Frequently Asked Questions
How does Barefoot Massage turn my vacation home into a spa?
We bring massage tables, sheets, oils and a small speaker system to provide relaxing music.
What do I need to prepare?
We need a 10' x 5' area in which to work. Media rooms, master suites and bunkrooms are ideal. Even a common area like the den or living room can be suitable; however please consider foot traffic and noise level when choosing this option. Also please choose a space where we will set up for the entire time of our visit as our schedule does not allow for extra break down and set up time between massages.
Can I receive my massage on the beach?
Due to zoning restrictions, we are not allowed to massage on the beach. Weather permitting a covered deck in a quiet area is also suitable. Consider the noise level around your house carefully before choosing this option.
Do I have to know what type of massage I want to make a reservation?
No with the exception of Hot Stone Massage, you can decide the day your massage is rendered which type you prefer remember there are differences in prices you may want to reference our services page for details. When making a reservation you are reserving the therapist’s time so therefore you must decide on the number of clients and each client must decide on the length of time they wish to reserve. Hot Stone is the only type of service you must confirm in advance due to the additional equipment that must be transported.

No, however you are required to give a credit card to hold your reservation and will be used to cover the $25 cancellation fee if 24 hours notice is not given. Please see our whole cancellation policy for more details.

What are the benefits of massage?
The power of bodywork can’t be denied. Massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen. Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:
* Decreased anxiety.
* Enhanced sleep quality.
* Greater energy.
* Improved concentration.
* Increased circulation.
* Reduced fatigue.
I’ve never had a massage before which service would you suggest?
Swedish is a wonderful massage for beginners. It is flowing very relaxing and your therapist can use light to firm pressure depending on your tension level and personal preference.
Will I need to undress for a massage?
You may disrobe to your comfort level. For those clients who are not comfortable with any level of disrobing Reflexology is a wonderful option.
