Not your average massage — this is full-body alchemy.

Using the strength and sensitivity of the feet, barefoot massage delivers deep waves of pressure that reshape tension from the inside out.

Somatic Mind Body Coaching

This work isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about bringing you back to yourself.
Somatic coaching helps you understand your body’s signals, tending to the places that have been bracing for too long.
With simple practices and guided presence, you learn how to move from reaction to choice, from overwhelm to possibility.

Explore with me.

Your body is your guide. I just help you interpret it.

Widening the Window

The Window of Tolerance

This is a concept that refers to someone’s capacity to handle stress or arousal and then return to some form of calm, presence, or thinking clearly. At times, our windows are wide and sometimes they are teeny tiny.

Understanding this concept can help you understand yourself or even communicate to others as needed.

In our current times, stress is abundant and anywhere you turn atrocity and confusion are easy to access. Massage and bodywork can’t fix this completely but gaining more information will help you navigate whatever comes your way.

Once COVID happened and we had to shutter Sole Shine, I swore I’d never offer a package/membership again but this one is different. I actually have 2 and they’ll come in a different message because they are decadent and nutritious all on their own.

Introducing: Widening the Window: Winter Descent

Starting in January 2026, I will be offering seasonal 3-month packages of Barefoot Massage + Somatic Coaching + Community Classes

• (1) 90-minute therapeutic barefoot massage
• (1) 75-minute somatic coaching session
• Free Roll-Out classes
• Free Body Wisdom class
• Free herbal teas & foot soaks
• Free Patreon membership (where many of the digital seasonal products will live)

The first 5 Founding Members

Will receive all of this at $200 per month.

This is in exploration mode. I have some fun ideas to incorporate with each season to honor the cycles our bodies connect to naturally. Each season will come with seasonal teas and recipes and movement to consume and move with what’s happening in our world.

Thank you for reading. It means the world.

Remember, a one-word reply to this email does wonders for email deliverability. I also love to hear from the ones reading this. Plus, I like to know I’m not just yelling into a void when I send these. 🙂 You can also like, share, and comment on social media. It all helps us small biz folks.
