How barefoot massage can extend your career by 10+ years 👣

By reducing strain on your hands, wrists, and shoulders, barefoot massage lets you work with gravity instead of muscle force. Better body mechanics, consistent deep pressure, and less wear on your joints mean more years doing the work you love—without burning out.

Top 3 reasons therapists burn out—and how Ashiatsu helps prevent it 👣

Overworked hands, poor body mechanics, and the constant demand for deeper pressure take a real toll. Ashiatsu shifts the workload to gravity and your lower body, supports upright posture, and delivers deep, consistent pressure without sacrificing your joints. Longevity isn’t luck—it’s technique.

Deep pressure doesn’t have to mean burnout.
Ashiatsu is one of the safest deep-pressure techniques to learn—using gravity, bars, and smart body mechanics to protect your body while delivering consistent, effective work. Strong, sustainable, and built for longevity.

Those overhead bars aren’t just part of the setup—they’re the foundation of the work.

They provide balance, support, and safety while allowing therapists to use gravity and clean body mechanics instead of force. The result? More control, smoother pressure, less strain on the body, and a technique that’s actually sustainable long term.

This is how DeepFeet therapists work smarter, not harder—and why the bars matter.

It’s a long-game decision for your body and your career.

DeepFeet 1 is where many therapists finally stop sacrificing their hands to do the work they love. This beginner Ashiatsu training teaches you how to deliver deep, effective pressure without burning yourself out.

This training may be for you if:

• Your hands, wrists, or shoulders are already speaking up
• Clients crave deeper work, but your body pays the price
• You want your career to last — not just survive
• You’re ready to offer something truly different in your local market
• You believe smart body mechanics matter as much as technique
• You want your work to feel sustainable, not exhausting

Your hands don’t need to take all the impact.

There is another way to work — one that allows your feet, balance, and body weight to do the heavy lifting while protecting your joints and energy.

DeepFeet 1 isn’t about adding another tool to your menu.
It’s about changing how you show up to the table — today and years from now.

If you’re ready to shift how you work and care for your body,

Your future practice depends on the choices you make now.

After about 11 years of practicing Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy, teaching changed everything.

I began having powerful “aha” moments—not just as an instructor, but as a practitioner. Teaching forced me to slow down, ask better questions, and truly observe my own body mechanics.

Then in 2019, teaching online created another shift. Without being able to physically move students, I had to rely on language, shared anatomical understanding, and clear communication. That experience transformed how I teach—and made my in-person classes even stronger.

Today, I create space for exploration in the classroom. I direct more, demonstrate less, and help students see what they’re doing versus what they intend to do.

One of my favorite moments is when a student says,
“Oh… I see how I’m leaning away from my work.”

That’s when it clicks. They learn to lean in, use gravity, and deliver deeper work with less effort. Movements become smoother, transitions easier, and Ashi Thai begins to feel like the dance it truly is.

I take the responsibility of teaching DeepFeet Bar Therapy seriously. My classroom is supportive and fun, but grounded in safety, accountability, and sustainable body mechanics—so students leave confident, informed, and capable.

✨ These “aha” moments—mine and theirs—are exactly why I teach.

As I move into my 26th year of providing massage and bodywork, I’ve been reflecting on the moments that shaped my path—and it’s clear that everything changed when I traveled across the ocean to Thailand.

In 2002, I completed 180 hours of Thai Massage training, where I learned how to use my entire body and work over the client instead of from the side of the table. That experience forever changed how I understood movement, pressure, and presence.
But the palm walking and thumb pressure of Thai Massage eventually became hard on my body.

When I returned home, I discovered DeepFeet Bar Therapy. It took me a few years to finally take the course—but within the first four hours, I was completely sold.
Receiving bodywork with someone’s feet felt unbelievably grounding and deeply relaxing. I couldn’t even tell it was their feet doing the work—and I couldn’t believe I had waited so long.

DeepFeet didn’t just change how I worked.
It saved my career.

I truly believe I wouldn’t be 26 years into this practice without it.

Teaching DeepFeet Bar Therapy has become one of the most fulfilling parts of my journey. I love watching massage therapists rediscover their passion for healing—often in ways they never thought possible.

As I step into 2026, the year of the Fire Horse, I’m excited to continue teaching from my new wellness center while supporting massage therapists and healing practitioners in building sustainable businesses and honoring their own visions.

Let 2026 be the year you release what no longer serves you and step into a new way of caring for yourself and others.
