Hey, I’m Steph.

I Help Athletes Stay Wild & Injury-Free

I’m a trail runner, cyclist, and sports massage therapist with a deep appreciation for sore legs and happy adventures. I know firsthand the highs of conquering a tough climb… and the lows of wondering if your quads will ever forgive you. That’s why I do what I do.

With a background in yoga and sports massage therapy, I take a movement-focused approach to recovery. I don’t just dig into tight muscles—I help you understand what your body needs to keep up with your passion, whether that’s chasing singletrack, logging road miles, or getting lost in the mountains.

Whether you're deep in training, recovering from an event, or just need to reset your body, I’ve got you covered.

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.

    Better Fatigue & Injury Recovery

    A fully aligned body means less wear and tear on your joints, smoother movement, and better overall health. It’s the secret sauce for staying strong, mobile, and active for the long run.

    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.

    Optimise Your Performance & Health

    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."
