I recently learned Ashiatsu massage from Tiffany Diaz-Linam with Barefoot Bodyworks. I could not be happier! First off, I live in Salt Lake City Utah. I could have taken Ashiatsu training here, but I have learned that I am rather selective when it comes to who I want to receive training from. When I came across Tiffany Diaz on youtube, I was instantly drawn to her professional approach to teaching. I was equally drawn to Tiffany as its clear she takes fitness and health seriously and practices what she preaches. After contacting Tiffany about Ashiatsu training, she responding to me that day with enthusiasm and professionalism. She also gave me travel tips on where to stay in AR. There is a Holiday Express literally next door to her studio, and the airport is only a 5-minute drive. It made it really efficient to travel there by myself and not need a car. The training was an intensive 2 days, that started on time and we went straight to work immediately. I really enjoy the no-nonsense approach to massage training, and highly value that there were only two other students in the class besides myself. I left the two-day trainings feeling ready to do Ashiatsu on the public. We received a lot of hands on training, or "feet on training" during our class time, which is critical to feeling confident about selling a new massage modality through your business. Ashiatsu is unlike any style of massage, and Tiffany was there the entire time making sure our bodies were in the right place to prevent injury to ourselves or to the client. I also took the advanced Ashiatsu course the following day one on one with Tiffany. It was incredible to be a solo student, and I highly recommend if you take the beginning Ashiatsu course, that you follow up with one more day of advanced to tie it all together. I wanted to get the most out of my time in AR, and Tiffany definitely delivered. If you come down to AR to take Ashiatsu training from Barefootbodyworks, you should prepare to sweat, prepare to work, prepare to learn! Overall, Tiffany is an incredible teacher and leads by example. After I left AR, I felt on cloud nine. It is hard not to feel motivated around Tiffany! Overall, I took the leap to come to AR by myself not knowing Tiffany beforehand. And I can tell you, she is the real deal. I can also tell you, Ashiatsu was the right choice for me as I plan on having a lifelong career in Massage and need to use my body more efficiently, especially when it comes to deep tissue. Massage is really wearing on the joints, and by doing Ashiatsu, you can use your body in a radically different way. I also love receiving Ashiatsu. It feels like smooth, solid and deeper pressure that really gets the job done and keeps you very relaxed while doing so!
