Courses Offered are CE...

continuing education classes for Massage Therapists who need to save their hands, so they can keep doing what they love forever while adding diversity and income to their menus. All the CE massage classes and online courses come with certification.

Up to now, massage therapy techniques were all about the client but at the expense of the massage therapist. The modalities offered by Barefoot Masters® benefit both client and massage therapist, by building strength and grace in the areas of our bodies that need it the most,  giving a rest to our hands and giving clients the massage they have always wanted.

About Our Massage Techniques

Ashiatsu Bar massage therapy

is a luxurious and yummy deep tissue barefoot modality, of which she developed the anterior routine as well as revamping basic Ashiatsu massage posterior routine, so everyone could do the basic one-footed techniques. She has trained therapists in Ashiatsu massage since 2001. After the experience of giving a deep tissue massage with her feet without hurting after the session was amazing. Finally, it was the great reviews given by clients, that made the light go on. Michelle knew that this natural balance of using feet was the answer to most massage therapists, basic issues: to give a deep tissue massage that was relaxing for the client and not injurious to the therapist. She believes that Ashiatsu massage training is going to provide a lasting future for the massage therapists by saving their hands. And about becoming a Barefoot Masters ®.
