Please read this page carefully and make note of the contraindications listed below. If you schedule an appointment and Christine feels Ashi is not appropriate for you, she will provide a regular deep tissue session. We are taking these precautions to avoid client injury because the depth and style of pressure are different for Ashiatsu. With clear and precise communication, Christine will arrive at a compression level that is therapeutic for each client. She will confirm that you understand the nature of the technique and that you do not have preexisting conditions that should prevent you from having a session. We also ask that you give immediate feedback during the session to avoid any discomfort.

This work is known as "The Deepest, Most Luxurious Massage on the Planet" so we're sure you will enjoy it!
