NOTICE: 2025 classes will TEMPORARILY not have the payment plan option while we transition between registration systems. If you try to sign up for a 2025 class and a payment plan is not offered, that is why. You can either choose to pay in full before we switch systems, or wait until the transition is complete - at that time on the new system you'll be able to chose payment plans. The system switch should happen in December 2024.
Wait wait wait: do you want an explanation of what Barefoot Massage is, and what styles we teach?! Ok, GO HERE first!
1st
Step: FasciAshi Fundamentals
Your Barefoot Massage journey starts here. This beginner Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage training will teach you how to use your feet to provide a full body deep tissue, myofascial release and trigger point work focused barefoot massage session.
Complete this class to gain access to the Relaxation based barefoot massage track of classes.
Or
Alternate 1st Step: Fijian Barefoot Massage
Would you rather focus on a matwork style of barefoot massage? Fijian Barefoot Massage is performed with the client clothed, laying on a padded floor mat - not up on a massage table. You have many options to stay seated in a chair, the floor or a support strap - no overhead support system is required.
Attendance in this class WILL NOT give you access to the Intermediate or ROM classes.

3rd
Step: Advanced
This advanced level class empowers the experienced ashiatsu barefoot massage therapist to work with more difficult single and double footed strokes, potentially applying their full bodyweight as “kneaded.” Strokes are performed with the client in Prone, Anterior and Sidelying positions, while the therapist massages from varying angles of pressure to achieve a safe, deep, Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot massage focusing on structural alignment.
Complete this class and you'll have access to the Clinical Barefoot Massage Track of Classes

Find your pathway to becoming a Barefoot Massage Specialist
Each class builds on the last - there is a progression to not only the difficulty of the techniques, but also to the depth of theory applied within the work. We recommend you allow 6 months between each level of training when possible, and use that time to practice, and really get to know the work before moving on.
The deeper you get into your FasciAshi training, the more you can niche down into your specialty. We'll be releasing new Track classes each year, building the rosters within our Relaxation, Sports and Clinical areas of study. Every Massage Therapist is different based on their training and experiences - and so should every Barefoot Massage Therapist!
