Barefoot Massage

The Center for Barefoot Massage, located at the Barefoot Movement Headquarters in Downtown Oakland is becoming a hub for floor-based, clothes-on styles of therapeutic massage and bodywork.

Founded in 2011 by Leah Gillman and Rachel Davidman, the Center for Barefoot Massage supports a practice-based learning approach, where “feet-on” practice sessions, hosted by an experienced practitioner or teacher, are an integral part of the program. Both local, national and international instructors are bringing their expertise to this one common floor in Downtown Oakland.

The Center for Barefoot Massage is designed to be a landing pad for teachers, practitioners & students who choose to work in a way that improves their own health, strength and sensitivity while working with clients to facilitate the same.

We are a community of folks who are dedicated to, and appreciate forever increasing our sense of physicality, health and well-being.
