Made an appointment in the week for Friday evening with JP. Thankfully this is walking distance so…read moregot there in plenty of time. The door maybe locked if they are all with clients. The entry is serene with white noise machines on the doors to keep what's behind them nice and relaxed. The lobby had several things to look at while waiting. Once JP finished the session before, the table linens were changed and I was brought in to review what needed attention. Since I was there specifically for my left shoulder, that was the focus. I did a 30 minutes session which went by wayyy too quick. JP did a great job of going slow to not cause any discomfort and asked how the pressure was along the way. Talk about relaxing! I'm intrigued to see how the area feels after a nights rest as I've been dealing with the issue for several months. Despite doing PT, there's was something not quite getting to the exact location of he tension. I could feel the areas I've been missing with trigger point in myself being addressed during the massage. Talk about a win! The cost wasn't too bad, $65 for 30 and I will do an hour next round to do a full body massage. The venue was quaint and quite perfect for relaxation.

Rating: 4.6/5 Upon…read morearrival, we filled out a short form before being taken to our rooms. I had Kenia, and my husband had Liz. We both enjoyed our massages and plan to switch therapists next time to experience the other's technique. That said, our rooms were noticeably different. Mine was smaller and more basic, while my husband's was larger and more thoughtfully decorated, which impacted the overall experience a bit. The music in my room was also unexpected--chill R&B instead of the usual nature sounds or soft piano, which I typically prefer. Kenia had a great flow to her movements and was really in tune with my body. She worked out all my knots and even found tight spots in my glutes. Afterward, I had a cup of water waiting for me at the front which I appreciated.

So I booked and waited. Got a message if we could push it back 30 minutes but couldn't since I had to be out my Airbnb at 11 and booked 1.5 hour massage. Was able to still keep appointment which I very much appreciated. Massage was ok. Felt like it was maybe too early maybe and just didn't get what I had expected honestly. Booked a deep tissue and it was maybe a Swedish in pressure. It was pricey, but then again it's Austin and I'm used to Houston prices lol. I would have given a 3* but I appreciated him in fitting me in last minute. Just did not get what I wanted/expected from my massage

From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, we felt incredibly welcomed--the space was tranquil, and the customer service was exceptional. They even noted details from our phone conversation, so checkout was smooth and effortless. Before your appointment, they ask you to complete a form in advance. Just a heads-up: this location doesn't have a couples room, so my husband and I were in separate rooms. I was with Cara J., and he had Sabrina R. When our massage therapists walked us to our rooms, I immediately noticed the intriguing decor and red lighting--it really sets the vibe. I appreciated how they explained the technique and what to expect, so you're not caught off guard when they begin using friction-based movements to generate heat. Cara even massaged my elbow caps and knees--mind-blowing! She also spent a generous amount of time on the base of my neck and feet. I was genuinely impressed by how she used her arms to create consistent friction without burning herself, all while maintaining firm pressure for the entire session. After the massage, your therapist meets you at the front with a thoughtful touch--a small bag of Epsom salt to take home. Both my husband and I agree this was one of the best and most unforgettable massage experiences we've ever had.

When you get upstairs, such an easy-going, clean and relaxing environment, without the stress of hearing conversations in massage rooms next door or waiting in the room looking up each time a massage therapist walks out. It's one-on-one in his apartment and it's setup very comfortably. Now let's talk about Christopher - the nicest person you'll ever meet and you just want to be friends and hang out all the time. He's very adaptive to whether you want a quiet time to catch up on a nap, which I did last time, or a conversation about speakeasies that distracts from some of the pain of releasing tight muscles. Before he starts, he's a good listener and asks insightful questions to provide maximum relief. Once you're on the table, he's also very perceptive to what areas need more attention. He's kind, effective and truly cares to make sure his client has had a productive massage session. He doesn't rush you out but rather spends a few minutes on feedback to make sure you feel good. So easily a five-star experience!

I am a bit of a massage snob but honestly it's bananas to me that I couldn't seem to find anyone in the entire Austin area that seemed to know what they were doing- and I tried them all. Spas , private practice, sport masseuse physical therapy massage therapist you name it. Enter Chris. He knows the anatomy of your body so he is a true healer. I can't stress how important it is for a massage therapist to know anatomy. My tendinitis and tennis elbow always flares up throughout the year. I've had to go to acupuncture in the past but Chris has changed that! Now I just have to see him for a few sessions and it's gone! It's amazing. When I told Chris of my struggles with finding someone good he explained to me that in Texas massage therapist / masseuse only have to get HALF of the amount of hours needed to get licensed that people in New York need! Which explains a lot ! His setup is in his apartment ( which is common in NYC so it didn't bother me ) but for anyone wondering if that's sketch- it's not ! It just allows his pricing to stay competitive. Honestly - you will not be disappointed with a massage from Chris. The best of the best of the best. 100000000000 stars !!!
