I am a licensed massage therapist with a deep passion for holistic healing through massage therapy. I graduated from the Myotherapy College of Utah in 2006 and have since gained extensive experience working in luxury spa environments, including high-end ski resorts, and on Siesta Key. Today, I proudly operate my own practice in the heart of downtown Sarasota, Florida.
Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, I relocated to Florida in 2011 and feel truly grateful to share my expertise in massage therapy with the Sarasota community. I am proficient in various modalities, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Pregnancy Massage. However, my true passion lies in Barefoot Massage., also known as Ashiatsu. As a Certified Barefoot Massage Therapist, I specialize in this unique technique, which delivers deep, therapeutic pressure ideal for athletes, individuals with dense muscle tissue, and deep tissue massage enthusiasts.
Barefoot Massage utilizes overhead parallel bars for balance and precise weight distribution, allowing me to apply controlled pressure primarily with my feet. This method provides a smooth, flowing massage that many clients describe as feeling like "ice skating on the body." While Barefoot Massage is known for its deep pressure, it can be adjusted to suit each client’s comfort level. In addition to my feet, I may also incorporate my elbows, knees, palms, and fingers when necessary to deliver a customized therapeutic experience.
As one of the few Certified Barefoot Massage Therapists in Sarasota, I take pride in offering this distinctive and highly effective massage technique. I firmly believe in the natural healing power of massage therapy, helping to relieve stress, alleviate tension, and support recovery from both new and past injuries.

BAREFOOT MASSAGE
"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 minutes $100
75 minutes $125
90 minutes $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.
