Do you dress up for Halloween at work?!
I usually come up with an anatomy related Punny costume for work... Like one year I was an Osteophyte by wearing a Bone costume with boxing gloves. Another year I was a Bone Spur by wearing the same bone costume with local San Antonio Spurs basketball team shwag.

I have a good one for this year.....

We just spent four incredible days blending movement and myofascial work from our Intermediate and ROM / Stretch Therapy classesโ€”feeling every shift from the inside out. We explored how strength and resistance activate each stretch, played with creative movement cues and angle of pressure options, fine-tuned the balance between grip and glide, and worked on each other with SERIOUSLY seasoned soles. Somewhere between the laughter, the learning, and the friendships, the classroom turned into its own little barefoot universe.

These deep-dive weekends with fellow fascia nerds (and a few Taylor Swift Easter egg saturated binge weekends of my own) fill my nervous system with the good kind of hum. Long live the SOLES who keep showing up with curiosity, intention, and open-minded feet: you help remind me that the future of massage really is a foot โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Barefoot Massage has come a long way since the Center for Barefoot Massage launched in 2017โ€”and even further since I hung my very first strap back in 2003. Watching this work grow, evolve, and gain recognition has been one of the most empowering forces grounding my careerโ€ฆ proof that when we follow our own pull of gravity in good company, we really can heel the world one sole at a time.

Thank you and have fun with the new stuff!

A year ago, I sat in a San Francisco lecture hall for a full weekend with the legendary Lorimer Moseley and the .usa alongside the one and only Ruth Werner. ๐Ÿค“

We were 2 of only 3 LMTs in a room full of around 150 Physical/Occupational Therapy and Psychology nerve-nerd pro's. I made it about six or seven hours into the first day before my brain hit capacity. But that night, Ruth helped translate the hard parts into something my nervous system could digest... setting the stage for everything to click into place the next day. (Thank you!โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅTurns out my threat response kicked in at the afternoon snack time โ€” nociception became โ€œno-moโ€™-re-tention.โ€ โ˜ ๏ธ)

Itโ€™s taken the past year for me to truly process what I learned there. Since then, Iโ€™ve been deep-diving into their research, integrating those ideas into client conversations, and finding ways to help our instructor team at the weave this science into what we teach and practice.

Rewiring your own โ€œneuro-knowingโ€ and creating shareable educational content on the topic isnโ€™t quick or easy, itโ€™s a process that unfolds through curiosity, repetition, and reflection. Just like the nervous system itself, learning takes time and safety.

๐Ÿง This is my reminder to everyone to never stop learningโ€ฆ go take the big classes in rooms full of big brains.
๐Ÿง Be in the moment and absorb the content from the source: even when your brain feels full.
๐Ÿง Donโ€™t be afraid to fangirl over the people and subjects that light up and challenge your brain.
๐Ÿง And definitely donโ€™t be too stubborn to ask for help when you hit those โ€œwhat even is my brain doing?โ€ moments.

Growth isnโ€™t about knowing it all from the start ...itโ€™s about staying curious enough to keep asking, listening, and learning until it lands.

Thatโ€™s why I'm excited to thread Pain Science into every level of our Barefoot Massage curriculum for our entire team to present โ€” giving you evidence-informed insights, language, and context to help you educate your clients and your community ...empowering them to reconnect, recalibrate, and rediscover what healing feels like underfoot!

Let's get nerdy: See you in the next FasciAshi class ๐Ÿ‘ฃโšก

Last week I taught the Range of Motion / Stretch Therapy class, where we made each other really work for each stretch! We added resistance stretching to stabilize joints, and active stretches to strengthen muscle groups- helping their own muscles pull them into deeper versions of the stretch.

Empowering your clients to move, even to feel the challenge as they try, builds stronger neuromuscular connections and awareness. When you guide them through specific movements during each stretch, their nervous system learns they can move into and out of new ranges, and experience that it's safe throughout that pathway of movement. Thatโ€™s where lasting changes in mobility and pain perception live, in the client participation parts of these sessions... And that's what we teach in this class.

Great job to Krystle, Amber and Heather over these two days!!

09/29/2025

If you feel like you arenโ€™t remembering what was taught in a class all too well, donโ€™t worryโ€”our repeat learning options are here for you. Refreshers, Touch-Ups, Retakes, and Student Clinics were created so the details donโ€™t slip away like a scarf left at someoneโ€™s sisterโ€™s house.

At the Center for Barefoot Massage, we believe true skill doesnโ€™t come from a one-time performanceโ€”it comes from repetition, layering, and returning until the knowledge feels like muscle memory. Our classes are designed for maximum retention, but letโ€™s be honest: hearing, feeling, and practicing it just once rarely captures every nuance. Maybe we got lost in translation the first time you heard it, but when you hear it again, something clicks. Revisiting the material helps you notice the little things you missed, deepen your understanding, and pick up the subtle variations (because no class is ever delivered in exactly the same way twice).

Each instructor brings their own voice and perspective, so even if the lyrics are the same, the song feels different every time. Thatโ€™s how you gain the richest understanding of FasciAshi.

Hereโ€™s how to revisit what youโ€™ve learnedโ€”without needing to write a 10-minute version of your notes later:

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Revitalize (Refresher): One-day visits to sharpen skills.
๐Ÿ‘ฃ Touch-Ups: Short, focused trade sessions on specific techniques.
๐Ÿ‘ฃ Student Clinics: Guided practice with real clients at host sites.
๐Ÿ‘ฃ Retake: Enroll in the full course again for a fresh perspective.

Every return strengthens your confidence and keeps your barefoot massage from fading into the memory haze. Because this work is meant to stay with you all too well.

Working with your feet lets more body weight do the heavy pressure through gravity, not just from your strength.โฃ
โฃ
Broad, sustained pressure distributes force through a larger surface area, creating a slower load rate that taps into fasciaโ€™s viscoelastic propertiesโ€”and since you are using your foot, it's easier to just "give weight and wait" while standing there, giving you more control over tissue response.โฃ

This isnโ€™t your typical "Get Ready With Me" video.

Sure, I could show you all the time it takes to print manuals, make the gift bags, run the paperwork, rearrange my massage room and set up the classroom tables, make sure my CBM Supersuit is clean to wear: but that's all part of the job and it's expected stuff... kinda autopilot by now after 17ish years of teaching.

What I really wanna show you is how much I love to sit on my butt, lol. Before I teach, I take time to resetโ€”no clients, just space to chill in the quiet, alone.

Today I came into my office, double-checked everything to make sure it was ready, then I stopped. I reread parts of my Body By Breath book, sipped on my fave latte from Theory Coffee, and with my dog Susie by my side we sat on the crystals and gems in my Biomat on the couch, soaking up the calm vibes of Heeling Sole... All this instead of rushing on to the next thing.

It reminded me that preparing for training isnโ€™t just about logistics and getting there. Itโ€™s about nervous system prep, too. Slowing down. Reading. Centering.

If youโ€™re joining me in FasciAshi class this week, try it! Give yourself a little pre-class ritual. Arrive rested, curious, and ready for the adventure underfoot.

This is my roommate and friend, Dawn โ€” some of you know her as Zena.

Sheโ€™s all of us: busting butt giving amazing barefoot massages all week, then needing someone else to really get into the spots she canโ€™t reach herself.

๐ŸŽถ Letโ€™s get physicalโ€ฆ physical! ๐ŸŽถ

Be like Dawn/Zena and get yourself underfoot in my Clinical Neck class next Friday in San Antonio!

Youโ€™ll learn two 20โ€“30 minute protocols with pre/post assessments that plug right into the work you already give โ€” and youโ€™ll get some deep care for your own neck in the process (from me and another Advanced-trained Barefoot Massage Therapist).

This is my last Clinical Neck class of 2025 โ€” come hang with us and get those knots handled!

1 day, 8 CE's, $250. 9a-6p Friday 9/25 in San Antonio Texas with Jeni Spring, LMT, BCSI
