Stephanie Thaler, LMT

Certified Deepfeet Instructor

Lakeville, Minnesota

  • Hello! I’m Stephanie, and I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey with you. Over the last 25 years, I’ve built a rewarding massage and bodywork practice by constantly learning about the latest and greatest techniques out there. I’ve had the pleasure of working in various environments, from plastic surgery and chiropractic offices to orthopedic clinics. I’ve also been lucky enough to support professional sports teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and the 2021 Women’s Olympic hockey team!

    In my private practice, I work with amazing athletes, including some players from the Minnesota Wild. My passion lies in helping these athletes recover quickly and effectively, and I’ve developed a unique approach to muscle work that really gets results. I combine traction, stretching, scar tissue release, and compression to provide the lasting relief my clients come to count on.

    In 2022, I completed the Master’s program through DeepFeet, and it was a game-changer for me! Switching to using my feet instead of my hands and elbows opened up a whole new world of possibilities. I realized I had been missing out for years!

    My love for Ashiatsu has inspired me to start teaching in Minnesota. I can’t wait to share my experiences and knowledge in the classroom and introduce you to this fantastic technique that can truly extend your career in bodywork!

  • I am so honored to have taken this class with Stephanie. Stephanie is a phenomenal woman and teacher inside and out! Her vulnerability and selfless spirit is MAGIC.! Literally the best workshop I’ve ever taken! Thank you so much for this amazing experience.

  • I had SO MUCH anxiety about not being small enough or young enough to invest in this class, and I'm just so happy that I did it anyway. I can not wait to reinvigorate my practice completely. THANK YOU for opening up in Minnesota and being a model of excellence with such kindness

  • Stephanie is the Best. Teacher. Ever. Thank you again so much, Stephanie. I'm so grateful that you took the time to reach out and offer this class to me! It had been on the top of my wishlist for two and a half years, and the timing was so incredibly fortunate! The entire experience was a 10/10!
