the deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet.”

A shiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy was developed by Ruthie Piper Hardee in 1995.  She combined the elements of traditional Thai massage, barefoot Shiatsu from Japan, and Keralite massage from Southern India and created a massage modality that delivers

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT) is an ancient form of barefoot massage using a deep compression effleurage.  Gravitational force is combined with centrifugal and centripetal movements to bring about structural change in chronic soft tissue damage.

AOBT is perfect for the person who may suffer from chronic back pain, scoliosis, or for those who love deep work, but just cannot seem to find a therapist that can deliver.

This work is available to people of large and small stature.  Every massage is adjusted to the wants and needs of each individual client.  You are always in total control of the amount of pressure that I use.

Ashiatsu Studio is located in the heart of downtown Covington, Louisiana.
