FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fredericksburg, VA — 7/31/2023 — Shawn Stewart, a dedicated massage therapist with a passion for healing and wellness, has recently achieved remarkable success in international and national competitions, placing him among the top massage therapists in the world. With these accolades, he proudly announces the first-ever Virginia Massage Championship, a two-day event aimed at inspiring, uniting, and growing the massage therapy community.
Earlier in June 2023, Shawn represented Team USA at the World Massage Championship hosted by the International Massage Association in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shawn competed remotely by performing his massage at the River House Day Spa and delivered an outstanding performance in the sports massage category, giving him the title of 4thbest sports massage therapist globally. Shortly after, he participated in the American Massage Championship in Cherokee, NC, where he excelled in both the wellness and sports massage categories, earning a second-place title in best sports massage globally, and first place among massage therapists in America.
Shawn’s journey into the world of massage therapy began in 2011 when he graduated from Career Training Solutions, now known as Eastern Virginia Career College. Over the years, he honed his skills and established Stone Tower Massage in Fredericksburg, VA, where he continues to make a significant impact on his clients’ lives. His focus on therapeutic, sports, and prenatal massage, coupled with his dedication to his clients’ well-being, has earned him a reputation as a trusted and skilled practitioner.
“I love doing massage because I really enjoy making people feel better and it is my passion,” says Shawn. “That’s why I value your time because I know what it’s like to take time out of your day and not feel better after a massage. So, I always give 110 percent to make sure your time spent with me was worth it.”
Shawn’s accomplishments in international and national competitions have not only set him apart in his field but have also provided him with a unique platform to share his expertise with the world. His commitment to pushing his boundaries and seeking new ways to improve his craft has made him an inspiration to fellow massage therapists and clients alike.
As a testament to his dedication to the massage therapy community, Shawn, along with his wife and best friend Jessica, will be hosting the inaugural Virginia Massage Championship on September 16-17, 2023, at the Holiday Inn Fredericksburg Conference Center. Sanctioned by USAMC for 2023 and supported by the World Massage Festival and American Massage Championship under the IMA license, this event promises to be a gathering of like-minded professionals seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge.
“My vision is to build a network of massage therapists in Virginia and provide a space where we can connect, learn, and grow together,” explains Shawn. “Our mission statement is to create a state Championship that inspires, unites, grows, and educates the massage therapy community and builds awareness among others of just how massage can affect our community as a whole in a positive way.”
