We specialize in Barefoot Thai Massage. We combine gentle, deep compressions-using our feet as instruments to relieve muscle tightness-with assisted stretches and acupressure to loosen joints and relax the body holistically. Each session is uniquely adapted to the needs of the client, with the intention of restoring vitality, increasing range of motion, and relieving pain.
Barefoot compressions are ideally suited for individuals with chronic muscle pain or fatigue from injuries, overuse, and repetitive movement. Competitive athletes and people who exert their bodies on a daily basis benefit greatly from this work. Assisted stretches help the body recover its natural flexibility and relieve tightness in the joints.

A graduate of the Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute, Nicky has long been guided by an awareness of the connection between body care and quality of life. She cares holistically for her own body and brings this approach to each of her massage sessions. Her serene and open manner sets clients at ease and enables them to relax fully and get the most out of their treatments.
Whether you need simple relaxation or would like to address specific pain issues, we offer a variety of massage techniques. We bring a gentle and attentive perspective to this revolutionary approach to deep tissue massage and myofascial release. Using the foot allows the compressions to be slow, gentle, and precise.

Report
Full disclosure: I've known Nicky for years, since before she was training for her massage license.
What I've seen is a full blossoming of her career, from having friends as clients, to being such a respected person in her field that she's training others in her techniques. Even so, I didn't experience her massage until I received a certificate as a birthday gift. Boom, instant relaxation and now I understand why people like her massage so much.
She has a multitude of specialties, but the key ones are pregnancy (if you're preggers or have been, you'd know why this
