We appreciate the interest in experiencing our lineage of Barefoot Massage, but our classroom structure is a bit different than a typical massage school.
We do not offer public student clinics or volunteer slots. Because Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage is a high-pressure, advanced modality, we believe a student’s first sessions should be performed on ‘pro-bodies’—people who are already regular clients of our instructors and intimately familiar with the work. This ensures two things:
- Safety: Our practice clients know exactly what the work should feel like and can provide the nuanced, expert feedback a student needs.
- Education: The classroom is 100% focused on the student’s learning, not on providing a service to the public or educating them on how to receve the work, what to expect, how to recover, etc.
Want to try Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage the right way? We strongly believe your first experience should be with someone who has already mastered the craft. You can find a safe, fluent, and highly-trained therapist near you through our Sole Provider Directory here. They’ll give you the high-quality Myofascial Ashiatsu experience you’re looking for!

Other way this question gets asked:
Do you need guinea pigs for the students to practice on?
Can I schedule a student massage?
Can you practice on me?
