Barefoot Ashiatsu
&
Massage
by
Shaunna Cox
I graduated from Myotherapy College of Utah in 2006. Since then I have worked in high end Ski resorts, Ritz Carlton Spa, Siesta Key and now my own practice in the heart of downtown Sarasota.
​
I moved to Florida from the great Salt Lake City ,Utah in 2011 and considers myself very grateful to be able to bring my love of massage to Sarasota Florida.
As a licensed massage therapist, I am proficient in many modalities, Swedish, Deep tissue, Pregnancy and Hot stone massage. However my passion is Barefoot Ashiatsu. As a Certified Ashiatsu Therapist.
Barefoot Ashiatsu is known to be a deep massage and is ideal for athletes, large framed body types, deep tissue lovers and those with dense muscle tissue. However, the pressure can be adjusted to anybody's liking.
Overhead parallel bars are used for balance and proper weight distribution to apply therapeutic pressure by primarily using barefoot technique, but also can employ the use of elbows, knees, palms and fingers when necessary. Great for deep tissue lovers!
"I feel like I am ice skating on your body."
​
I am one of the few Ashiatsu Therapists in the beautiful city of Sarasota.
"I get paid to walk on people."
​I believe in the organic healing of massage therapy. By relieving the stress and tensions of everyday life, helping to heal new or previous injuries.
" Walking all over Sarasota, one body at a time."

BAREFOOT ASHIATSU
Over head bars are used to apply therapeutic pressure by primarily using barefoot technique, but also can employ the elbows, knees, palms and fingers when necessary. A deeper bodywork is achieved due to the passive combination of weight and gravity. Barefoot Ashiatsu bodywork leads to deeper relaxation and is famous for back and hip relief. A must for Deep Tissue lovers!
SWEDISH MASSAGE
is a system of long strokes, kneading, friction, percussion, vibration and shaking motions that apply pressure to muscles, massaging in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish Massage is a relaxing and a feel good massage.
60 minute $100
90 minute $150
120 minutes $200
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
promotes relaxation, relief of a strained back, and the soothing of nerves. The second and the third trimesters of pregnancy are when a pregnancy massage is most beneficial to a woman, those trimesters are when the additional weight in the belly puts strain and pressure on the back. Prenatal massage is different because the mother’s body has to be positioned as well as supported by utilizing pillows and pregnancy cushions. Ensuring that both the mother and baby are comfortable.
