A Swedish style massage that is given with a light to medium pressure. This service will include some effleurage (light gliding), kneading, tapotement (tapping), and friction, but may include some heat (such as hot stones or a hot pack). I would recommend that you start with a basic Swedish if you have never had a massage.
Ashiatsu is the Japanese word for "foot pressure." Ashiatsu is performed by the practitioner standing on a table or mat using a double bar system to help maintain balance. Ashiatsu is a fusion of traditional barefoot and Swedish massage. During an Ashiatsu session strokes such as compression, gliding, and tapotement are used to massage the body.

At Balanced Touch our goal is to help you in achieving your health goals. Whether you're looking for pain reduction, increased range of motion, or stress-relief we will do our best to help you. We have a thorough health-intake that allows us to pin-point your area(s) of concern. Together we will come up with a body treatment plan to help you with your goals.
Ashiatsu is perfect for deeper work. Ashiatsu bars (permanent or portable) hang several feet above the table. While you relax on the table, your massage therapist will sink into your muscles using different parts of their feet while using the bars for balance. For most of the massage, only one foot will be used at a time and some other techniques may be used in combination to provide the most relaxing experience we can possibly give you.
The best way is to sign up from the services page. You can also make an appointment by calling Spero Skin Spa Salon at (360) 899-5105 or by sending me an email at kerri.balancedtouch@gmail.com. Once your appointment is booked all you will need to do is show up 5-10 minutes before your first appointment for a consultation.

Kerri is wonderful! I went in for a relaxing massage, and that is exactly what I got!
She was very sweet, professional and knowledgeable.
The room smelt wonderful and the massage table and head rest were very comfortable.
The massage lotion is customizable and I was able to add orange and spearmint oil to the lotion.
She even asked if I had a preference of music.
Throughout the massage she would check in and ask how I was doing. She gave a wonderful message and I would definitely recommend her!
