Caroline Iantosca, LMT

Welcome! I’m Caroline, a Licensed Massage Therapist in Knoxville, TN. I help people with chronic pain, high stress and stubborn tension find relief and relaxation through the art of Deep Tissue Barefoot Massage.

Why Barefoot?

Never in a million years did I think I’d be massaging with my FEET, but here we are! Shortly after finishing massage school in 2021, I received my first Barefoot Massage - it was better, deeper, and more comprehensive than any other massage I had ever experienced. So I immediately signed up to take my first class, and it was love at first step!

I love Barefoot Massage because: 

  • It’s deep and luxurious 

  • It’s slow and steady

  • It’s effective and comfortable to receive

  • It’s sustainable for the therapist

  • It’s fun! 

At this point I’ve been massaging with my feet longer than I have with my hands - and yes, they can feel “knots” just the same!

Get to Know Me

Besides the massage table, my feet have taken me some pretty amazing places. I’m originally from Chapel Hill, NC, where I grew up playing the cello and pursued a career in music before wanting to know more about the human body and becoming a massage therapist. I’m a long-distance hiker and have backpacked over 4,000 miles, including a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, the Te Araroa in New Zealand, and most of the Smoky Mountains National Park, where a previous job as a hiking guide landed me here in East Tennessee by chance - and I never left! I’m a dedicated yoga practitioner and received my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification from the Asheville Yoga Center in 2018. I remain a devoted student of anatomy, movement, health, healing, and the human experience.


Why Choose Caroline

YOU are in Control

No aspect of your massage should come as a surprise. We'll go over your treatment plan in detail, and I obtain your informed consent to make sure your boundaries are honored. Our session is about you, not me.

Custom-Tailored Treatments

I keep track of your preferences - everything from your love of scalp massage to your ticklish feet and your favorite music selections. You're not typical; why should your massage be?

Safe Space

ALL are welcome here. No matter your size, gender, or beliefs, I provide a judgement-free zone so you can relax and ignore the outside world. Your comfort is my priority.

Punctuality

Appointments always start and end on time. Provided you arrive at least 5 minutes early, my goal is to maximize your time on the table. My hands don't leave your body until your appointment end time.

No Pressure to Talk

Sometimes you just need a moment to yourself. I love a good conversation, but I won’t initiate one during your massage unless you want to chat. I follow your lead.

Good Tunes

I spent years in the music industry and have a massive collection of relaxing music that’s actually good. I even create customized playlists for some of my regulars - and take requests!

Cleanliness

I keep myself and my space clean and sanitized, and disinfect surfaces between appointments. You can rest assured you’re in a safe and healthy environment.

Certified and Insured

I am fully licensed, insured, and maintain a current CPR and First Responder certification. You are in good hands!
