Continuing Education for Massage Therapists

Ashiatsu Class for LMTs
If you’re a therapist performing deep tissue massage day after day with clients who request deep bodywork, then Ashiatsu massage is the PERFECT modality for you! Utilizing overhead bars for balance and support, you will learn how to give full body massage using deep, broad, consistent pressure while gliding with oil and your FEET!

Why Choose to Invest in Learning Barefoot Massage Techniques?

The “Art” of Ashiatsu massage teaches you how to use gravity and weight shifting to deliver an effective deep massage without tiring out your wrists, hands and back. Repetitive overuse puts stress on your body that can eventually lead to injury. As an Ashiatsu therapist, you can give twice the amount of weight with half the amount of effort, supporting YOUR body and prolonging your massage career for many years to come!

DeepFeet Course 1: Ashiatsu Basics

This is the introductory class to Ashiatsu “barefoot” Massage. Therapists will have lots of “feet on” time in this class. Strokes learned will focus on the posterior and anterior aspect of the body. By the third day therapists will deliver a full Ashiatsu massage on a provided male guest client. Emphasis during the three-day course will be on body mechanics, barefoot application, contraindications, marketing, and bar construction. A deposit of $325 is required to hold your spot in class. Only six students maximum per course.

TESTIMONIALS

Reviews for our Ashiatsu Course for LMTs

“I took the Deepfeet Bar Therapy (DeepFeet 1 Basics Ashiatsu) course with Serena as my instructor. It was an amazing class and I would highly recommend it to any LMT. The material was thorough, the amount of hands-on learning was perfect and the instruction was clear. I can’t wait to give clients deep tissue massages with my feet instead of my hands! I would also recommend to anyone looking for a lovely massage to go see Serena and her staff at their Paia studio.“

“I took the Ashiatsu Deep Feet course with Serena and it was more awesome than I thought it would be! The class is structured well, the information is on point and Serena is an excellent teacher! Definitely recommend for LMT's looking to broaden their skill set.”

Kacie

“Recently took an ashiatsu class with Serena and it was amazing! I flew in from New York just to take her class and have nothing but great things to say. She helped me find a place to stay while I was out there that wouldn’t be too far from her facility and checked up on me until I made it! During the class she was thorough, answered all questions, and due to the fact that I was trying to enjoy my time in Hawaii i enjoyed that she made sure we stayed in track that we were out on time!”

"I took the Ashiatsu training with Serena. It was lovely. I highly recommend it if you are drawn or desiring to expand your practice. Ashi is such an amazing modality that feels so good to give and receive. Serena is also an amazing teacher, it felt like she was able to tune into me and explain things in a clear way that my unique brain could understand. She also holds a lot of integrity in her business and practice which is felt and appreciated!"

Jade

Serena was very detailed, easy to follow and understand, and communicated her craft with passion and much knowledge. She had detailed preplanned protocols and procedures for each class sessions. I learned a lot in 3 days and felt more confident in giving an ashi massage by the last day of class. Really enjoyed learning ashiatsu and plan on implementing it sometime in my private sessions. Mahalo nui Serena.”

Kelli

“I just took the Ashiatsu training and I can’t recommend it enough! Serena was an awesome teacher, very thorough, kind, and helpful... the modality itself is such a wonderful tool to add in your arsenal... if someone wants deep work, Ashiatsu is super effective and leaves the client feeling incredible and very satisfied. I’m very happy with my experience here.,
