I called and was able to get an appointment in 45 minutes later for a prenatal massage. She also has online booking. Mya was very nice and asked me what was going on and made sure I didn't have any medical conditions that we needed to worry about. She has a support system so you can lay on your stomach which is great for lower back pain, which is what I have. Really good massage, I could feel her working out the tension as she found it and taking her time over the areas I said were hurting. I will definitely go back, big recommendation for an actual licensed, professional, knowledgeable prenatal massage therapist. read more

Mya was great! There was a mess up in the online booking website but she was very accommodating. Also the massage was great and I loved it! The pressure was perfect and I felt very relaxed. Lastly, very sanitized and had their own protocol that made me feel very safe during these COVID times. Thanks Mya read more

I absolutely adore her! Had such a great experience my back was so tense and the pain to sleep was horrible and after I felt like I was so relieved! I am 5m pregnant and our conversation was great! She made me feel more calm about everything having to do with my pregnancy. She was so easy to talk to and conversate and her hands are magic! It was so peaceful and relaxing absolutely recommend! Will be coming back! read more

I was visiting Houston for just a couple of days and did a web search for a massage therapist in town. I had your basic neck-and-shoulders-are-tight symptom of everyday stress and figured I'd see if someone could help. Mya's office space is nice and soothing, and I found Mya herself to be professional and also personable. The massage itself was very good and achieved the desired result--a break in the stress and relief of the tightness. I would gladly recommend Mya to anyone in need! read more

I have been getting massages from Mya for about 4 years now. I have followed her from her previous locale to her more recent one at Nia Moves in the Heights. Mya used to be in pharmaceutical sales before making the switch to massage therapist. You might see these two professions as being very different. However, the longer I know Mya the more I understand how one could relate to the other. You see Mya is a very intelligent person and knows how to make her customers happy. If you tell her you have pain or stiffness in an area, she uses her knowledge and extensive training to take care of you. Personally, I like deep tissue massages which focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This can be painful, but just because I'm a masochist doesn't mean you have to be. ;) Mya also excels at the good ol' Swedish massage and everything in between. In short, she is awesome! read more

Informed and professional masseuse. Listens and focuses on problem areas. Would highly recommend. Book through website booking portal.

Today was my first appointment with Mya. I have always had difficulties finding a massage therapist who it really "clicks" with and who will really listen to my concerns about bothersome areas, but Mya not only listened, she went above an beyond to work on the areas in my back that give me the most problems. Her pressure was perfect and she is definitely one of the most diligent therapists I've ever been to. Definitely going to be a regular from now on! read more

Mya was a life saver during my trip to Houston! I was in dire need of relief due to a kink in my neck before flying back home. Mya was easy to book with, responded quickly, was close to my location in the Heights, and reasonably priced. She also was very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a massage therapist living in Houston, or for anyone needing a great massage while in town. read more

I can't recommend this place. The massage was super mediocre--and the pressure was so light until it wasn't and she was elbowing your nerves. I asked specifically to get work on my lower legs including feet, calves and hamstrings. She didn't touch my feet! Any time she felt tension, she backed off, and it felt so pointless. By the time she did my second leg (after skipping my feet) I had to ask her for more pressure. When I asked for a bit more pressure, she told me that the hamstring area was nervy, which I understand because I'm a yoga teacher and know the sciatic nerve runs through there, but I was asking her to simply work out a few knots in the belly of the muscles. She then elbowed me and pushed down on the sciatic nerve--super painful! I had to leave. She just doesn't have enough skill to work out the areas in the muscle and then will try to hurt you if you ask for more pressure. read more

Prenatal massage heaven! Mya has got the touch. She listens to her clients and tailors her services. Highly recommended!

I LOVE Mya! I am very particular about my massages. I like a firm touch. Mya is firm when needed and gentle when needed. She is great about investigating issues and resolving the issues. I always have relief after a visit with Mya. The quality of massage is high and the price is low. I think she should raise her rates! read more

When I walked in Maya greeted me and walked me to my massage room. We spoke about what my problem areas were and what we wanted her to focus on. I got the 75 min prenatal massage - she had all the equipment so that I could be comfortable and lay on my stomach! That was so nice!! She also let me know that going to the bathroom during my massage doesn't count against my time- that put me at ease too. The pressure was perfect throughout my whole massage. She got a ton of knots out! When we flipped to my back her massage table head could elevate which was AWESOME, as anyone being pregnant knows it's extremely difficult to breathe and be comfortable laying flat on your back. I will definitely be returning. Thanks Maya!! read more

Went in there for a much needed prenatal massage, and it was perfect! As a fellow mommy herself, Mya really knows what you need regardless of what trimester you're in. With less than four weeks to go, I went in there feeling miserable and came out feeling like a million dollars. I'm hoping to go back at least one more time before the baby gets here. I highly recommend her for all expecting mothers! read more

I have gotten deep tissue massages all over Houston, including at the Trellis and other more expensive day spas. Maya is one of the most skilled therapists I have seen. She can find knots and pressure points within seconds. I will be coming back as a regular. read more

I had severe chronic pain and tightness in my pirisformis that would make moving and sleeping difficult. I started going to Maya and she was able to work it out every time. She also recommended I check out the Egoscue clinic and from that recommendation I was able to completely get rid of my pain in that area. She not only does a great massage but will try to assist with the true root of the problem. read more

When I had my first massage by Mya, I had been dealing with physical limitations due to neck pain for about one year. I could no longer work out, and I had tried physical therapy, muscle relaxers (gave me reflux) and pain meds. I just wanted to feel good again and be able to workout like I used to pain free. I was becoming very unhappy. After a few sessions with Mya the pain was much decreased and I was able to start on a modified exercise program she recommended to me. I quit all meds. The constant muscle spasms stopped. After more sessions with Mya, I continued to feel stronger and stronger. She listens so well. She understands muscle physiology so well. She helped me to get well knowing that she could well lose me as a customer. But she continued to help me get well and she also made sure I understood how to help myself stay well and not create the conditions to set myself up for future neck/back pain. What more could a person ask for? I also must say that the sessions are very soothing and relaxing! She's just Fantastic! read more

I am a long time client of Mya's (5 years) and I have to recommend her very highly! She knows how to pinpoint the problems and really cares about understanding them. Having been a musician herself, she understands the physical problems and stresses that musicians can encounter. Since I am a professional brass player and an avid jogger I can run into multiple aches and pains sometimes. Mya always takes the time to listen to my needs and is also very good at recommending new stretches and exercises that I can do at home to help me with my body maintenance between massages. She always impresses me with her knowledge of sports massage! Her knowledge of pregnancy massage has helped me as a professional wind player, because some of the thoracic problems can be so similar. Mya is very personable and professional and I'm so happy she decided to go into the massage field! read more

Fabulous!! Mya is my go-to for massages after bouncing around trying to find somewhere. I've had both the pre-natal and relaxation massages and leave feeling incredible. The facility is low-key and not as much of a "spa" experience as other places, but you can do no better for the massage! read more
