Fijian Barefoot Massage
October 19th
1pm – 5pm with Deb DeNardo
Location : Universal Spa in Downers Grove
A mobile adaptation of the barefoot deep tissue Fijian Massage technique which has been evolving for generations on the islands of Fiji.
Learn and experience a deep tissue massage technique that has been evolving for generations on the Islands of Fiji. Lolita Knight learned this barefoot technique while living in the remote villages of Kadavu and in 1997 she further developed and began teaching it in the United States. Instructor Debbie DeNardo received her Fijian Massage training directly from Lolita Knight and is continuing her teachings as Lolita prepares for retirement. Fijian To Go is a mobile adaptation of Fijian Massage requiring minimal equipment and supplies. It focuses on the back, shoulders and gluteals. Therapists use different parts of their feet to effectively massage clients who are lying on the floor. It does not include walking on the client’s back. All strokes can be performed while standing, sitting on a chair or sofa, or reclining on the floor. The weight of your leg gauges the pressure. No hands, arms or shoulders are ever used, making it truly a hands-saving technique that can add to your career longevity. In addition, most clients prefer the heel of the foot pressure over that of the elbow.
