Restorative Foot Massage 1-day Training LEICESTER - Nervous System Reset / Recalibration
Location: 118 Bosworth Street, LEICESTER, LE3 5RD, UK
Training Facilitator: dr. Japjeet Rajbir Kaur
Would you like to learn how to give a restorative foot massage from the Ayurvedic tradition that gives a full nervous system recalibration and reset ? Then join us for this 1-day training after which you will receive certification.
Our feet are one of the most under-appreciated parts of our body. We spend most of our time on them – yet we take shockingly little care of them, force them into ill-fitting shoes, fail to strengthen their muscles, let them sweat in synthetic fabrics, …
Consider these often ill-known facts for a moment: per foot we have 26 bones (some people have 28), 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 intrinsic foot muscles plus 10 muscles that originate outside the foot but cross the ankle joint and act on the foot, plus various tendons! These all work together to hold your entire body structure up, and they allow your feet to move in various ways and carry your body weight – and then any extra weight that we carry/lift! Issues ranging from lower backaches over headaches, a misaligned spine to even indigestion, can all often be traced back to problems with one’s feet.
The average person walks up to about 160,000 km (or 115,000 miles) in their lifetime – enough to walk 4x around the earth. This works out to about 6 ½ km per day. While walking, each step can exert a pressure on our feet that exceeds our body weight. While running it can be 3-4 times our weight – which adds up to a cumulative force of over 500 tons per day. (With certain sports, this force can go up to 7 times one’s bodyweight!)
Standing in one spot is far more exerting still on the feet than walking, as demands are being made on the same few muscles for a length of time.
If the above alone doesn’t yet fully stress the importance of taking care of our feet – and helping others do so too – , then do consider that the feet are also the site of the end- or starting points for half (6) of the organ meridians in the body, as well as an endpoint for many nerves. (There are more sensitive nerve-endings per square centimetre in the foot than in any other part of the body.)
Moreover, your feet provide a map of the entire body, with each area of the feet corresponding to a certain organ, gland or body part (as understood and used in reflexology) – and this allows us to work on every part of someone’s body – and even several very specific conditions – just by working on the feet!
This specific foot massage sequence I’ll be teaching you allows us to:
- Balance and repair the entire nervous system
- Work on the meridian system
- Bring about whole-body balancing
- Target specific areas, organs or glands for healing
- Leave the massage client in a state of absolutely profound relaxation
- Offer deep and lasting rejuvenation.
The truly deep level of relaxation that can be attained with this massage is worth expanding on a little more. Most of my foot massage clients will fall into a deep sleep; snoring isn’t unusual, nor is drooling 😊 – and even during our June-training, one of the participants slept for nearly the full hour of her foot massage (you will get to practice a full massage on each other) while everyone else was still talking around her! One female (heterosexual) friend even asked me to marry her after I gave her a foot massage for the first time. Some of the feedback I have had on my foot massages are: “You could become a millionaire from this if you market yourself right” and “I feel a gazillion times better after this massage.”
The foot massage can be given on a massage couch, on a comfortable chair, or on the floor. I will have a set-up with: 1 massage couch for 1 duo (typically reserved for those with back issues who couldn’t lie / sit on the floor), 1 duo on the floor, and 1 last duo can choose to use the comfortable chair with a stool for the feet (massaging person sitting behind that), or to also practice on the floor (6 trainees is the maximum for this training at mine due to available space).
You will be taught the purpose of this massage and how it relates to some other massage forms; you’ll learn a whole lot about feet; you’ll learn about the nervous & meridian systems, and you’ll learn how the feet form a map of the entire body, and what areas on the feet correspond to what organs/glands/parts of the body. You will be taught the massage techniques that are used & the importance of the relaxation afterwards for integration. You will get to practice in pairs, giving one another the entire 1-hour foot massage while I guide, assist and correct where needed. Once both partners have received the massage we will share experiences and have time for questions. I will also share information about energetically protecting and cleansing yourself and the massage space, how to ground yourself, how to help ground a client when needed, how to take care of your own body while massaging, etc. You’ll take home a 9-page manual, and you’ll be sent more than 2 dozen different reflexology foot charts after you return home as well.
Max. 6 participants.
What to bring for the training day: a yoga mat if you have one, a pillow or cushion, a shawl or blanket, 2 small hand towels, and optionally an eye pillow. Please do not wear any perfume for the training day, as it will cause headaches for myself and could also do so for yourself or the other participants. Wear comfortable clothing.
Further last practical details will be provided in an email to all participants.

“Dearest Japjeet, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you from me and hubby. We both really enjoyed our foot massage training with you. Firstly, thank you for accommodating our circumstances and allowing us to do the training over two sessions. This allowed us to leave our 4-year-old and 8-month-old with my mum for a few hours over two sessions. Getting away from the kids together is nothing short of a miracle. It was great to learn a new skill. I was surprised at how enjoyable it was not to just receive a massage but to also give one! Honestly could not have found a better way to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. Thank you for making it so easy and simple to learn the techniques. The atmosphere was so relaxed (great change from the chaos we live in). I'm really looking forward to giving my mum a foot massage for Mother's Day tomorrow. Once again thank you for your kind words of encouragement throughout the training and for being so accommodating. Much love. V&B. X” (B.K, March 2026, private training)

“Hey Japjeet. I just wanted to say I've done my first restorative foot massage and it went down soooo well! I love learning from you, you are a great teacher and if you really truly are up for doing a training in the [full-body] restorative massage, I will 100% be there 😁💜💜💜 The lucky recipient was hubby and he was soooo pleased with it. Said it actually felt restorative which is fab.” (P.F., June 2025)
