I have been going to Stephanie for over a year now. I'm very active so inevitably I have some muscle aches and pains from time to time. Stephanie works out all the kinks so I can stay active. I swear she has magic hands! Every session is as relaxing as it is helpful for my muscle aches. I regularly get the one hour myofascial release, lately I've been trying deep tissue to help with an injury, and I would highly recommend trying hot/cold stone massage with her as well. It's the best especially in the winter.

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Go with your gut. If you get a sense of ease when you speak to a potential massage therapist, it's probably a good sign. Also, don't be afraid to speak up regarding what you like and don't like, if the pressure is too deep or not enough, if you are hot or cold, don't like the music, etc. If your MT is getting annoyed or offended, it's time to find another. Good MTs _want_ to know these things and make them right.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Most customers want to know how I can massage all day long. They think my hands must hurt. But I use my whole body so I don't have to muscle through with my hands. I provide couples' massage lessons where I show ergonomic body mechanics as well as simple techniques. Most couples take away more from the body mechanics than the techniques. They love that they can massage their partner for 20 minutes instead of two.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Research the licensing requirements for your state. Do massage therapists have to be certified by the National Board? Does the state have its own license? Make sure the therapist you hire is compliant. Ask the therapist if they belong to a professional association that provides them with liability insurance (such as AMTA, AMBP, etc). Also ask the therapist what modalities they specialize in or if they specialize in any particular type of injury/problem. Ask them specifically about your problem and gauge how knowledgable and confident they seem about being able to help you.

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. Yes! I'm required by the state of Maryland to have 24 continuing education credits (hours) every two years. 18 can be in whatever I like (Reflexology or Stone Therapy Massage, for example). Three need to be in ethics and the last three need to be about communicable disease, including HIV/AIDS. I'm also required to be CPR/first aid certified at all times.
