Stephen Abate, LMT, E-RYT

Steve began working with the body as a yoga instructor.  He had been teaching yoga classes and yoga teacher trainings in the DC area for over 12 years.  As an inspiring leader in the wellness arts, Steve took his training to a new level and became a licensed massage therapist in 2015.  His background in anatomy, physiology, movement and energetics has given him the ability to assist and guide clients to heal from injury, promote relaxation, and begin valuable fitness/wellness management. After 6 years of seeing clients at his home studio in Washington DC, Steve moved to the Sabino Canyon area of Tucson where he looks forward to working with his new community. Instead of being a home based practice Monarch Massage Therapy now comes to you, offering massage therapy in the comfort of your own home or office.

Along with deep tissue and swedish techniques, Steve has specialized training in prenatal, labor support, postpartum, reflexology, and sports massage.

Monarch Massage Therapy was born from the idea that massage therapy, like the word monarch, is a balance of opposites.  The word monarch brings to mind both the fluid and intuitive grace of a butterfly, and at the same time denotes power and leadership.  In the same way the word “massage” evokes the feeling of gentle relaxation and “therapy” as diligent training, seemingly contraries.  Monarch Massage Therapy is a practice that strives to bring these contrasts together so that the client may reach their fullest potential; balance.

Monarch Massage Therapy is focused on serving the Catalina Foothills communities of Tucson Arizona. All appointments are outcall massages where I come to your home or office, bringing everything needed for your massage.
