About Us
We’ve Got Your Back
At Step Above Massage (S.A.M.), we believe a great massage experience starts with caring for both our clients and our massage therapists. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels respected, comfortable, and valued.
We understand that every client has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we focus on listening, providing personalized care, and creating a space where clients can truly relax and feel at ease.
We also believe that supporting our massage therapists is essential to delivering a thoughtful, consistent experience. By putting people first, we strive to make every visit personal, comfortable, and worth returning for.
Our Story
Step Above Massage was founded by Sam, our current CEO and a practicing massage therapist. In the early days, he worked from a rented room in a massage office that was available only on certain days of the week.
His experience working at established massage franchises helped him understand the challenges of the industry and what clients expect from a quality massage experience. He also recognized how important it is for massage therapists to feel respected and fairly compensated for their work.
These experiences inspired Sam to build a business that puts both client satisfaction and therapist well-being at the center of its approach.
