Don't be fooled by this 5 star review. Here's a list of things that totally went wrong (service AND…read moremassage-wise) and the only thing the staff could say was "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do" or "I"m sorry but I wasn't here for that" 1. Book reservation for my husband and myself incorrectly (asked for 90min but booked for 60min) 2. Had to call back to confirm correct length of time for massage (upon reading confirmation text). 3. Got a call at 9pm (woke baby up) to tell me that they couldn't confirm a 90 minutes reservation for my husband because the masseuse may or may not be able to do a 90 minute massage. (Turns out the masseuse had an injury and they weren't sure if she could do a 90minute) 4. Husband's masseuse (the one with the injury) didn't ask him how the pressure was even ONCE and barely applied any pressure. If your staff is injured, then they really shouldn't be performing massages. We were on vacation and this was supposed to be our special treat. It turns out it was the catalyst for ruining on morning and day. Also, FYI. the location is SUPER hidden (which staff should really let people know, especially when they say they're from out of town). Miss the street and it will take you another 5-10 minutes to get back around.

Kelsey was absolutely phenomenal. I hadn't had a massage in a year or more due to work and in…read moreactuality, I'm very ticklish. However, with my highly stressful, sit-down job/life, a massage was becoming a dire necessity. Her first ministrations down my spine caused near-instant change in my tension. I could feel relief flooding through my body. I kept waiting for chatter (which I definitely didn't want) and/or comments about all the knots in my back and everywhere else she felt them (sorry, Kelsey!), but she worked methodically and purposefully. Before I knew it, the 90 minute session was over! Thank you so much for a thoroughly enjoyable massage!!!

If you're searching for the best massage therapist in Austin, look no further--Jeff is your guy…read more I've been seeing Jeff for over six years, and with his 20+ years of experience, his skill level is off the charts. His deep tissue work is exceptional, with a level of depth and attention to detail that's unmatched by any other therapist I've encountered. Jeff's home studio is cozy and welcoming (with easy street parking). Everyone I've referred to him has been blown away, and I hope more people get to experience his incredible talent. Fair warning, though... once you've had a massage from Jeff, you'll be spoiled for life. You'll find yourself comparing every other massage to his, and nothing else will quite measure up (speaking as someone who's a self-proclaimed massage junkie!) I can't recommend his bodywork highly enough--he's truly one of a kind. If you're serious about getting an exceptional massage, do yourself a favor and book a session with him. You won't be disappointed!

I am motivated to do an update! I'm STILL going to this place nearly four years later, and I think…read morethat's worth writing a new review for. I have had several massage therapists help me since I first started coming here, and every single one has been fantastic. My main reason for changing is that my availability does not always match what each therapist has for their schedule. My Wellness membership has been well worth the monthly price. I don't always make it in, but the credits roll over and I can use them on elevations or time extensions instead. The parking garage has changed since, you drive in, download the app (if you don't have it already) and then you can drive out. There's no scanning or paying at the gate, this place has a QR code that you can scan and that will validate your parking, and I love that. You can also give the front desk your license plate number and they'll handle it for you. It's good for about two hours which is great for when I get a 90 minute massage. You'll have time to peruse some of the rest of the area and maybe snag yourself a snack.

He is professional and consistently provides a thorough deep tissue massage, and I always leave our sessions being able to feel both of my hands (I have an old spinal injury).

Laura just gave me one of the BEST MASSAGES of my life. I found her on yelp while looking for an…read morein-home massage therapist. I was desperate for some relief, at the tail end of a horrible flu and achy from coughing, sneezing, and sleeping upright. I'm pretty picky but from the moment Laura started, I could feel how connected and in synch she was with me. She could tell when energy was being held and released, she observed where I was holding tension, and delivered the massage at a slow deliberate pace to help release it. I had only booked an hour but because she makes every second count, it felt like she worked on me much longer. She wasn't stuck to a routine but worked intuitively and thoughtfully. Her touch is both confident and calming. Laura provided a truly healing session and I will happily recommend her to anyone. She is a gift to the world of the healing arts.

Laura is AMAZING! I first discovered her when I was 9 weeks pregnant and had a major back spasm. I…read morehad not experience MFR before and was very impressed by how big of a difference it made. With a long history of back pain and other issues, I was THRILLED to find someone who I knew would truly make a difference in reducing my issues. In addition to the much-needed pain relief, it's such a pleasure every time I see Laura. She's warm, friendly and such a nice energy to be around. I love how she uses her intuitive nature to help me work through any physical manifestations of emotions, stress or worry. I've found her work to be especially comforting after I gave birth to my baby, healing from some of the birth trauma and working through postpartum emotions. I visited Laura at her new studio in East Austin last week and LOVED it! The room felt very airy and bright, warm and cozy all at the same time. Laura seemed even more exuberant and joyful (if that's even possible!) to welcome me into this special space that she created especially for her clients to relax. It's been a pleasure working with Laura for over a year now and am very much looking forward to my next massage!

He has no website with an email and no messaging function on Yelp, leaving me with no option but to try again later one more time - or of course, find another provider. I am leaving this review in the hopes that the situation will be resolved and I can then update it. I think it's best that any service provider is available to potential clients!

A couple of months ago, my friend, who is a massage therapist, took a workshop on Thai massage…read more Luckily, she wanted to test out her techniques on someone, and luckily, I happened to be nearby. Holy cow. My muscles didn't know what hit them. After that brief introduction to Thai massage, I decided I wanted to try out the real deal. So my search led me to Yelp, which led me to Mark Bonus. First of all, his name. How cool is his name? When you meet him in real life, you immediately begin to question your lifestyle and wonder how can you become more like Mark. He is zen. He is peaceful. He is calm. I adore his aura. Then, there is the massage. It's soothing and therapeutic. I felt like a giant blob that Mark was molding and putting back together. I never want to get up from the mat after he is done. So, the first time I visited, I opted for the 60 minute Thai massage. It is not enough time. On my subsequent trips, I've booked 90 minute sessions, which gives him more time to focus on my problem areas. I believe most Thai massage therapists generally recommend at least 90 minutes, so keep that in mind if you decide to book, which I highly, highly, suggest you do. Your body will thank you.
