My first class teaching Ashiatsu was so much fun!By Hillary Arrieta This year I joined the teaching crew at the Center for barefoot massage! I've been in a teacher training program since January and I've learned SO MUCH this year. Even though I've already trained for years in this technique, I can see how I've barely scratched the surface. There's so much to know, refine, and refresh. I think that is why I am so drawn to this massage - and massage therapy in general. I've been truly lucky to have such amazing mentors and now students who teach me so much about my work. Yes, I'm the one teaching but it's incredible how much I also learn. September was my final teacher evaluation in the teacher training program and I had it in my brand new teaching studio. It's small but MIGHTY!! I'm so grateful to the students who challenged themselves physically and mentally through this three day workshop to learn or fine tune their skills. Also, I'm so thankful for my teacher, Jeni Spring who flew up here from San Antonio to make me first class a success. I couldn't have done it without her guidance. I'll be teaching a semi-monthly FUNdamentals class for 2018 and I'll be adding some new barefoot massage modalities and workshops to the training schedule in 2019. I've been wanting to bring more barefoot massage to Dallas and to the North Texas area for a long time and it's finally happening. Trainings are open to any licensed massage therapist. Find out more at on our Texas Ashiatsu training website. Enjoy some pictures from the workshop!

Are you traveling to Dallas to take your Barefoot Ashiatsu massage class with Hillary? Consider this your "insiders guide" to the Big D.Training Location 213 Glenbrook Dr. Garland Texas75040 I ask that you don't arrive any earlier than 8:45 AM the mornings of the training, but don't be late! The class starts on time at 9:00 AM each morning and ends at 6:00 PM. We have so much to cover during our time together, so don't be late Accommodations: Choose hotels off PGB tollway (190) for best experience. Holiday Inn Garland TRU by Hilton Garland | Richardson or Airbnb options in zip code 75040 like this place...it’s super close to the studio https://abnb.me/ZxKEK5AA0gb Another option that many have enjoyed is to visit the Korean style saunas in the Dallas area, the King Spa and the Spa Castle. Please note: These are not close to the studio and also not high-end day spas but traditional style bathhouses. If you love trying something new, these are great to experience. They are open 24 hours a day, and some students even stay overnight. Buying a pass (Pro tip: check Groupon!) will give you 24-hour access to the lockers, hydrotherapy tubs, pools, spa/saunas. Check it out! Spa Castle has a hotel on site. Coffee + eats The Downtown Garland square has a great coffee shop and you'll find delicious lunch and dinner options. See the sights Any Dallas fans? Check out South Fork Ranch. It's about East of us in Parker, Texas. The local brewery is a short walk away with live music (many of the places off the Downtown square have live music.) Take the nearby DART rail to Downtown Dallas, Klyde Warren Park, Uptown, Lower Greenville and Deep Ellum for city nightlife. More Questions? Look over our foot notes first!

It is possible to take the DART light rail from a nearby station to a nearby station in Garland but it may take a long time. I'll do a test run and update this blog but for now just keep that in mind.
From Love Field, take the Dallas North Tollway (North) to George Bush Turnpike towards Garland, Exit Lavon Dr. and head four miles in to Glenbrook Dr. Go North and we are two blocks down in the yellow house on the left across from the Garland utilities building.
