What is Devotional Bodywork™?

Devotional Bodywork™ is ritualised massage and bodywork dedicated to self-care, nurturance, and pleasure.

Developed over more than a decade of hands-on practice by founder Stephanie, and informed by her background as a psychologist, tantra teacher, and beauty therapist.

Devotional Bodywork™ is worship of the body through the senses.

Devotional Bodywork™ is not about healing, fixing, or changing you. It is about returning to the innate wisdom of your body and receiving yourself through presence and devotional touch.

Reconnecting with the vitality and radiance of our sensual nature as human beings.

Rooted in nature and nervous system intelligence, this work honours the body as an intelligent, living ecosystem - responsive, interconnected, pulsing with life.

Through skilled, attentive touch, the nervous system is invited to settle.
The body softens back into its nature - relaxed and alive.

“It is an honour to lay my hands on your body.

It is a privilege to feel the beauty of your life’s stories through your flesh.

There is nothing more intimate than the giving and receiving of devotional touch.”

(Stephanie, DBW Founder).

Stephanie

Devotional Bodywork® Founder

My devotion to the body began long before it became my work.

Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by these flesh-suits we call bodies - learning, playing, observing, exploring, testing its limits, gathering information and experience. Healing. And to this day, still in awe of it’s complexity and intelligence.

I’ve spent the past two decades immersed in the therapeutic and healing worlds of psychology, bodywork, and tantra. I am endlessly learning about the body and refining my craft.

For nearly a decade, I have worked in the most intimate way with clients through Devotional Tantric Bodywork - developing this modality and training practitioners in the art of therapeutic genital massage. I’m deeply grateful for the trust my clients place in me during these sessions, and for the courage it takes to receive so fully. I love guiding couples into deeper intimacy through presence and devotional touch, creating unique ritual experiences where connection expands, pleasure awakens, and the body leads.

My hands have been shaped through thousands of hours of professional practice, ongoing training, and personal receiving - all of which continue to inform my touch.

I’m being pulled to integrate another part of myself into my work: my love of natural beauty.

At the heart of my work is creating experiences where the body can rest, receive, and remember its natural radiance.

For me, beauty is a felt state.

It reflects nervous system vitality.
Is nourished through sensuality.
And is sourced from within - the pleasure of being alive!

I’m deeply interested in the circulation of life force - chi/ Qi, lymphatic flow, breath, Eros, fluid fascial movement, nervous system communication - and the experience of wholeness - as fundamental to sustainable beauty.

Lymphatic work is both a natural evolution of my practice and a central pillar of where my work is heading. I’m currently studying and training in various forms of full-body lymphatic drainage and Brazilian body sculpting massage. I’m excited to integrate these skills into new offerings in my studio for you to receive.
