We don’t just teach Ashiatsu… we live and breathe it.

If you've heard of barefoot massage anytime since 2008 - chances are the waves we have been making in Texas are what rippled into your point of view!

The Texas Ashiatsu scene is a big part of the forward momentum across the growing barefoot massage industry, and classes in Texas with Jeni have been leading the way since 2008. Our Texas Ashiatsu Instructors, Jeni Spring and Hillary Arrieta, are involved with the Texas AMTA, the AFMTE, NCBTMB, COMTA and local massage school boards. We stay in touch with our profession at the state and national level so that we can help create change for the future of Barefoot Massage Therapists.

We practice what we teach: as FasciAshi instructors, we continue to offer barefoot massage services to our own clients in addition to teaching continuing education courses. We believe that maintaining an active practice in what we teach keeps the material fresh, evolving, and responsive.

Plus, we love the work so much that we want to continue massaging! (We'll be two feet deep in our clients muscles until we are 6 feet deep in the ground!)

5-7 Year Long Career?

"They" say that you are lucky to make it to the 7th year practicing massage. It definitely takes 2 years to hone in on your craft and create a solid following - so that leaves you with just 5 years to survive and thrive? That's not enough to pay off your massage school loans! Adding Barefoot Massage as the main power tool in  your massage toolbelt can lengthen your career, save your body, and gain you a strong following of clients as you continue to massage f-a-r beyond the 7 year predictions. Jeni is at year #20 in 2022!

You are #1.

If it's one thing that massage therapists are not consistently good at - it's taking care of themselves. We give and give, but our own self care can take a hit. With FasciAshi, you'll be saving your hands by reducing the grip. You'll be limiting the amount of compression forces in your wrists and shoulders. You'll get to stand up straight and work on your own posture while massaging - rather than hunching over. Although you aren't doing pull-ups all hour long in your bars, the micro-movements of lift will help to strengthen and tone your upper limbs, while also creating traction in your wrists. Your glutes, adductors and core will activate as you dance through your massages. Your feet will be constantly stimulated and strengthened as they bend and contort to mold into the uneven shapes of your clients body. The ease of providing deep tissue with the help of your body weight and gravity will conserve your physical and mental energy so that you can have a life outside of work. YOU. You are the #1 reason to learn FasciAshi.   

So lets do this.

 

1st Step:

FASCIASHI FUNDAMENTALS

2nd Steps:

 

Intermediate

Give weight and wait. This 2-day intermediate ashiatsu class empowers the experienced barefoot massage therapist to maintain long trigger point holds and deliver deep, slower gliding strokes to the anterior and lateral aspects of your client’s body. Get to the forgotten muscles, or at least the hard to reach ones, and learn new ways to utilize your ashi-strap to help you massage on different planes with varying angles of pressure. $500, 16 NCBTMB CE’s (+$100 when the instructor travels to teach)

Complete this class for access to the Advanced FasciAshi course...

 
 

OR

ROM

Using Passive, Active and Resisted Range of Motion techniques, this 2-day stretch therapy class allows the Massage Therapist to stand on a massage table and maneuver clients limbs with their feet, while holding onto overhead support for balance and leverage. This helps a practitioner effortlessly maintain consistent pressure and leverage while providing sustained compression, and long fascial stretches. $500, 16 NCBTMB CE’s (+$100 when the instructor travels to teach)

Complete this class and you'll have access to the Barefoot Sports Massage Track of Classes

 

3rd Step:

ADVANCED

This 2-day 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 barefoot massage focusing on structural alignment. $500, 16 NCBTMB CE’s (+$100 when the instructor travels to teach)

Complete this class and you'll have access to the Clinical Barefoot Massage Track of Classes: like Clinical Neck!


 

Side Step:

Fijian Barefoot Massage

This style of barefoot massage is performed on a floor mat, with the client clothed - no bars overhead are needed. Fijian Massage incorporates specific, deep pressure followed by a vigorous jostle movement to the larger muscle groups, and works with intensity by using our strong toes and bony aspects of our feet to create simple, rhythmic stroke repetitions. There are no prerequisites for this 2-day class - it’s beginner level neuromuscular barefoot massage! $500, 16 NCBTMB CE’s (+$100 when the instructor travels to teach)

Steps Ahead:

Specialty Track classes for Endorsed FasciAshi Barefoot Massage Therapists!
