A place of Serenity and Relaxation
“We love inspiring our clients to take better care of themselves, but we’re also here for them when they fall off track. We just start a new day and keep moving forward.”
– Stephanie Knight
Our Mission
We make the world a better place by providing:
For our clients, community, and coworkers.
In Pursuit of Excellence.
She was inspired by her own physical therapist, as she had to go through the process of physical therapy after her shoulder surgery when she was 15 years old.
Stephanie was a server at Applebee’s through high school and in college while working toward becoming an Occupational Therapist.
She put her degree on hold to go to Pensacola School of Massage and fell in love with massage therapy. It became her passion and she travelled all over the country to learn from masters of massage therapy in the areas of myoskeletal alignment (muscle-bone alignment), structural/postural alignment, myofacial release, and much more. She started Escape Wellness Spa and quickly built an overflowing clientele.
Stephanie’s expertise is now utilized as she “hand selects” each Massage Therapist to ensure Escape’s skillful, eclectic style of massage continues. Each Licensed Massage Therapist at Escape provides customized massage, whether their client sits too long at a computer, plays sports, or anything in between, at any age.. Each client can look forward to a treatment utilizing both therapeutic and relaxation techniques for a full-body transformative experience.
Our Philosophy
At Escape Wellness Spa, we focus on helping you improve the environment that you live in… your body, from the inside out. Founder Stephanie Knight launched Escape Wellness Spa in 2007 to deliver not only the best spa treatments in Pensacola, but to help transform lives through therapeutic skincare and massage services.
Stephanie says, “Our philosophy is that massage should be a ‘hurt good,’ helping feeling, not a painful, unpleasant experience.” Escape is focused on healthy, effective, healing, and restorative massage and beauty treatments that will leave you looking and feeling better than when you stepped through our door. We are convinced that each person who leaves Escape will feel renewed, and this feeling is transferred to their family, friends, and coworkers. We are truly here to change the world through the power of empathy and healing touch.
