Cleaning Policies and Procedures
I am committed to the health and safety of my clients and myself.
I thoroughly wipe down the massage table, face cradle, bolster, etc. with 70% alcohol solution wipes.
I always wash my hands before and after services.
I always wear a face mask and require clients and family members in the area to wear masks.
Thank you for helping keep yourself and others healthy!
Pricing
Together we can make bodywork more accessible to those of us who can't afford a lot of self care. Remember to tip if it is something easy for you to do, so that people who find it really difficult to pay for massage at all can pay the base price. Thank you for sharing your blessings with others!! We are all in this together!
Home Office or Outdoor Massage & Bodywork
In order to mitigate risks of Covid19 transmission, I'd like to offer my services outdoors (with masks ALWAYS).
Aside from being safer, I believe that being in Nature is a magical, healing experience. Rendon has created some beautiful privacy screens for the deck.
My home office is now open for treatments! I use an air purifier, always wear a mask, and require clients to wear masks as well.
I can do any service fully clothed. If you wear less coverage workout clothing, I will be able to work with more direct contact. Stretchy, form fitting bottoms will be best for joint mobilizations etc. The level of undress is entirely up to the clients comfort level. I will work with you however you need.
All of the services listed below are detailed descriptions of work we can do together.
Client's Home (or yard) Massage
I am happy to offer all of my services in the convenience and comfort of your own home. Feel free to explore all the descriptions of services below to choose what type of massage and bodywork you're needing.
I am no longer physically able to carry my table to a client's home, so the only way I can offer mobile sessions is if you already have a massage table at your location. You can find portable massage tables online for as low as $70.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Multidimensional Experience
For this type of session, I will need at least a week advanced notice before scheduling your appointment, because of the preparation involved.
I will provide a blend of energy work, guided imagery, stretch, various massage therapy techniques, and acupressure. This will be a holistic experience tailored exactly to your specific needs. Customizing your session to your unique personality is the joy and purpose of my practice.
Please contact me ahead of time, so we can arrange for you to fill out a questionnaire. I need to learn more about the special human that only you are, and your sensory preferences, in order to provide a magical space of exploration just for you. Depending on what your inclinations are, the experience may include scent, sound, color, and unique tactile experiences.
Due to the level of set-up needed to create this experience, I can only offer this service at my location.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, MLD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, & surgery, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and increasing flow of lymph throughout the body.
We can focus on a specific area of the body that needs work, for example, the lower body, upper body, head neck and face, or a surgical/injury site. If you would like a full body session, we will need at least 90 minutes, but 120 minutes will be more thorough and complete. I can include dry brushing in any of the sessions.

Cocooning (stand-alone session, or add-on)
co·coon
/kəˈko͞on/
verb: cocooning
-
envelop or surround in a protective or comforting way.
There are a few ways you can really integrate a session into your body with cocooning. You can choose to be in the hammock, which I can gently rock, if you like. You can be on the table, and I will wrap the sheets around you and put a weighted blanket on top (whatever level of wrappedness is up to you!). You can be on the floor wrapped up and weighted. While you are cocooned, I can do energy work, soft rocking, or just be with you. You can choose to add this on to the end of a massage session, or multidimensional session. You can just sleep if you want to. You can have an entire session of just cocooning. It is always up to you what music or sounds are played.
The minimum amount of time for a stand-alone cocoon session is 30 minutes
Every extra 10 minutes of cocooning is $10.
Body Scrub Add-on
Would you like to experience some scrumptious exfoliation and moisturizing magic after your massage? You can choose to have your feet, hands, or back scrubbed with our hand made whole body scrub. You can also customize your formula with essential oils.
I have both an organic coconut oil based recipe, and an organic hemp & shea based recipe. They both include organic vegetable glycerin, organic aloe vera, vitamin E oil, pink sea salt, and epsom salts.
I choose to use salt instead of sugar in most of my scrubs because I feel the health benefits of salt surpass any benefits of sugar. Salt is a purifier. The oils I combine with it balance the drying effects of the salt.
I see scrubbing as a sort of holy act. I deeply honor the place of washing another humans feet & hands (or back!) .The cleaning up after part is also very precious to me. Some people who do these add-ons at chain massage places seem to be hassled by the mess of it, but to me, that is an important element of the whole process, and I take my time with it.
I invite you to try a scrub, and see how different you feel afterward :)
Couples Massage
I now offer couples bodywork with Rendon Foy Massage! Please contact me for more information. The price listed is for two people :)
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Please note there is additional charge for all services at the client's home. 60 minute = $310, 90 minute = $460.
:) Thank you!
Stretch Therapy
This method of bodywork has become a passion for me. It is a necessary foundation for integrating relaxation and flexibility in order to heal and function well in your everyday movements. I combine breath work and guided meditation throughout the full body stretch session.
Please wear stretchy, comfortable clothing. Form fitting bottoms work best for this treatment.
I recommend first receiving at least 30 minutes of a full body stretch, and then moving on to the massage focus of your choice for a feeling of complete relaxation.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to decrease pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Strict myofascial release is done with little to no lubricant. Soft release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, and a calming path into dreamland.
There is no such thing as "deep" Swedish Massage.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Please note there is additional charge for all services at the client's home. :) Thank you!
Acupressure
Acupressure is based on one of the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these points on your body, while following and guiding the energy flow which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique is effective in treating headaches, backaches, and insomnia.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Please note there is additional charge for all services at the client's home. :) Thank you!
Energy Work
Energy work is based on the thought that everyone has a life force, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. I will help you get in touch with how you feel by facilitating connection between your energetic body, and your physical body. Every energetic experience is unique to each individual.
I will use a combination of soft, slow compressions, near touch body heat, do-in (tapping), and light nerve strokes. Breath work and guided meditation can be incorporated as you wish.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is bodywork designed specifically for pregnant people. In my practice, pregnancy is not considered a disease or a medical condition, but it is a time when a body can feel stressed due to physical and emotional changes. Using gentle techniques specially developed for gestating folks, it can help release pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits include emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.

Infant Massage
Infant massage is beneficial for calming the entire nervous system, and for softening the fascia throughout the little one's body. I work with babies before and after traumatic experiences (any kind of surgery or procedure).
I can go with you and your family to the facility site (if it is allowed per Covid policies etc.) & give your baby bodywork directly before the procedure to help calm their nervous system in preparation for the upcoming disregulation. I can also come to your house after surgery for helping the baby to reenter a calm, co-regulated state of body. There will be an extra fee for travelling or home visits.
As you know, babies decide what is good for them, and the timing that works for them, so a session could look different every time, depending on what your child needs. I will respect their choice, and if they refuse bodywork, I won't try to force it. We could get in a few minutes at a time while I hold them, or continue bodywork while they are in a caregiver's arms. The main thing for me is to be flexible to their needs. I will also be available to teach the grown-ups any techniques they might be interested doing at home on a regular basis.
My general techniques used for infants is a mixture of myofascial release, joint mobilization/holding/stretching, craniosacral, and trager style work.
Trager Approach / Rocking
The Trager Approach is a type of bodywork promoted by Dr. Milton Trager. It is designed to free up the body, release muscle tension, and improve your state of mind and physical well-being. Because this is a very gentle and individualized type of bodywork, it is suitable for a wide range of clients including the disabled and the elderly. The tension and pain released by Trager sessions allows you to move more naturally and effortlessly, improving your overall quality of life. While I am not a strict "Trager" follower, I do love this type of work.
I use a lot of jiggling, shaking, vibration, and rocking in my sessions. I find this to be a technique that can help a person let go when other techniques have failed. I wanted to create an entire session space for folks who would like to experience this style of bodywork without other things mixed in.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
Hot / Cold Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy is a method of bodywork where heated stones are used in place of hands to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress.
Cold Stone Therapy helps to reduce inflammation in the tissue, and can draw out excess heat. Moving between hot and cold can help to reset the balance of your body.
Session Duration is listed for hands on time. We will have an intake and a follow up talk afterward, so please plan for at least 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the session time.
