“We’re extremely delighted, grateful, honored, and humbled, all at the same time,” Stephanie E. Knight LMT, Escape Wellness Spa founder and owner, said. “We put a lot of thought and effort into making sure every client feels cared for, and has a memorable experience and it is especially inspiring to be recognized for it. Winning Independent News Best of the Coast Awards every year keeps us motivated to not only keep our standards of excellence high, but to continue raising them every year. We’re proud to constantly keep looking for ways we can be better than the best!”
Founded in 2007 by Knight, a licensed massage therapist, Escape Wellness Spa is known for its signature transformative massage, which uses a holistic approach to determine the root cause of the tension, and the most efficient healing technique to address it. Knight herself has over a decade of industry experience and expertise, having worked with masters such as Erik Dalton for Myoskeletal Alignment, James Waslaski for Orthopedic Massage, Thomas Meyers for postural alignment and body reading, and Thai Yoga Bodywork with Michael Buck and Blakely Parent.
Escape’s mission is to provide Empathy, Stress-relief, Compassion, Awareness, and Education for their clients, community, and co-workers. Its philosophy also advocates that spa treatments are not a mere luxury, but a necessity for overall well-being; especially for avoiding stress-related health issues such as muscle tension, chronic pains, skin disorders, loss of sleep etc… She added “We focus on addressing the cause, not just temporarily chasing away the pain. Even if you think you are coming to us for just ‘simple’ relaxing or de-stressing, we will ensure that your massage will soothe your nervous system and stimulate the lymphatic system for optimal health and well-being.
Escape Wellness Spa’s line-up of special massage services includes Hot Stone, Strawberry and Chocolate Couples, Couple’s Instructional, Mother and Daughter, Prenatal, and Sports Massage.
