Event Description
This is our introductory course to Ashiatsu Barefoot Bar Therapy. Therapists will have lots of “feet on” time in this 3-day comprehensive class. Barefoot Curriculum includes prone and supine, seated and standing Ashiatsu Techniques. Our methodology is western focused and includes cross-fiber friction, effleurage, petrissage, compression as well as some trigger point and myofascial techniques.
The emphasis during this course will be on body mechanics, barefoot application, contraindications, certification, and bar construction. Therapists will gain enough knowledge and confidence to offer up to a 90-minute full body Ashiatsu treatment.
A non-refundable deposit of $325 is required to hold your spot. Once you complete the registration process a confirmation email will be sent to you. The remaining tuition balance will be due to your instructor two weeks prior to class.
Upon completion of this course, you will receive 25 CE hours. To become certified in Ashiastu DeepFeet Bar Therapy students are required to perform a practical on day three of class, complete an online quiz and submit 20 documented practice sessions.
Please review the following before registering:

The art of learning effleurage fluidly with the feet can be physically and mentally challenging. A successful learning environment depends on team participation.
If you have any physical ailment or debility that may interfere with you or your classmates’ learning process, please contact us in advance. Our #1 priority is safety for all students and guest clients participating in our workshops. A private one on one class may available if you require extra time or attention. Each student will give and receive two or more hours of Ashiatsu on the first two days of class. Although Ashiatsu is incredibly relaxing, it is also a deep compressive form of massage that is not appropriate for all conditions
We reserve the right to cancel class up to two weeks prior to the event if there are less than four students registered. This is highly unlikely to happen, in the event that it does we try and give students as much fair warning as possible. At such time, students can choose a 100% refund, or roll their deposit over to a future training with no penalties.
Your $325 deposit is non refundable should you cancel out of your selected workshop and the scheduled workshop takes place. A tuition roll over to a future workshop is allowed in the event of a healthcare emergency, pregnancy or injury. Two weeks notice is required and the fee to roll over the tuition is $75. When buying airfare, we suggest purchasing a ticket that is refundable should a schedule change occur.

About the Instructor
I became a licensed massage therapist in 2005. In 2007, I opened my own practice and my full-time massage career began. Within a year of opening my studio, I took my first DeepFeet Ashiatsu course and immediately fell in love with this modality. For me, connectivity and fluidity are an important part of the massage, and learning Ashiatsu was like learning a dance, which fit right into the flow of how I practice massage. Ashiatsu has been and continues to be a large part of my practice, not only by helping my clients but also by preserving my body from the wear and tear that comes with what we do. After building a successful practice in New Hampshire over 14 years, I relocated in 2019 to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida to further my career. I have built a successful practice here, nestled in a lovely area, located a block from the beach. I love what I do and am constantly in awe of the human body, and am continually learning and incorporating that into my practice. With the sun, the ocean, the warmth, and year-round flip-flops, Fort Lauderdale has always felt like home for me.
