Texas Massage CE Renewal Made Simple: Barefoot Massage Training for LMTs

As a Texas massage therapist, I couldn't believe that it's almost time to renew my license for the 22nd year this January. My colleague Bridgette and I were just talking about the CEs we need for renewal, which isn't usually a problem for me, since I've got a long list of CEs I want to take every year. However, keeping up with your CE renewal can feel stressful. Between managing your practice, caring for clients, and balancing life, the last thing you want is a last-minute scramble for CE hours. I've started a new blog series discussing CE requirements for Texas and neighboring states. This way, we can keep up with renewal information, and I can share how I can help you stay current and inspired as an LMT. Read the Arkansas CE requirements post here. 

With barefoot massage CE courses through the Center for Barefoot Massage, you can meet your Texas CE requirements and learn techniques that protect your body while delivering incredible results for clients.

• CE Hours Required: 12 hours

Common Pain Points for Texas LMTsIf you’ve been practicing a while, you know the struggles:

• Deadline creep → forgetting your license anniversary until it’s too late.
• Body burnout → sore thumbs, wrists, and back from years of deep tissue work
• Uninspiring CE courses → taking classes just to “check the box” instead of learning something valuable.
• Insurance worries → making sure your techniques are safe and defensible if ever questioned.

Sound familiar? That’s exactly why our barefoot massage CE trainings were created.

Why Barefoot Massage CE is Different
Instead of grinding down your hands and shortening your career, barefoot massage lets you:

• Deliver deep, effective pressure with your feet.
• Protect your hands, wrists, and back.
• Stand out in your market with a unique skill clients love
• Feel confident knowing you’re practicing a safe, body-saving technique.

We offer three levels of training designed for Texas massage therapists:
✅ FasciAshi Fundamentals: Your introduction to barefoot massage. Learn safe, effective strokes and begin using your feet in practice right away.
✅ FasciAshi Intermediate: Take it further with advanced skills, and even better body mechanics.
✅ Hot Ashi Bring the healing power of heated Ashiatsu tools into your work to soothe a stressed nervous system.
​
Each workshop counts toward your 12 CE hours required by TDLR.

Don’t Wait Until Your Renewal DeadlineYour license anniversary comes faster than you think. Why not check your CE off early and learn a skill that makes your practice sustainable for years to come?

Bonus: Protecting Yourself with Insurance-Friendly CE. Since Texas requires liability insurance, it’s smart to choose CE courses that emphasize:

• Safe body mechanics
• Client protection
• Professional standards

Barefoot massage is TDLR-approved, evidence-based, and designed to support your longevity as a therapist. That’s peace of mind you can’t get from just any CE.

Stay Ahead and Stay Inspired
​Meeting CE requirements shouldn’t feel like a chore. With barefoot massage CE, you’ll:

• Renew your license stress-free
• Expand your skill set with techniques clients adore
• Protect your career for the long run

Over Memorial Day, I held my first Reiki level one class of 2017 in Richardson, Texas and it feels good. We had a great day learning about the reiki principals, the three reiki pillars, and how to give hands on treatments to ourselves and to friends, family, clients. We even talked shortly about reiki for our beloved pets. I feel privileged to know these six ladies and I'm so proud of how quickly they picked up the technique. I'm looking forward to seeing how their practice grows over time.
Level two is just a few weeks away!
A few months ago, I decided that it was finally time to get back to teaching and holding workshops. I've been so in love with massage and bodywork for these past fourteen (!) years. It's so natural to teach and share our passions. And it's always a lot of fun. My next level one class will be in September. I'm taking a little break over the summer because my schedule has gotten so hectic but I think the fall is a perfect time to get back into it and I'll be offering a Master class in December!
