Jacie Sturm Massage Therapy
Hi, I'm Jacie, and I specialize in Ashiatsu (barefoot) deep tissue massage and intraoral myofascial therapy for the jaw, face, and neck. Over the past 15 years of teaching yoga, I've developed a deep appreciation for how the body moves, compensates, and heals. I bring that perspective into my massage sessions, combining focused therapeutic work with a whole-body approach to help relieve pain, restore movement, and reduce tension.
As of right now, I am currently working out of my home and only accepting clients I have previously met or those who have been referred to me by someone I know. If you are a referral client, please email me at jaciemassage@gmail.com with a quick note about who referred you prior to booking your appointment. If you are one of Morganne Armstrong’s clients, you do not need to contact me before making your appointment.
Info about my current location (in University West) will be sent once your appointment is confirmed. I plan on moving into a new, public location in late November, at which point I will begin accepting new clients.
I look forward to working with you!
Please make sure to read the descriptions of the treatments I offer at the bottom of this page prior to booking your session.

Ashiatsu (Barefoot) Massage
Deep Tissue Ashiatsu (Barefoot) Massage
In this style of massage, I use ceiling-mounted bars for balance and support while providing massage with my bare feet. This allows me to deliver broad, deep, consistent pressure that can be difficult to achieve with hands, forearms, or elbows alone. For clients who enjoy deeper work and dropping in, this treatment offers an ideal combination of therapeutic depth and relaxation.
Ashiatsu sessions can be customized to your specific treatment goals, whether you’re looking for focused work on specific areas of tension or a full-body deep-pressure experience. Because these strokes are intentionally slow and deep, a 60-minute session can usually only address 1–2 target areas. For a more comprehensive, full body treatment, please book a 75, 90, or 120 minute session.
Relaxation Ashiatsu (Barefoot) Massage
In this style of massage, I use ceiling-mounted bars for balance and support while providing massage with my bare feet. This treatment is for those looking to slow down, relax, and reconnect without the depth or intensity of a deep tissue massage. Because the feet provide a much broader surface of contact than hands or elbows, the pressure can feel grounding and enveloping, similar to the feeling of being under a weighted blanket. You can expect broad, flowing Ashiatsu strokes with a slower pace, moderate pressure, and an emphasis on nervous system regulation.
Please note: It is recommended that clients fully undress for Ashiatsu sessions, as it allows for greater access to the long, full-body gliding strokes used in Ashiatsu. You will always be appropriately draped and adequately covered throughout your treatment. The session can be adapted if you prefer to leave underwear on, though this may limit access to certain techniques and require more compression-based work in place of some of the traditional gliding strokes.
Intraoral Treatments
Therapeutic TMJ Treatment (Intraoral)
This treatment is designed for those experiencing specific jaw pain. It is effective for addressing chronic tension and dysfunction in the muscles of the jaw, face, and neck and can help with concerns around jaw pain, teeth grinding, clenching, facial tension, tension headaches, limited jaw mobility, and TMJ dysfunction. By working both externally and intraorally, this treatment allows access to muscles that are difficult to reach through traditional massage alone.
Treatment may include external work to the chest, neck, face, and jaw, movement and range-of-motion assessment, and targeted (gloved) intraoral techniques. These sessions are interactive and involve jaw movement, feedback, and reassessment throughout the treatment with the goal of releasing patterns of tension and improve comfort and function.
For your first TMJ Treatment session, I recommend booking a 75 minute session to allow plenty of time for an initial assessment and treatment. 60-minute sessions are available for returning clients seeking more targeted work, or for those who prefer a shorter session. If you’d like to experience Intraoral work alongside my other bodywork offerings, consider booking a Combination Bodywork session. This is also a great option if you’re curious about Intraoral work but aren’t ready to dedicate an entire session to it.
Relaxing Facial Massage (Intraoral)
This treatment is designed for those looking to release everyday tension held in the face, jaw, scalp, and neck. Slow, soothing external massage is combined with gloved intraoral work to address the muscles inside the mouth, offering a more complete release for the jaw and face.Unlike my therapeutic Intraoral sessions, this treatment is less about addressing specific TMJ dysfunction. Instead, the intention is simply to soften tension, encourage relaxation, and leave the muscles of the face and jaw feeling rested and at ease. Clients may choose to end the session with facial cupping lymphatic drainage.
If you’d like to experience Intraoral work alongside my other bodywork offerings, consider booking a Combination Bodywork session. This is also a great option if you’re curious about Intraoral work but aren’t ready to dedicate an entire session to it.
Other Massage & Bodywork Options
Focused Bodywork
This session is for clients who have a specific area of pain, tension, restriction, or dysfunction they’d like to better understand and address. We’ll take a collaborative and exploratory approach by assessing what you’re experiencing, noticing patterns in movement and tissue, and adjusting the treatment as we go based on how your body responds.
These sessions tend to be more communicative and may incorporate a variety of techniques from my training experience, including myofascial work, Ashiatsu (barefoot) techniques, trigger point therapy, intraoral jaw release, cupping, stretching, joint movement, and other hands-on approaches. The goal is to explore what may be contributing to the issue and determine what type of work is most useful for the area we’re addressing.
Because these sessions are intended for focused, problem-specific work, they are offered as 60- and 75-minute sessions. If you’d like a longer session, please book a Combination Bodywork session instead and we can combine focused bodywork with the other treatment options of your choice.
Combination Bodywork
These sessions are for clients who would like to combine two or more of my treatment offerings within a single appointment. This option is especially well suited for those who want to incorporate both intraoral and bodywork techniques. If you are a new client, please indicate which treatments you’d like to combine on your intake form. For returning clients, I’ll reach out prior to your appointment to confirm your preferred combination of treatments.
