What To Expect
We are a small studio located in Toledo, Ohio. We are pretty low key here. We don't sell Gift Cards. You won't find water features or rose petals strewn about in any of our treatments rooms but you will find a welcoming space for all people, tucked away on the 2nd floor of a pretty unique building. We try to keep things pretty quiet, but you may hear an occasional exchange or a bit of laughter. This is not a new building, so it's not completely sound proof and the floors can show their age with some squeakiness.
Once you arrive, we ask that you quietly take a seat and remove your shoes in our waiting area. Please be sure your phone is silenced so that this does not disrupt your, or any, treatments. When your therapist is ready for you, you'll be greeted and taken to 1 of our 4 treatment rooms. We always try to keep very quiet in our hallway, in case someone else is in session.
Barefoot Massage uses longer strokes than traditional massage; often, the entire length of a muscle and sometimes even going from one end of your body to the other. We explain this because as we do ask you to undress to your comfort level, please know that the more you undress, the more we can address. If you wear shorts or underwear, we cannot do the strokes as intended and have to stop short. We want you to be comfortable but want you to get the best treatment possible. So what do we prefer? Unclad.
This allows us to work freely and to the best of our ability. We are licensed professionals, and each client is properly draped for the entirety of your session.
Be sure that before the start of your session, to let us know what issues you'd like addressed. Our health history intake form is pretty thorough but ailments can change, let us know! We always encourage you to engage with our therapists on the pressure. We have a pretty good gauge but we are not mind readers so if the pressure needs adjusted, by all means speak up! We truly want you to have the best experience possible.
At the end of your session, you may feel a little dizzy or lightheaded so get up slowly. No need to rush. This is a deep tissue massage like no other, so you may have a lot of movement of blood and lymph throughout your body. It's also a serious muscle tissue workout so you can get dehydrated without even knowing it.
If you have any questions about what we felt during your massage or what we recommend, check out is the best time to ask and go over it. It's also the best time to reschedule your next session, especially if you prefer and specific time and day.
