Let’s face it: switching from hands-on massage to foot-delivered work can feel awkward, uncertain, or even intimidating at first. But that’s normal—and you’re not alone. At the Center for Barefoot Massage, we’ve trained thousands of LMTs to work smarter, not harder, by using their feet with clarity, skill, and care. Whether you’re new to FasciAshi or just refining your mechanics,…
If you’re a Licensed Massage Therapist searching for sustainable deep tissue techniques, there’s a good chance your hands are tired… or your body is starting to talk back. That’s where barefoot massage comes in. It’s more than a trend—it’s a research-informed, body-saving approach to deep myofascial work that’s helping therapists across the country extend their careers and get better results…
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.

Pets?
Although I’m currently pet-less, I had many pets growing up! I had 2 cocker spaniels (Sam & Sadie), 1 black lab (Scotty), 2 cats (Oscar & Misty), 4 finches (Minnie, Mickey, Daisy, & Donald) [My family loved Disney!], and a hamster my brother named Muffin.

Tell us about your family too.
I grew up in a small railroad town in northeast Indiana. Though my family was small (just my brother and me), we had lots of cousins which made it seem like our family was huge! Most of my family still lives in my small town with the exception of my brother, who lives in Colorado, and myself.
What did you want to be when you grew up and why?
Fun fact: Colorado Springs was recently named the best city to live in for the 2nd year in a row (US News & World Report). Visit Helen Hunt Falls, the Manitou Incline in Manitou Springs, paddleboard in the Springs, or get a massage from one of Erin’s gifted therapists. And now, meet Erin!

Married to Justin for 6 years and I’m mama to Norah Luna. She’s 2. I’m a completely obsessed mama so be fair warned that if you follow my personal social media its just Norah. They keep my life full of light and fun.

What did you want to be when you grew up and why?
In elementary school, I wanted to be a teacher. I totally forgot about that until thinking about this question. Guess that came true <3
Where do you teach?
I teach in Colorado Springs Colorado at my business Camino Massage Therapy.

What’s cool about your city (or fun things to do)?
