Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage (FasciAshi)

For Mental Health Support

Experience the mental and physical benefits of our FasciAshi Barefoot Massage, a unique therapy that uses broad, deep strokes from the therapist’s feet to work deeply into the muscles and fascia. This approach can reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation, improving mood, and enhancing body awareness. Trained by the Center for Barefoot Massage, we offer this service in a choice of 60 or 90 minute sessions.

Research suggests that deep tissue and myofascial release techniques help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to decreased cortisol levels and reduced psychological distress. Engaging the fascia not only alleviates muscle tension but also improves interoception—the body's ability to sense its internal state—which has been linked to better mental health and emotional regulation. This holistic approach can be especially beneficial for those managing chronic stress, anxiety, or emotional fatigue, offering a space to release stored physical and emotional tension.

Our Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage provides a deeply grounding experience that leaves you feeling more centered and relaxed, promoting both mental clarity and physical relief.

For Physical Health

Our FasciAshi Barefoot Massage is a powerful therapeutic approach that focuses on deep tissue relief and myofascial release to restore flexibility, reduce chronic muscle tightness, release fascial adhesions, and support overall mobility. Using broad, firm pressure from the therapist’s feet, this technique reaches deep into muscle layers and fascia without causing the discomfort often associated with traditional deep tissue massage.

Ideal for clients who enjoy a deep, restorative massage without the painful pressure that sometimes accompanies traditional techniques, FasciAshi is especially beneficial for those with larger, muscular body types or individuals with chronic muscle tension but is suitable for anyone seeking relief from physical tension.

In addition to relieving physical strain, FasciAshi engages the parasympathetic nervous system, creating a sense of calm and relaxation. This allows clients to experience both physical and mental release, leaving them refreshed and grounded, ready to return to daily life with enhanced resilience and clarity.
