Welcome to ``FasciAshi``
Learn Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage

Barefoot Massage is an overall term for when the FEET are used as tools to offer professional massage therapy techniques. There are many different styles, lineages and approaches that live under the 'Barefoot Massage' umbrella : Myofascial Ashiatsu, which we nicknamed "FasciAshi," is ours.

We train massage therapists in the art and science of using their feet, bodyweight, varying angles of pressure and gravity to deliver deep, myofascial results. We provide the tools to build your confidence as a true Barefoot Massage Specialist. Our approach teaches you to work with the client's nervous system, delivering a broad, deep, comfortable pressure that safely overrides chronic tension and resolves your clients persistent pain.

Our Vision
Normalize Barefoot Massage in your Community

We want "Barefoot Massage" to be a bigger, more respected part of the conversation when it comes to therapeutic massage. We see the foot as another "tool" to massage with, something that is just as capable and beneficial as the typical hand, elbow, or any 'normal' appendage that is used in traditional massage service. As we educate massage professionals on when/how/why to best utilize Myofascial Ashiatsu Massage and Barefoot Matwork techniques, The Center for Barefoot Massage is working to raise the standard on the quality and perception of this specialized style of work. It’s our goal to grow the awareness and understanding of barefoot massage within the massage industry and in the public eye. Our objective is to instill a culture of creativity and excellence within our alumni network.

FasciAshi Fundamentals

Barefoot Matwork

Save your Hands
for other things

One of the biggest draws for Massage Therapists to the world of Barefoot Massage is how easily we can give deep pressure without adding more repetitive strain to our thumbs, wrists and upper limbs in general.

The Ashi-Strap was innovated by our company owner, Jeni Spring, LMT, BCSI in 2003, and it's evolution and integration into FasciAshi's work is a complete game changer for Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage practitioners! No more death gripping the bars or lifting your weight up by pure brute arm strength and endurance: we lean into, sit on, and sling our libs over the strap to not only redirect gravity on varying angles, but also to lift, disperse and control our pressure and speed.

Is there a payment plan for barefoot massage training?

Yes! If you don’t want to pay in full upfront, we offer two ways to make your tuition more manageable:

1. Our Standard “50/50” Plan

When you register for any class, we only require a 50% deposit (retainer) to secure your spot.

  • The First Half: Paid at the time of registration.
  • The Second Half: Automatically drafted from your card on file 2 days before your class begins.
  • The earlier you sign up, the more time you have to save for that final balance!
2. Extended Financing via PayPal

If you prefer a longer timeline (such as “Pay in 4” or monthly installments), you can choose to Pay in Full at checkout using PayPal. Depending on your PayPal account eligibility, they may offer extended financing options that allow you to spread the cost over several months.

I’m already ashiatsu trained – where do I start?

At the Center for Barefoot Massage, everyone begins with FasciAshi Fundamentals if you want to attend any of our Myofascial Ashiatsu classes.

No matter where you trained before.
No matter how long you’ve been practicing.

This is intentional — and essential.

Anyone can start with, or circle back around to our Barefoot Matwork class at any time – as this matwork class does not serve as a prerequisite for entry into any other class we offer currently.
