Our Values in Action
At the Center for Barefoot Massage, we are redefining barefoot massage as a respected, essential part of therapeutic bodywork. Just like hands or elbows, the foot is a powerful tool—capable of delivering precise, effective pressure. Through evidence-based education, we are raising industry standards and challenging outdated perceptions, ensuring barefoot massage is recognized for its depth, skill, and impact.
Our instructors don’t just teach—we actively run our own practices, seeing clients week after week. This keeps our techniques fresh, evolving, and responsive to the realities of clinical practice. We foster a community of lifelong learners, empowering therapists to refine their craft, embrace innovation, and build sustainable careers—while advancing the future of barefoot massage together.
👣 Whether you’re just starting your barefoot journey or you’ve been practicing for years, our mission, vision, goals, and principles are the foundation of every class we teach.
Here’s where we stand:
