NC Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Training

11/11/2025

The NC Ashiatsu website has officially merged with ! Since I own both, it made sense to bring everything under one roof to make things simpler for everyone. 💻👣

You can still learn all about the different barefoot massage classes—Fundamentals, Intermediate, Clinical, and Advanced—and there are direct links to sign up, view upcoming schedules, and explore what each class offers.

Everything is now housed on the “For Therapists” page at BullCitySoles.com, so be sure to bookmark it for easy access!

Thanks for following along and being part of this journey. Please let me know if you have any questions!

P.S. I’ll still be running separate Instagram pages so make sure to stick along!

Being a barefoot massage therapist doesn’t mean I exclusively use my feet. 👣

I use my feet as a tool, in combination with my hands, to provide the best possible treatment for my clients.

I haven’t taught ROM in years…and wow, I forgot how much I love it.

We spent Monday–Tuesday diving into Range-of-Motion theory and application (then a half-day clinic), and this full 8-student crew from PA, NC, and TN made it a blast.

Good news: ROM is officially back as a once-a-year class at the Durham campus. If you want in next round, keep an eye on the Training page and hop on the email list.

Had such fun with this group—thank you for showing up so strong! 💪

When I explain Ashiatsu to potential clients, I tell them: ‘It’s just massage using a different tool – my feet.”

If you’ve ever dragged yourself through a day of five or six back-to-back deep tissue sessions, you know the physical toll it takes.

Even with solid body mechanics and years of anatomy training, deep work, it can be brutal on the hands, wrists, and shoulders.

With barefoot massage, I use gravity, leverage, and full-body movement. I can easily perform long fascial holds and provide the deep pressure clients crave, without pain or strain.

When I’m on the table, I’m using .

It’s created by massage therapists, made with good ingredients and allows for great glide.

Sign up for a class and you’ll get to try some!

Did you know I offer barefoot massage mentoring?

Learning comes in layers. We hear, see, and learn something and think we understand it, but then, months or years later, we come across the same information and understand it differently or on a deeper level.

Whether you are a barefoot novice or a seasoned practitioner, my barefoot massage mentoring options can help you refine and enhance your barefoot massage skills, so you have the knowledge and confidence you need to establish a thriving barefoot massage practice.

I can also help you with business tips on how to build a thriving barefoot biz. With 25 years of barefoot experience I know a little bit!

Full class, full effort, and a big learning curve! 😅

This group showed up ready, but barefoot massage was definitely harder to learn than some of them anticipated. It takes strength, body awareness, and a willingness to shift how you think about giving a massage.

Still, I’m always amazed by the courage it takes to step out of your comfort zone and try something completely new. It’s a privilege to teach this work and watch therapists begin to transform their practice in such powerful ways. 💪🦶✨

Feet can’t replace hands in bodywork.

But they can complement them.

Just like hands can’t replace the deep, broad pressure that feet can bring.

They work in harmony to create bodywork that’s more versatile and flexible than just using one or the other.

I’m teaching fundamentals this weekend and I’m excited to welcome 8 new students into the world of barefoot massage.
