I started my career as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2005. After doing “traditional hands on” therapeutic massage for over 10 years, I learned barefoot massage in 2016. I put my foot down 1 year later and no longer do traditional hands on massage.

Being a massage therapist, runner and weight lifter myself, puts me in a unique position not only to help you out of pain, but to help prevent you from future injuries by configuring a maintenance plan that coincides with your race, show or competition. Having done half marathons, a bajillion 5k’s, and being a gym junkie, I know what you’re experiencing. I help you reverse engineer a schedule to ensure we time your massages at just the right point. This will help you maintain fitness levels and increase range of motion helping catapult you to the next level.

I love the fact that I am part of peoples journey! I have had countless clients qualify & run the Boston Marathon, compete and place in not only bodybuilding competitions but in Powerlifting and Cross-fit competitions as well. I pride myself on the fact that if I am not the Massage Therapist for you, I will tell you and help you find someone who suits you. I want everyone to have a great massage therapy experience. That being said, Ashiatsu isn't for everyone. We serve a specific market of very active individuals who need a deeply therapeutic touch. It’s not for the faint of heart but is perfect for those who push their bodies to their limits, and need to continue moving forward.

I am continuously perfecting my craft. Continuing education is not mandatory in Ohio for LMT’s but I commit to as many relevant classes as I can every year, to keep my practice fresh and innovative.

“Learn from everyone, follow no one”.

Our studio is located in West Toledo, where it meets Ottawa Hills and Sylvania in the Ottawa Hills Shopping Center. We’re on the 2nd floor of a pretty eclectic building.
