We do apologize, but we are no longer taking any new clients at this time, however we are accepting new client requests for our client waiting list.
You may apply through our website at or send a private request through our email address @ indigobodymassage@gmail.com
We can provide individual custom referrals to be provided depending on your individual needs as well.
We are taking extra precaution for safety and health measures.
This is including wearing masks and gloves, taking temperatures, breathing tests, leaving shoes at the door, a HEPA Air filter and humidifier to clean and clarify the air, and of course normal sanitization and cleanliness practices as always.
After every single client session there is a change of fresh sheets and pillow cases and normally practiced, but in addition to that practice, the table, bench, aquatic tanks and door handles are sanitized and anything else the therapist or client touches during their session visits. We have also had several deep cleaning and sanitation protocols to ensure the safety, health and well-being of our clients and therapist.
Your health and wellness, as well as our own, is our top priority and we will keep you informed of any changes to come.
During this time, we are keeping the lines of communication open with you via e-mail, phone calls and video chat and we genuinely appreciate all your support and encouragement through our website and on all our social media platforms, so stay tuned and be sure to follow us! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via e-mail, phone call, text or social media if you have any questions or concerns at all. And be safe, healthy, and happy. Wash your hands, and stay home if at all possible!
We have decided to close our home studio and office temporarily,and we will re-open on April 30th and start taking clients from our client waiting list appointments on June 1st. @ 8:30 a.m.
Thank you again for your incredible patience and understanding during this time. We are honored and privileged to be serving you with your advanced massage and orthopedic needs. We are doing our very best at this time and we know that you are as well! Thank you so kindly for your business and for your fierce loyalty.
We are asking that all clients and patients wash their hands upon arrival to our home studio office.
We are also asking that all clients and patients closely monitor their health and PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR MASSAGE APPOINTMENTS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF ANY ILLNESS (Fever, Coughing, Sore Throat, Shortness of Breath) and contact your doctor and get tested by your physician to rule out the possibility of being contracted with COVID-19.
Our 24 hour Cancellation Policy will be waived if you are needing to cancel due to illness.
I would like to share a list of simple things that you can do to reduce or prevent your risk of contracting, or spreading COVID-19:
1. Manage your anxiety - stress destroys immunity. Self acupressure is a personal favorite method for this. One technique that I often teach is deep breathing from the abdominal muscles, or aka "belly breathing." Another effective breathing technique is the "Wim Hoff Method" translated as the "Fire Breath" derived from the Dutch Ice Man himself.
2. Get plenty of rest. Make sure you are sleeping enough and also sleeping "well." Studies whos that people who get adequate sleep have higher immunity. When you have an adequate amount of quality sleep, it allows the body to restore and repair itself and to function better as well as to focus and fight necessary environmental or biological factors.
3. Carry hand sanitizer, and wipe all surfaces that you touch with your hands. I try to keep a bottle on me or in my purse, gym bag and on my key chain as well. It is good to air on the side of caution, especially if you are particularly vulnerable or in a high-risk category for contracting the virus.
4. Wash your hands for at least 20 - 30 seconds (minimum time) with soap and warm water.
Try even singing a catchy song or playing a funny video during washing if you get bored. (Hand sanitizer it alcohol-based and therefore it may not kill the virus if one is exposed)
5. Limit or cease touching your face. This is one of the most common habits we have as humans and it is something that we don't usually even think twice about. And it may be an obvious one of course, but by limiting or eliminating this habit, it can significantly reduce your odds of exposure and contamination. The less surfaces you touch the better, and the less likely it is that you will come into contact with the virus on a surface, including on your face.
6. Increase your vitamin intake. If you are not already taking high doses of Vitamin C, increase your daily intake to 3000 mg or until you start to experience loose stools. Increase vitamin D to 2-3000 per day, take 1000mg zinc, and Vit B3 is also shown to bolster immunity.
7. Eat healthy and conscious, consuming lots of color and exercise regularly. The more movement, the better your circulation, the more effective your immune system will function!
8. Viruses, bacteria and fungus HATE heat! Especially this virus, studies and observation has shown so far that it seems to thrive in the cold and not do so well with heat. Drink lots of warm liquids.
9. Limit attendance and exposure to others in public spaces (ten people or less), especially if you have loved ones with compromised immunity or are elderly. I have an elderly Father and have cancelled all trips to see him and my family until this thing passes. I would never want to put my family, loved ones or friends at risk or expose them, even if unintentionally.
Remember that you do not have to be showing symptoms of the Coronavirus in order to expose and contaminate others that are more vulnerable to the virus. And you could also be asymptomatic and test negative and still have contracted the virus in its early stages. This is possibly one reason that the virus has been so contagious and deadly.
10) Currently and I will be taking only limited clients until further notice for the time being.
*We are not taking any new clients at this time until further notice for safety precautions as well.*
And I ask that each and every client have their temperature taken before their massage session and upon arrival.
And if you have exhibited any symptoms of the virus at all, please notify us and stay home.
No out-call massages will be performed at this time until further notice.
No out of town, out of state or out of country clients are permitted until further notice.
* If you have been exposed at all please do the right thing and cancel your appointments where you can expose other individuals. Practice the CDC recommended physical or social isolation and do not expose others unnecessarily to the virus. This is a global pandemic and it is crucial that we look out for and protect not only ourselves and our families, but also stay safe for the public health. Stay safe and let's get through this together as a community and a family!
Remember that, ... "We are all in this together."
Thank you kindly for your time, interest, patience and understanding.
Please stay safe, remain calm and have a beautiful day! "Happy Healing!" Namaste.
Have a safe, healthy and blessed day. Namaste and God Bless you.
Happy Healing!
Best Regards,

Jessie doesn't just have a mission statement for her practice, she is a life mission.
One that is deep, dark and personal and one that she doesn't plan to give up on..
"My mission and purpose in my practice here Indigo Body Massage & Orthopedics is to "help others to not feel pain" (and be confined to the limitations of their pain) by providing exceptional and unique body work using the vehicles of acupressure, therapeutic and orthopedic massage therapy modalities."
Jessie is an incredibly detail and goal-oriented therapist that is diligent and conscientious in her therapy work. Her goals are focused on the health and well-being of her clients, and to provide individuals with the tools necessary to perform at optimal, high functioning levels. Her goal is to provide a high level of orthopedic and advanced massage therapy to enable her clients and to live a pain-free and healthy lifestyle. She is also constantly in a state of self education and taking classes to learn new and innovative things, and growing as a therapist and as a person to add more value to her clients and patients during their sessions.
Jessie is completely committed and dedicated to providing her clients with detailed and nurturing treatments geared to help them reach their optimum performance levels and their ultimate health goals.
"I am extremely passionate and relentless about the unlimited healing powers of massage therapy its potential to help others realize their own self-healing capabilities and potential."
"My belief is that this is my calling and purpose on earth to help, heal, and empower others with my gift of touch and healing powers. Through my work I serve my higher purpose because I believe that "to heal is to serve".
She has devoted her life and her work massage therapy and orthopedics to that very same philosophy. It is her own personal journey that she uses for growth and what fuels and drives her on a daily basis to become a better therapist and a more improved version as a person.
"I originally found massage therapy when it healed my own body and mind from injuries, accidents and other traumatic experiences over the years which has made me who I am."
"These life shaping occurrences confirmed my purpose of helping others to achieve the same benefits from massage therapy. Practicing massage therapy is my sanctuary and guiding force; It focuses my energy, therefore allowing me to show kindness to others through touch and by taking away their pain."
Jessie is originally from East Texas and moved to Austin five years ago from North Houston. Graduating from Hands On Healing School of Massage in Dallas as well as well as from Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage in Austin, and dedicating her life to the healing art of massage, she found her calling in helping others to heal their bodies, minds and souls from chronic injuries and surgeries, pain, stress, depression, diseases and disorders. Healing is but a journey, and a process, and she is dedicated and committed to helping her clients through each and every step of this on-going process.
In her spare time when she is not working with clients or running her business, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends and her six small dogs. She also enjoys weight training, pilates, running, meditation, and training Japanese jiu jitsu and judo which can also be a powerful healing tool and an "escape" that has also helped her through through challenges and difficulties throughout her life.
She finds that practicing massage and orthopedics is also a therapy and an escape, and that helping others is a very powerful healing tool in and of itself. It offers that same healing and customized therapy as martial arts and combines kinetics and movement with physical touch to aide in healing the body, physically, psychologically, spiritually and emotionally.
One of the aspects Jessie enjoys the enjoy most about massage therapy is also that it is like art. Living, breathing, and moving art.
The body is a blank canvas and it is her honor to be a vessel, to serve and to have the opportunity to help guide the healing process into it. She practices her "art" by holding herself accountable and walking the walk by consistently following a very conscious and healthy lifestyle in her own personal practice. Feel free to check out her Instagram, Twitter and Facebook posts to see that she is certainly open to sharing freely and helping others.
"It is my DEEP passion and desire to spread this knowledge, experience and education of the healing power of massage therapy, orthopedics and acupressure to as many people as possible in my short time here on this planet and to help others reap the full benefits from it."
"What I enjoy the most is seeing my clients benefit enormously from the power of massage and seeing what it really can do for body, mind, spirit and soul. I have seen people healed in ways that are beyond description through the power and gift of touch and I strive to give my clients my best BY serving them humbly and to help in any way that I humanly can."

Professional Draping Policy: (All clients will be professionally draped at all times during their massage!)
Draping is the technique of uncovering only the part of the body that is being worked on during a massage. Draping allows you to be totally nude underneath a sheet or towel and feel safe, warm, and unexposed. It also gives the massage therapist the freedom to massage all parts of the body without being encumbered by clothing.
Using draping, the massage therapist only works on the part of the body that is exposed—your back, one arm or one leg, for instance, while the rest of the body is covered. Your private parts are always concealed. That way, the therapist maintains a professional and ethical practice while avoiding embarrassment to the client or herself.
Some body work is done with the body fully clothed so no drape is used, but when clothing is removed, drapes must be used appropriately. Draping means that all the areas of the body not being treated are completely and securely covered with a blanket, sheet, or towel for the discretion of the client and the therapist.
When putting the drape in place, the therapist may lift each leg slightly to bring the drape securely under the thigh. While the client is disrobed, her legs should never be spread wide apart to secure the drape.
The primary fact to remember is that the drape is there to define the area of the body to be worked on. The therapist’s hands should never go under the drape.
It is the practitioner’s responsibility to use proper draping to ensure that their clients feel secure, without fear of exposure.
The genital regions will always be covered at all times, and the therapist will always respect the professional boundaries and the same is expected in return.
CANCELLATION POLICY & TARDINESS POLICY:
We do require a 24-hour cancellation notification for a scheduled massage session that you cannot keep for any reason.
You will be charged the entire cost of the massage or orthopedic service you had booked if you do not give us 24-hours notice to cancel or reschedule.
We understand that things come and happen, we just ask that you are respectful of our time as we are respectful of yours.
If you arrive late for your appointment, your session will end at the originally scheduled end-time for your appointment,
so the client following you is not penalized.
