Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive, light-touch method that works directly with the nervous system to support and optimize the body’s innate ability to heal. This gentle approach helps release tension, restore balance, and promote deep relaxation throughout the entire body.
This service does not require undressing, simply wear comfortable clothing. Sessions are designed to help ease stress, reduce discomfort, and create space for the body to self-regulate and balance naturally.
Using body weight and gravity with my feet allows me to provide up to three times more pressure than manual massage techniques. Pressure is distributed over a broader surface, eliminating the discomfort often associated with elbows and thumbs in hyper-tense musculature.
The deep myofascial strokes I am able to achieve with Ashiatsu create more sustainable structural changes throughout the body.
Many of the Ashiatsu strokes along the paraspinals relieve muscle spasms and create space between the intervertebral foramen (where spinal nerves pass through), allowing the nervous system to function more efficiently in communication with your entire body. Clients often report feeling taller and more grounded after a session.
I incorporate stretching and mobilization during sessions where it’s needed. But even if you choose to receive a more passive session, we’ll be moving everything from stagnant energy to stuck fascia, aiding in detoxification, revitalization, and a sense of freedom in your body.
With 20+ years experience in the healing arts, I’m able to discern when it’s appropriate to modify the session to best assist you. Whether it means working around a physical limitation or switching to a manual technique, your benefit, safety, and comfort are my top priority.
Aside from giving and receiving feedback, we won’t be doing much talking during your session.
I like to hold space for my intuition to pick up on subtle cues from your body and also for your relaxation, so you can get the most benefit from treatment.
We will do the majority of conversing about your specific needs prior to the session.
I’ve learned over the years that I do my best work when I feel balanced and grounded, so I avoid loading too many sessions into a day. Your session with me will never feel rushed or scattered. I create a calm atmosphere for each and every person I treat.
Work-Life:
Sitting at a desk for long hours with poor posture can lead to discomfort in your upper and lower back, neck, shoulders, and forearms. An Ashiatsu massage can provide relief to the muscles causing this pain and improve your posture, ultimately reducing the discomfort.
Intense Workouts:
For fitness enthusiasts, Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage is a highly effective post-workout recovery treatment. It aids in reducing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), enhancing flexibility, and improving range of motion, all of which contribute to a boost in athletic performance.
Injury:
Deep tissue barefoot massage reaches deeper layers to address scar tissue and adhesions that may have developed due to injury, leading to improved flexibility and range of motion. Additionally, it enhances circulation, facilitating the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues, which supports the healing process.
