Want to be a “guinea pig” in one of our Student Clinics during a Center for Barefoot Massage class?

We keep a list of our existing clients who would work well with our students for future classes. You can find our list of instructors and track down their local businesses here.

I started that trend. You’re welcome! Now the strap is integral to the Myofascial Ashiatsu technique taught at the Center for Barefoot Massage.
With our price change on March 17, 2022, we’ve had to do a LOT of work. (Mostly Jeni. Mary-Claire here is trying to help.)
