Welcome Friends
It’s a pleasure to have you here. I’m Mariah Barr, a licensed massage therapist based in Crestwood, KY. I’m a wife, mom to a vibrant 10-year-old, and proud pet mom to a hypoallergenic cat and a sweet Dalmatian.
After stepping away from a healthcare career to focus on my own healing, I discovered the transformative power of therapeutic massage. It’s helped me find balance and manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic pain—and I’m here to help you do the same.
I graduated from Advanced Massage Therapeutics in Louisville, KY, in April 2025, with training in Swedish, deep tissue, stretching, trigger point therapy, injury assessment, and myofascial release. I’ve had the privilege of working with a local chiropractor and Racing Louisville, and now, I’m proud to run my own practice.
I’m also certified in Ashiatsu Barefoot Bar Therapy, a flowing, dance-like technique that’s both gentle and powerful, helping to release deep tension. It’s a method I’m truly passionate about, as the therapeutic benefits this modality offers are life changing.
I practice intuitive therapeutic massage. Tuning into your energy & needs, I curate the divine experience that your body asks for. Identifying areas of tension, pain or restriction, your massage is tailored accordingly, mixing modalities to facilitate healing and melt your tensions away, as you surrender in the flow of therapeutic massage.
My Services
Ashiatsu Bar Barefoot Massage
Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique in which the therapist delivers deep, broad, consistent pressure while utilizing their bare feet and body weight. Working with gravity instead of against it, Ashiatsu therapists are able to provide an effective therapeutic massage without causing discomfort to themselves or the client. Ashiatsu is not painful and is the best, most effective form of deep tissue work. Our feet have more nerve endings per square centimeter than any other part on the body, allowing the therapist to feel and connect with the client in a deeper way than pressure.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is an integrative, results oriented approach that blends several proven techniques to address both chronic tension and acute discomfort.
Therapeutic massage is extremely beneficial for helping to heal from injuries. Injury massage works by breaking down scar tissue, improving blood flow, reducing inflammation and enhancing flexibility. Repetitive strain issues are the most common, and can show up as shoulder pain, low back pain, hip pain, hamstring pulls, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulder, patella tendonitis, whiplash, tennis elbow, golfer's (climber's) elbow and ankle sprain. I also perform side-lying pregnancy massage for expecting mothers in their second and third trimester.
Add Ons: Basalt Hot Stones, Muscle Scraping, Theragun and Silicone Cupping can be added to appointments at no additional charge. CBD massage oil upgrade is $10.
