Testimonials

These are real reviews from clients I’ve worked with over the past 20+ years, both in Baltimore and now in Arizona, and in a variety of settings (spa, home office, mobile, studio). They are sorted alphabetically.

My clients come from all walks of life: white collar, blue collar, beauty professionals, medical professionals, athletes, people with chronic illness and autoimmune challenges – adults of all ages. Most of my long-term clients have had many massages. I’m so grateful for their trust and kind words.

2 hour massage

I have been going to Stephanie for about 8 years now. I would never let another massage therapist work on me. I am a hair stylist so on my feet all day, I have major back and joint issues and she always has me feeling better after a session.

A great massage

My first massage with Stephanie was wonderful, and I plan on scheduling with her again soon! Very relaxing and professional

A massage therapist who listens

Stephanie actually listened to my intake and avoided working on my ticklish ribs, and she also spent extra time on my scalp and face like I asked. I’ve had so many massage therapists ignore this request and create discomfort during the massage. Hats off to Stephanie, and I will return!

A most wonderful experience

Stephanie is kind, patient, professional and very skilled. The massage experience was deeply relaxing and therapeutic. Her technique is well developed and her studio is a pocket of tranquility in the city. Thanks Stephanie!

Always the best

Having tried many of the massage locations in town, I always coming away wishing I had gone to Stephanie. Her technique is excellent and she obviously knows how to give a wonderful massage but the fact that she truly listens to what is going on in terms of aches or tension and then customizes the massage is part of what sets her apart. Everyone asks if you have pain but I’ve yet to see anyone actually mold the massage to fix issues like Stephanie does. Absolutely the best.

Amazing

Stephanie is amazing. She’s competent, professional, and caring, and the work she does is very effective! She handled the dull ache in my legs (I’m a distance runner) rather adroitly. I agree with other reviewers: she tailors her work to what you need. Stephanie’s experience is definitely a plus. The prices she’s set are far better than other massages that aren’t nearly as effective.

The salon out front may give the wrong impression. Ignore that. She’s got her own setup in the back, and it’s a wonderful atmosphere.

Amazing

Thanks again Stephanie for the amazing message!! I’ve been going to her for about 1.5-2 years and without a doubt she’s always manages to work out my knots in my shoulders and neck! She was kind enough to squeeze me in one day when I finally got a day off work a couple days before! Her messages are always relaxing and comfortable. Thank you so much!!

Amazing Massage

I have had many massages over the years but Stephanie was the best. She listened to my concerns and did a great job at focusing on those areas. I can’t wait to go back!

Amazing massage

The experience with Stephanie was relaxing and thorough. Stephanie herself (as well as her space) is calming, friendly, and extremely welcoming. Will definitely be returning!

An excellent masseuse

Stephanie Porcaro is an excellent masseuse. An hour under her hands was memorable in the best ways. She was succinct in her directions, direct in manner, and memorably professional in her skill at easing the body’s knots and clenches. I will return for more.

As Always, Another Amazing Massage

I have had several massages with Stephanie and each one is truly amazing. She dopes a great job on focusing on the areas that I needed the most attention and ended the session with some much needed stretching. Can’t wait until my next massage!

— Kristie M

Awesome Massage

Thank you Stephanie for a wonderful massage experience! I’ve only had 5 massages up to this point and I must say, your technique is by the best. You provide such a serene relaxing environment. I will definitely be back.

— Bernadette M

Awesome!

One of the best massages I’ve had in a long time! I barely had to describe the issue related to the chronic nerve pain I was having and Stephanie knew exactly how to locate and treat it. She built the entire session around treating my specific area of pain. I left there with more energy than if I had slept for a week. I have to admit I was a little skeptical of the location, but I would definitely go again!

— L.B

Awesome!

Was my first time getting a massage, and it was super relaxing. Felt great afterwards! Stephanie creates a very welcoming environment and briefly chatted with me about my needs beforehand. Would totally go again.

Best massage EVER

I’ve had massages across the world in five star spas in Thailand, Greece, Napa Valley, Etc etc and Stephanie is BY FAR THE BEST

— D.T

Best Massage Ever!

From the moment I stepped into Stephanie’s studio, I knew I was in for a treat. The lights were low, there was an incredibly delicious, mild fragrance and Stephanie quietly said, “You relax. I will do all the work!” Her pressure was perfect and her attention to each area was exceptional!

— Randy G

Best massage in town!

Stephanie is really knowledgeable and gets all of the knots out. Great massage! I highly recommend!!

— Krista D

Best Massage Therapist

I love getting massages and have tried many different massage therapists since moving here many years ago. I personally like very deep tissue massages and Stephanie delivers every time. She always gets all the spots and if I could, I would get a massage from her every week!

— Jessica S

Best massage!

I read every review on her site and it was clear her customers were all satisfied. They were right! Stephanie was friendly and professional. She focused on the areas that were bothering me and found a few more spots that I didn’t know were tight. I will definitely return and have already recommended her to friends.
