Empowering

Education:

LMT - MA00018928

2003 graduate with honors Ashmead school of massage

 

I’ve been a practicing Massage Therapy Professional since 2003. I put my best foot forward in both educating and 'heeling' my clients, empowering them with their training, recovery and range of motion.

I use Barefoot massage techniques, to provide injury prevention, performance continuity, recovery expertise and body longevity.

​

Utilizing my feet provides you with broad, compressive strokes that allows for sustained pressure for the length of the massage. It is highly therapeutic (with the use of sustained compression, fascial release techniques and active or passive Range of Motion) for athletes, those in strenuous or repetitive jobs, people with dense tissue and those of you who feel like they just can't get a deep enough massage.​

​

Barefoot deep tissue massage is direct application of pressure through a muscle into the underlying bone. This deep, broad based form of bodywork assists with rest, recovery & repair of muscle tissue and creates a positive structural change in chronic soft tissue damage.

I'm not "fixing muscles" - I am helping people: 

  • Keep Training

  • Prevent Setbacks

  • Extend Athletic Longevity​​

  • ​

Are you an athlete? Do you have sports or repetitive strain injuries? Do you feel like your massage is never to the level of "just quite deep enough".​

​

What are you waiting for? Check out Barefoot Massage!​

Thanks for giving me the opportunity,

I look forward to getting to know you!

Meet the feet

Hi there, I'm Janel, a mom of 2 sweet kiddos, wife to a salsa artist, we have 2 feline friends and 1 four legged, lunatic puppy that keep our hands and hearts full.

I’ve been a massage therapist for over 2 decades now and have helped, people coming to see me with a number of different ailments from all walks of life, but it hasn’t always been this way.

I started out a confused teenager, unsure of what I was supposed to do with my life or what my gifts even were. I was lucky to have by God’s grace, gone through many of the wrong jobs which led up to the foundation of the skills that I would need to eventually run my own business as an entrepreneur.

As a child I was a competitive swimmer who gave it up in middle school and then went back in high school with the experience of being out of the water for way too long.  It was a hard road back and unfortunately didn't last long competitively.  As a young adult I stayed active with an opportunity to occasionally join an indoor soccer league, and I began recreational running around that time, but it didn't really stick until I met my friend T who supported my health journey like no one else in my life, then inspired and cheered on many incredible running goals from 5 & 10k's to 1/2 an full marathons to a half iron man.  Which ended up being my last IM as I got pregnant with my son.  So now, I've been finding spare time for my own health and fitness, and wouldn't you know, kids get more priority.  But the pendulum is slowly swinging in my favor, and I see myself with more hours on the road again in the near future.  All of that to say, I know your journey. I've been on your journey.  It's not easy.  No one sees the early mornings or late nights or time we squeeze in the in-between but getting it done is so important, not only for us but to show our family that it should be important to them too and to show them that we want to be around as long as possible for them and we're taking the appropriate steps to get there.

My job isn’t just about relieving tight muscles—it’s about helping people feel better in their bodies and achieve their competitive goals, sometimes their life goals. Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, busy professional, or someone living with chronic pain, I create each session to support recovery, mobility, and long-term wellness for you.

This work is about connection, precision, and care. I use my training, intuition, and the powerful tool of barefoot pressure to create meaningful change in your tissue—helping you move with more ease and live your life with less pain.  There are thousands of athletes and athletic minded adults I've worked with to reach their goals and remain injury free - See the "what you're saying tab for testimonial information".

I really hope that you'll be one of them.
