Urban Haven is where Cleveland massage therapists level up: hands-on trainings, certifications, and workshops in advanced modalities, taught inside a working studio. Advance your career, raise your rates, and add skills clients ask for by name.
Barefoot massage certification with Erin Whelan, LMT, Certified DeepFeet Instructor. Three full days (9am to 6pm, Tue to Thu) of authentic DeepFeet Bar Therapy training in Cleveland: overhead bars, body mechanics that save your hands, and the deepest modality on any menu.
Five days inside the tradition: Thai massage lines, rhythmic compression, assisted stretching, and the Thai medicine framework behind them. Held at our Cleveland Heights studio. From $1,400, enrollment through Urban Haven.
Second Cleveland cohort of the DeepFeet 1 Basics certification with Erin Whelan. Same three-day format (9am to 6pm, Tue to Thu); enrollment for both dates runs through the same DeepFeet schedule page. Missed August? This is the one.
Advanced bodywork is how massage careers grow. Ashiatsu and Thai massage are premium services that command higher session rates, book out faster, and set your table apart in a crowded market. They are also easier on your body: barefoot work saves your thumbs and wrists, and Thai work trains mechanics that let you practice for decades.
Clients search for these modalities by name. Very few therapists in Northeast Ohio offer them. That gap is the opportunity.
Because this is a working studio, not a classroom with tables. You train on the same floors where these services sell out, with overhead bars installed for daily ashiatsu practice and instructors who work on real clients all week. Cleveland Scene voted this house #1 Best Massage in Cleveland; the standard you train to here is the standard the market already pays for.
Massage students, new LMTs, and twenty-year veterans all train here. Ask us anything, including about hosting your own training at either studio.
Licensed massage therapists and massage students are welcome. The DeepFeet certification is built for practicing LMTs; the Thai foundations course meets students and professionals where they are. Check each enrollment page for prerequisites.
That is the point of them. Ashiatsu and Thai sessions price above standard table massage across the market, including on our own menu, and therapists who offer them stand out to both clients and employers.
DeepFeet 1 Basics (both dates) enrolls through the DeepFeet schedule page. The Thai massage foundations course enrolls through our own booking system.
Yes. Both studios host visiting educators and workshops. Call or text either studio and tell us what you are planning.
Two studios, working therapists, and a calendar of trainings that pays for itself.
