Barefoot Ashiatsu Massage Services
What is a Barefoot Massage Anyway??
When someone hears "barefoot massage," they are often transported back to their childhoods, when they used to walk on Mom or Dad's back as a kid. Barefoot Ashiatsu is SO much more than back walking...in fact, there's hardly any of that happening at all! During a Barefoot Ashiatsu Massage, your therapist utilizes an overhead bar system for balance, and then uses her feet, heels, bodyweight and the magic of gravity to deliver consistent, fluid, deliciously deep pressure to chronically tight muscles and dense connective tissue (fascia.) This consistent, continuous delivery of pressure deeply relaxes the nervous system, allowing your tissue issues to unwind, unbind and move closer to a state of balance. Swapping out the sharpness of an elbow for a soft rounded heel allows trigger point work to be much more comfortable, thus more effective. Letha offers a few different types of Barefoot Ashiatsu Massage, keep reading below to see which type best suites your bodywork needs!
Barefoot Ashiatsu Massage
Are you brand new to the idea of Barefoot Ashiatsu, or is this your first massage EVER?! The classic session will be right up your alley.
A perfect introduction, this session includes all the deep tissue work your heart (and muscles!) desire, using long flowing strokes that will lull you into a deep state of relaxation. This session includes little to no stretching: giving you the time and space to truly sink into your experience and relax on a deep level. Think of it as a relaxing swedish massage, but with more depth, and performed using the feet.
I nicknamed this session the "Maitenance" session: if you aren't experiencing many specific issues and your just wanting to chill and get your self-care on, then session is for you!

Advanced Barefoot Massage
If you are mighty active, have chronic pain that is affecting your ability to flow throughout your day, or just love a thorough and in-depth massage, a Advanced Barefoot Session is exactly what the medic ordered!
More specific and targeted than the classic session, Letha combines the effective deep tissue work you know and love with a variety of therapeutic techniques and tools to promote deep relief and recovery.
Passive and Active Stretching, Myofascial Release Techniques, and Trigger Point Therapy will be interwoved into your session to help aid in the release of restrictions in the body and mobilize soft tissues that are holding tension
The advnaced session includes hot towels, aromatherapy, and your choice of targeted cupping or targeted hot stones to assist in relieveing tension and restricted tissue.
Your session also includes time to follow up after the massage to discuss what we discovered during your session, and customized self-care recommendations for you to bring home with you.
I nickname this session the "Mend" Session: If you are having specific pain in your body, or are recovering from a high impact sporting event/outing, an signature barefoot massage will be the perfect remedy to help bring you back into balance.

Soulstice Stretching Session
Like a Table Thai Massage, but with a Soulstice twist! Prepare to become a wet noodle after a Soulstice Stretching Session with Letha. During this full clothed massage we focus on increasing flexibility and range of motion by passively moving your body through a series of yoga poses, applying targeted stretches and deep, specific muscle compressions to areas that are holding excess tension and stress.
This session is amazing for re-establishing flow and deepening your awareness of your relationship with your body. You DO NOT need to be flexible to enjoy a stretching session...in fact, if you are limited in your range of motion this session can not be recommended ENOUGH! The old saying is true..."If you dont use it, you lose it!"
I nickname this massage the "Movement" session: The perfect treatment for anyone looking to increase their flexibility, range of motion, bring more fluidity and balance in their movements, or wants to intentionally reconnect with their body.
