Certified Deepfeet Instructor

Becoming a Certified Deepfeet Bar Therapist has truly transformed my career into a passionate journey. After 15 years in social work, I sought a new path and found it in massage school in 2015. Receiving my license in 2016 was just the beginning. Eager to carve my niche, I enrolled in an Ashiatsu Deepfeet Bar Therapy Training and it became my calling.
Ashiatsu stands out for its uniqueness and allows me to work comfortably. I can seamlessly integrate it with other techniques. True freedom lies in loving what you do, and when I’m on the massage table, I am in my element.
As the first practitioner of Ashiatsu Deepfeet Bar Therapy in Madison, my freelance practice, Barefoot Hands Bodywork, has grown through positive client feedback and inquiries from fellow therapists eager to enhance their careers. I’m driven to share my passion for Ashiatsu through education and mentorship.
My clients appreciate my caring nature, sense of humor, and ability to create a nurturing healing experience. I look forward to welcoming you into this supportive environment and training you in the deepest most luxurious massage on the earth!
