My gf and I were visiting Austin for our birthdays and wanted to treat ourselves to a massage. It was easy to book our massages online and they were very prompt in responding to questions. They don't do couple massages but are able to adjust appointments to start at the same time! Come day of we were running late due to traffic (‍ I know). Reached out and they said no worries. We walked in 12 minutes late and check in was a breeze. We had 90 min massages where I was with Becca and my gf had Bobbie. They both were fantastic! They were attentive, and listened to our needs with compassion and understanding. They tended to the areas we voiced. Great pressure and great relief. We left refreshed and relaxed. THANK YOU BECCA AND BOBBIE! They are plus size friendly and women owned/operated (HELL YEAH!) Downside- they aren't in Dallas (lol!) We will be back if in AUS! read more

It has been a minute since my last massage. I totally enjoyed my massage. Hannah is excellent. I will definitely be back soon.

I was pleased with my massage. Clean environment and friendly staff. Exactly what I needed that day!

Sandra is unbelievable- I have been to several therapists over the years and I have never had someone with the intuition and skill on where to focus like she did. It was deep tissue without being painful, and the way she worked left even areas we didn't focus on feeling relief. I left feeling I can trust her with my very picky and sensitive body. read more

My experience at Mantis was great! I had been dealing with a back injury and my masseuse, Hannah, quickly found the source of pain and addressed it within our hour long session. Definitely would recommend for anyone dealing with pulls, strains or soreness. read more

I went in with a wicked headache last night, and Ally was a wizard. Highly recommend.

I saw Sandra on a whim, because I was having leg pain and she was amazing. Kind and super talented. I already booked with her for another massage. read more

Audrey at the South Congress location is a miracle worker. The session was 60 minutes and was such a functional, restorative deep tissue massage. If you are athletic and looking for some relief I highly recommend this session. read more

I love getting a massage (who doesn't?). But since finding Mantis, I'm in love with getting a massage. And now Mantis is the only place I'll get massages, because life is too short for mediocre self-care, am I right? I love the whole vibe at Mantis, love the whimsical playful touches on their site and in their paperwork-- they take the job seriously, but they don't take themselves too seriously. I love that attitude! The place is super clean and comfortable; I feel like they've anticipated all our needs and have done everything they can to accommodate them. I'm sure all the massage therapists are terrific (clearly that's how they roll at Mantis: excellence!), but I've been going to see Sandra, and I don't have enough words of praise at my disposal to describe how amazing she is at what she does. She's incredibly skilled, intuitive, kind, compassionate, helpful. I came to her with carpal tunnel pain and discomfort in neck/shoulder from lots of typing (I know I'm not unique there!), and I felt better even before getting off the table on my first visit! And beyond specific crunchy spots that needed help, I feel a remarkable sense of relaxation and wellbeing after each session. (Thank you so much, Sandra!) Also, the booking process is really easy, and they offer pre-purchase bundles for a discount. I appreciate that too. If you already have a massage home you love, then you do you. But if you're looking for one, I cannot recommend Mantis highly enough! :-D read more

I had a great experience at Mantis Massage. It was my first ever massage and I was a bit nervous. Lindsey did a great job putting me at ease. The relaxation massage was very soothing and there was no pain. I loved the calming music and heated table and low lights. Lindsey's voice is very soothing and her touch is magic! read more

New to Mantis and feel fortunate to have scheduled an hour with Carmen. Best deep tissue massage I've experienced. Real attention to detail in pressure and pace to address trouble spots. I'll be back regularly. Carmen has my highest recommendation. Cheers-Dylan read more

Hands-down, best massage I've ever had. My therapist was Lauren, and I cannot recommend her enough. It was incredibly valuable experience, and I am grateful. read more

The service I got was amazing Hannah was so nice an did a great job I went in with a stiff neck when I got out it was just so wonderful. Also it was my first time every gettin a perfersonal massager an it was a wonderful experience I will be Goin back. read more

Raven was incredible, patient at working through tough knots, the information on line, scheduling, facility and Raven's bio, all superb! Thanks read more

I had a wonderful experience at Mantis Massage with Sandra. She used the perfect amount of pressure and I left feeling significantly less tense in the areas that I asked her to focus on. Highly recommend! read more

Kishanna works magic and her mastery of anatomy and physiology helps her pinpoint your trouble spots and work them out. Highly recommend unless you take my massage spot, then outta my way! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mantis Massage & my therapist, Sandra ( airport boulevard location). I was gifted a massage for my birthday & had never even heard of this establishment. The communication is top notch & everything is via email. I filled out a form before my visit & let them know what my problem areas were along with other medical information. It's super professional & they only let you in five minutes before your appointment as the door remains locked for safety. It's so quiet & peaceful inside the waiting area, which sets the tone for your service. Sandra was very welcoming & automatically I felt at ease with her. She offered me the bathroom before our session as to not cut into our time, which was great. The actual massage room is very intimate & Sandra did a great job of setting a relaxing mood, especially with music! She again asked me a few questions before we started & I shared with her that a previous massage experience was not great. Again, the communication is great, Sandra made me feel comfortable enough to speak up throughout my session. This was the most amazing experience for me, I felt completely at ease the entire time. Sandra has a very gentle way about her technique. I will definitely be going back at some point & will be booking with Sandra. I wish I could give 10 STARS!!! read more

I received a great massage here. The service was excellent and the place was clean and relaxing. I docked a star only because I wished she had massaged my whole body and not only the specific parts of my body that said were problem areas. Maybe that needed to be clarified on my end but regardless I'd recommend this place to someone needing a good massage. read more

was having major pain with carpal tunnel and also working a desk job. Abbey was super knowledgeable and took great care of me! focused on the areas I asked for and showed me some extra things to alleviate the pain on my own. definitely will be back. read more

Highly recommend. Booking process was easy. Amanda was easy to communicate with, she asked all the right questions and catered my massage to exactly what I needed, in the right places and pressure for me. The vibe was about caring and sustained health. Already booked another session! read more

I love the ability to book online and see the entire calendar. I don't get massages often - usually when there is pain - and this scheduling has been helpful in getting me there before my back pain returns. Very caring staff and easy to chat with. read more

Melissa is a magician with a fantastic sense of humor and a superb massage therapist. I am so grateful to have received a gift card and for the means to be able to continue with this form of physical self care. Working with her, it is comfortable to try new things like cupping and pushing through the (temporary) pain to get to the amazing relief on pressure points. I'm convinced my sessions with her have improved my running. read more

Before the city of Austin went into "essential employee" mode for the good old 'Rona, I came here for a massage. It was easy to book online and this location is close to my new house. Two hip hip hoorays for me! I was able to schedule an appointment with Sydney easy peasy. Upon entering, I was greeted with some lavender-scented hand sanitizer and a form to fill out. Sydney listen to my concerns and got to work on me. Overall, the massage was really good. She was able to work out my calf strain from a recent kickboxing injury. This has been extremely helpful since my gym is shut down, thanks to old 'rona. I am now able to run on my calf without any issue. The only odd thing about the massage I must note was the choice of music. It was folksy instead of your traditional massage spa music. Oh well, to each their own. I can't wait for this pandemic shit to be done with so I can come back in for another massage. read more

I cannot recommend Mantis Massage enough. Easy, same-day booking. I had been suffering from extreme shoulder pain to the point I couldn't sleep or study. I had been regularly crying from the pain. I made an appointment and was able to see someone same day. I could literally feel the knots becoming undone as Hannah worked on my shoulder. She even gave me further advice on how I can continue to care for myself. I am so grateful I went to Mantis. read more

Must-go for anyone who consider massage around this area! I walked-in exhausted after months of martial arts practice and day-to-day computer jobs, walked out feeling like obtaining a new flesh. Amanda is extremely helpful on two core areas I asked for attention: neck&shoulder and knees. She maintained consistent power through the 60-min session, adjusted movements per request and kept the rhythm flowing like water (I almost fell asleep during the session). Immediate better feelings when I rose up from the therapy bed. Will definitely come again later. Extra pros for people who don't like talking (especially when you need to maintain proper breathe when the therapist is trying to remove mussel tension): online appointment system, quiet yet responsive session, perfect place to wash out stress and pressure. read more

Probably the best massage I've ever had (Bobbie was my therapist). Perfect balance of therapeutic and relaxing. The business is very professional. I completed the intake online and didn't have to fill anything out upon arrival. My appointment was at 7:30am, and I arrived 10 mins early, expecting nobody to be there. There were already 3 people at the front desk, calm and ready at 7:20am! It was chilly in the morning, and the massage table already had its heater on, and the room had great lighting and had chill, enjoyable music on. The whole vibe there is great: it doesn't feel clinical, but it's not incense and pan flutes either. Just super chill, super professional, and an excellent massage. read more

Janita was awesome! I was fortunate enough to book my first massage at Mantis this past Friday. Her pressure was good and she gently eased me into deeper pressure. She listened and addressed my concerns. Fantastic massage. She was also extremely kind. So happy to have found this place. read more

I love Mantis! They are a reliable spot to get a great massage. I don't go regularly so I haven't been able to build a relationship with any of their staff members but it doesn't impact my experience. They always find my knots and do their best to work them out. Also you should sign up for their email list for last minute openings, great for those emergency stressed out days. read more

My wife booked me a massage with Amanda at Mantis for my birthday. It was a wonderful and relaxing experience. Will definitely be visiting Mantis again. Highly recommend! read more

Great service. Easy to schedule, and it was a wonderful massage. Will definitely be back.

Everything about my service was wonderful. I went to the Airport location and was quickly greeted by my therapist Hannah. They were kind and listened to my needs and their flow work was amazing. They provided a wonderful experience combining a mid to deep tissue pressure which is exactly what I needed to relieve tension. I haven't had much luck finding a new therapist in the area and I'm so excited that I found Mantis Massage and look forward to my next session. read more

Bobbie was my masseuse and she was EXCELLENT. I could tell she was very in tune with how my body was responding and would adjust accordingly. I've only ever had 3 other massages and all of the masseuses cause me to twitch almost constantly so I expected I would have the same experience but even with firm pressure I hardly twitched at all! She never hurt me even though I said "intense pressure" lol, it was just right. Thank you Bobbie :) As far as the building - it is super cute and clean and the woman who greeted me was very friendly. Also I don't know if it was my masseuse's choice but the music was perfect - none of that yoga flute music nonsense (ok, it has its time and place), but just good indie music. (Is indie music a thing anymore? I'm getting old.) read more

I am in disbelief: The massage worked. Really worked. A familiar tension below my neck is missing, and that has brought a new range of motion. Kelsey was fantastic making this happen. The place itself and service are great. read more

I woke up unable to turn my neck side to side, with sharp shooting pain in my upper back/shoulders when I tried to do so. I went in for a 45-minute targeted treatment with Janita, and it was a GAME CHANGER! She is amazing--incredibly knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and focused on all the right spots with the perfect amount of pressure. After the massage, I had significantly increased range of motion and less pain. I highly recommend Janita, and will definitely be back! read more

You already feel at ease when you step into the Mantis Massage. I booked a 60-minute appointment with Sydney. Mantis Massage has two types of massage therapists, your typical LMT and your advanced LMT. I booked it with Sydney not solely due to availability, but because she's well-versed in trigger point therapy. Sydney focused on what I needed the most work done, my upper back and my hips. I easily get stressed and that compromises my posture. I also have weak hips. What I can't emphasize enough is Sydney really knows her stuff! You would have thought she was in physical therapy school as well! She manually tested my hip strength and checked my range of motions. She also offered stretching techniques for my quads and for my hips. I was feeling sore the next day, but guess what, NO BRUISES! That's what you get when you're paying for an advanced LMT! THANK YOU SYDNEY! read more

I almost don't want to leave a review, because they're THAT GOOD. I have had dozens (hundreds?) of massage, chiro, bodywork, PT, etc. appointments for wellness and injury and I have NEVER had such an intuitive practitioner. I realized by the second appointment that I didn't really need to "tell her where it hurt" - her fingers just knew. The deep release of tight shoulders actually lasts, not just relaxation. Worth *every penny* (and I love that it's a flat rate, no doing tip math at the end of your session!) read more

MATTIE WAS AMAZING! I work in front of computers for long periods of time, and had neck, back, and hip pain as a result. Mattie worked her magic and two hours later, my pain was IMMENSELY reduced and my mobility was much improved. I will DEFINITELY be coming back to the Airport location for regular massages and recommending to friends! read more

My massage with Kishanna was excellent! She inquired about my massage expectations and knocked it out of the park. The pressure was perfect, the massage left me relaxed and less stressed. Highly recommend! read more

I am very particular about my massages...to the point where I really hesitate to schedule an appointment because there is always a part of my massage where I go "oh man... this just wasn't worth the money...". I'm often leaving an establishment *slightly* disappointed. I had a massage therapist years back, but he eventually moved and since then, I've never committed to a place because many massages have been "meh". No longer. As long as I can afford to budget massages and live within a reasonable distance, Mantis Massage will be my go-to establishment. I had an insanely stressful work week and finally decided any massage was better than no massage. I booked the next available appointment at the Airport location and I was assigned Zanni. I was desperate for anyone, really, but I was shocked by how amazing she was. One of the best therapists I've ever had work on me... and I've gone through enough people to get a gauge. A lot of these massage therapists at Mantis Massage seem to have glowing reviews, so I'm sure you can't go wrong with anyone here, but I had Zanni and would 100% recommend her for anyone. For reference, I prefer an extremely firm/deep tissue massage. I grew up in an Asian household and the shiatsu massage and typical Asian foot massage with the high pressure points are my go-to. My tolerance for firm massages is very high and I desire a very firm/deep tissue massage experience. Zanni can do it. Go book an appointment now. Seriously. read more

Great massage from a therapist who paid attention to what I needed. Great place to get rid of stress and tension.
