Born in the summer, Stephen has always loved the beach and hot weather. So, to pursue his dream he moved to the OBX full time. Living in the beautiful outer banks, it became evident that the balance between work and play would be crucial. Only a matter of fate brought yoga to steve. Growing up his Argentinian mother instilled the importance of physical health & fitness, therefore he loved to stay active with surfing, swimming, and the gym. Finally, thanks to sheer fulcher, he found a regular weekly practice to establish a true passion for yoga. This eventually led to getting 200RYT from Mark Gregory’s Donate Yoga out of Hawaii. Stephen completed his massage therapy certification at The Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy in 2023. In his spare time, he owns and runs a small landscaping company as well as creating art and cooking.

My training in massage therapy was not the standard training most therapists receive. The Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy created a foundation of professionalism and high quality bodywork for me. My teachers were from around the globe, each of them specializing in the subject taught. My school was hands on from the beginning and focused a great deal on experience in the profession. I attribute my high standards in bodywork and professionalism to my elite training.

I specialize in therapeutic massage, usually including deep and targeted work. I am eager to assist clients suffering from chronic pain and/or looking for change in the body. It is my goal to provide a service to clients that is exceptional. I listen to every clients needs and expectations and do my best to facilitate healing. I consider it a responsibility to inform and educate clients about their bodies within the scope of my practice. I also consider it a responsibility to ensure every client is comfortable in every session. Communication is an important part of my practice and I encourage clients to feel comfortable doing so with me.

I offer services to local clientele as well as those vacationing. I enjoy traveling to clients all over the beach from Corova to Hatteras. I am happy to accommodate every clients needs for massage services the best I can. I am equipped to schedule groups with multiple therapists if need be. I have very high standards for other therapists and only work with the best. Any associate I book for a client will provide professional, top of line massage services. Please refer to the SERVICES page for details on rates and services offered. I look forward to working with you!
