Warm oil is first applied with Swedish glides, followed by kneading to gently warm up the tissue and nervous system. Along with gentle stretches, knuckles, elbows, and forearms are used to gradually increase pressure, helping to release knots of tension and stress. Trigger point therapy is also applied to address troublesome spots and further alleviate discomfort. ​Ideal for clients wanting to fall sleep while unwinding all their tension and stress. 

Please note: Massages, especially deep tissue treatments, do not need to be painful to be effective. If you're flinching through the pain, it can lead to muscle guarding, which is counterproductive. There’s no studies showing that aggressive treatments are more effective. I prefer to work deeply yet gently. All massage styles engage the nervous system through touch, and some clients respond better to lighter pressure, while others benefit from deeper or slower work. A combination of techniques is often preferred by most.

Barefoot massage, believed to have originated in India, has evolved through Asia and beyond before being introduced to the Western world as Ashiatsu. In this unique technique, the therapist uses overhead bars for support while delivering the massage with their feet. This method provides broad, fluid contact that glides effortlessly over bony areas like the spine, while effectively targeting the surrounding tissues. The therapist also leans back on a silk strap to access different angles of the muscles with their feet. In this fusion approach, Ashiatsu is combined with Swedish and deep tissue techniques, Latin-Thai massage, hot towels, cupping, and hot stones to enhance the warm-up, full-body relaxation, and treat specific areas. Trigger point therapy, using either the therapist’s feet or hands, is also applied to address troublesome spots and alleviate discomfort. The therapist’s arms, feet, bars, massage table, and floors are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each session.

Created by one of my favorite teachers and world massage champion Luisa Vargas, this style blends deep tissue massage with Thai-inspired techniques, using the therapist’s thighs and knees to apply broad, supportive pressure and facilitate movement. It’s strong, fluid work that allows for both depth and flow. This modality is best suited for multi-dimensional sheet draping, which offers a full canvas to move across the body without interruption. Sessions are deeply connected and can involve close contact—the therapist may sit, kneel, stand over, or occasionally work beneath the client. Because of the nature of the work, clear communication is essential. Written and verbal consent are always part of the process so we can stay fully aligned with your comfort and boundaries.
