About

Experience DeepFeet Ashiatsu If you've ever wished for a massage that was both deeply therapeutic and deeply relaxing, DeepFeet Ashiatsu may be exactly what you've been looking for. Unlike traditional massage, I use my feet instead of my hands as my massage tools while supported by overhead bars for balance and precision. This allows me to work slowly, intentionally, and with exceptional control. The broad surface of the foot creates smooth, evenly distributed pressure that reaches deeper muscles without the sharpness that can sometimes come from thumbs, knuckles, or elbows. Rather than forcing your body to tolerate deep pressure, the work invites your muscles to gradually soften and release. The pace is slow and unhurried. Every movement is deliberate, giving your nervous system time to settle while your body responds naturally to the pressure. The experience is less about intensity and more about allowing your body the time and space to soften, restore, and let go of long-held tension. Many people are surprised by how deeply relaxing Ashiatsu feels. While it's known for providing exceptional deep tissue work, clients often describe it as grounding, nurturing, and remarkably calming. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic tension, recovering from the demands of an active lifestyle, or simply longing to slow down, DeepFeet Ashiatsu offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with your body in a way that feels both powerful and restorative. Meet Your Therapist Hi, I'm Tiana. I've been a Certified Massage Therapist since 2006, and after nearly two decades of practicing massage, I found myself searching for a way to provide deep therapeutic work that was both more effective for my clients and more sustainable for me as a therapist. That search led me to DeepFeet Ashiatsu. I believe healing happens when the nervous system feels safe. That's why my sessions are never rushed. My goal is to create a peaceful space where your body can relax deeply, release tension naturally, and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected. I completed my training at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, where I studied Eastern and Western massage techniques, anatomy, kinesiology, and energy awareness. Those years of experience continue to guide every session I provide, and DeepFeet Ashiatsu has become my favorite way to help people experience lasting relief. I'm honored to share this work with you and look forward to welcoming you to Wildflower. Frequently Asked Questions Are you walking on me? No. This is the question I hear most often, and it's completely understandable. Although I massage with my feet instead of my hands, I am not walking on your body. Throughout the session, I remain supported by overhead bars that allow me to control my balance, movement, and pressure with great precision. Every movement is slow, connected, and intentional. Think of my feet as my massage tools—not feet that are walking on you. Are your feet clean? Absolutely. Foot hygiene is an essential part of practicing Ashiatsu. My feet are thoroughly washed before every session and are kept exceptionally clean, smooth, and well cared for. In fact, the broad surface of the foot is one of the reasons this technique feels so comfortable. Without the small joints of fingers, thumbs, or elbows creating concentrated pressure, the contact feels broad, even, and surprisingly soothing. Most clients stop thinking about the fact that I'm using my feet within the first few minutes because they're simply enjoying how good the massage feels. Will it be too deep? Not at all. Although DeepFeet Ashiatsu is known for deep pressure, every session is tailored to your comfort level. Pressure can always be adjusted, and because it is delivered slowly and evenly, many people find it more comfortable than traditional deep tissue massage. My goal isn't to give the deepest massage possible—it's to provide the most effective massage for your body. Why do you only offer 90-minute sessions? I've intentionally designed my practice around a single 90-minute session because I believe it's the ideal length for the way I practice DeepFeet Ashiatsu. This isn't a condensed version of a longer massage. It's a thoughtfully designed full-body routine that allows me to address the entire body at a slow, unhurried pace while still accomplishing an incredible amount of therapeutic work. Because Ashiatsu uses gravity-assisted pressure and the broad surface of the foot, I can work more efficiently than I could with traditional hands-on massage. In many cases, a 90-minute Ashiatsu session accomplishes more than a typical 90-minute massage while still leaving plenty of time for your body to soften, release, and fully relax. For me, 90 minutes is the sweet spot—long enough to provide a complete, deeply restorative experience without feeling rushed or excessive. Why don't you offer traditional hands-on massage anymore? After nearly 20 years of practicing massage, I wanted a way to continue doing the work I love while also caring for my own body. DeepFeet Ashiatsu allows me to deliver slow, deeply therapeutic bodywork in a way that's more sustainable for me as a therapist and incredibly effective for my clients. Rather than relying on the small muscles and joints of my hands, I can use my body weight and gravity to create broad, consistent pressure with less strain. The result is a massage that often reaches deeper layers of tension more comfortably and efficiently than I could achieve with my hands alone. Choosing to specialize in Ashiatsu allows me to provide my very best work while preserving my ability to care for clients for many years to come. # Is DeepFeet Ashiatsu Right for You?
