Barefoot Bar Therapy
This form of therapeutic massage accesses deeper layers of muscle without feeling invasive or painful. Because of this, the release of muscle dysfunction and pain is greater while at the same time feeling luxurious and smooth. It is incredibly relaxing and healing for the body, mind, and spirit.
This therapy is performed on the massage table while the therapist utilizes parallel bars overhead for balance and leverage to apply pressure through bare feet. The client receives anything from moderate to very deep pressure without the pain and discomfort that often comes with the use of a therapist’s thumbs or elbows.

Ionic Foot Detox Bath
Foot detox baths are a natural way for the body to release toxins. The feet are placed in a warm foot bath with the detox element in the water. Ions are released into the water where they then enter the body through the feet. The ions help to open the cell membranes so that toxins may move out of the cells and water may move in more readily. The treatments not only detox the body, they also help to hydrate and alkalize the system. Detoxing will occur throughout the day following the session. It is recommend to receive massage therapy following the treatment.
