Our course meets the standards of a true distance experience where students will log into a private secure online platform and follow a detailed course outline guided by a certified deepfeet instructor. Weekly meetings are with your instructor as well as a final exam which is done remotely. Our number one goal is safety for both the therapist and the client. Making sure you have an understanding of proper bar construction, contraindications and body mechanics is key to delivering a safe and productive Ashiatsu treatment.
