Update December 2025

I'm taking a break from massage, awaiting knee replacement surgery. My son Galen and my niece Kim are covering for me:

If you feel more comfortable meeting either of them first, you can find them at their Saturday United Farmers Market booth near the grand piano where they offer chair massage. (Chair-massage isn’t their main gig— Both do table massage here at our home office.)

Welcome! 

I am a massage therapist in private practice for over 30 years. I graduated from Downeast School of Massage in Waldoboro in 1992. I work from a home office in Belfast that I share with my son Galen Stubbert and my niece Kim Many.

Through continuing education and over 30 years of experience, my hands learned have to listen. While I massage, I am constantly gathering information through my hands, assessing muscle texture to target problem areas. Each massage is different and fascinating, and I love my work.

I have learned from so many of you. Thank you for your stories and for sharing your bodies with my hands, allowing me to grow in my profession. I am honored to work with you.

( UPDATE 12/2025. Currently referring to Kim Many

and Galen Stubbert )

338-4628 is both my business phone and my personal cell phone. You may call or text this phone at reasonable times. Sometimes I can pick up the phone, and I check my messages often. 

No solicitations.

My office is in my home at 1070 East Waldo Road, located 3 miles from downtown Belfast. My driveway is 1/2 mile up East Waldo Road, on the left. There's a white mailbox that says MASSAGE.

What is my massage like? 

My massage is firm and focused. My hands are gentle and soothing, but I also find the knots.

I believe massage should not be painful, and with your feedback. I adjust my pressure to your comfort level. Massaging problem areas can “hurt so good” and I believe that when done with care and accuracy, massage does not require crippling pressure to feel deep and effective.

I work with my hands (no elbows or knobbers) and a few hot smooth stones which impart heat directly to trouble spots. The direct heat increases circulation and soothes and relaxes your muscles, preparing them for deeper work.

I hope and believe that I am approachable, levelheaded and responsible. I want you to feel confident that you are in good hands, comfortable about speaking up, and comfortable enough to relax. Your feedback helps us both.

What can I expect when I go for my first massage?

A typical massage lasts one hour, and you get to choose how to spend that time. Let me know what you need from your massage. Choose a full-body massage, or or request an in-depth treatment of a particular area (for example, neck, back and shoulders).

While the actual hands-on part of the massage lasts an hour (or longer if you choose), you'll need to figure extra time for getting undressed and dressed, and to relax and reorient yourself after the massage.

Let me know about any trouble spots, health concerns, areas to avoid, and what you hope to gain from your massage. Then I'll leave the room while you undress in privacy and lie down under a flannel sheet on a comfortably padded massage table. For a full-body massage most people undress completely, but underwear is left on or off at your discretion. Therapeutic massage is safe and non-sexual, and you will always be professionally draped during your massage.

(Your personal modesty is respected. Know that it is possible to receive massage through light clothing, such as leggings and a t-shirt. Although clothed-massage is very different and will lack hot stones and long soothing massage strokes, it is still very beneficial. Please request what feels right to you. Clothed-massage is suitable for people who are feeble and for whom undressing and dressing are such a production as to be discouraging. I do not currently offer chair massage or house calls. In some cases you may want to find a massage therapist who offers that.)
