We specialize in Barefoot Thai Massage. We combine gentle, deep compressions-using our feet as instruments to relieve muscle tightness-with assisted stretches and acupressure to loosen joints and relax the body holistically. Each session is uniquely adapted to the needs of the client, with the intention of restoring vitality, increasing range of motion, and relieving pain.
Barefoot compressions are ideally suited for individuals with chronic muscle pain or fatigue from injuries, overuse, and repetitive movement. Competitive athletes and people who exert their bodies on a daily basis benefit greatly from this work. Assisted stretches help the body recover its natural flexibility and relieve tightness in the joints. The effect is both deeply relaxing and revitalizing.
In addition to Barefoot Thai, we offer nurturing and thorough Swedish massage and pregnancy massage.

What do they mean?
Do their bodies feel good, their minds clear and free of worry, or their hearts at ease?
A massage experience can certainly bring about these sensations, but what is happening inside ourselves when we lie on a table or a mat for an hour?
As you lie down for a massage, you are already signaling your body that a shift is occurring.
Receiving a massage helps activate the part of our nervous system that is responsible for: decreasing heart rate, decreasing respiratory rate, relaxing muscles, dilating blood vessels of the skin and limbs (allowing more blood to circulate to the periphery), normalizing blood sugar, aiding digestion, and repairing tissue.
