Lolita Knight, Founder, has taken the massage of the Fijian people that has been passed down from generation to generation and modified it to being a totally hands free, barefoot sports-like massage. It was created to help prolong massage therapists careers, be effective in treating scar tissue & adhesion's in the muscles as well as be extremely relaxing.
Using gravity, body weight & leverage the broad surface of the foot can deliver the deepest of pressure. No lotion is used & the client is comfortable wearing loose gym-like clothing, but can also be done with the client unclothed and draped. This is done on a padded system on the floor, so it is versatile & easy to incorporate in any massage business.
I have always had a love and fascination with massage therapy ever since I was a little girl. Coming from a Filipino background, I would always give my mom massages; perhaps it was walking on her back, or massaging her legs and feet after a long day of gardening or watching her give massages to her friends that taught me at an early age the therapeutic and healing benefits of touch.
In 2006 I received my massage license in TX and my Medical Massage Certificate while attending Universal Body Wellness of McKinney, TX. My career includes settings in medical, wellness and spa venues and am currently working at Tranquility Spa @ Tanglewood Resort in Pottsboro, TX offering relaxation massage, deep tissue techniques, plus Ashiatsu, Ashi-Thai, Shiatsu, and Fijian Massage.
In 2010, I continued advanced studies with Jeni Spring for AOBT: Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy and she inspired me to focus my massage with barefoot methods. Therefore, in 2012 under Lolita Knight, Founder of Fijian Massage, I wanted to further my career as a barefoot massage therapist. With taking Advanced Fijian Massage and NCBTMB Instructor training, I have come to truly cherish the art of barefoot massage and love sharing this knowledge with other massage therapists.
Learning barefoot massage has opened up a new and exciting door for me in my massage career. I plan to continue Lolita's legacy by bringing unique and beneficial continuing education classes to the massage community as Lolita has retired. I feel honored as Lolita has only a limited number of Certified Instructors to carry on these amazing techniques.
