My name is Maxine Harmon, founder of Stepping Stones Massage & Wellness.

Long Island has been my full-time home for more than a decade, and long before that, it was a part of my childhood summers. Life here offers tranquility, close-knit community, and unique natural beauty. However, living on an island also demands careful planning—especially when it comes to healthcare needs.

My personal experiences have led me to a deep understanding of these realities. Due to a soft tissue-injury and vertigo, I had to regularly travel to Portland for massage therapy for over a year.

Over time, I experienced significant changes—massage therapy not only aided my physical recovery but also restored my overall quality of life. I realized that this service was greatly needed, especially for the island community.This led me to leaving my career in manufacturing and embarking on a new journey in the world of massage therapy.

I graduated from the Spa Tech’s Therapeutic Massage Therapy Program in April 2026.

My style of body work has been described as soothing, focused, and detailed.

This business was born from my personal experience as an island resident who deeply understands the importance of health and access to quality services for a small community.

My mission to is bring balance and improve wellbeing for those visiting and living on Long Island.

In addition to being a Massage Therapist I have been a dancer, both teaching and performing, for over 30 years.

Outside of work I enjoy knitting, cooking, practicing yoga, gardening, and walking with my dog.

I look forward to meeting you!
