Slow, precise, Barefoot fascia-focused bodywork for people who carry stress, responsibility, and chronic tension and want something that holds up in real life.
Deep tissue wasn’t deep enough.
So I brought Sarga here.
Sarga and myofascial bodywork in Columbus, Ohio
This is not spa massage.
It’s not a routine.
And it’s not light work pretending to be deep.
Sarga Bodywork is a modern barefoot method that uses feet, bodyweight, and leverage to apply slow, sustained pressure through the fascial system.
I didn’t start with barefoot work.
I landed here because hands-only techniques hit limits, especially with people who train hard, work long hours, or carry chronic tension that never fully lets go.
Sarga solved that.
Using the feet allows for broader contact, steadier pressure, and more control at depth. Not more force. Better force.
WHY THIS EXISTS
WHAT MAKES SARGA DIFFERENT
Not all barefoot work is the same.
Sarga Bodywork® is a defined method, not improvisation.
That matters.
It’s built around:
sustained, even pressure instead of poking or digging
intentional lines of force through the body
pacing that lets tissue adapt instead of resist
People often describe it as:
deep but not aggressive
grounding instead of draining
something their body actually responds to
I’m currently the only certified Sarga Bodywork practitioner in Columbus & 1 of 2 in Ohio, bringing this method here for people who need more than standard massage.
No trends.
No gimmicks.
Just a system that works.
Sessions are floor-based and may include movement and positional work influenced by Thai bodywork principleswhen appropriate.
This supports:
joint decompression
range of motion
better integration of pressure with movement
Thai influence isn’t a separate service.
It’s part of how Sarga is intelligently applied. .
Start here
The Session
A focused 105-minute session for first-time clients.
We combine conversation, assessment, and deep, fascia-focused barefoot bodywork to address your primary tension patterns and see how your body responds in real time. This is the best way to experience how I work and decide what, if anything, makes sense moving forward.
What’s Included
We start with conversation to understand your history and what you’re dealing with, followed by movement- and breath-based assessment. From there, the session is built around what your body needs that day.
Depending on how your body responds, the work may include:
Fascia-focused barefoot bodywork (Sarga)
Breath used to support structure and pressure
Simple mobility or decompression strategies
There’s no routine and no preset sequence. I assess, adapt, and guide the work as it unfolds.
You’ll leave with a clear recommendation for next steps, whether that’s ongoing care or simply letting the work integrate.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What The Session Actually Looks Like
No mystery. No weird scripts. Just a clear, grounded process.
Step 1 – Conversation & Assessment (10–15 min)
We start by talking through what’s going on: where you feel tension, how you move through your day, how you train or work, and what you want out of the session.
I’ll also look at how you stand, breathe, and move so we can focus on what actually matters.
Step 2 – The Work
Most of the session happens on the floor, using slow, deliberate barefoot pressure, movement, and position to work through your fascial system.
Expect depth without rushing.
Anchored contact, not a fast full-body routine.
I’ll explain what I’m noticing in plain language as we go, if that’s helpful for you.
Step 3 – Integration & Next Steps
We finish with a check-in: what changed, what you notice, and what comes next.
If ongoing work makes sense, I’ll recommend a simple, reasonable plan, not a long sales pitch.
You’ll leave with a clearer sense of how your body is operating and what we’re building toward.
Clients often leave with:
less chronic tension
easier, deeper breathing
a calmer internal baseline
improved mobility without forcing it
fewer flare-ups between sessions
better sleep and recovery
a body that feels supported, not tight
These aren’t promises.
They’re common patterns when fascia-focused, nervous-system-led bodywork is done well.
This is the difference between surface-level massage and work that actually changes how your body organizes and responds to stress.

WHO THIS IS FOR
This work is for people who:
have tried massage and felt it fall short
want depth without being crushed
train hard, work hard, or carry constant load
are done chasing temporary relief
If you’re looking to zone out and relax, this probably isn’t for you.
If you want something that actually changes how your body feels, you’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Nic,
My background spans health and human performance, paramedicine, strength and conditioning, breathwork, and advanced manual therapy.
I pull the most effective elements from each and apply them in a way that helps people feel and function better without overcomplication.
Nothing mystical.
Nothing overpromised.
Just real physiology, applied with intent.
This work is for people who want clarity, depth, and long-term change in how their body actually operates.
I brought this method to Columbus for people who need more than standard massage.
Sarga is the method I committed to because it solved problems hands-only work couldn’t.
No trends.
No gimmicks.
Just a system that works.
