So I booked and waited. Got a message if we could push it back 30 minutes but couldn't since I had to be out my Airbnb at 11 and booked 1.5 hour massage. Was able to still keep appointment which I very much appreciated. Massage was ok. Felt like it was maybe too early maybe and just didn't get what I had expected honestly. Booked a deep tissue and it was maybe a Swedish in pressure. It was pricey, but then again it's Austin and I'm used to Houston prices lol. I would have given a 3* but I appreciated him in fitting me in last minute. Just did not get what I wanted/expected from my massage

Hands down the deepest most intense deep tissue massage I have ever had. She had an amazing ability to apply continuous pressure to skirt the edge of discomfort without going over the line for longer than a second or two. I have learned to appreciate the massage method AD uses and Shaylyn has it down! I have had similar massages from Piper as well on multiple occasions - now I have two to choose from! I also learned the music they play is called "low fi" and it is a great part of the overall sensory experience along with the scents they put in the air. Once I stop traveling to Austin for work in a few months I will miss this place.

He is very skilled and in tune with the body, which means he is technical without being overly painful. I will definitely work with him again soon.

Easy - the one word that comes to mind. And how a massage should feel…read more First, easy to schedule online. Then, easy to find and easy street parking in the neighborhood. When you get upstairs, such an easy-going, clean and relaxing environment, without the stress of hearing conversations in massage rooms next door or waiting in the room looking up each time a massage therapist walks out. It's one-on-one in his apartment and it's setup very comfortably. Now let's talk about Christopher - the nicest person you'll ever meet and you just want to be friends and hang out all the time. He's very adaptive to whether you want a quiet time to catch up on a nap, which I did last time, or a conversation about speakeasies that distracts from some of the pain of releasing tight muscles. Before he starts, he's a good listener and asks insightful questions to provide maximum relief. Once you're on the table, he's also very perceptive to what areas need more attention. He's kind, effective and truly cares to make sure his client has had a productive massage session. He doesn't rush you out but rather spends a few minutes on feedback to make sure you feel good. So easily a five-star experience!

I am a bit of a massage snob but honestly it's bananas to me that I couldn't seem to find anyone in the entire Austin area that seemed to know what they were doing- and I tried them all. Spas , private practice, sport masseuse physical therapy massage therapist you name it. Enter Chris. He knows the anatomy of your body so he is a true healer. I can't stress how important it is for a massage therapist to know anatomy. My tendinitis and tennis elbow always flares up throughout the year. I've had to go to acupuncture in the past but Chris has changed that! Now I just have to see him for a few sessions and it's gone! It's amazing. When I told Chris of my struggles with finding someone good he explained to me that in Texas massage therapist / masseuse only have to get HALF of the amount of hours needed to get licensed that people in New York need! Which explains a lot ! His setup is in his apartment ( which is common in NYC so it didn't bother me ) but for anyone wondering if that's sketch- it's not ! It just allows his pricing to stay competitive. Honestly - you will not be disappointed with a massage from Chris. The best of the best of the best. 100000000000 stars !!!

I looked at a lot of places before Yelp offered up this gem, she's not right in the middle of it all which I liked. It was a bit of a hike down some windy roads through some lovely neighbourhoods, and by hike I mean all of like like 2 miles from the giant Whole Foods downtown... It wasn't a huge list of practitioners and options to choose from which I liked. One amazing masseuse with a few options for therapy which she then customised to my needs. Too many options always makes me anxious, and I'm going there to relax after all. She asked great questions to understand my preferences and trouble areas. Her accommodations were clean, well appointed, and perfectly comfortable. Loved her music - I'm now adding Boards of Canada to my Spotify list! Pro tip - if you feel like you're parking in front of someone's apartment when you arrive, don't fret, that's just what that business complex looks like :) And read the emails, she includes super thoughtful directions on how to get there and where to park! As if it needed any bonus, and it didn't, I left with some samples of product she used, a bath bomb (homemade I think) and some valentines chocolates :)
