What is it, and who is it for:

You’re always on the move, and find it easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle.

trying to find 10 more minutes of productivity in the day, this retreat is for you.

Reprioritize rest. Re-establish your connection and commitment to yourself. Take tranquility into your own hands by building a self-sufficient and sustainable wellness routine in a tropical

setting that soothes the soul. Then, bring those healing habits back home with you, and wherever your travels take you next.

Stephanie’s Purpose & Perspective:

Stephanie's career mission has been to educate and inspire her clients to take control of their daily well-being with aromatherapy, self-massage, movement, and positivity.

“When we allow ourselves the experience of discovering how our body and feelings change daily - especially as we age and in times of hardship - we can then embrace the practices of self-love and soulful contentment as we continue on this glorious journey called life!”

Erwin Benedict Valencia, Director of Traning and Conditioning

New York Knicks

T Spheres has managed to combine the appropriate mechanical effects of soft tissue mobilization along with the chemical and psychosocial effects of aromatherapy and color in one durable produce that's easy to travel with.

Coldplay

Thank you so much for the T Spheres - they will be great on tour!

Dave Gahan, Depecha Mode

Quite simply, I use the T Spheres whereveer and whenever possible, and that is pretty much anywhere.

Brooke Shields, Actor and Model

Thanks you for the T Spheres, they came at a perfect time - I had just done something to my neck and was in need of a massage

Jamie Goodwin, Shaping Sounds Dance Co. - So You Think You Can Dance

All-Star

T Spheres are my go-to for everything. I use them in yoga, on flights before and after during rehearsals, I even use them to help relieve pain and discomfort while recovering from my surgeries. They've helped aid my rehabilitation with their gentle ways of releasing stubborn muscles. Every athlete should have a set.

Stephanie Whittier, LMT, CST, and Developer of the

T Spheres Massage Ball & Techniques brings over 30 years of experience in massage and craniosacral therapies, pain relief innovation, multi-cultural massage practices, and extensive formal massage education for her self-care classes and wellness retreats.

She is a graduate of the Swedish Institute in New York City, with continuing studies at the Upledger Institute in Florida and a Reiki Mastership in New York.

About T Spheres

The aromatherapeutic effect of the essential oils promotes relaxation, which lessens muscle

tension, allowing the balls to access deeper into the tissue for more effective acupressure and

myofascial release. The T Spheres techniques target and reduce muscular pain, joint pain, and

backache and enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow and improving sleep.

Stephanie’s breakthrough process and product are the first and only of their kind to deliver such powerful holistic healing benefits in a user-friendly, portable package.

For our official greeting, we have taken up the custom of our ancestors: The Tainos who received their visitors saying Taino ti, which means: We Wish well Welcome home. Welcome to the family!
