Trained with Deepfeet?
Trained with DeepFeet and wondering if you should jump straight into SoleMassage Level Two? This post explains why most DeepFeet-trained therapists choose to take Level One first and how straps, body mechanics, and long-term sustainability shape that decision.
Mariah is a talented massage therapist and an amazing instructor. The attention to each students work is greatly appreciated and really helps to set one up for success. I also appreciated the structure of the class! Highly recommend.
