"BEST MASSAGE OF MY 63 YEARS! If deep tissue massage is your thing… you need to see her."
— Shelley Fox, Google Review
Why people drive an hour for this.
Barefoot massage.
Like two people working on you.
Ashiatsu is massage performed with the feet, supported by overhead bars, delivering sustained, consistent pressure that hands simply cannot replicate. If you've spent years asking for deeper and never finding it, this is what you've been looking for.
"The deepest most comfortable pressure ever. 1st time doing this type of massage and I can't wait for my next one." — Matt Schram
Learn About Ashiatsu
What Makes This Different
Most massage treats where it hurts.
Nikki finds out why.
She reads the body, not just the complaint
Every session is a diagnostic conversation. Nikki looks for the fascial restriction, the structural imbalance, the compensatory pattern. Not just the place that hurts.
"She worked my whole body, which most therapists don't. She was very intuitive the whole time." — Sasha King, LMT
The deepest pressure you've ever felt
Ashiatsu barefoot massage delivers sustained, consistent pressure that hands cannot replicate. If you've never been able to find "deep enough," this is what you've been looking for. Deeper, more consistent pressure, tolerated by the body in a completely different way than fingers, which can be jarring or even inflammatory to the muscles.
"If you like deep tissue massage, Nikki is your girl. I leave there feeling awesome." — Tracy Northey
Results that last
The goal is not to feel better until next week. Nikki sends every client home with customized stretches and exercises to support and extend the work done in session.
"It has made a huge difference in my every day activity when seeing her on a regular basis." — Michelle Mitchell
100% satisfaction guarantee. If you don't feel a difference after your session, you don't pay. No hassle, no questions.
