Curious about why barefoot massage is different?
Deep, sustained pressure feels incredible when it's done right. What makes Sarga Barefoot Massage unique is how it blends that depth with slow, gliding traction, using the broad, grounded surface of the foot.

👣 The foot offers the same structural power as an elbow or forearm…

👣 But with Sarga, it’s paired with a special strap for balance and control — allowing your therapist to move slowly, apply consistent pressure, and stretch your tissues as they go.

That means you get the satisfying depth you crave — without the sharp, jabby sensation that can come from knuckles or elbows.

The result?
A grounded, lengthened, and deeply relaxed body.

I have spots available this week, Put your name on one of them.

We create space for rest and return — to your body, your breath, and your wholeness.
We believe in gentle power, in healing that doesn’t push, but listens.
We stand for body autonomy, nervous system care, and deep, sustainable wellness.
We're calling in clients who value restoration as resistance, softness as strength, and who are ready to let go.

Hello I'm Kate, the founder of Relax Theory Massage, where the science of letting go is our study. Glad we are connecting here. Let me introduce myself.

After growing up in this sweet little mountain town, I began practicing massage in Bend in 2008 and opened my private studio in 2011. I believe that healing doesn’t have to hurt — deep relief doesn’t always require deep pressure.

As the person who lives in your body, I trust you to guide the work. My role is to listen, to support, and to tailor your session in a way that promotes true rest and meaningful healing — whatever that looks like for you.

I’m trained in Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, and barefoot bodywork. Each session is crafted from this range of modalities to meet your needs in the moment.

Your time here is yours — a space to exhale, to soften, to restore. I’ll see you on the table soon.

If your neck has beef with your pillow, your shoulders are staging a protest, or your back sounds like popcorn every time you move… it might be time for massage.

At Relax Theory, we specialize in:
Relaxing your overworked muscles
Resetting your nervous system
Fixing the weird crick you got from sleeping funny

You don’t need to wait until you're falling apart—we’ve got a cozy table, good vibes, and two hands ready to help you feel human again.

This new name reflects the heart of what we do: combining the science of the body with the art of letting go. While our name is changing, you can still expect the same warm, personalized care you know and love—just with a fresh new look and a few special updates coming your way soon.

We have some new offerings on the way designed to support your healing and rest, this is just the beginning. I can't wait to welcome you into this next chapter. Stay tuned for more, and thank you for being part of the journey.

With gratitude,
Kate Pentz
