Ashiatsu

Literally translated, Ashiatsu means "foot pressure". Using sanitized, bare feet, Michelle will effectively provide safe, comfortable massage for every body type, age, or pressure requirement. The feet are a wonderful tool for massage application because they are larger, softer, and allow the therapist to use full body weight and gravity to adjust to the level of pressure that each client prefers.

This modality is known as the "deepest, most luxurious massage"!
