Barefoot Sage opened its second location in Bethany Village on February 4, 2005. Foot therapies are offered by licensed massage therapists and can be as simple or elaborate as you desire in a tea house atmosphere. Create your own indulgences from its tempting menu of therapies. You can also spread the joy among friends by having your next party or event at either location.

While seated in comfortable couches or overstuffed chairs your feet soak in warm, scented water and soothing oils, then they are massaged by therapists. This is a treat not to be missed after those long walks or weekend hikes. Even if you don’t hike or go for long walks, your feet deserve to be pampered.

New B.A.M. Fruit and Nut Performance Bar is more than an energy bar. It is real food. The first three ingredients listed on the ingredients might be in your home pantry: almonds, dried apricots, and rolled oats. B.A.M. is an acronym for Balanced Amino Maintenance. It is made from 20 whole foods and spices including nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and whole grain oats. Because B.A.M. is a real food, it has only a three-month shelf life and refrigeration extends the shelf life. At this time B.A.M. is only available by calling 800-772-7873
