For Your Best Health
Great Lakes Barefoot Massage focuses on two types of bodywork: RAPID NFR – working directly with your body’s nervous system to eliminate pain and restore movement — and barefoot massage – designed to help prevent injury and induce deep relaxation.






Welcome To Great Lakes Barefoot Massage!
Hello, I’m Shelby. I have over a decade of experience in the massage therapy world. I specialize in Rapid NFR, Sarga bodywork, and barefoot massage. Sarga bodywork and BFM are massage styles where I use my feet instead of my hands to improve the way your body feels and moves, while promoting deep relaxation.
Where most massage fails to eliminate pain, Rapid NFR is here to crush it. This style of manual therapy is for anyone that has had pain affect your quality of life, and wants their freedom back. Rapid works directly with your body’s nervous system instead of your muscles to achieve fast, long lasting results.


NEW: RAPID NFR
Finally, say goodbye to just managing your pain. Rapid neurofascial reset is a neurologically based, active, therapeutic manual therapy technique that works exclusively with your central nervous system. This modality eliminates tension and restrictions within the body. RAPID is an evidence-based therapy that effectively and quickly eliminates pain.

This bodywork modality is done over clothing, combining manual therapy with specific active patient movement. Treatments are typically 30 minutes or less, focusing on the upper body at this time until I’m able to add lower body and core in the near future. Treatments can be uncomfortable to receive, but it is this short-lived uncomfortable feeling that allows for real change to take place in the body.


Sarga Bodywork
Sarga Barefoot Massage is a unique bodywork technique using the sarga silk to deliver slow, intentional strokes that engage myofascial release and promote deep relaxation and structural alignment. It’s especially effective for clients seeking deep tissue work without the discomfort sometimes caused by traditional hand techniques.
*Most people should book Sarga – Floor. The table is only used for those who cannot get off the floor unassisted. Tall or larger clients should book Sarga – Floor.*
Barefoot Massage Bodywork
Barefoot Massage is a bodywork technique using the therapist’s feet rather than their hands. This allows the massage therapist to achieve relief deep within muscles without the pain that can be caused by handwork. This technique focuses on myofascial release and utilizes Ashiatsu bars for balance and to create sustained pressure.
