Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Courses

Taking Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage courses allows you to learn unique, deep-tissue techniques that provide unparalleled relief for clients. Additionally, these courses enhance your skill set, making you a more versatile and in-demand massage therapist. Here is a sample of some of the courses that are available to you:
Introductory Courses
If you've never taken Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Courses with any provider or it's been too longer than a year since your initial class, we recommend beginning with the 3-day Introductory Class, taken in a Group Class or a private (1:1) class, whichever suits your schedule and learning preference best.

Advanced Courses
If you've taken Introductory Ashiatsu with us and you're ready to take your practice to the next level, we recommend registering for one of our Group Advanced Classes. If you're a graduate from a different provider, haven't practiced a lot since your initial learning, or want to expedite your learning, we can customize your learning in a 1:1 Advanced class.

What Our Graduates Are Saying

Jo ViNa

Brenda was awesome. She is clear & knowledgeable in her instructions / lectures. She is very kind & humble teacher. She is very passionate about Ashiatsu & I was inspired ! I will recommend her class to all massage therapists . Thank you Brenda !

J.B. Shaw

The most amazing experience!!!! I can’t wait to perfect Brenda’s Ashiatsu protocol! She provided the best instruction and the days just flew by! I highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking to try a new spin on massage therapy and save your hands, arms, shoulders, basically your upper body! This is not acrobatics, it’s controlled movements to let the therapist relax while the client gets the therapy they need 😁 I can’t wait to schedule training with her again to perfect my Ashiatsu massage!

Juliana Rose

I took the introductory ashiatsu class from Brenda at Southwest Ashiatsu almost exactly a year ago now. As a full time massage therapist at a thriving country club I cannot count the number of times I've looked at my schedule and thought "Thank god for ashiatsu!" Not only do I love receiving ashiatsu, but I absolutely love how it has helped me to grow as a practitioner. Brenda's focus on body mechanics and form has enabled me to safely incorporate ashiatsu into my practice and continue to be successful over time. Her instruction was concise, focused, and practical and her wisdom was invaluable. The instruction I received at SAMBA has been invaluable to my health and growth in my bodywork career!

Maria Kilgo

See! Feel! Do! Repeat! Is not just Brenda’s motto, it is her mantra. This is one of the best trainings I’ve ever attended. The best part is my clients love the modality and my body is stronger and more at peace as a result. I will attend ongoing training with Southwest Ashiatsu whenever possible. I’m so grateful to Brenda for all the coaching and resources. She continues to follow up and provide support across state lines.
