2024 went by WAY too fast, and today we are stepping into a new year full of 👣SO👣Many👣Things!👣
(Picture that as FEET clapping, rather than hands!!)
We want to thank everyone who came to The Center and trained with us in 2024, and we also want to thank your clients, family and friends who supported, encouraged and pushed you along the way: we hope they are underfoot getting sessions from you, because the REAL WINNERS are all those who receive an amazing Barefoot Massage.
Here’s a look at what we accomplished together:
81 FasciAshi classes offered across the country
5,954 Continuing Education Hours distributed
10 incredible instructors (plus 2 in training!)
331 LMTs joined us in classrooms across the nation
72% were returning students from previous years
36% of this year's students took a 2nd class within the same year
We spent a total of 1,489 days in class together
We taught in 12 cities across 9 states
We are so grateful for this growing community of dedicated learners who continue to deepen their practices through continued professional development training. This is clearly something you are all doing to better yourself and your work, not just to grab some quick CE hours for renewals.
The world of Barefoot Massage is bigger than ever, and I am very proud, excited and thrilled to see the enormous, big-footed impression that the FasciAshi approach, our suspended support strap, and the general sasquatchy influence that the Center for Barefoot Massage really has on the massage, movement, bodywork and wellness communities.
I hope that everything the Center for Barefoot Massage stands for continues to grow roots and help to hold up the standard of our profession in years to come.
The future of massage is a foot, and we hope to see you in 2025 to train up YOUR foot (and feets) even more.

Update on our new system & website:
I know that I keep saying it’s ~almost~ here, but it really is actually almost here this time: our new registration system and alumni website (all in one!) will launch any day now: stay tuned for more information on the changes and how to navigate the newness!
My goal all along has been to create a place where you can connect with the Center for Barefoot Massage before, during and after your training and have everything you need at your toe tips: registration for classes, videos to study, provider listings to get found.. everything all in one place under 1 single log-in: and it’s almost here!
During this very brief ~less than a week~ transition period, all registrations for classes will be temporarily paused: this is just to help me make sure that no one or their payments slip through the cracks. If you want to sign up for a January class between today and the new system launch early next week, please just send us a message below (or reply to this email if you are reading this in your inbox!) or just wait till next week to sign up if you can. Thank you: we are super excited for this long-awaited release!
