Ashiatsu

Some of the benefits you might experience include:

  • More pressure with less discomfort during and after your treatment 

  • Increase in range of motion and improved posture

  • Reduction in muscle tension and pain, along with a sense of overall wellbeing - many ashiatsu strokes help to elongate the spine. These movements dramatically stretch shortened muscles, which help in relieving pain and discomfort

  • Frees up bundled nerves - movements along the spine and lower back can relieve muscle spasms and open the intervertebral foramen (where spinal nerves pass through). It will give the nerves more space as well as increase circulation by bringing more freshly oxygenated blood to the area being treated

  • Long fluid strokes also increase circulation, which helps to  release metabolic waste

Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique that allows me to deliver deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing my bare feet and body weight. Working with gravity instead of against it, I am able to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing discomfort to myself or you. Utilizing bodyweight and my feet as massage tools provides broad, consistent pressure that creates structural change throughout the body. Parallel bars are used above my massage table for balance, support and client safety.

“I’ve been receiving biodynamic Craniosacral sessions from Nissa on a regular basis for about a year now, and I have to say that my experience working with her has been transformational.  She holds an extremely neutral and safe presence during each session – as a result, the inner healing is both deep and potent.  I feel more ease, vitality, and resource in my body now than I’ve felt in my whole life.  Nissa is an experienced, intelligent, intuitive, loving practitioner – I recommend her to everybody!!”

Amanda Leaveck

“After a typical Biodynamic Craniosacral session with Nissa, I feel like I’ve landed on Earth for the first time. Something in me has settled in a brand new way, and I’m able to delight in simply being in the moment. I’m able to approach my day-to-day experience with authenticity, vitality, and ease. Her sessions have become a resource for me as I seek relief from discomfort and seek to expand my capacity for creativity and joy.”

Oliver Adam

“In my experience, Craniosacral therapy is a modality of holding space. Space to heal. Space to be presently embodied. Space to be here, and space to arrive. Nissa’s presence within the sessions feels safe and from the heart. She creates a safe container for the body to feel held, heard, and seen. I’ve truly never experienced a more restorative healing practice in which my body is encouraged to heal itself. Thank you Nissa for the work you do – it’s been transformative and has touched every aspect of my life. I highly recommend!”

“My very first session of BCST was remarkable. I experienced an awakening of my nervous system that felt as if a cap had been removed and the energy could flow. I left that session with a beginning sense of calmness. Each session since then has continued to increase my self-healing. It is difficult to explain what I experience during each session, other than to say I am able to feel myself letting go of my struggles and gaining a better perception of self. As an example, I went to my third session with high anxiety. I left with an understanding of my strength as a woman. The anger from the past is slowly dissipating with each session. I am able to approach the stresses of my daily life with a calmness that did not exist before. Each session I am more aware of myself, the lives surrounding me, and the beauty of it all.
