About the Owners of Hawaiian Experience Spa

Hawaiian Experience Spa is owned exclusively by Steve and Cathy Ibach. They have been residents of Scottsdale since 2004 after moving to the valley from Sellersville, Pennsylvania. Steve and Cathy have been married since 1984 and have two sons, Steve and Mike. They work at the spa on a day to day basis.

Steve Ibach is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and is Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage (NCTM). He writes articles about massage therapy, fitness, and related subjects for various publications including The Massage Advancer.

Steve has advanced training in Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Kinesiology, Pregnancy Massage, Health and Fitness, and Hawaiian Temple Bodywork, which he studied extensively on Maui, HI and elsewhere. Hawaiian Temple Bodywork is a form of Lomi Lomi Massage that has been performed in ancient Hawaiian temples for centuries.

Although Steve performs nearly all services offered by the spa his main specialties at the spa are Medical Massage, Lomi Lomi Massage, and all types of therapeutic massages including Honu and Waikiki Therapeutic Massages. If you would like a traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi or are visiting us for a stiff neck, back pain, or any other type of medical need, Steve would be an excellent choice of therapist.

Steve also has professional level first aid and CPR/AED training. When not working, he enjoys writing, traveling, photography, physical fitness, and flying (he is a licensed pilot).  

Cathy Ibach also studied Hawaiian Temple Bodywork with Steve in Maui and found the experience to be incredible in many ways. Lomi Lomi Bodywork is like no other massage or body treatment in the world, and she enjoys sharing the power of Aloha with the spa guests. Cathy is the spa attendant and receptionist on some days and is at the spa to ensure your every need is met. When not working at the spa, Cathy loves sewing, scrap booking, making crafts, and taking care of her family.

Steve and Cathy Ibach
