about daivim
THE BUSINESS
Pronounced DY-VIM, this is a small business, owned and operated by myself, Steven. I am also the primary staff member of Daivim, Llc. Every so often I am fortunate to have another wellness professional or two working along side me to bring more health and wellness options to the Wooster community. They are not employees. They are colleagues who are willing to offer their services at Daivim.
THE DOWNTOWN OFFICE
First, a single room Massage Therapy office in the heart of downtown Wooster, directly above the Liberty Street Commons building. This office is designed to focus on each individual client and their needs while providing a warm, calming and tranquil space to relax and breathe easy. Being licensed through the Ohio State Medical Board and trained in a variety of techniques and modalities, I will help customize the right treatment for you. Whether you are looking for a more therapeutic and medical approach or a chance to destress and unwind, we will provide a treatment session personalized to suit your needs. Assisted Stretch (on the table) also available at this location. Stretch can be incorporated into any massage session or as it's own session.
The downtown office will be closing at the end of 2026, with all of Steven's appointment times moving The Daivim Wellness Studio.
THE WELLNESS STUDIO
Second is the Wellness Studio located in Wooster's North end, inside THE WAREHOUSE 24-HOUR GYM. This space not only has the Massage Therapy Room. But it also is large enough to allow Assisted Stretch Therapy on the mat, one-on-one instruction in yoga, mindful stretch & movement, mobility training and strength train. It also allows for a few weekly group classes which currently include yoga, chair yoga and step aerobics. Keep watching for Pop-Up classes and special workshops every month.
THE WELLNESS STUDIO WILL BECOME THE ONLY LOCATION FOR ALL SERVICES BEGINNING IN 2027.

a little info
I have worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2012. I have studied soft tissue manipulation and bodywork, yoga, stretch, strength training, nutrition and all things health related with the desire to improve the quality of life for myself, my family and friends as well as my clients. I believe that Massage & Bodywork, Yoga & Exercise, Meditation and Energy Healing and CONNECTION TO SELF are essential to a happy and healthy life. Always learning and growing myself, I am dedicated to being a partner on your wellness journey. My favorite sport and healthy activities are roller figure skating, yoga/stretching and hitting the gym. I enjoy cooking delicious, hearty and healthy vegan meals and building my homestead with by life-long best friend, while spending time with my kitties, Ricky & Roue and my beagle butts, Artie & Ralph.
