Introductory
If you are ready to install bars and begin your barefoot massage practice, this is the course for you. You will learn posterior and anterior Ashiatsu techniques that create a fluid, effective 90-120 minute massage that may be customized for clients. This Introductory Ashiatsu course builds a great foundation for any therapist to be most successful in barefoot massage through learning specific set-up and body mechanics vital to the longevity of their practice.
Traditional Eastern
If you currently provide over-the-clothing modalities, have a set of Mobile Ashiatsu Bars and want to learn clothed barefoot techniques, or simply want to add more varied techniques that do not include any oils or effleurage to your repertoire, this is the course for you. Posterior and Anterior Stretching, Range of Motion (ROM), and Compression techniques are seamlessly blended to create and customize a 90 minute protocol for your clients. Portions of this course focus on techniques for Event and Sport Massage.
Introductory Seated
If you are interested in Ashiatsu but not ready to install bars, or want to try learning a bit of barefoot techniques before committing too much to the modality, this is the course for you. Intro Seated offers a 60 minute protocol of posterior and anterior upper-torso techniques that can be a stand-alone treatment session. Clients get to experience barefoot massage while you learn to incorporate the modality into your every day practice. It serves as a great introduction to Ashiatsu for both therapists and clients.
Group Classes
Our group classes are now limited to four therapists per class, and available by listed calendar dates under the "Register for Group Class" tabs. Introductory Group classes are offered in Tucson, AZ and San Clemente, CA. Advanced classes are available in Tucson, AZ and possibly on-site training. If you are used to taking CE classes and learn well from them, we encourage you to take a group class. We recommend selecting 1-2-1 learning for therapists looking for highly individualized training.
