Just the facts, ma'am!

Let’s clear something up:
Barefoot massage is not just someone walking on your back.
❌ It’s not sloppy.
❌ It’s not unsafe.
❌ And it’s definitely not less skilled.
✅ It’s a carefully trained, anatomy-informed modality that allows therapists to deliver deep, consistent pressure—without burning out their hands.
If you've never experienced barefoot massage the right way, it might be time to step into something new.

If you are a California Massage Therapist, or someone who wants to help Cali get up to speed with actual licensing, we still have some work to do: here's something we need to help with before this weekend is over:

Center for Barefoot Massage classes are challenging LMTs to refine their palpation skills & recognition of anatomical structures thru their hands AND feet. As they are feeling their clients bodies underfoot, we want them to consider different theories into the chosen application of their strokes, to understand why each stroke is effective and to know where/when to do it on each client…

So the idea is that FasciAshi-trained therapists can choose which aspect of their foot to use, what angle to approach it at, & where to most effectively apply the most appropriate technique for the tissue-issue at “foot”.

When you come to our classes, get ready to get a new vocabulary, (or at least a nice refresher into what you've maybe not used in a long while) into locating, feeling, hearing and saying a lot of anatomical stuff! It's going to make your sessions EPIC!

(Also, get these bad a$$ Trail Guide anatomical posters from or !!)

One class is not enough: so keep continuing your training beyond the beginner class, and you & your feet will understand more and more.

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...
