A portable foot soak setup with basins, warm water, salts, scrubs and oils, brought to clients at bridal showers, office wellness days, senior living communities and local events.

Your first three steps

Buy a few portable basins, disposable liners and a sanitizing routine, then test your setup with friends
Pitch three local venues, such as a bridal shop, a coworking space and a senior center, and offer a trial session

Who pays

Party hosts, HR and office managers, event organizers, senior living activity coordinators and individuals who book at home.

How it makes money

Per-person price for each soak, or a flat package rate for groups and events, with add-ons like extra scrub or a short foot massage where your license allows.
