Stephanie brings a vast experience with her into the treatment room. Her speciality is the

combination of deep pressure, hot stones, cupping and thai table massage. But, her clients would

tell you that she has this innate way of finding your problem areas, that you weren’t even aware

existed. Stephanie describes this as an intuitive massage. She just lets her “fingers do the

walking”. But, that’s not to say that her massages are “fluff”. She uses her knowledge from

working in medical environments and combines it with her experience in the Spa environment to

create the session that both addresses your body concerns and leaves you feeling oh so relaxed.

She will make a point to inform you that “pain is not the game” and we are looking for the sweet

spot of “oh that hurts, so good”. Once we find that place and work together through breath work

and pressure, the session takes on its true balance of therapeutic touch and relaxation.

Beyond bodywork, Stephanie is a yoga teacher, a sales manager for 707Flora Skincare and an

Ayurvedic health and life coach. She has spent the last 12 years diving deeper into Ayurveda

through yoga, meditation, panchakarma therapies, and her health and life coach certification. It

amazes her to be able to look into the body through the face, tongue, and pulse assessment and

have it give you an inside view of how the body is functioning. Which brings her back to her

yoga teacher training and favorite quote...

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from

physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.” ~ B.K.S. Iyengar

Hi, my name is Katie. I'm the owner of Earth Body Massage.

I was lucky to grow up here in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Roaming around the desert brush with my 4 siblings is a favorite past time of mine. I have always been a healer at heart since I was little, this evolved into my love for massage therapy. After graduating from Mountain View High School I was ready to explore other parts of the world and gain an education. I headed to Massage Therapy School in Costa Rica the summer of 2006. Studying a modality I am passionate about in a setting like the coast line of Costa Rica was a dream come true. When I returned I started my massage career at Festivals, Spa's and Chiropractic clinics. Earth Body was established in 2008 as a solo practice and has grown ever since. Skincare has always been a passion of mine, so in 2016 I went back to school to get my Esthetics License and Advanced Medical Aesthetics License. I was immediatley drawn to tattoo removal and opened Fade Out Tattoo Removal in 2016. 

 While I have stepped back from the physical work of massage, you can find me behind the scenes or stepping in here or there. Thank you for supporting Earth Body. We have a fantastic team of skilled, wonderful massage therapists.
