Barefoot Space: A Sanctuary for All
Our mission is to hold and create a safe space for everyone, regardless of race or orientation. We are committed to building a fear-free zone where violence, bullying, and hate speech are as welcome as a skunk at a party.
We intend to facilitate transformation through Myofascial Barefoot Massage, Mobility, and Stretch Therapy techniques. We encourage and empower you to actively participate in your healing and wellness journey.
Our Massage Professionals are not just skilled; they are also compassionate therapists committed to addressing your tissue and mobility issues. Whether you are seeking relief from pain, stress reduction, or rejuvenation, we’ve got your back!

Your Therapist
Dawn R Dotson, LMT NCBTMB, AMTA, NY State License - 028903-1
Hi! I’m Dawn, your Upstate NY Barefoot Massage Therapist, Yoga Instructor, Mobility Coach, and CrossFit Trainer. Licensed in NY State, insured, and Board-Certified, I’ve journeyed from my home in the PNW to Germany before setting foot and creating roots here in the Capital Region, NY.
I am the owner of Barefoot Space, the only “solely” barefoot massage practice in NYS. We offer specialized deep-tissue, myofascial treatments called FasciAshi Barefoot Massage. I work with humans, aliens, and athletes of all shapes and sizes. I do prefer to work with athletes, but who is an athlete, really? What makes you an athlete? Athletes can come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and demographics!
Additionally, I teach Mobility Classes and assist our clients with yoga, mobility, and strength training as needed. I am grateful and honored to also be an instructor for the Center for Barefoot Massage, where I’m passionate about sharing my expertise with the next generation of Professional Massage Therapists.

Erika Hill - Licensed Massage Therapist (NY State License - 030105-01)
Erika is a graduate of the Center for Natural Wellness. She was drawn to massage therapy to help people of all shapes and sizes manage pain holistically. While still in massage school, she discovered Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage and knew she had to dig her heels in!
After completing an 80-hour internship with Dawn, Erika committed to mastering the modality and joined Barefoot Space as a full-time employee. Since then, she has grown her practice exponentially.
When Erika is not at work, she enjoys music, and spending time with her dog, family, and friends. Life’s too short for all work and no play!
