What to expect: This modality is performed with the client disrobed, lying on the massage table beneath a sheet and a blanket. Only the area being worked is uncovered at a time.

For effectiveness, client may be asked to perform simple movements, as directed by the therapist, that will engage targeted muscles during the bodywork.
Book NowAshiatsu Massage
- Medium or Deep Pressure, depending on client’s preference
- Therapist uses parallel bars hung from the ceiling to balance and maneuver, while administering massage with the feet
- Pressure is broad, deep, consistent, and has powerful grounding and relaxing effects
- This is a full body massage. Every area that can be massaged by the hands can be massaged by the feet
- Available in 50, 80, or 110 minute sessions
What to expect: This modality is performed with the client disrobed, lying on the massage table beneath a massage towel (link). Therapist applies lotion with the hands, and then proceeds to massage with the feet. Draping is slightly different than for the other modalities: because the blanket is weighted, it can stay securely in place without being tucked tightly as a sheet would need to be. When client is face down, a vertical drape is used. This lets the therapist use connecting strokes that run clear from head to toe on one side of the body at a time. When client is face up, the limbs are modestly exposed at the same time for ease of working as the therapist massages the anterior side of the legs and arms. When face-up, the client’s eyes will be covered with a loose overlapping head wrap for comfort and to provide privacy for the therapist.
Book NowFoot Zone Therapy

- Improves communication within the body which aides healing, restoration, and proper function.
- Includes the use of essential oils, hot towels, and detox foot mud.

What to expect: This treatment is given with the client seated in a chair. Shoes and socks are removed. Areas worked include the legs just above the ankles, and the outside, inside, top, and bottom of the foot. The pressure is deeper and more specific than you may expect from a typical foot massage. Therapist will administer techniques using thumbs, fingers, palms, and knuckles as well as stones, gems, and other tools. Client may choose to converse and ask questions, or to sit back and relax.
