150% PWYC

A gentler, hands-on session — a change of pace from the deep barefoot work. Light to firm pressure, no deeper. This isn't the place for deep tissue or trigger point work, and that's on purpose. The goal is to lower the volume on your nervous system rather than challenge it: noninvasive, caring, soothing work that pulls you out of your head and fills the need for a little nurturing. Come in wound up, leave refreshed.

Swedish Massage

Very light, very slow, and unlike anything else I offer. In John Barnes-style MFR, I make careful, mindful contact with the layers of fascia and encourage movement at the pace the tissue dictates — following rather than forcing. Gentle as it is, connecting with the fascia this way can have surprisingly far-reaching effects through the body. Most people describe sensations they've never felt before: your inner felt sense of your own body can shift, and your nervous system can drop into a calm, creative, floaty state near Dreamland — though you'll often stay quite alert through it. A genuinely cool, slightly strange experience. Come curious.

Myofascial Release - John Barnes Method

Hone your technical and professional skills with an in-person, 1-on-1 session designed specifically around your areas of interest.

Professional Development for massage therapists

A hands-on introduction to barefoot massage for LMTs who want to check it out before committing to a class. In half an hour, you'll get:

∙ A quick demo of barefoot work in action
∙Time on the table to feel the bars yourself and get a sense of the pressure and mechanics
∙ Q&A — ask me anything about the work, the training, or the equipment

This isn't a massage session, it's a chance to get your hands (or feet, more accurately) on the equipment and get your questions answered before you decide if FUNdamentals is right for you.
