Stephen F Pullis, LMT

Massage Therapist

Initially certified by the McKinnon School of Professional Massage and Bodywork in 1984, and subsequently licensed by the State of Oregon in 1989 – I have continually devoted myself to massage therapy and continued my education in whole-person wellness.

Born in Kansas and raised in the Midwest and Eastern Cities, I moved to California in 1976 and graduated with a BA in Liberal Studies (magna cum laude) in 1983. I began my massage practice in 1984 in San Francisco.

Throughout my life, I have had a deep interest in humanity, and in how various cultures live and view the world. I have experienced life in Central Mexico, Bali Indonesia, Thailand, Europe, Australia, Russia — and even among the Lakota-Sioux people of this land. Currently, I am interested in Tibetan Buddhism.

    ... Professional and welcoming. Knowledgeable and responsive. Attuned and aware. I've seen Stephen for about 6 mos, and I am more impressed (and more relaxed) after each visit. Stephen is the most skilled, most responsive, and most professional massage therapist I've seen. He greets me with a welcoming smile, patiently sits with me at the start to hear of any concerns, and always leaves me in a dizzying, zen bliss. My workouts have improved, my body feels strong and healthy, and I'm ready to tackle the next year with my kid!

    I concur with other reviews that I've read pertaining to Stephen and his work. I would also rate him higher than five stars if it were possible. Combined with a down-to-earth demeanor, attentiveness to details, and a commitment to improved health and reduction in stress, Stephen is a top-notch practitioner of his craft. I've benefitted from his work in a relatively short length of time. Without hesitation, I highly recommend him to anyone.

    Five trillion stars for Stephen and his amazing ceiling filled with infinite stars! ... After a massage from Stephen, I am so relaxed, that I could look at a concept like Dick Cheney or people who deny climate change without losing my composure. I'm totally serious. How could a mere mortal as I am be so fortunate to have met Stephen and still know him and be able to call him and arrange for this world-class, beyond-anything-describable massage with a very short notice? I must be dreaming. :)
