Many of the reviews below appear on my Google Places listing.

“Thanks again for the amazing work you did on me. I am still moving much more freely in the shoulders and hey – I have no pain in the butt anymore – hurray!”
- Gillian G., Verdun – avril 2011
“Je viens de recevoir un excellent massage thérapeutique de Stéphanie du Massage Thia & Yoga à Montréal. Je conseille Steph, à tous ceux et celles qui ont tout essayé et n’ont jamais eu un bon résultat.”

“My massage with Stephanie was definitely something to write home about! She’s wonderful at what she does… Im a massage addict, so I have had my fair share of thai massages internationally and I’d put Stephanie within the top three of all my experiences… her athletic background really complements her technique as she has a clear understanding of both anatomy and physiology and uses that in combination with her expertisse in this form of healing. That was as close to heaven as Ive been. ”

Amazing!
“Stephanie is amazing. I was nervous about attending Thai Yoga Massage because I am very inflexible and was a bit worried about back issues (being overstretched or injured) but my worries were completely unfounded. Stephanie really knows the body, the limitations and what will help. I am a runner and she helped a lot with a shin split injury I had. I usually don’t like any kind of massage even though I have tried many different types in the past and either left me with no benefit or actually in pain afterwards, but Thai Yoga Massage with Stephanie left me feeling more relaxed, more flexible and with less pain. I have no hesitation to recommend Stephanie, I can’t wait to have the time to get back for another appointment! ”

Excellent Massage Therapist
Yes, I can tell you Stephanie is an excellent Massage Therapist, for being involved in the field myself as a stone and Thai-Yoga Therapist. I had the chance to receive different massage styles from different professionals. But Stephanie is the best. Before that day, I had always loved watching her giving a massage to others. Her posthures, the compassion and the energy moving along with any of her gestures. So, when I had the privilege to be treated by her, It was like WWWWWOOOOWWWWW!!!! Strong and energetic massage: my bones cracked, my muscles detensed, and against my will, it came out of me a lot of MMMMMMMMMM!!! Believe me: I am not noisy in general, but that day…………………….. And any time I think about it, I still feel like MMMMMMMMMMM!!! And curiously, at the end of the session I felt asleep, deep sleep.”

Thai Yoga Massage that Inspires
“Stephanie is very gifted at what she does. Her work has inspired me to study Thai massage, and I now offer it to my clients, wondering all the while, ‘Would Steph approve of the way I’m doing this?’ I look to Stephanie as the source for graceful, effective Thai massage, but beyond her capable skills lies a truly, madly, deeply passionate healer. Steph has the strongest ‘Shen’, as Shiatsu people would call it, that I have ever experienced. Her strength of character strengthens those around her, and any time spent with her is time well spent. Additionally, Stephanie is, I believe, the first teacher of Yogic Arts in Montreal. Let her teach you to take care of yourself through her dynamic, flowing form of yoga. Watch her videos and you will get the idea. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Run don’t walk. ”

Passionate and Inspirational Healer
“I have had the opportunity to work with Stephanie, giving and receiving massages as well as assist her during her courses in Thai Yoga Massage. She is absolutely brilliant in the way she moves, explains, communicates and inspires others through her compassionate touch. She has helped me countless times in realigning my body, and every experience with her has helped me to deepen my own knowledge about Thai Yoga Massage, about the anatomy and physiology of the body in relation to massage as well as practicing giving massage in a healthy way. Stephanie is an excellent resource concerning Thai Yoga Massage and it shows very much in her practice. ”

About Yogic Arts with Stephanie
“Yoga. I never thought it was for me… Reluctantly, I attended my first yoga session with Stephanie about 8 months ago and Holy Cow !! – attended several classes since and always felt re-energised and refreshed. I recall such good feelings from my days practicing martial arts. The subtlety and intensity of this sport result in an evident impact from the first time you try it and I recommend it. As for your instructor, Stephanie; graceful – poetic – attentive and serious about how you experience and appreciate this art. You will have the best 90 minutes of your week in this class and it is going to be a real treat.”
- Rocky Z. 39 years old, Montreal
“It was really nice to get together with other like-minded individuals for this Yogic Arts introductory class. I think Stephanie Golden is such a terrific teacher. She is always so creative at breaking down the postures and movements so that virtually anyone, no matter their fitness level can grasp the motion and understand their own bodies better. What truly sets Yogic Arts apart from other forms of yoga is the Thai yoga massage aspect of it. You always feel so-ooo good after this practice. It will do wonders for shoulder, wrist and back pains. I think we are all very lucky to have such a wonderful caring and generous teacher that is willing to share so much of her own body-mind knowledge & wisdom with her students… that is truly priceless.”
- Jade D., Montreal
“…very different from other forms of yoga that I’ve tried. I thought it was a bit too advanced for me at first, but after I felt great. There were a lot of squats, which I hate because I have bad knees, but surprisingly I felt no discomfort whatsoever. Lots of warrior poses, cobra, plank and downward dog. You will sweat! Even the teacher does

- Tara S., Montreal
“Great class! I love the combination of martial arts and yoga – its a great work out! Stephanie is awesome!”
- Meredith E., Montreal
“Tous les exercices etaient stimulant physiquement. Se concentrer pour les realiser, le rythme demande vous assure de garder votre pensee sur votre corps et les positions. Impossible de penser a autre chose que l’ici et maintenant. Belle experience. Merci a Stéphanie pour cette experience et surtout a Marc-Joseph qui ouvre ses portes a de nouvelles approches.”
- Sophia, Montréal
“Wow what a “positive” energy around this wonderful woman. She was so energetic, helpful, great voice, moves easy to follow as she showed us in several ways up at the front so we could all understand. She would show us from the back, from the side from the front. She also walked around the room correcting us gently. Fantastic teacher, fantastic role model, fantastic person. High confidence level, which gave me the confidence to trust her. She gets a 10/10 in my rating.”
- Paige, Montreal
