Barefoot Thai Massage

Join us for a 2-day class to learn the art of Barefoot Thai Massage!

Use your feet to give a deep Thai massage. Therapists will be either standing with a chair for balance, or sitting in the chair while working on the client who is on a mat on the floor. Imagine if Thai and Ashiatsu had a baby - it would grow up to be this massage!

Class Description: Experience the fusion of Thai massage and Ashiatsu in this unique Barefoot Thai class. Utilizing your feet for deep compression, you'll perform a full-body Thai massage routine on a floor mat, incorporating stretching, movement, pin-and-stretch, and rocking techniques. In traditional Thai, the therapist is often on their knees, but in this class, we will be either standing or seated on a chair. Deep compressions are performed with a soft foot, using your body weight. Effortless pressure!

What's Included:
• Handout of Thai Massage manual (with pictures)
• Access to a YouTube video of all the techniques covered in class
• NCBTMB Certificate of attendance

What to Expect:

Hands-on practice time to perfect each movement and create muscle memory.
Receive each technique yourself to understand the client's experience.
Lots of demonstration and hands-on practice.

Class Benefits:
• The class focuses on standing or seated positions for the therapist (ideal if you have stiff knees!)

I hate massage. Wow - what a way to start a testimonial. I do love giving massages but receiving is an entirely different matter. At least that was true until I took the Table Thai class. I learned a ton despite the napping. I was in such an amazing place as a result of what I learned that I was like a cream puff wafting through the rippling air streams in the class. Okay - so - maybe I wasn't exactly like that but it sure felt like it. Can't wait for the sideline Table Thai class that is coming. One thing I know without question is that I no longer hate massage the way that I thought I did. Thanks Chantelle.

I been to three of Chantelle’s massage classes! I always learn something new every time. She helps me save myself from injuring myself by showing me safe effect moves with little effort. I can’t wait to take the bamboo class! Chantelle has great energy, always so inviting, has a special gift of making everyone feel comfortable, and is a great listener! Thank you Chantelle for allowing me to be a part of your journey to help others!

As a veteran Massage Therapist with many education classes behind me, I highly recommend any of Chantelle's classes. She is a knowledgeable. professional instructor. She is willing to share what she knows to any willing to learn.

Patricia Weller

Excellent class! The instructor explained clearly and did an excellent job of demonstrating techniques. We had plenty of hands on work, and she came around to give guidance as we worked. Best class I have attended in a very long time!
