Pros: Gentle touch (if you like Swedish massage) Prayer (if you're religious/spiritual) Cons: Got a groupon deal for 70 mins, only got 60 min service. I'd personally invest little more $$ to get the full service elsewhere. read more

This woman! She is a true healer, as most of the other Yelpers have said already. She's trained in all sorts of massage styles, plus energy work (Reiki). You don't go in and order off of a menu. By all means, tell her what physical issues you're experiencing/have experienced, weak points and what you're looking to get out of your session together if it's something specific. Then...just lay down on her table (which is as comfy as a pillow-topped bed) and let her do her thing. She senses what your body needs and tailors the massage to that. She has been doing this for a very long time and is, I think, naturally gifted as well. The last time I got a massage/energy work done with her I was in a complete state of relaxation for about 3 hours following my appointment. Will never go to another masseuse in Austin as long as Inge-Lise is in business. read more

Spiritual, healer. this woman is at the top of my go to list. I can feel my shoulder! She is truly a master and I will send ANYONE and everyone to her. read more

Inge Lise is something special. Certainly. This is not your typical massage. Yes you will leave feeling relaxed and yes it will be wonderful but Inge Lise is so much more. -Favorite parts: I love the feeling of starting a massage on my back and ending face down. This is just the way Inge works. She begins with a relaxing neck massage and aromatherapy and it sets a wonderful tone for the whole massage. -The massage table is not basic, it's comfortable and feels more like a bed than a table. -The massage itself progresses and Inge Lise focuses on the areas of that need attention but without too much, or too little pressure. She has just the right amount of time on every area and I had to force myself not to fall asleep because this was one of the best massages I have experienced. I know that phrase gets bandied around a lot but I have adjusted all of my previous massage ratings based on this one. Inge Lise is the top. -The hot stones were icing. It wouldn't matter if she used them or not, it's her hands the make the massage. She's currently located next to HUSH salon on 35th st so the address may need to be updated. If you're looking for a personal touch and a massage unlike the massage-chain shops then Inge Lise should be the woman you look to. read more

I usually am a little disappointed when I leave a massage because I don't quite feel that total relaxing feeling. But that was not the case here. She has the perfect touch with enough pressure to really make you feel relaxed and stress free. I highly recommend her! read more

Ever had an argument with a therapist during a massage? me either, until going here.. I'll explain. I unfortunately bought a groupon for 2, 70 min CUSTOMIZED massages. Since moving to Austin, I have been driving to San Antonio, but thought I would save myself a little time in traffic and since the reviewed on here are good, I though I would give it a try. I arrived at 350 for a 4:00 appt. Be aware that there is little to no parking available, I had to circle the block twice to find a spot. After filling out some paper work and using the restroom (which was dingy) I was called back to my appt with no introduction and was told to lie face up. I have spent a lot of money on massages both with big chains and private, but never have I not been asked what type of pressure/massage I would like. Anyways, I tell her that I prefer a lot of pressure (since, I did purchase a customized massage) and she bluntly tells me "you get what you get" and "I haven't been doing this for 35 yrs by giving clients what they think they need. The massage is over very quickly, by the time I am dressed and walk out the door it is 4:45, not even an hour after I had arrived. I realize that most massages are 50 min scheduled on the hr, but they are advertised as such. At the end of the appt, I ask didn't I buy the 70 min massage? thinking maybe there were other options and maybe a mistake and she says "what do you want"? Not knowing what to say and not wanting to make matters worse I just left. I already had the 2nd massage scheduled, did not receive a reminder call. When I show up, she says that she didn't think I would show, so she didn't bother calling. Great, thanks for making me feel welcome. I tell her that I would just like to relax. Half way through the massage she says to me "can you just relax" and when I tell her that is what I am trying to do, she tells me I can just leave now if I want. Honestly, I felt completely vulnerable (since I am laying there naked) and the way she treated me bordered on harassment. I really could go on and on. The sheets are rough as well as her hands and her fingernails kept poking me. She totally skipped over my hands, forarms, shoulders and feet. The room is not spa like at all, the table has egg crate like foam mattress cover on it (I didn't think about this while I was there, but impossible to sanitize between clients), and I could hear the front desk arguing with someone on the phone during my appt. I love patronizing small business owners and even have a gift certificate to a chain that I haven't used yet, but I guess the down side is that when you go to a private business there really is no one monitoring quality control or patient satisfaction. I have no idea if this groupon is still available, but purchase at your own risk. It is not worth saving a couple bucks, in fact I have since found a great private massage therapist right down the street, that will give you the exact massage you want for the groupon price here. This was the worst experience/customer service I have ever experienced. read more

I have been going to Inge-Lise for several years and she is wonderful! I look forward to my weekly massage and I come away from there in an altered state of relaxation and bliss...it's too wonderful to adequately describe. She is a magickal person and she keeps my damaged body feeling healed. Due to multiple surgeries and scar tissue and lymph drainage needs, I feel I am so lucky to have found this woman. She can not only address my physical but also my spiritual being, and I am a total believer in how the two are inseparable. She is essential to my well-being and I wish I could give back to her how she makes me feel. read more

What a wonderful massage. She had a really comfortable, nice and lovely space what I first walked in. She did a hot stone massage on me and she hit every spot I needed work on and really kept on it unlike some people that ignore your requests. She was just so nice too! I can't wait to reschedule with her. read more

I was unsure of what to expect from a healing hot stone massage. A Groupon was purchased for me as a gift. When I arrived, the other masseuse there greeted me and was very kind letting me know to sign in and that Inge-Lise will be with me shortly. It's a small area but calming and comfortable place. Inge-Lise greeted me and got straight to the massage. The table was clean, comfortable and warm. She asked if I had any areas that she needed to be aware with. She didn't ask me what type of pressure I liked and I wasn't inclined to tell her. She was really mindful of my body and gave me exactly the right pressure. I'm really surprised reading any negative reviews on here. I am not educated on healing massages but left wanting to know more. She was so kind and left me feeling like she was intentional about healing my body. I will definitely visit again. read more

I bought a Groupon for my boyfriend for two massages on Valentines Day at this business. Unfortunately this business never responded to phone calls, emails, or website messages. Groupon contacted the business and asked them to call me. They did not call me back. This was a terrible experience and I will be looking for another masseuse. I bought this on Valentines Day and only got resolved now. read more

Brilliant masseuse. Inge is a wonderful, gifted healer and masseuse. The space is warm and inviting, very comfortable bed and sheets, and lovely hot stone custom massage. She spent a lot of time exactly where work was needed. Again a gifted healer. Hard to come by in today's rushed world. Thank you Inge-Lise. Thoroughly appreciated :) read more

Inge-Lise has magical hands and amazing healer energy. You feel it in the air and on you body and soul. I have gotten 3 massages and each time i leave uplifted, extremely relaxed and with complete light-hardheartedness. I highly recommend her. read more

I've been going to Inge-Lise for about a year now. She is amazing. That's all there is to it, and there is no excuse because she has Groupons people!!! She's awesome and will leave you in a trance like state every time! read more

I've had many a massage and this by far was the best I've ever had. I just moved to the Austin area and was given the gift of massage by friends from back home. I hit the jackpot!!! Already scheduled my next appt. She was awesome!! read more

Absolutely terrible at responding. For the past three months, I've tried to schedule an appointment with this vendor and, even after getting in contact (where she said she would call me back - she didn't.), have not been able to make an appointment. I bought a massage as a present for my over-worked girlfriend, and now it's just turned into a terrible disaster. I've never had such a terrible experience in my life honestly. Very frustrating, and disappointing. read more

She's very professional and a get masseuse. No wonder she was Lady Bird Johnson's personal therapist for many years. I highly recommend her. Furthermore, she offers get a deals thru groupon read more

I've received many massages in my time, but this woman is the best! She does some energy healing as well as the massage. I have fibro and massages can make me very very sore--she smoothed everything out and I had no fibro rebound the next day. She's amazing and a lovely woman who just exudes compassion and caring. read more

I was in need of some major stress relief after a really bad couple of days.(My son had surgery recently and I have been his full time nurse for the past week.)This is not a she she spa but a true massage therapist. Attention to detail was given to problem areas. The bed was very comfy and the room temp was perfect. I left feeling very relaxed. Thank you for your kindness. read more

Never met anyone as rude over the phone so I decided it was too much of a risk to let this person near my body for a massage. Phone manners are something to be desired. read more

I made an appointment three weeks ago and showed up today for my appointment and she was beyond rude to me, stating the following "You are wrong, I do not have you in my appointment book", she was beyond rude, humiliating me in front of other people. I know for a fact I made the appointment without a doubt. Yet she refused to even acknowledge that she perhaps got the days wrong, in fact she kept pushing her planner in my face to show me her day. She never offered to re-book me, let alone apologize. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE. read more

There are no words to describe Inga-Lise's healing touch. She is the best as far as I am concerned. I could immediately feel her spiritual depth and love as she laid hands on me, healing and oh so very relaxing. Thank you Inga! read more

This is the best 'therapeutic" massage I have ever received. She does not rush the massage and she covers the problem areas with attention and care. I so enjoyed this experience that I bought 6 more massages with her on my very first visit. I have already referred 3 other people to go see her. Amazing! I left feeling wonderful. She was very kind and warm. read more
