JILL is absolutely AMAZING! She is the owner and has done a beautiful job with her business with a beautiful name, Pure Serenity. You can tell she really cares about her clients. I have relied on her for stress relief for 10 years and she never disappoints. Highly recommend JILL!! Nichelle, on the other hand, is no longer with Pure Serenity but uses the website to snake people into booking with her. Do NOT book with Nichelle. She uses people to get what she wants. Book with JILL - you'll be happy you did! read more

I'm not trying to be dramatic by saying this was the message I've ever had! Jill isn't a masseuse because she wants money, she's doing this to make you feel better. I didn't feel like just another customer, she took the time to find out what was going on with me and what I needed and tailored it to me. You know what I mean when you go to a place and they do the exact movements they were taught and not uniquely massage you. She doesn't do that. She treats you to heal you. I just can't say enough about how phenomenal she was. Plus, the studio is adorable! I can't wait to go back. read more

I've been having terrible back pain, so I was (& unfortunately still am) in desperate need of a deep-tissue massage on my back which is the whole purpose of me going there. I filled out the paperwork, & was extremely specific as to where on my back I needed it, both on the paperwork & verbally, multiple times, but Jill totally ignored me, & started on my feet. She also kept leaving to put more oil on her hands which would take about 5 minutes, every 5 minutes. When I'd try to politely tell her what I needed, she would acknowledge it, put more oil on her hands, then continue doing exactly what she'd already been doing, which was not what I asked for or needed. I also hate having oil in my hair but she kept messing with it even after I'd told her that was off-limits. It was the most unsatisfying, frustrating experience I've ever had, & back pain is still the same as it was before I went. read more

This was the worst massage I've ever gotten. No massage techniques were used. I paid $140 to get rubbed down with oil. I made it clear before the massage that I needed a deep tissue massage. She waited until after the massage to say she can't do deep tissue massages. Save your money and go to a professional. Do not waste your time here. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Nichelle. I struggled finding the location in Buda (finally found it inside the State Farm building). I think my blonde hair got the best of me. :) Nichelle was very friendly and welcoming and addressed all my needs and concerns before the massage. The massage was very relaxing and she was able to release a lot of tension in my body. I will definitely scheduled another appointment. read more

Nichelle is a clear professional. She spent the fitst 10min or so asking about my work, my fitness routine, and the specific issues I was having. During the session she assessed the trouble areas and decided to employ cupping, which I had never had done before, and it was very effective. I left already feeling moderate pain relief and had improved range of motion in my shoulder. Will certainly return, and I highly reccomend. read more

It was a Sunday afternoon and I did something to my back the day or two before and was progressively getting worse. What did I do you ask? That was the question since I was not even entirely sure. I complained and contemplated back and forth on what I should do. I finally gave in and decided to get a massage. The search led me to Pure Serenity because my usual place was booked. I searched via Yelp and found Pure Serenity. Upon looking at their website I was able to book the same day without any problems. Lucky me! I received the confirmation message and emails to confirm my booking. Before my booking, I did get a text message from Jill letting me know she might be a few minutes because she had to run home to let her dogs out. I appreciated the heads up on that and was not even an issue come appointment time. I arrived about 15 minutes early to Pure Serenity. It was easy to find and has other offices located within the building. Once inside the suite, there were multiple rooms divided by heavy curtains.I was slightly concerned about my treatment because I thought I would be able to hear others outside in the waiting area. I was wrong since the only noise I heard during my massage was a nearby train and of course relaxing zen music. Jill had me fill out an intake form before she started my massage and we quickly went over what I wanted. My massage went over time and didn't even notice. She later commented that she could have spent hours on my back since it was quite a mess. My upper back always is my problem area since I hold my stress there. I regularly get monthly massages because of this issue among overall health. Jill was very personable and friendly person. We talked afterward a little about where we grew up my move to Austin last year, school, etc. The issue I know have is I have a regular massage therapist I see at another place. I really like Pure Serenity and my other place a lot. Each has their pros and cons for me on a personal level. I have considered in the future alternating between Pure Serenity and my usual place. read more

I thought this was one of the better experiences I had at a massage place. It's really difficult to find the right masseuse. I highly recommend this place. read more

Jill is awesome and one of the best massages I've ever had. I'm a runner and I left 3/4 asleep because I was so relaxed. Thank you!

I visited Pure Serenity on Sunday after waking up with the most tension in my neck and shoulders that I had ever experienced. I never had a massage before so I was a little nervous when choosing a place to go. I only scheduled a 30 minute massage since it was my first time and I did not know what to expect. I was met in the lobby by Emy before we started she asked me what areas I wanted to focus on since it was a shorter session. Then showed me ways to help relive my tension at home or work by stretching. That in itself was relaxing. The massage was so rejuvenating I almost feel asleep within the first 20 minutes. Pure Serenity uses doTerra essential oils (serenity and purify enriched my experience) to provide an exceptional massage. I will definitely be back! read more

Finding a reasonably priced massage is very hard to find in the austin area. Not only that, find quality is even harder. Using Groupon doesn't always guarantee you a same day appointment or even the same week appointment for the massage your needing. I was fortunate enough to find pure serenity via google maps/ Yelp. I was able to book an appointment with ester the same day! Not only did she give me a 90 minute sports massage, she was able to fit my boyfriend in for a 60 min massage right after. The location is a bit hidden, but hidden gems are always the best, not only that but quiet! The atmosphere is peaceful and with a home-like feel. Now to speak of the quality of my massage. Ester is purely amazing. My mother is a physical therapist & I would have to say she definitely compares! If your looking for relaxation, medium pressure, or even a sports related massage, she's your go to person! The quality, the technique, and her presence is worth every dollar. I will continue to see her every 2-4 weeks. She's really good and customizing to you - what your comfortable with and what your needs are. Personally I have all sport related injuries such as a bad lower back, a bad left shoulder, TMJ headaches, and currently a hernia. She was very accommodating with adjusting to my needs and very precise with the pressure I was looking for! I feel absolutely amazing today and ready to get back on a plane for work tomorrow. Thanks! read more

Love this place. Anytime I am in the area I will try to get an appointment. Best massage I've had in years

How do I put this? Jill at Pure Serenity is amazing. I've had more than a few massages over the years, but more often than not, I've been left feeling a little underwhelmed. Jill and her magical hands finally gave me the massage I was looking for. She's communicative, sweet as cherry pie and creates a welcoming atmosphere with her presence. I'll be coming back. read more

Until I found Kathryn I had never been a huge fan of massages; I had just never found someone that delivered on my expectations of what a massage should be. That has all changed, with Kathryn I can trust that she will listen to what I hope to achieve at each massage and then she delivers...every time. Whether it is my shoulders or my back that needs attention, Kathryn not only brings her skills to those areas but she focuses on my whole well-being. She's amazing at what she does. read more

Esther Bramlett is AMAZING! I have chronic injuries from years of dancing and have tried numerous forms of physical therapy. Esther was by far the most healing for my body. She was able to seamlessly target my injuries while providing a completely relaxing and holistic experience. I immediately felt better and the effects of the massage have lasted weeks. Not only are her hands healing but I felt she really listened to me and helped me in a way I hadn't seen from other physical or massage therapists. I will definitely be going back and you should too! read more

I had a wonderful massage by Emy! She was great. I usually don't like to talk while I'm receiving a massage, but Emy asked questions to understand my body and why this or that was tight, she offered helpful suggestions to relieve tension on a day to day basis. I would totally recommend her and Pure Serenity to friends/family. read more

I love this place, it was recommended to me by a friend when I was having troubles with my herniated disc. Sessions helped a lot and I went several times. Jill works magic with her hands, released a lot of pressure I was feeling and was able to walk semi-normally after the session when I could barely walk before. Their location is great, place is clean and setting is very relaxing. read more

Jill is SO great at what she does! Came in for a prenatal massage and left refreshed and happy. Will recommend her to everyone. Bonus points, got to meet her cute pup! read more

Hey! If this is your first time to Pure Serenity then take a gander at this. Esther is the bees knees. She really knows what she is doing. You may wonder 'how does she know?' 'it's as if she knows me' kind of moment. She hits the spot that you've been saying is nearly 'killing you' and puts that baby in a swaddle and soothes it away. It's because she has been taught by some amazing people in San Francisco. And because of her discipline she really takes the cats meow. So if you're reading this then check her out. You'll want to nap in the lobby because your body is warm, toasty, and most importantly relaxed. You'll wonder if it's some type of sorcery...but it's not...its real and now comes the crazy part... YOU'LL BE BACK! Just like Arnold said. And I say all of this because she really took care of me and has educated me on what massage therapy is and why it is extremely important. When she talks. I listen. She has knowledge to back it and a touch like no other. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and great price. Nina concentrated on the exact source of my shoulder pain. She really knows what she's doing. I'll be going back. read more

Went here for the first time and had a great experience with Nina! She did an awesome job--she was very knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, made me feel comfortable and was receptive to my pressure needs. I was so relaxed by the end of the massage that I didn't even want to drive home!....Will definitely be coming back to see her. read more

Had a great message w/ Jill. Was easy to make appointment online and get confirmation text. Was able to make same day. Jill was great in asking if I had any special attention areas and was great at targeting those spots. Would highly recommend!! read more

Jill was the best! It's hard finding the right person who is able to strike that balance between attacking your problem areas and giving you the full body treatment. Very satisfied and can't wait to go back read more

I hurt my back at work and Jill gave me an amazing deep tissue. She was able to work out all the sore spots and I left feeling amazing! I highly recommend her. It's hard to find a massage therapist that can do some major work and be relaxing at the same time. I booked my second appointment before I left! read more

Just finished a serenity treatment and it is truly that. Jill is talented professional massage therapist who took me in on a late notice on Christmas Eve!! I thank Jill and recommend anyone who appreciates good massage therapy to give it a try. read more

I have found a new place to relax! I received a 30min doTerra aroma touch with Tammy and received a 60 min. massage with Jill, both ladies were professional and nice. The set up they have is really cute and inviting. Super clean! I really like that they are very flexible on the hours and days they work. I will be going back in 8wks and will be taking my teen daughter with me to enjoy these wonderful services. My advice is give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I am in town for Thanksgiving and was in need of a lot of bodywork! Esther was my therapist and she was amazing! She is a very understanding and compassionate therapist, and she is a very skilled therapist as well. Knowing how to vary the pressure is key when providing bodywork, and I have to say Esther brought it! Thank you Esther for helping me to know what it is like to be a client again! read more

Today I had my second massage at Pure Serenity. My first was several months ago with Jill...It was great! Tammy gave me a deep tissue massage today and it was awesome! I cannot wait to go back in three weeks for another! (I scheduled online last night, thinking what are the odds of getting in last minute?) I have had many massages at different places in and around Austin, inexpensive to pricey, mostly underwhelmed due to inconsistent massages, upselling, last minute appointment changes, talking incessantly, showing me exercises during the massage session, etc. White Stone Day Spa is less than a mile from my house and is now under new management. Unfortunately, I could not get a call back or a response to email appointment request, I guess it wasn't meant to be and now I am glad it worked out the way it did. (Recently, had a less than favorable experience with Om Massage - My sister's treat)... I think I have finally found the place for me! Scheduling online is a breeze, reminders appreciated, super clean facility, very professional staff, comfortable massage tables, great atmosphere. I hope you will give them a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised! Way to go ladies! Team Jill and Tammy!!! read more

If you live in Buda or the surrounding areas you must visit this place at least once for a true tranquil experience.. This has to be one of the most professional and friendly staffs I've ever experienced, as well as getting top of the line, exceptional service. I can't say enough about this sanctuary! God bless this business and their work read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Nichelle at Pure Serenity in Buda. I have seen several massage therapists in south Austin/Buda/Kyle area (at least 8 different therapists) and she has by far my favorite. She really listened to my concerns, helped target my problem areas, and gave me some great advice geared to what she found during my treatment. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Just had the most amazing massage by Nichelle! Not only did she incorporate different styles to address all of my needs and pains, but she took the time afterwards to educate me on things I can do on my own to alleviate and prevent pain. I highly recommend Nichelle!! read more

I just visited Pure Serenity Massage. Incredible! I woke up with some back pain and my wife, told me to "schedule a session with Jill (Jill Degenhardt, LMT). Very glad I did. Jill is terrific. The back pain is gone and I couldn't have left feeling more relaxed. 5 stars...because there aren't 6. read more

The massage was great! Jill is extremely perceptive to your body's natural tendencies to store tension and relieve those points of stress. Relaxing atmosphere, can't wait until my next massage. read more

My experience at Pure Serenity today was relaxing the minute I walked in the door. The aroma was delicious and the space was calming and decorated beautifully in soothing colors. Jill greeted me warmly and welcomed me to my massage in a sweet and professional way. I was very much at ease. She was very in tune to my chronic back pain and made sure I stayed comfortable. Her hands were well-trained in therapeutic massaging. The soft music contributed to the relaxation process. The only bad part was that my session came to an end when my time was over! Jill provided a top-notch service and made my massage experience a real treat. I feel very blessed to have walked through the doors of Pure Serenity. The name fits it perfectly! read more
