If you’ve taken a barefoot massage class (or are planning to), you might be wondering: how the heck do I market this? Ashiatsu and FasciAshi don’t always fit into the typical “deep tissue” or “Swedish” boxes that clients are used to checking.
That’s actually a good thing—once you know how to talk about it.
At the Center for Barefoot Massage, we teach more than just technique. We help you understand how to position FasciAshi as a modern, fascia-focused, nervous-system-friendly form of bodywork that gives clients lasting results. But you have to use the right language.
👣 Quick Wins for Ashiatsu Marketing
- Use client-first language—don’t just say “I do Ashiatsu,” explain how it helps.
- Focus on outcomes like long-lasting relief, deep pressure without pain, and nervous system regulation.
- Incorporate educational content about fascia, pain science, and body awareness in your emails or socials.
- Be consistent. A few clear, repeated messages are better than a scattered strategy.
