Over 20 years ago, when I graduated from cosmetology school, I asked one of my mentors what advice…read moreshe would give someone just starting out. Without hesitation she said, "Get a massage every month." I've followed that advice ever since, and I've been a member here for the past 15 years. As a hairstylist, my body is my livelihood. Standing for long hours and working with my arms all day takes a toll, and I truly believe these massage therapists have helped me continue doing the career I love. Their skill, professionalism, and genuine care have kept me feeling my best so I can continue showing up for my clients. I'm incredibly grateful for this team and everything they do. Investing in regular massage has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, and this place has been an essential part of my wellness journey. Thank you for helping me continue doing what I love every single day!

Dr. Bailey is brilliant and so much more than just a chiropractor. She has specialized training in…read moreapplied kinesiology (also called muscle testing) and even some modalities to help release stored emotions or trauma from the body. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and dietary allergies as well. She has been tremendously helpful in my health journey both physically and mentally. As a bodyworker and holistic health advocate, I have referred friends, family and special needs clients to her because she is professional, kind and effective. I will continue to send loved ones to her and am thankful to have her as a resource for myself!

I was a skeptic. I remember the days of being "man handled",…read morecracked, popped, and prodded back in the 90s by traditional chiropractors and thought "this isn't for me". Years go by and I am thrown by horse and land on my hip and hand and twist and tore my lower back. I can't begin to describe how much my back hurt!! X-rays showed nothing was broken but I was still in horrific pain! What was I going to do?!?! Then a friend of mine suggested I meet Dr. Bailey. They had met her years ago at an event for women in Agriculture and she had helped my friend with various neck, back, and shoulder pain over the years. My friend said that Dr. B was different than what I had experienced before... (I thought "okkkkk" lol) I was in horrible pain and had nothing left to lose, so I text Dr. B and scheduled an appointment. Dr. Bailey was so kind and so gentle!! There were no moments of being scared or being jerked on. In fact, it was quite relaxing. The pain and my anxiety had both faded by the time she was done working on me. I actually felt better! Best part, she didn't try to sell me a huge session package for $X thousands of dollars like the last guy. She just helped me and made me feel like I have a choice and a say in my healthcare plan! Dr. Bailey gave me my life back after back pain had threatened to take it away. Make your appointment today. Thanks, Dr. B!

Businesses do not create brands; brands are defined by people and the unique combination of…read moreservices/products. Dr. Mari Galle creates every brand through her deep experience, education, and, most importantly, kindness. This review is for every place she has worked at, lifted up, and created (Dr. Mari Galle Acupuncture, Cancer Rehab, and Integrative Medicine, to The Desert Canary). ---- Pros: - She's a damn good human being - Decade+ of experience + education - Parking is easy - Calming Space; tranquil - Offers acupuncture, cupping, and more - Membership tiers available Side Notes: - Book early; She fills up quickly - Very different than a "spa" treatment - Hours vary (check hours and reach out) - Come early as she's back-to-back What I Got (This Time): - Cupping - Guasha ---- Design/Space: I went to the Cancer Rehab and Integration offices but peered into The Desert Canary's offices (located at the exact location, but upstairs). Both are spacious with a tranquil design (both in the rooms and the music playing). The Desert Canary is gorgeous, and the images I'll post below are of the main areas, as I didn't want to take pics of where potential clients were being treated. Services: I've had acupuncture before, and what I love about Dr. Mari Galle is that she's studied Eastern medicine for an incredibly long time, received her doctorate in it, and approaches clients as human beings, not numbers, where she simply tries to sell services and products. I've been to other spas and service providers, and it felt that they didn't understand my unique journey with what was and is going on with my body. They went in and did XYZ service, and I was done. Dr. Galle listened and, like a skilled practitioner, went in and started to target not only what was the issue but the underlying root cause of what was going on before the pain in my mid-lower back started. After my mother passed away this year, I knew I was storing a ton of inflammation all over my body, especially my back. She did her magic, explained what she saw, and ended with Guasha. Listen to what they have to say about post-care, too. I could literally feel my body removing toxins the next day, so it's essential to eat clean, drink plenty of water, and do the things they say not to do (drink alcohol, go do a cold plunge, etc.). Staff: As mentioned, Dr. Galle is incredible. I don't consider her a worker or staff member; she's a person I call a friend, and I trust her deeply. She's been there for our late mom and our family and has been a part of our healing journey for years. The culture and vision of what they do, from Dr. Mari Galle Acupuncture, Cancer Rehab, and Integrative Medicine to The Desert Canary, proves that people care more about you than treating you like a number. Opportunities To Improve: Give me BOGO free deals, hahaha. Honestly, you pay for what you get; trust me, you get what you pay for here. It's therapy backed by science, experience, and education. Also, duplicate Dr. Galle so I can get bookings on demand with her, and everyone else in Austin can get the help they need! ---- Summary: All of the businesses listed are places where I advocate for anyone who wants to stay proactive with their bodies to go at least once. Even if you are reactive, go here if you need help now. They say that when you are in your 20s, your body gives you credit to pay the bill later; when you hit your 40s, your body sends you the bill. It's no longer a warning; it's the consequence of how we pay for what we do to our bodies. Places like these are what our bodies need before it gets worse. Trust me, your body and mind will thank you (ask for Dr. Mari Galle!).

She treats any kind of Lymphedema, no matter what the cause is. She is incredibly knowledgeable and super passionate to make you feel better. Angela has a huge heart and a really sweet personality.

Suffering with back pain during Covid for weeks and the months was brutal. After dealing with it at…read morehome, I finally needed a diagnosis. I set an online appointment and confirmed all the burning, radiating pain in my back, neck and arm was due to my spine needing adjustment along with my neck and my hip was out of joint. After the first treatment, I felt better within a few days. Had a chiro massage a week later and am starting to feel more flexibility in movement. They are taking temps at the door, you are required to wear a mask in the waiting room and in your appt. You can remove your mask when you're face down in the chair, but face up do keep it on. This does make me feel safer and the employees do the same. Overall if you need treatment and are looking for a place with Covid precautions in place, look no further.

If I could leave no stars I would. I was/am in pain and was referred to Pflugerville Wellness…read moreCenter (PWC) for care by the VA. I was super excited to get. quick referral from the VA and reached out to PWC directly as instructed by the VA. The person I spoke to (Dr. Peng I assume) told me that he has a person that processes VA appointments once a week and I'd have to wait until next week to be processed and subsequently called to make appointments. I couldn't believe that was the response. That is NOT what the VA thought they were getting when I was referred. A day or two later I got documentation in the mail from the VA to contact them directly. I called back and was given the same line. "We have one person, that works one day a week, to process VA referrals and you'd have to wait". So much for caring for patients in need or veterans. I explained that that was unacceptable and I'll be reporting PWC to the VA to let them know they were happy to take the VA's referral money...but in no rush to actually see veterans. When I called the VA to tell them what happened and report them, I was told the PWC had "declined me service". Um what?! I was NEVER "served". I lodged my formal complaint to the VA anyway and while I was on the phone with them, I was referred to another massage therapist in the area...whon not only took my referral but saw me THE FOLLOWING DAY! And the company and massage therapist have been AMAZING to work with. I review LOTS of businesses and try to support as many small business in my area as possible but I'll NEVER recommend anyone to this place. Ever.

He got my neck back in…read moreshape in short order and was kind, conveniently located, and was open early (wonderfully convenient for me, as I commute to Austin for work). Later, my low back gave out while reading a book (how on earth does that happen? Seriously though). It was so bad I could hardly walk. I went to my primary doctor, who referred me to a specialist, who took x-rays and gave me some steroids. That helped for about two weeks - after which the pain came back, just as bad as ever. The situation quickly became unbearable, so I went to Dr. Carlson, who treated me with spinal decompression therapy along with traditional chiropractic care. Within two months, I went from taking 5 minutes to get out of my car because the pain was so bad to running on the trail again. Haven't had trouble since. His office staff are friendly, the appointments quick, and the prices more than reasonable. He's a great guy, to boot. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else.
