Monarch Massage Therapy
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. Enjoy a prenatal, postnatal, deep tissue, or swedish massage in the comfort of your own home or office. Pregnancy massage is a gentle and nurturing massage that focuses on the needs of the mother. Massage can help relieve the discomforts associated with pregnancy, and help offer much needed rest and relaxation.

Monarch Massage Therapy is a practice created by Stephen Abate, LMT that specializes in prenatal, deep tissue, therapeutic, and swedish massage. It is an out-call based practice serving the communities in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson Arizona.

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.
Pregnancy, Labor and Postpartum are very powerful and transformative times in a woman's life and massage therapy is a wonderful way to help assimilate all the exciting changes.
I have trained with and am certified by Claire Marie Miller, one of the nation's leaders in massage therapy and creator of Nurturing the Mother.
I am able to offer safe and therapeutic pregnancy massage, labor support massage, and postpartum massage.
Research has shown that pregnancy massage strengthens the immune system, decreases blood pressure, decreases stress hormone, shortens labor time, and helps restore the body in the postpartum phase.
Deep tissue and therapeutic massage is a technique that relies on specific knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
This type of massage doesn't always mean firmer pressure, rather it is meant to be focused work on a specific area or structure of the body to help relieve a particular dysfunction.
The dysfunction can vary from client to client but some examples are pain, limited mobility, stiffness/tightness, or a number of other chronic issues.
In a deep tissue massage both the target area, as well as, peripheral areas are address to help relieve the primary issue and help reintegrate the area.
I have been practice yoga since high school, when I was first introduced to the practice by my pole-vaulting coach.
Over the course of my practice I have studied in India for extended periods of time and trained/studied with a number of wonderful teachers of both the classics and modern adaptations of the practice.
I have been a full time yoga instructor for over 10 years and have over 3,000 teaching hours from regularly teaching in corporate offices, museums, gyms, studios, zoos, and public spaces.
On occasion same day appointments are available.
If you would like to book a same day appointment or you don't see the day/time you are looking for please contact me here.
Due to certain medical contraindications to receiving a massage, such as fever, I reserve the right to cancel the appointment at anytime.
