Please inform Kindred Circle Massage Therapy before your session, if you develop any new health conditions or symptoms, no matter how minor. If you believe you have any questions please let us know before booking your appointment. If you are contagious, please let us know and reschedule before your appointment time!

No, appointments are required. But sometimes we have same-day/last- minute appointments, which you can be placed on a waitlist if so desired. Please call/text first, to book an appointment.

Please communicate in a text or call as soon as possible, as we ask ALL clients to always plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early. Your appointment start time is when your on the on the massage table. If you are late, your massage has started without you and will still end on time. Please help us give you the full session you are paying for by being early!

Your full name, email address, mobile number, a credit or debit card on file to guarantee your appointment.

You will need to undress completely for an Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage and you will be covered securely the whole time. We will uncover only the part of the body being worked as it is being worked. We prefer not to work around or over clothing, but leave undies on if you have a good reason to. The therapist will leave the room to give you complete privacy while you are undressing, getting on and off the table, and redressing at the end of the session.

Prior to the massage, feel free to ask us any questions about the technique that will be used in your session. Make sure you communicate any problem areas, and what you truly want to accomplish during your session. Creating a clear plan will help both of us!

During the massage, breathe and make yourself comfortable. We will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session. Many people just close their eyes and completely relax. Please communicate if/when you need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session.

If you have any questions and/or concerns regarding the session feel free to speak up right away so we can adjust and create an amazing experience for you.

After the massage, your therapist will advise a session plan and go over any concerns that they came across in the session.

Therapeutic massage therapy can help release chronic muscle tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. It is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and depression, and create an overall sense of well-being.

Yes, but we do not recommend massage if you are CURRENTLY experiencing any of the following:

Infectious or contagious disease
 Fever, Nausea, or Diarrhea
 Throbbing/Migraine headache
 Kidney and/or bladder disease or infection
 Cancer or undiagnosed lumps
 Inflammatory disease affecting blood vessels
 Contagious skin disease
 Diabetes - with active complications

Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

During your session, you’ll relax into a massage table, just as you would do during a traditional massage. Your therapist will stand on the table and hold onto overhead bars for balance. Using bare feet, bodyweight and gravity you’ll experience the dreamiest deep tissue work you have ever felt.

The main benefit is deeper pressure without the discomfort! By using body weight and gravity, we are able to produce 3x more pressure then with hands-on work. Ashiatsu also elongates muscles, decreases pain, improves posture, and helps detoxify the body!

Yes, but due to the compressive nature of Ashiatsu barefoot massage, therapists must take extra precaution with certain client conditions. This a just a hand full of conditions that would be contraindicated for receiving an ashiatsu treatment:

 Pregnancy or trying to conceive
 High blood pressure
 Recent injuries or surgeries
 Contagious skin disorders
 Compromised immune system
 Acute liver or kidney disorders
 Certain medications
 Acute auto immune disorders
 Recent surgical implants
 Advanced Diabetes

It will help you feel good, hurt less, and sleep better. It helps relieve pain in the back, neck, shoulders, hips, arms and hands, legs and feet. Overall, you'll be a happier... and who doesn't want THAT?

No. Massage during a normal pregnancy is not harmful at all. Massage supports a healthy pregnancy, and does not cause miscarriage or induce preterm labor. At Kindred Circle Massage Therapy all of our therapist are certified in prenatal.

Same as your prenatal care visits! Once every 4 weeks up to week 27; every other week up to week 36; weekly from week 36 on until you give birth. Many of our clients come every other week or every week for the whole pregnancy, and for four months postpartum.

Come back in within the first 10 days of giving birth. Bring baby with you. (Giant maxi pads and leaky boobs welcome.)  Then, every other week at least for the first 16 weeks postpartum. It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Why? Because women rarely prioritize self-care. Schedule motherhood around your massage appointments and you will be a better, happier mother.
