Hey, I’m Steph.
I Help People Stay Wild & Injury-Free
Deep Tissue & Performance Bodywork for Active Bodies
I’m a trail runner, cyclist and bodywork therapist with a deep appreciation for tired legs, tight shoulders and the joy of moving well. I know the highs of a tough climb, and the frustration of a body that feels overworked or out of balance. That’s why I do what I do.
With a background in yoga, movement and sports therapy, I combine deep tissue, targeted recovery work and restorative techniques to release tension, improve mobility and support long-term resilience.
You don’t have to be an athlete - but you’ll be treated like one.
Whether you’re training hard, managing stress, sitting too much, or simply needing to reset, I help you move better, feel lighter and stay connected to the things you love.

My Approach
Sports Massage Therapy
As an athlete myself, I’m a big believer in the power of regular sports massage to keep the body moving well—especially during heavy training blocks and around big goal events. It’s become an essential part of how I stay injury-free, recover faster, and feel ready to show up at my best.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is designed to release built-up tension and ease chronic tightness from training, stress or long hours at a desk. I work slowly and intentionally into areas that need attention, helping restore mobility, reduce discomfort and bring your body back into balance.
Relaxation Session
Sometimes your body simply needs to slow down. Relaxation sessions are gentle, flowing and restorative - designed to calm the nervous system, ease general tension and help you fully switch off. This is time to breathe, reset and leave feeling lighter and deeply restored.

Less Headaches, Stress & Anxiety
Support your parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s “rest and restore” mode—to gently release built-up physical tension and emotional stress where it’s being held. It’s a powerful way to invite deep healing and balance, from the inside out.

The path to peak performance starts with a body that moves well—free from recurring niggles and chronic injuries. When everything’s working as it should, you can train harder, recover faster, and show up at your best.
What Clients are Saying
"Excellent massage experience at Steph’s Studio. The Sports Massage left me feeling rejuvenated and energised for the rest of the week. I had especially big knots in my quads, and she really helped fix that problem area."
Armin Prinsloo - Ultra Trail Runner

FAQ
-
Not at all! While it’s great for athletes, sports massage is for anyone dealing with tightness, pain, or restricted movement.
Sports massage is a deep form of soft tissue work that helps relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and support recovery. It’s not just for athletes—anyone with an active lifestyle (or desk job!) can benefit.
