    the floatation tank
    Candace S.

    I was very intriqued when I first read about the floatation tank and wanted to try it out! I have a friend who flies to TX for business and often stops by Austin to visit me. Pretty much all of her visits include eating lots of food, shopping and massages! So, I presented this idea of going for the "relaxation for 2" deal where we both get massages and both get to float. So after she flies in and we have lunch, we head over to Zen Blend which is actually at a house. Kristi, our massage therapist, greeted us, gave us a tour, told us the procedures and then we decided who would float first while the other gets the massage. I opted to float so away I went! You go upstairs to shower and get in a robe before getting into the tank which is in a private room. The water is tepid with 800 lbs of salt so you instantly float in about 10" of water. You can elect to leave the tank door open or close it so it's pitch black. I went ahead to close the door and it did take me a while to get used to being in the tank. For the first 10 mins, I was just bouncing around from side to side or top to bottom...lol. The water feels slippery against your skin--the best analogy I can come up with is watered down aloe vera because it's not quite a gel, but still thicker than water. I had music play for the first 30 mins and then silence for the other 30 mins. At one point, I got salt in my eyes (ouchie), but Kristi lets you know if that happens, there are towels and water to wipe. I showered the salt off, got in a robe and headed downstairs where the massage table was. The massage was GREAT! The best one I ever had. Kristi even worked out knots that I didnt even know I had and the hot stones were just heavenly. Afterwards, we hung out at the kitchen table where we were offered chocolates and tea. We chatted for a bit before heading out for a friend's birthday dinner. As a parting gift, Kristi gave us at vial of pink Himalayan salt crystals. I'd come back for the massage in a heartbeat. The floatation tank--I may try it again. P.S. If you google Zen Blend, there's a 10% off coupon--depending on what you have done, that works out better than the $10 off Yelp deal going on.

    Zen Blend is not your typical spa. First, it's located in a home off Slaughter Lane. Completely renovated to give it a spa-like atmosphere, the home has housed Zen Blend since 2001. Second, there is just one massage therapist, Kristi Ludlam, and you are her only client. Kristi schedules, at most, three clients per day so that you are given ample time and aren't rushed out the door to make room for the next person. Two services are offered: the Zen massage and the flotation tank. I enjoyed the relaxation day for one, which includes both services. You are given the choice of deciding which service you would like first, and I chose to go with the massage simply because I wanted to be completely relaxed before entering the flotation tank. The massage takes place in the "living room" complete with candles, music and a fish tank. I've had a few massages in my day, but nothing quite like a Zen massage. It was wonderful. The hot stone treatment, aromatherapy ... everything was so seamless, soothing and relaxing. I would have been satisfied after that, but then came the float. I headed upstairs to shower and rinse off the oil from the massage. Kristi gives you a tour beforehand, so I was very aware of what to do and where to go. From the shower, I was off to float. The tank is approximately 5 feet by 8 feet, holds 200 gallons of water and 800 pounds of Epson salt. There is so much salt in the water that you bounce straight up like a cork, and are essentially weightless. There are underwater speakers inside the tank and you have a choice of music, or no music at all. There is also a timer on the tank so you could have music for a certain length of time and silence the rest. Inside the tank is completely dark -- so dark that I would find myself wondering if my eyes were open or closed. The longer I was in the tank, the deeper I fell into relaxation. Pre-float, I thought I might have some difficulty staying in complete darkness and silence, trying to relax and clear my busy mind, but it was one of the best things I've ever experienced and I can't wait to do it again. After the float, it was off to the shower again. Everything is provided: towels, shampoo, body wash, lotion. Ladies, you may want to bring your brush. Last is tea, chocolate, and a sit-down with Kristi. Being able to sit down and talk about the experience was a great treat because it was clear how passionate Kristi is and how much she believes in what she does. Overall, Zen Blend was an unbelievable experience. They offer instant online gift certificates, or you can do it over the phone. Their rates are extremely reasonable and relaxation day packages are offered for one person or two.

    Went to zen blend in south Austin . Great great atmosphere . Even the parking lot makes you feel peaceful. Went for a couples massage. 200. Dollars for a fantastic massage, aromatherapy and peppermint foot rub. After had hot tea and chocolate. It was better than I expected. No other spa has topped this

    Teas, salt rocks, and an extremely laid back environment

    Tranquility Massage - Maisie!!!

    Tranquility Massage

    3.5(22 reviews)

    Maisie had an unusual set up for her massage "spa" inside what appeared to be a garage room with a…read moremassage table. After getting on the massage table, I realized that there was nothing to cover with, only a fitted sheet stretched over the table itself. The room was dimly lit so I didn't mind as much and I just assumed Maisie would bring a sheet or towel when she came in. It turned out that we did the 1 hour massage undraped but since the room was pretty dark it was ok. Maisie is a very skilled and talented therapist and understands the human body quite well. She was very nice and offered me a cold bottle of water to take with me. I still give her a good review although I found the room darkness to be unusual. Nice bodywork Maisie! Look forward to seeing you again!

    Today I visited Tranquility Massage Company for a 60 minute massage that I purchased via Groupon…read more Maisie is the owner, and she was very welcoming. It is located in a great spot in South Austin. The space is simple in a small shopping center, and it was very clean with nice decor and a modern feel with a cute design. This is not a fancy spa vibe, so if that is your cup of tea, go elsewhere. It was easy to find free parking. The massage itself was good. Maisie did a great job on my back and neck, which is where I asked her to focus. I liked how she used her forearms in addition to her hands to help stretch tight areas. The massage felt rushed, however, and she only used 50 of the 60 minute time slot. I checked my phone before I got on the bed, and we wrapped up in under 50 minutes. Booking with Maisie was really easy through texting to find a time that worked for both of our schedules. She sends great reminders and also offers deals on booking future massages and add-ons. I feel like if I went back to Maisie I would want a 90 minute massage for the whole experience, as it felt more rushed than I would like for some areas of my body like my legs. Her non-Groupon pricing was higher than I could afford to rebook, which was a bummer as in the past I have met my regular massage therapists via Groupon and kept booking with them. She does offer some specials though for booking in advance, so be sure to ask about that if you like her style.
