I received a gift card to Relax! back in 2019 and just randomly booked with Stephanie Arnold. As I am sure all of her clients can vouch for, she was amazing and I’ve been seeing her at least once a month for the last 3 years, sometimes more. That same year, I started to develop chronic tension headaches and nothing I tried brought relief. So, I talked to Stephanie about the issues I was having and she suggested I start seeing her every 2-3 weeks for routine deep tissue work from my lower back up to my neck. We also added in cupping for every session and that was a total game changer. After about a year of going at least twice a month things were finally to a point where I could drop down to once a month for routine maintenance. My tension headaches were finally at bay with Stephanie’s help and this is the only thing I have found that truly helps me to this day. Life happens and there have been a few times where our schedules just didn’t match up, but she personally worked with me to fit me in as soon as she could or had any cancellations. On the off occasion that I couldn’t get in with Stephanie she has always been helpful in pointing me in the right direction of someone who can accommodate me until her next appointment and she’s never steered me wrong. Stephanie is one of the most genuine people you could meet, and she understands the importance of the work she does and how it can change people’s lives.

I follow her skincare Facebook page and she is always finding ways to improve and offer more to her clients. She just recently started her journey into esthetics doing facials of all kinds and those are just as great as her massages. She keeps a BUSY schedule, but if you ever have the opportunity to have her for a service you won’t be disappointed. 

When it comes to Relax! Massage Therapy and Skin Care as a business, I can say that I hadn’t found a place that offers quality work from quality people for a reasonable price since moving to Wilmington until Relax! I’ve never felt like I’ve overpaid for any service and add-ons are reasonably priced as well. As I mentioned above, I receive cupping with each massage and it’s only a $15 addition! The rewards program offered by Relax! is incredible too. I believe you receive 1 pt per $10 that you spend and each time you go you accrue those points and can use them towards massages, add-ons, or products offered for skin care. They are great with keeping each client updated on confirmations, bookings, business updates, etc. and every single person I’ve come in contact with has been super nice and helpful.  

I do this as a form of self care, but most importantly for health. I can definitely notice when I am overdue for a service but it is always easy to jump back in and get things back on track. I am so happy that I found Relax! Massage Therapy and Skin Care, and I plan to continue offering my support to them just as they have been supporting me these last few years.
