I am the founder of Bodywork Lab® and the Lead Educator of the Bodywork Lab® Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Education System.

In Australia, my barefoot massage education stands on four unique foundations:

 

① Certified Training Qualification
I am a nationally accredited trainer with a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment ( TAE40116 ).​

​

② Registered Health Industry Design Patent
I am the holder of an Australian registered design patent (Design No. 202411147) for a wooden support structure specifically developed for barefoot massage training.

​

③ Comprehensive International Credentials
All my barefoot massage techniques were completed through NCBTMB-approved providers in the United States, where I attained practitioner certifications in multiple modalities:

​

· Sarga Bodywork – Certified Practitioner
· Barefoot Masters – Practitioner Certificate
· Barefoot Trainer's Ashiatsu – Practitioner Certificate
  All Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage techniques are covered by my Australian AON professional indemnity insurance.

​

④ 100% Foot-Based Massage Techniques
Every technique taught in my courses is executed entirely with the feet — no hand-based massage techniques are included.
