Curious about barefoot massage?
Come experience something rare, powerful, and deeply healing.

Chavutti Thirumal (pronounced chow-tee tir-oo-mall) is a traditional South Indian barefoot massage rooted in the martial art of Kalaripayattu. Using a rope for balance, the practitioner delivers long, flowing, deep-tissue strokes with their feet while the client rests on a soft floor mat.

✨ It’s not Thai.
✨ It’s not Ashiatsu.
✨ It’s a completely unique experience — both meditative and profoundly effective.

This demo is for you if:
💆 You’re a massage therapist seeking inspiration + discover a new modality
🤸 You’re an athlete, yogi, or high performing creative or entrepreneur needing real relief of pain & exhaustion

What’s included:
✔️ A live Chavutti Thirumal demo session
✔️ A short intro to the technique, origins & benefits
✔️ Ask all your questions

📍 St. Pete, FL | June 7, 5–6pm
đź’˛ $10 | In-person or Zoom
🎟 RSVP to save your spot:

Chavutti Thirumal (pronounced chow-tee tir-oo-mall) is a rare and powerful form of barefoot massage from South India — and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before. Rooted in the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu, this flowing, full-body technique uses long, continuous strokes delivered via foot pressure while the therapist supports herself with a rope for balance and control. The client receives this work lying on a soft mat on the floor, which enables a range of stretches and positioning options that working on the massage table wouldn’t permit.

This is deep tissue work — but reimagined.
It’s both therapeutic and meditative, restoring mobility, circulation, and energy while releasing deeply held tension from the body. It’s different from Thai massage, it’s different from ashiatsu. This is a truly uniques and transformative modality that should be more well known!

Who this demo is for:
🧠 Curious bodywork lovers who want to see what this is all about
💆‍♀️ Licensed Massage Therapists interested in learning a smarter way to work that will save your hands & shoulders + inspire you!
🤸‍♂️ Athletes, yogis, creatives, and overachievers who crave deep, effective bodywork without the strain

What to expect:
✨ A live demonstration of a short Chavutti Thirumal session
✨ A brief introduction to the technique, history, and benefits
✨ Space for Q&A so you can ask anything you’d like to know
✨ A cozy, welcoming atmosphere — only 10 seats available

Whether you’re considering receiving a session, adding Chavutti to your toolkit as a therapist, or just intrigued by the idea of barefoot massage — this is your chance to experience it up close.

Attend in person (space is limited), or zoom in from wherever you are!

🗓️ June 7, 2025, 5-6pm
📍 St. Pete, FL – address sent with RSVP
đź’˛ $10 per person
🎟️ RSVP required - reserve your spot online!

You’re not “lazy.”
You’re not “too sensitive.”
You’re not broken.

If you’re constantly exhausted, unmotivated, overwhelmed, or numb… it might not be just stress.
It might be burnout or depression—and your body is sounding the alarm.

I offer a unique approach to recovery that combines:
— deeply restorative barefoot massage to reset your nervous system
— trauma-informed coaching to heal the roots of emotional and energetic depletion

Because true healing means tending to both body and mind.

If you’re ready to feel like yourself again—not just functioning, but actually alive—reach out.
You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

You already know how good it feels to walk out of a chavutti session feeling like yourself again.
Clear. Rested. In your body.
But what if that calm didn’t fade so fast?
What if you could reset the patterns that keep pulling you back into overdrive?
I am creating something powerful for my clients who live in their heads, lead with their hearts, and often push past their limits:
From Overdrive to Overflow: Healing Burnout from the Inside Out
This 3-part course is designed for high-performing creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are tired of burning out—and ready to heal the subconscious patterns that keep them stuck there.
🌀 Understand the real root of burnout (hint: it’s not just overworking)
🌀 Reprogram limiting beliefs around success, rest, and boundaries
🌀 Create new nervous system and mindset habits that actually stick
Massage can help you return to your body.
This course helps you stay there.
If you’ve been feeling depleted no matter how much you rest, this is your next step.

DM me with questions—this one’s close to my heart. 💜
