Deep and Gentle Massage

Nicky LaFleur specializes in barefoot Thai massage. She combines gentle, deep compressions—using her foot as an instrument 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. The effect is both deeply relaxing and revitalizing.

In addition to barefoot Thai, Nicky offers nurturing and innovative Swedish massage and pregnancy massage.
