The deepest and most luxurious massage on Earth!

Ashiatsu is a barefoot modality in which the practitioner uses their feet and body weight to deliver a therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue massage. The force of gravity, combined with the broad gliding contact of the foot, generates a slow, consistent massage that stimulates stretching, and increases hydration and relaxation in the recipient’s body. These sessions are unique in their potential to create structural change and healing in the body while deeply soothing the nervous system at the same time.​ 
Parallel bars above the table and attached straps are used for the therapist’s balance and client safety. Pressure & intensity can be adjusted per client request.

This treatment is not recommended for those who are pregnant or trying to conceive.

Firmer pressure may be incorporated in the routine in order to reach key areas. Deep Tissue Massage is highly recommended for individuals who are comfortable with a slightly more intense pressure. However, Deep Tissue Massage can also refer to gentle yet sustained pressure targeting the myofascial layer.​

Deep Tissue can help ease stress in a healthy manner, lessen pain, improve mobility and promote greater range of motion.​

Deep Tissue is ideal for everyone particularly athletes and those experiencing chronic pain.

Deep Tissue Massage

Manual cupping therapy is an ancient healing method that may ease back pain, neck pain, headaches and other issues. It uses suction to pull on your skin and increase blood flow to the affected area. 

Cupping benefits are the following:
Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions.
Reduce painful trigger points.
Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation.
Relieve pain.
Promote mobility and range of motion.
Improves mature scars.
Decrease toxins.

While there are not any dangerous side effects of cupping therapy in general, some patients may experience nausea, sweating or dizziness, mild soreness in the areas where cupping is used and minimal pain.

What to avoid after cupping or a cupping massage:
Caffeine, alcohol, sugary foods and drinks, dairy, and processed meats. These foods may slow down your body's ability to process the treatment. Hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, strong air conditioning, intense exercise, and cold and windy conditions.

FIRE CUPPING IS NOT AVAILABLE

Manual Cupping

Often called lazy yoga, Ashi-Thai is a modern take on traditional Thai massage techniques. The whole routine is performed on the massage table with the client fully clothed, without any oils or creams. The therapist maneuvers their client's body into deep relaxing stretches while applying therapeutic compression to the muscles, helping to release tension and increase flexibility.
