Lynn Smet, LMT

Certified Deepfeet Instructor

Livermore, California

  • Hi, I’m Lynn.
    I began my massage journey in Portland, Oregon, graduating from East–West College of the Healing Arts in the fall of 1999. In 2002, I continued my education with a 180-hour Thai Massage teacher training in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I developed a deep appreciation for mindful movement, breath, and efficient body mechanics—principles that still guide my work today.

    In 2005, I discovered Ashiatsu DeepFeet Bar Therapy, a turning point that completely transformed how I deliver deep, effective work while protecting my own body. This modality reshaped my understanding of sustainability in massage and became a cornerstone of my practice.

    I went on to found Zama Massage in Portland, Oregon, specializing in sports massage, injury recovery, and therapeutic relaxation. After selling my business and starting a family, I moved to California to focus on raising my kids. The opportunity to join the DeepFeet family as an instructor came to me in 2017! 

    My mission is to help therapists develop the same level of skill, sensitivity, and confidence with their feet as they have with their hands—while working smarter, not harder. I love blending the principles of traditional Thai massage with modern Ashiatsu techniques to support longevity, precision, and career sustainability.

    I continue to refine my techniques through advanced education and am honored to teach both virtual and in-person DeepFeet courses at the Rooted Wellness & Spa, a wellness collective in Pleasanton, California. I’m passionate about supporting therapists who want to elevate their craft, protect their bodies, and build careers that truly last.

  • I really enjoyed my Deep Feet training with Lynn. Although it was sometimes overwhelming, her expertise truly shone through. She effectively integrated the material, creating a cohesive experience. I highly recommend this training for anyone looking to enhance their career!

  • Lynn has outstanding observation skills and consistently provides clear, specific feedback that helps students improve quickly. She is also excellent at offering effective alternatives based on the therapist’s or client’s limitations, without compromising results. I genuinely enjoyed training with Lynn and received real value from every session. If you’re looking for an experienced instructor in Ashiatsu or Thai Massage, I confidently recommend Lynn.
