Our Founder: Daphne Bockenstedt, a Passionate Advocate for Health and Wellness

Daphne Bockenstedt, a native of Charleston, SC, earned her degree from the Edmund Morgan School of Neuromuscular & Massage Therapy in Cornelius, NC, in 2008. With a reflective and tenacious nature, Daphne initially opened The Great Escape Spa Therapy (a wellness center) in 2010. She later recognized the importance of healthy living and the desire for the same in others, leading her to establish Massage Charleston in 2013. Focusing on deep tissue massage, neuromuscular massage, trigger point therapy, and sports rehab, Daphne's clients include athletes, business professionals, moms-to-be, and seniors - all working towards a vibrant, healthy balance between the body and mind.

Daphne's experience encompasses practicing for the Edmund Morgan School, working for two 5-Star Resorts (The Spa at The Sanctuary and The Spa at Pebble Beach), and partnering with chiropractors and various holistic health care providers. She has been a sponsor and massage therapist for the South Eastern Cross-fit Competition, Integrity's Revenge, since 2011, and has sponsored the Medical University Of South Carolina's Boot Camp Program since 2009. From 2013 to 2015, Daphne was the official massage therapist for Charleston's professional minor league hockey team, the Stingrays.
