HAVE YOU LOST YOUR WAY?
REVIEW! REFRESH! RETAKE!

At the Center for Barefoot Massage, we understand that MASTERING the skill in just a single stroll across someones biceps femoris can be difficult or impossible. Our classes are fantastic, let's face it & infomative, but we know knowledge can slip away quicker than a greased watermelon. That’s why...

Train with Dawn Dotson from New York Barefoot Massage Training in her upcoming Intermediate class, which covers strokes for sidelying and supine positions. Intricate use of the FasciAshi support strap is a big focus in this class. This unique addition to the overhead ashiatsu bars allows us to work on variable angles and vectors with consistent, controllable pressure that prevents fatigue for the barefoot massage therapist.

I am SO extremely excited to announce that our new custom registration and membership system should be launching sometime in December!⁣
⁣
I've been hard at work designing an all-in-one website with our website team most of this year (𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦, 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮.) ⁣
⁣
Our goal all along has been to create a place where you can connect with the Center for Barefoot Massage before, during and after your training and have everything you need at your toe tips: registration for classes, videos to study, provider listings to get found.. everything all in one place under 1 single log-in. ⁣

This payment plan function WILL RETURN on the new site, so if you are interested in signing up for a 2025 class, you are free to do so now on our "old" system, MindBodyOnline, but it will require you to pay in full with no payment plan options. ⁣

Just because you use your feet/foot to massage, & just because the word may literally translate to foot pressure, doesn't mean that it's "Ashiatsu."⁣
⁣
The Center for Barefoot Massage has been working for years to not only normalize the phrase "Barefoot Massage", but also help to define it. There are a few massage FB groups discussing the definition of things like "Medical Massage", "Sports Massage" etc... well we'd like to discuss the definition of Barefoot Massage!⁣

We actually want to step away from just using the solo word Ashiatsu - if it HAS to be used to further define our style within the genre, then we'll use it with a qualifier such as "𝘔𝘺𝘰𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘶 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦" or FasciAshi. ⁣
⁣
It has been frustrating to see NCBTMB host an "𝘈𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘶" category but not a Barefoot Massage category. It's hard to see hashtags on massage posts where a foot is in action, but definitely not doing the traditional eastern ashiatsu matwork or westernized ashiatsu barefoot massage. It's also really gut wrenching to see so many styles of Barefoot Massage get called the 𝘈 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 when they have their own history, lineage & legacy that is separate, unique + amazing in it's own way.⁣
