Want to know more? Send me a DM! I'd love to chat with you!

Learning about your pain, what your activities are, & how you use your body are a key components to helping to relieve your discomfort 💯
•
Having experienced a low back injury, I really enjoy learning your story--it helps me know which muscles to target! 🤓
•
I understand this type of pain. Let me help you get rid of it ✨

https://ashley-shears-cmt.square.site/

Our sessions are truly diverse & unique!
•
Never the same, each session allows me to pull out different techniques to address your issues more precisely.
•
Every session you gain more awareness thus allowing us to hone in & dive in more deeply, keeping you on your toes!
•
How do you keep your flexibility in check? Let me know!

As someone who's experienced not just a low back injury but also TWO shoulder injuries, I know what it's like to live in pain 😫
•
Everything you learn in your sessions comes directly from my education & my experience in recovering from these injuries.
•
What are your favorite ways to do self-care? Let me know below!

Ever feel that nagging pain in your back & upper shoulders? 😖
•
The deep, soothing, broad pressure of barefoot massage helps your body relax into the table allowing for a fluid, intentional session that helps decrease pain & you recover from life's stressors 😌
•
Bonus: you'll feel lighter & have more movement throughout your neck, spine, & shoulders ✨
•
Take that next step. Book your session today.
•
You deserve it 🫶🏼

Do you suffer from low back pain? 😖
•
The stretch shown in this post is one I've done for years to help alleviate my low back & hip pain caused from a college injury
•
It targets the muscles in our hips & thighs to relieve tension while also orienting our pelvis & strengthening our abdominals.
•
Together this not only decreases pain, but also increases mobility & body awareness! 🤓
•
What is one way you alleviate your back pain? Let me know in the comments!

The biggest difference at SoleCal is the tool used: my feet 👣
•
The broad surface of the foot diffuses pressure over your muscles, allowing a much more comfortable, yet deeper than "regular" deep tissue experience. 😌
•
Don't be fooled--I can still target, pinpoint, & stretch your muscles like traditional therapists!
•
But you won't be sore afterwards & you'll most likely feel better for longer 🙌🏽
•
Our sessions focus on you as a whole in regards to over/underused muscles & postural alignment.
•
The work is intentional, detailed, & effective 🏆
•
In fact, most clients feel much lighter than when they first arrive. 🙌🏽
•
Feel the difference. Book your session today!

After experiencing panic attacks & debilitating anxiety a few years ago, I knew something had to change 😩
•
By targeting my breath & fascia, this ball has not only helped ease my anxiety, it has also helped rehab my shoulder injuries & manage my chronic low back pain! 🙌🏽
•
I'm not exaggerating when I say this ball changed my life!
•
My range of motion, mobility, & mood have all improved & I'm constantly amazed at how easy it is to use 🤩
•
That's why I now incorporate this work into my SoleCare sessions
•
Think about how your life could be when you're living pain-free 😌
•
It doesn't have to be a dream; it can be your reality ✨
•
Let's talk about it. Comment below with any questions! 👇🏽

One thing that makes SoleCal sessions so great is the tool I use: the foot! 🦶🏼
•
Because the foot has a broad surface, your body doesn't fight the pressure & allows you to fully relax
•
This allows me to target your issue & reach the deeper layers of tissue WITHOUT causing you pain or soreness 🙌🏽
•
What's your favorite part about receiving massage?
•
Let me know in the comments below!

This client came to me with pain in their shoulders due to overuse from work-related tasks 😖

Does this sound like you?

New Opportunities

Hello Beautiful Soles!

April is all about new beginnings & stepping into the opportunity to be the healthiest version of yourself that you've always imagined being!

You've heard the saying, "Everything you desire is just outside of your comfort zone," right? Taking that step isn't always easy, but that's where the magic truly happens ✨

At SoleCal, I'm here to teach you how to reduce physical pain, minimize stress, & calm anxiety so you can be your healthiest self.

Together we'll assess your movement patterns, identify body blind spots, & target the culprits to help you feel great in your body & move pain-free!

In line with the energy for this month, I've recently stepped outside of my comfort zone & moved my office to a new location.

The opportunity presented a new venture to be surrounded by like-minded professionals in the healing industry & chance to serve more of our community--so exciting!

We're now located downstairs from our old office, inside of Elevate Wellness: 202 Fashion Ln, Ste 110, Tustin, CA.

Book your session today & come see the new space!

Special Offer

Our sessions are the perfect anecdote to help you stay loose, limber, & ready for the warmer seasons to come!

Not only will your muscles melt & tension fade away underfoot, you'll learn how to maintain that feeling with our self-care protocols between sessions.

All new clients will receive an additional 15 minutes on their first Essential SoleCare session when they type "upgrade" in the appointment notes when booking their appointment!

Already a Client? Great News!

When three (3) of your friends put your name has their referral, you'll receive a COMPLIMENTARY 75 minute session!

Don't Forget!

We've got TWO donation-based Sound Bath Mediations this month!

This weekend, Saturday April 6th at 3:30pm we're tapping into the energy of the Aries new moon & on Wednesday April 24th at 6pm we'll be harnessing the energy of the Scorpio full moon!

Whether you're looking to treat your mind, body, or soul, I'm here to help. Experience the life you know you're destined to have! Take that next step.

With gratitude,

Ashley Shears, LMT, CMT, BCTMB

This

Just because you use your feet/foot to massage, & just because the word may literally translate to foot pressure, doesn't mean that it's "Ashiatsu."⁣
⁣
The Center for Barefoot Massage has been working for years to not only normalize the phrase "Barefoot Massage", but also help to define it. There are a few massage FB groups discussing the definition of things like "Medical Massage", "Sports Massage" etc... well we'd like to discuss the definition of Barefoot Massage!⁣
⁣
𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯:⁣
⁣
𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀.⁣
⁣
We actually want to step away from just using the solo word Ashiatsu - if it HAS to be used, then we'll use it with a qualifier such as "𝘔𝘺𝘰𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘶 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦". ⁣
⁣
It has been frustrating to see NCBTMB host an "𝘈𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘶" category but not a Barefoot Massage category. It's hard to see hashtags on massage posts where a foot is in action, but definitely not doing the traditional TCM Ashiatsu or westernized ashiatsu. It's also really gut wrenching to see so many styles of Barefoot Massage get called the 𝘈 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 when they have their own history, lineage & legacy that is separate, unique + amazing in it's own way.⁣
⁣
When hashtagging your posts, when educating your audience, when naming your services, please remember that 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 "𝘼𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪". Please, let's all do better and step up our terminology, >>>𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘥.

That's right! I'm so excited to announce that SoleCal is moving downstairs with our neighbors Elevate Massage & Wellness 😌
•
Starting April 1st (no, this isn't an April Fool's joke), our office will be located at 202 Fashion Lane, Ste 110, Tustin, CA 92780
•
Until then we're still open upstairs in Ste 206! If you've been needing a session or want to prep your body for springtime, you can still do so!

Get underfoot today! 👣

Big things are happening at SoleCal 🤗
Can you guess? 🪵🧰👣

Join my friends & I next week for Women’s Day for a little TLC! 😌✨ You deserve it 🌷

So much is happening this month! Read on to learn about our upcoming events & see what our big news is!

Sound Bath Meditations

You've heard about them, but what are they & what are their benefits?

SoleCal sound baths are a tranquil experience where you lay down, tap into your breathing, & let go of your worries while listening to the healing sounds of crystal bowls.

Sound baths have been shown to help:

✨ 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 ~ the tuning of our crystal sound bowls stimulates the brain’s alpha waves which are associated with a state of wakeful relaxation

✨ 𝘋𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 ~ the sound of the bowls allows your body to become more relaxed & your mind to let go of stressors creating a greater sense of calm

✨ 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 ~ the frequencies of the bowls helps reduce levels of cortisol & can lead to less stress, headaches, muscle tension, & fatigue

✨ 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 ~ this calming effect can slow your heart rate & breathing leading to a deeper & more restful sleep

On Friday, March 8th I'll be teaming up with my friend, Vanessa, from Elevate Massage (https://www.instagram.com/elevatemassageoc) for a Women's Self-Care Night!

Enjoy a combination of therapeutic touch, restorative yoga, & sound healing to give yourself a little TLC. Space is limited!

Saturday, March 9th I'll be hosting a donation-based Pisces New Moon Sound Bath Meditation & again on Saturday, March 23rd for the Libra Full Moon Sound Bath Meditation.

Bring your journals & intentions to tap into these powerful energies & recharge your spirit! Space is limited.
