When I first learned Ashi, it was about saving my career. My body. My longevity. Then I started teaching and everything cracked open.
Teaching forced me to slow down and actually understand the work not just do it. I had to name things I've been doing on instinct.
Now when I'm with a client I'm not just thinking about the stroke. I'm thinking about WHY it works, what makes it effective and how I would explain it to someone from scratch.
Teaching has made me a better practitioner, and more thoughtful therapist, and a fierce protective of this work (because bad education can burn someone out before they even get started).
This isn't just a technique. It's a way for therapists to stay in their bodies, protect their careers, and keep doing what they love without burning out.
That's why I teach

The DeepFeet 3 Sports™ curriculum uses barefoot techniques to enhance clients' posture, range of motion, and muscle responsiveness. This practice comprises a set of unique and proprietary foundational and structural methods, which we refer to as the "3 Connects. Involving compression, muscle stripping, and activation.

These three techniques work together to create an effective muscle release method, benefiting clients who experience pain and limited range of motion due to repetitive stress injuries, workout-related soreness, and past traumas or sports injuries resulting in scar tissue formation.

During the application, clients are assisted through multi-positioning to locate the anterior, lateral, medial, and sagittal muscles concerning surrounding structures and landmarks. Upon completing the training, students will gain the confidence and knowledge necessary to perform a 90-120 minute Ashiatsu session that includes posterior, anterior, and side-lying barefoot sports massage techniques.
