Barefoot Matwork 👣

🦶Works on its own or blended into Thai, Shiatsu, Ashiatsu, or other mat sessions

🚗Super portable—perfect for events, house calls, or outdoor sessions

❌No table, oils, or overhead bars required (strap or chair helps for balance)

🦵Uses strong, precise foot pressure + rhythmic jostling for deep muscle work

🎱Built on 8 versatile moves you can adapt to any session (I like to hijack some of the moves for my on-the-table barefoot massage sessions!)

The most commonly asked question about ALL of the barefoot massage videos I post:

Where are you located?
Cincinnati. Mt. Healthy, specifically.

some call it

Do your hands hurt from holding onto the bars for barefoot massage?

Or do you mostly use the strap?

I will ☠️ on this hill.

You can only learn Barefoot Massage properly when you take a live, in person class.

The instructor not only teach WHY you're doing the moves and how to do them, but I will give feedback, # adjustments, information tips, tricks and answer any questions you have in real time.

Body mechanic modifications? I've got you.

This is the intermediate class where the therapists learned sidelying and anterior work.

You start with fundamentals, which is mostly prone work. Move into intermediate and then advanced and finished with clinical neck.

We also teach stretching on the table and mat work, done on the floor through clothes.

my April fundamentals class is full, but I have one space left in my June class. If you have any questions about Barefoot Massage, hit me up. If your massage therapist, you can sign up for my class with the link in my profile.

Who the heck does barefoot massage?

That would be me, Mary-Claire. Licensed by the State of Ohio Medical Board (33.008321) since January 15, 1999 (yes, I remember the date!). Why barefoot massage? The benefits are awesome for both my clients and me. It feels great, their results are long lasting, and I don’t feel like a T-Rex with itty bitty arms screaming after a long day of work. That’s why I teach, too, why I innovate. Because I need to help those who know there MUST be another way to do the work they love without killing themselves.
