Deepfeet 1 Basics®
A three day course from 9 AM - 6 PM daily. Therapists will learn 1 footed posterior and anterior strokes. Each therapist taking the class must feel comfortable standing on a massage table. Weight of the student is not as important as grace and flexibility while performing DeepFeet Bar Therapy. You will receive 25 credit hours, which you can apply to your NCBTMB certification, AMTA or ABMP renewal.
Deepfeet 2 Advanced®
This dynamic advance course level is best suited for the barefoot basics graduate who has had time to acquire some clinical experience. For those who feel they are ready to learn advanced concepts using two feet to spread and elongate chronic shortened muscle tissue, this class is for you. In addition to learning 2 footed techniques, students will also learn modifications and transitional strokes which can be incorporated into any Ashiatsu treatment. This course level is truly the essence of our advanced training program.
Deepfeet Ashi-Thai®
Ashi-Thai is an expression of traditional Thai stretches that have been modified utilizing the overhead bar system and therapists’ body so no heavy lifting or bending occurs at the waist. This flowing and rhythmic approach to Thai massage were developed for Ashiatsu therapists seeking to expand their barefoot knowledge and add more strokes to their Ashiatsu tool bag. Ashi-Thai can easily be incorporated into a regular Ashiatsu session or can also be considered as a stand-alone treatment.
Deepfeet Sarga Silks®
Deepfeet Sarga Silks is a 2-day course that teaches students how to properly install and utilize the Sarga floor system. Techniques taught are western focused and combine a variety of DeepFeet ashiatsu strokes to deliver an effective and therapeutic barefoot massage floor treatment. DeepFeet Sarga Silks is ideal for mobile therapists, therapists that cannot install overhead bars or anyone seeking NEW barefoot methods to enhance your practice.

Kate Freese // LMT, Associate Instructor
After taking the class as an LMT in private practice who was looking for "something more", I am happy to report that 5 years later...I have a thriving practice based around Ashiatsu that is booked solid every day with clients. It is a "game changing" modality and it saved my career, not only because of the attention to proper body mechanics but also because it's just fun! I'm super excited that team barefoot needed a location in this region to help facilitate learning this amazing barefoot technique. Our classroom is comfortably nestled in rural Chester County, Pennsylvania. Just a quick car or train ride from Wilmington, Philadelphia and surrounding cities.
