Stephanie Crouse acquired her New York Massage Therapist License in 2014 and Esthetician License in 2020 after moving from Washington State where she had been an LMP since 2008. She had found her calling in hands-on therapy at the age of 13 and the passion to complete schooling never left her and so was able to realize her dream in her early 30s.

Stephanie opened and solely ran her studio after graduating for 5 years before moving to NY where after earning her License she spent several years in area Spas until once again opening her own studio. Stephanie was drawn to more therapeutic and Deeper pressure massage early in her career and knowing the physical demands on the practitioner's hands and body, she pursued education in many techniques that would both extend her career and deliver massage pressure that would be most beneficial to her clients. This led to her initial training in DeepFeet Ashiatsu Bar Therapy and then further into DeepFeet Silks and additionally Next Level Pain Relief. These therapies utilize gravity and body weight to deliver massage pressure through her feet to administer deeper strokes minus the pointed pain that can occur when using elbows and thumbs. This way of working is easier received by the nervous system and encourages deep relaxation and deeper muscle release. NLPR is performed with client fully clothed on the table or mar on the floor using stretching and compression for multiple hours to be able to fully address the client’s issue using open communication and client feedback.

Looking to branch into complementary services, Stephanie got her Esthetics license and specializes in compromised skin care as she herself has dealt with Rosacea and other skin conditions. She retails as well as offers signature facials using the Hale and Hush product line which was originated to help extremely sensitive and health-challenged skin, specifically Oncology patients but definitely not limited to and is fantastic for healthy skin as well.

Having been surrounded for all of my life by health care professionals, I found holistic wellness a natural draw. After receiving a AAS degree from ECC, I spent several years working at Body Essential as a Clinical Office Assistant, working with clients and practitioners alike, to assist in the wellness process. In 2005, I was introduced to the world of essential oils for health and wellness. I have taken that interest and turned it into a profession by becoming a Certified Aromatherapist through the Aromahead Institute. I combined my love of children and wellness in becoming a Certified Children’s Yoga Instructor through Kidding Around Yoga in 2017. I completed my Reiki Master and became a Licensed Massage Therapist as well to assist with my client’s holistic wellness healing.

Phil is from Chicago, IL, trained at the Chicago School of Massage Therapy, continued study at Trocaire College, and is licensed in Illinois and New York. His massage practice has grown hand-in-hand with a career in professional dance, working with several modern, jazz, and contemporary dance companies in Buffalo and Chicago. CSMT’s philosophy of “Movement is Health” inspired Phil to integrate lessons from dancing into his modalities, including Sports preparation/recovery, Clinical Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Body Mobilization, Oncology, Swedish Relaxation, Cranio-Sacral, and Shiatsu. Through first-hand experience with physical training, recovery from Musculo-skeletal injuries, and anxiety from high level performance, Phil knows the importance of keeping your body functioning at its best. He works with a combination of sensitivity and strength to identify disfunction and eliminate pain.

He believes in the body’s intuition to tell us what it needs to heal itself, and with proper training and care it will support us to achieve whatever level of fitness we desire. Therapeutic results don’t have to conflict with an enjoyable experience, and Phil’s massage aims to accomplish both simultaneously. Each massage is a partnership, granting tailor-made sessions to address short term and long-term health and fitness goals. Whether that be eliminating a specific pain, replacing stress with contentment, preparing for an athletic event, or recovery from injury, Phil applies the same thoroughness and attention.

I graduated from nursing school in 2015, and began my career as a nurse on a medical/surgical unit. As a nurse, I often saw suffering where there need not be. As medical professionals, our goal is to do everything possible to keep someone alive. What happens when that is no longer possible? Everyone panics and we allow fear to take over, instead of seeing death as a natural human process. Being born means we all must die.

I ignored my calling then, however I would take care of patients on hospice and would sneak into their rooms and remind them they were on their way to meet loved ones they had lost.

Covid came, which ultimately ended my career in the hospital and I switched to homecare nursing. It was there, I met a patient who will forever be very dear to my heart. He was dying of terminal cancer. He was young and he did not want to leave his wife of 17 years and 12 year old son. I naturally felt pulled to guide him through the dying process. I felt like this is my soul’s work. After he passed I knew that this is why I am here.

I completed the INELDA death doula course in November 2023 to become a trained Death Doula. I have since worked with clients and their families to help ease the intense suffering that comes during death. I believe, death is not a medical event, it is a human event meant to be shared with those closest to us and the higher power calling us home. It is in the sacred space created in the end that allows families to feel comfortable discussing their hopes, fears, and wished in a way that creates intention and closure while incorporating wellness, peace, and beauty. I work with individuals and their families as a journey guide through advance care planning, resources, and support as well as a spiritual guide. I help them navigate through hospice, vigil, and the grieving process with compassion, love, support and understanding that this is a sacred time.
