The art of learning effleurage fluidly with the feet can be physically and mentally challenging. A successful learning environment depends on team participation.

If you have any physical ailment or debility that may interfere with you or your classmates’ learning process, please contact us in advance. Our first priority is safety for all students and guest clients participating in our workshops. A private one-on-one class may be available if you require extra time or attention. Each student will give and receive two or more hours of Ashiatsu on the first two days of class. Although Ashiatsu is incredibly relaxing, it is also a deep compressive form of massage that is not appropriate for all conditions.

Students will have 30 days to complete this course and receive full credit. In order to be successful in taking this course we recommend the following:

1. Be physically healthy & fit and free of any recent injuries
2. Have a strong understanding of anatomy, physiology and deep tissue techniques
3. Be able set aside a minimum of 8-10 hours a week for study & practice
4. Receive Ashiatsu sessions during your training from a Certified DeepFeet Graduate
5. Perform 20 practice sessions on various body types

This is not a typical home study massage course that only involves a written manual and video instruction. Our course meets the standards of a true virtual training experience where students will log into a private, secure online platform. They follow a detailed course outline, and are tested on each lesson before they are able to move onto the following module. Most students will spend approximately 3-4 hours on the lecture portion of each class before viewing the Ashiatsu Video Instruction. Our primary 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.

Documented practice sessions are required to complete our virtual online courses and receive full CE credit. What sets our virtual courses apart from others is that our content is delivered in a fashion that is interesting, challenging and most importantly holds students accountable for learning and retaining the content so that you can practice Ashiatsu effectively and successfully beyond your time with us.

If you have multiple therapists you would like trained please email us for more info.
