Want to get under our Alumni’s feet? Did you do a google search for “ashiatsu massage near me” but wish the results had myofascial ashiatsu barefoot massage therapists singled out? Let us help you find where they are at! We know the feeling – once you try Myfoascial Ashiatsu, (AKA FasciAshi) you won’t go back to normal massage – and…
The FasciAshi Fundamentals class is where we will teach you e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g that you will need to know on how to install ashiatsu bars and straps, and how to build your overhead bar support. In class, we provide designs and blueprints with detailed suggested material shopping lists that outlines which wood to choose, as well as the specifications of the ~many~ different…
Thank you so much for your interest to teach for the Center for Barefoot Massage! We are honored that you would even ask! Before we ever consider bringing anyone into our business to represent FasciAshi, we do require candidates to attend the courses themselves, and fully experience the work we have to offer within the learning environments we’ve created. We…
What is Barefoot Massage? It’s not a foot massage – this is when the massage therapist massages YOU with their feet! Barefoot Massage is simply the act of using feet as tools to professionally massage with. Part of our mission here at the Center for Barefoot Massage is not only to cultivate a tribe of smart, educated and informed barefoot…
What kind of things should you bring to your FasciAshi or Fijian Barefoot Massage class? The list of items to bring ~could vary~ between locations, instructors and classes. Check your email after you sign up for FasciAshi class! You will receive a registration confirmation email immediately after signing up for class from info@barefootmassagecenter.com, and another one from your instructor…
Do you offer webinars, or ashiatsu e-learning online video training? No. The Center for Barefoot Massage does not, and will not, teach barefoot massage technique through webinars, or e-learning online video ashiatsu training. Down the road we will offer online training and webinars for topics that are not teaching any feet-on techniques, but will be offering invaluable lessons for other aspects…
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…
That’s actually a common misunderstanding – there is technically no ashiatsu weight limit in our Beginner/Intermediate level FasciAshi training (Fundamentals, Intermediate: Supine/Sidebody and ROM.. there ARE strength and skill requirements and weight restrictions for the Fasciashi Advanced class, however.) ASHIATSU IS MEANT TO BE PERFORMED ON CLIENTS WHO ARE 50-100 POUNDS HEAVIER THAN THE MASSAGE THERAPIST. One thing that needs to…
You need to have an ashiatsu massage table that will hold your body weight, plus your heaviest client, plus a few hundred extra pounds breathing room within the working weight capacity of that table. DO YOU HAVE THE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL SUPPORT THIS WORK? We ~tend to~ recommend the Earthlite Ellora or the Earthlite Spirit – or something comparable. No…
We will thoroughly discuss ashiatsu contraindications for your clients in every FasciAshi class. We aim to maintain a safe learning environment for everyone, to massage ethically, and to ensure that every attendee in class gets to experience what the work feels like. As such, there are some ashiatsu contraindications, health cautions and concerns that students need to consider for themselves.…
