Centered

The future of massage is afoot… We train massage therapists in the art and science of myofascial ashiatsu barefoot massage techniques. We provide the tools to become fanatical ashiatsu practitioners, curious anatomy nerds and confident barefoot massage specialists. We aim to teach modern, evolving and informed theories of massage that, through your intent and knowledge, can be applied to clinical, sports, and relaxation-based sessions. Instruction is offered in our exclusive live training courses available to Licensed Massage Professionals, taught in person by experienced practitioners and leaders in the field. 

Come and continue your studies in massage therapy with our style of myofascial ashiatsu that we lovingly nicknamed as “FasciAshi”, and also explore our neuromuscular approach to Fijian Barefoot Massage, and our other advanced barefoot bodywork courses hosted at the Center!

What is

Barefoot Massage?

Barefoot Massage is an overall term for when the FEET are used as tools to offer professional massage therapy techniques.

We teach two different styles of Barefoot Massage: Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage – lovingly nicknamed “FasciAshi” (that’s more of an industry term, though. We don’t expect, or really want the public to use that hard-to-pronounce name!) AND we also teach Fijian Barefoot Massage.

Our vision

We want "Barefoot Massage" to be a bigger, more respected part of the conversation when it comes to therapeutic massage. We see the foot as another "tool" to massage with, something that is just as capable and beneficial as the typical hand, elbow, or any 'normal' appendage that is used in traditional massage service. As we educate massage professionals on when/how/why to best utilize Myofascial Ashiatsu and Fijian Barefoot Massage techniques, The Center for Barefoot Massage is working to raise the standard on the quality and perception of this specialized style of work. It’s our goal to grow the awareness and understanding of barefoot massage within the massage industry and in the public eye. Our objective is to instill a culture of creativity and excellence within our alumni network.

We practice what we teach – as FasciAshi instructors, we continue to offer barefoot massage services to our own clients in addition to teaching continuing education courses. We believe that maintaining an active practice in what we teach keeps the material fresh, evolving, and responsive. We encourage attendees in our classes to be lifelong learners and to continue to deepen their understanding of what Barefoot Massage means to them as they grow with us.

After I take the class, can I train my staff?

We get asked this question a lot – “Can I train my staff when I get back to work?” Or, “My spa director wants me to attend class so that I can train the employees everything I learned!” Long story short – you cannot teach the work you learn in our classes UNLESS you are accepted into our instructor training…
