These are my four favorite words.  Whether you have a sports injury, a sore back, a headache or a chronic pain condition like fibromyalgia, I dedicate myself to helping you relieve and manage your pain with as few drugs as possible.  Addressing pain on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level isn't a luxury; it's the least I can do for my clients.

But don't take my word for it--subscribe to my mailing list and receive a free download of my e-book, Self Care for Back Pain. In it I describe some simple ways to address the most common problems my clients bring me. Let me know what you think!

Also, here's my bio. I look forward to getting to know you.

is Stephanie Lee Jackson, LMT.  I have been practicing massage therapy for thirteen years, obtaining my certification at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA.  There I studied the fundamentals of Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, and Reflexology, but my real education came in the ensuing years of working with clients. Most recently I have been studying Tom Meyers' Anatomy Trains, which is invaluable in helping me resolve long-term myofascial imbalances which lead to pain and injury.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked at the Balance Health Center in Philadelphia, Wall Street Chiropractic in Manhattan, Healing Arts in Brooklyn, and Casa de los Espiritus in Guanajuato, Mexico.  I write a column on massage therapy for the Philadelphia Examiner.

Giving a great massage is more like playing the violin than washing a car; it takes knowledge, intuition, and enormous amounts of practice.  I learn something from every client, and from every therapist I work with.  When you book a session with me, you're getting the benefit of more than a decade of discovery.  You'll feel better in ways you didn't imagine were possible.

Stephanie is a Pennsylvania State licensed massage therapist, License Number MSG001807. She is insured by Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.
