Hanni Petersen, LMT

Certified Deepfeet Instructor

Purcellville, Virginia

  • With a deep passion for Ashiatsu and a commitment to teaching, I have found my true calling as an instructor with Deepfeet Bar Therapy. Since 2004, I've been practicing massage therapy and know firsthand the struggles many of you may face in extending your career. After experiencing burnout from countless deep tissue sessions, I discovered Ashiatsu—a refreshing approach that revitalized my passion, safeguarded my physical health, and allowed me to provide my clients with the deep pressure they desire.

    For the past few years, I have had the privilege of teaching this transformative modality to therapists from all over the globe in San Diego, CA. In 2017, I returned to the East Coast to launch our first training location in my beloved hometown of Washington, DC! I invite you to join me in our nation's capital and embark on an incredible journey that will elevate your massage career and introduce you to this exhilarating technique!

  • Hanni is an exceptional instructor. She can remarkably communicate complex techniques with clarity and precision while fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. Even after our training, Hanni continues to provide outstanding guidance and support. Her dedication to her students is commendable, and her thorough understanding of Ashiatsu has proven invaluable in my practice!
