Ahh…shiatsu® Bar Therapy massage is a trademarked form of Ashiatsu Bar Therapy. We base this barefoot wonder on an ancient Ayurvedic practice of Chavutti Thirummal. In addition, our training classes and seminars combine Swedish, Myofascial, and compression techniques. The massage therapist applies their feet to the body of the client. Thereby, giving the hands and thumbs a rest.
Ashiatsu is an art, where the feet glide over the contours of the client’s body. The pressure can be as light as a Swedish massage or the deepest massage a therapist can give. We change and adjust our course program to fit your needs. The workshop focuses on the hands-on technique of Ashiatsu. Also, we do not claim that we own massage or invented it. Likewise, massage therapists are creative, intelligent, independent free-spirited thinkers. So we want to keep it that way. The Barefoot Masters® is the largest barefoot massage provider in the country.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM STAND OUT?
The overhead or floor Barefoot Bars are for balance and support. You do not have to have a lot of upper body strength to perform Ashiatsu. Furthermore, there are no height or weight restrictions. The massage table must sustain both the weight of the client and the therapist. Ashiatsu treatments are a more efficient application of deep tissue massage.
The pressure is constant and maintained. Barefoot massage creates circulation. More circulation brings about faster healing. Ashiatsu brings about a relaxed state. In fact, this state of well-being lasts for hours after a massage service. Clients don’t walk out of a session – they float.

NO HEIGHT OR WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS

THIS THERAPY IS A MORE BALANCED APPROACH TO MASSAGE
The first deep tissue of the day is as good as the last one. There is none of the usual pain associated with deep tissue massage for therapist or client. The therapist gains strength, knowledge, and grace. While at the same time adding diversity and vitality to their workday. So you can do more of what you love, forever.

VIDEO: We view the video during the workshop as part of the course plan. We use most of the class training to hands-on application of Ashiatsu technique.
LECTURE TIME: This time use is for discussing marketing and contraindications.
The final part of the seminar is spent putting the routine together, so it flows. The trainee will perform a 20-minute practical on the instructor. We use this time to fine tune the movements, pressure, and placement of the application. The primary goal of the course is to ensure the success of every therapist in the class.

Air Beautiful Travel Massage Specialist Training. Part I: Travel Prep and Recovery Massages
2018-04-23 05:30 - 21:30 (America/Denver) | Hoboken, NJ Cortiva, 2 Hudson Place, Hoboken, NJ, 07030
ondays; 4/23/2018, 4/30/2018 and 4/30/2018 from 5:30-9:30pm. 12 CEUs.
The travel industry is a power house of the US economy. Direct spending by travelers in the U.S. averaged $2.7 billion per day in 2016. (U.S. residents logged 1.7 billion trips for leisure purposes and 457 million trips for business purposes in 2016).
The travel industry is a profitable and competitive market for licensed massage therapists,
because every traveler more or less suffers from travel-related issues and looks for
quick remedies.
As licensed massage therapists, you can take the initiative to better understand travel related health issues and to help your clients travel well and live well. Therapists with a clear understanding of travel-related massage will be highly desirable at service oriented establishments, such as luxury hotel spas, where therapists are required to foresee and satisfy the demanding needs of frequent world travelers.
Traveling is human nature, and the current population in the United States alone totals
about 323.1 million people. We can logically deduce that travel-related issues belong to
every one of us in the U.S., and therefore travel massage specialists are in demand in
every corner of our society. This program is the fruit of Snow Shimazu’s life journey and the crystallization of who she is, and she looks forward to sharing this training to
help others like you become a travel massage specialist and capitalize on this profitable market.
Snow Shimazu (MA, LMT, CLT, ARCB, RYT) crafted an innovative travel massage program that was born naturally out of her own need to prevent and recover from the damage caused by her frequent traveling. When she realized that the majority of her clients suffered from the same agonies brought on by frequent travel, she formulated a specialized program that combines her years of diverse and multi-disciplinary experiences and training in massage, manual therapy, yoga, meditation, traveling and luxury service to help people prevent and recover from the damage caused by traveling.
Snow has experienced luxurious hospitality as a guest, a therapist, and a consultant, and she now brings this innovative travel massage program to Cortiva Massage School to educate and train her fellow LMTs and health and wellness professionals.
Full Certification as an Air Beautiful Travel Massage Specialist requires completion of two certified classes:
Part I- Travel Prep and Recovery Massage
Part II- Jet Lag Adjuster Massages and Beyond
In the Part 1, the training will allow the participants:
• To understand the physiology of traveling, especially what happens to our bodies in the air cabin, and during other types of traveling.
• To analyze the imbalances that travel may cause from a variety of Western and Eastern perspectives, and to generate reasonable and effective treatment plans.
• To learn two types of Travel Recovery Massage protocols and one type of Travel Prep Massage protocol with utilizing the ideas and techniques of Swedish Massage, Shiatsu, Ayurveda, Aromatherapy, and more.

8 Hands-On CEU Credits / NCBTMB Approved Provider #451668-11
Course Description: Many of the substances that enter a woman’s bloodstream find their way through the placenta and into the bloodstream of the fetus. When a pregnant woman takes a medication or drug without the supervision of her physician or obstetrician-such as over-the-counter, illicit or “social” drug-her baby can be born prematurely, have a low birth weight and birth defects, suffer withdrawal symptoms and/or can struggle with learning or behavioral problems.
This seminar presents documented information about prenatal drug exposure and provides a group of activities and discussions to educate participants about the impact of maternal drug use on the developing fetus, and how infant massage and therapeutic touch can help.
Students practice with a Drug-Affected Baby, a simulator baby-doll. The doll emits the disturbing cries of a real drug-affected infant and vibrates with tremors that replicate the” shakes” that babies suffer when they are born drug-affected and are experiencing withdrawal.
Student Requirements: Students need a doll, two preferably. One the size of a full term 8-10 month old baby and also another doll the size of a preemie. You may bring a mat, blanket, back jack chair or whatever needed for comfortable sitting on the floor. Pen and water bottle.
