She started her own biz, Leverage, in 2018 with a focus on myofascial bodywork and "deep tissue" for strength athletes and people living with chronic pain.

SteF
(they / them)
…graduated from the Massage Therapy program at UNM Taos. Other Steph mentored them *behind the scenes* for a few months and is super impressed with their thoughtful, curious approach to this work and dedication to growing as a practitioner. Stef came to Leverage with a focus on neuromuscular therapy and muscle energy technique, and we have been working together to hone their myofascial skills.

…is a licensed massage therapist in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and has been practicing professionally since 2018. In past lives they studied Citizen Arts (writing + art & social practice) & Gender Studies at the New School and worked as a Full Spectrum Doula.
Their approach to bodywork is intuitive, patient, methodical & collaborative, utilizing a unique blend of approaches (myofascial release, deep tissue, cupping, IASTM) to promote mobility & reduce tension & pain. Additional training in somatics & trauma-informed care deeply guides their practice.
Aria loves working with fellow queer & trans people, folks on the pregnancy & postpartum journey, & anyone who wants to feel more at home in their bodies.
