Where is the Best Massage in Austin, Texas?
As a professional writer on medical issues, I’m skeptical about health claims not only by non-traditional medicine, but hospitals and MDs as well. I want quantifiable results before I believe anything. Merri Isom made no claims when I first became a client of her massage therapy practice. She just dealt with the immediate aches that my accelerated exercise program had caused.However, I found that Merri is much more than a massage therapist. Each session, we talked about my particular health issues and she slowly began offering ideas for dealing with them. Non-massage ideas. Something I had never expected when I first walked in.So, bottom line, here are my results. Not long ago, I suffered my first attack of gout, a painful joint inflammation caused by a build-up of uric acid in the blood. Merry didn’t just suggest I drink more water; she handed me a water bottle every time I arrived. Result: In two weeks, my gout-sensitive feet hurt far less and I was able to discontinue prescripti
I got word of this place by the Groupon of the day. I had my best friend in town from FL, so we wanted to pamper ourselves. I called about 2 weeks in advance for a Jan. 2nd appointment. I had no problems and the person was very pleasant at the Lamar location. She mentioned we would receive a call to confirm our appointments. I didn’t get one and figured due to New Year’s Day, it might have been missed. I called before our scheduled time on Jan. 2nd to find out she booked it for Feb. 2nd. I was very distraught and unhappy about this mistake. The lady on the phone was very polite and did what she could to save the situation by trying to rebook. The times were inconvenient for the next day. We figured out a time to reschedule but I had to bring up if there’s anything she could do since we were so inconvenienced. She finally gave us some free add on and $10 off. We ended having to go to this location vs the Lamar. In the end, we were satisfied. I had one of the best massages by David a
I had bought a gift certificate for a friend visiting me in Austin–and she was amazingly impressed with Halina’s Spa (it is hard to please her being the “citytype” and her used to the upscale spas the Northeast has). She said that even though it was not overwhelming huge or overly flashy as some spas are today, the environment was perfectly elegant in its own way. What she really ranted on about was the facial (very detailed and not painful as what she is used to) and the massage (she was astonished with how experienced the young lady was–very talented with getting the knots out). She’s coming back into town once I deliver my baby–and I (and obviously her) look very forward to a day relaxing at Halina’s!
I am a yoga teacher and I need a massage every couple of weeks. I was looking for someone that I could hand myself to and “let go”. When I arrived at Zen Blend, I was impressed with the energy inside. I could feel myself beginning to relax and feel good already. I was there with two other friends and we where scheduled to float, get a massage and hang out in the Zen garden. I started off with the Zen garden, I drank some wonderful mint tea and dark chocolate. I lounge in the hammock and watched the birds and the clear blue sky. I am really glad I got to do my own thing before the massage and float. It gave me some time with myself and I was so relaxed, which aloud me to fully embrace my experience with a clear mind. Then it was my turn to have a hot stone massage. Yummy, that was one of the best massages I have ever received. Kristi has a sweet, powerful and loving nature. I truly felt the love she has for giving to others. After my massage, I was off to float. I was not s
