends and family to potentially aid them in their lives. The passion of herbs turned into a business providing herb infused body butters, hair oils, sugar scrubs, anointing and spiritual oils. 

    States of consciousness became very apparent the longer the studies of Herbs went on and how lower states of consciousness ( Alpha, Theta, and Delta ) can potentially induce a deep sense of healing for the mind and body.

    The mission became clear. Home of the Hearth's goal is to provide a personalized session targeting the persons' goals and intention. Helping to facilitate self healing- an experience personal to them through a wide selection of modalities to choose from.

    Massage Therapy, Reiki Energy Sessions, Sea Moss Gel, and Divination Readings came soon after.

Comfort Care Massage

  • Caring for others has always been at the heart of Stephanie’s work. From serving meals to providing round-the-clock support in nursing homes, she has consistently chosen paths that allow her to make people feel seen and cared for. Massage therapy became a natural extension of that calling—an opportunity to bring both comfort and relief through skilled, compassionate touch.

Using muscle-melting techniques and focused attachment point work, she releases tension in a way so gentle that clients often drift into sleep—waking to a sense of renewal.

    In addition to her therapeutic table massage, Stephanie also offers Shiatsu Massage, a Japanese bodywork practice that uses gentle pressure along energy pathways to restore balance and flow. This unique approach allows her to support not just physical relaxation, but also energetic harmony.
