Massage therapy is the application of pressure to the muscles and soft tissues of the body for relaxation and health. It addresses a variety of conditions such as stress-related illness, sleep disorders, pain, headaches, high blood pressure, diabetes, post-operative swelling, and depression. If you want to know what to expect, here's a look at the massages we offer.
One of the greatest gifts we can give to another is the gift of our presence and attention. One of the best ways to give our attention is to learn to listen in a different way. We can listen not only with our ears, but with our sense of touch as well. Through touch, we can listen to the physical needs of others.
Massage classes are taught by our fully certified and licensed massage therapists who are experts in their fields. These classes are designed for non-professionals who are interested in enhancing their massage skills to use on loved ones in their home. These classes do not qualify an individual to work as a professional massage therapist.
Because A Step Beyond Massage Therapy is by appointment only, your appointment is time reserved exclusively for you and we request that you please review our cancellation policy. Due to client request, we have added the option to add online gratuity for your convenience. You can now add a $10 - $30 tip for your therapist as an "add-on" service and be completely paid for before even walking in the door.

This place is phenomenal! Fast and easy communication, the woman was so polite and worked with me to be able to pay for the massages. Place was clean and the therapists were very friendly, and knowledgeable about working things out in your body. Definitely will be going again!

A Step Beyond Massage Studio was recommended to me after I had surgery for Breast Cancer. Because I couldn't sleep on my sides, I had a terrible pinched nerve in my back. The owner Mariah got me in right away with Thea Delaney. She worked absolute wonders for me. She was patient and so incredibly knowledgeable. She was able to help with healing from my radiation as well, since she's skilled in lymphatic massage. I cannot recommend this studio or massage therapist enough. I continue to see Thea monthly for maintenance massage and my body thanks me!

Thea was a fantastic massage therapist. I get massages often enough to know she gave me an excellent deep tissue massage, targeting my hip and lower back. It was healing and alleviated my discomfort. She explained the muscle and ligament involvement, taught me a simple self massage technique, gave me 2 stretch exercises to prevent the muscles from getting tight again. She even wrote down the muscles involved. It felt amazing and was exactly what I was seeking. She got into the tissue deeply in various positions and released the hip. I feel better after having discomfort for 6 weeks.

Christin did a great job with a deep tissue massage I received this week. I highly recommend her for three reasons: 1. she applied enough pressure for it to be a deep tissue massage, 2. she targeted areas and muscles that were giving me trouble and she was able to discern that by her experience, without direction, 3. she was thorough and is clearly skilled in her profession. Definitely recommend her to others.

Great atmosphere. Skilled, courteous staff. I will be going back.
I had a wonderful first experience here recently with a 60-minute full body deep tissue massage. The atmosphere was relaxing from the moment I arrived. I was greeted warmly, gently, and sincerely by the welcoming staff. My therapist put me at ease -- she was equally comfortable chatting congenially when I felt like talking, or allowing me to remain silent with my thoughts for long stretches during the session. Her hands were warm, gentle but firm, confident, and never rushed. With the combined atmosphere of the music, light, simple
