“I love that I get to wake up each day and share massage with you. It’s such a gift to slow down and take good care of ourselves.”
In 1996, I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis – a cousin to Rheumatoid. My joints and body began to hurt most of the time, despite shots and medication. I found that if I got up and moving, I felt better. If I got a massage on a regular basis, I felt even better. I wanted to share this enthusiasm for feeling my best with others, so in 2008 I founded Carole Lilly Massage.
I started offering therapeutic massage sessions in a small treatment room all by myself. I began taking as many advanced massage courses as I could, and brought these new techniques back to my sessions where we were seeing great results. This sparked a lifelong passion for education and a “beginner’s mind” curiosity in my approach to massage. Currently, I support clients in areas of relaxation, pain relief and ongoing maintenance. Some of my favorite styles of massage include Esalen Massage, Therapeutic Massage and Myofascial Release. Today, we have grown and expanded into our larger home at the McGuire Dental Building with a diverse group of massage therapists and services. Our family of therapists share my passion and devotion to advanced massage training and practice.

“Your health and wellness is without doubt the most important investment you will ever make. Whether massage is a means of stress management or pain management, I believe massage and bodywork can make a difference.”
My life’s journey has lead me down many different roads, but my interest has always been to help others. I have served in the massage field for almost 30 years. During this time, I found that not only have my techniques grown, but I also discovered a skill for explaining what I was doing, and its implications to both clients and students.
After a college football injury, I found massage to be an integral part of my healing process. It eased tightness, helped me relax and got me back to enjoying life. I wanted to bring this work to others, so I enrolled in the Somerset School of Massage Therapy in central New Jersey. It was during this time that I gained a lifelong passion for massage.
This passion led me to teaching a variety of classes at the massage certification level and Continuing Education level. Currently, I enjoy teaching Advanced NMT to licensed massage therapists and providing sessions for my clients. Some of my favorite styles of massage include Neuromuscular Therapy and Therapeutic Massage.
Here’s to your health! Steve

“Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live in.”
I first became interested in massage therapy while working in a busy spa while going to school to become a medical assistant. I quickly realized how much massage therapy could aid an individual’s overall health. As someone who suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis, massage has helped me tremendously and allowed a holistic treatment. I’m truly honored when someone comes to me for help. This field is exceedingly rewarding. I look forward to continuing my education and love for massage therapy.
During my free time I enjoy hiking, cooking, traveling and reading.
Time to relax! Stephanie
