Visited Zen Blend today with my 12 year-old daughter. We were both massage newbies, and I have to say: Zen Blend has won us over. From the converted house setting to Amber and Natina being incredibly welcoming to the EPIC massage, we'll definitely be back. Oh, and the herbal tea assortment, fine chocolates, and wine following the massage was a nice finishing touch (pun intended). Thanks for killing it with the most relaxing afternoon ever, Zen Blend! read more

Just had an amazing massage with Kylie! The space was super relaxing, the table was really comfy, and the heat packs were such a nice touch. Kylie is so talented -- I left feeling totally relaxed. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for a 70 min couples massage with infrared sauna. Seriously the best massage I've had in my life, and I've had a lot of massages. My husband said the same. The techniques of the massage therapists were like nothing I've ever experienced before. The hot stones and hot towels were so relaxing and the environment felt so peaceful. I will definitely be coming back again, and would love to do a 90 minute massage next time. I'm also going to recommend them to all my friends, because they were just that AMAZING! read more

Scheduling is always easy! I have experienced several staff members and each is professional, kind, and take time to listen to me. The atmosphere is peaceful & healing. A bit pricey but does not keep me from the experience. read more

Amazing every single time. Perfect atmosphere for a massage. Low light with salt crystals for lighting. Everyone is awesome no matter who you get. I have trouble sleeping and health issues that cause me to have deep muscle pain. When I walk out of there I am pain free and ready to sleep. Thank god they are close by. read more

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. read more

Zen Blend Massage - the floatation tank - Massage Near Me - Austin, Texas

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. read more

My husband and I did a couples massage here and it was the best massage we have ever had! The attentiveness, the professionalism, and the empathy they have towards their clients is phenomenal. My husbands Uber had some problems and unfortunately he was late but they accommodated us so graciously! Our therapists were Amber and Nikki who did a phenomenal job! They asked us which locations we wanted them to focus on and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire experience. We are from Florida but will definitely be coming here again to Austin for them! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing! Surprised my boyfriend with a couples massage and sauna treatment this morning. We had a wonderful experience. The infrared sauna flushed us out (which was needed). After that, we had an hour and a half of massage. They used aromatherapy, steamed towels, and hot stones. The best part of the whole experience is that they make sure you are taken care of with water, hot tea, and wine. I highly recommend this place!! read more

I booked the Infrared Sauna + Couples Massage for my boyfriend and I as an anniversary gift. I was a little skeptical from looking at the pictures in the reviews, but once we walked in was amazed! This place is definitely a hidden gem. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was so attentive and made us feel so comfortable and cared for. The sauna experience was great! We hadn't done it before, but absolutely loved it. Make sure to drink lots of water before! Our message therapist were Annette and Cherie. Both ladies did a fantastic job! The only thing I would change is to offer more time on the massage (90 mins would've been the cherry on top). We will definitely be going back! Thanks for making our special day amazing! read more

OK. So, I found this spa on-line and read reviews there and on yelp. I booked the relaxation day for 2 for the hubby and I. After a really stressful past two week, the hubby really needed to relax as well. When I told him about the place and how it was a spa inside a home in a neighborhood, I think that he thought I was taking him to a brothel or something..... That, or I was trying to get him mugged or involved in some type of illegal activity. I just laughed and said let's give it a try. The entire concept of having a spa inside a home is something completely original, and being the type that loves to be massaged and loves the entire spa experience/atmosphere I really was looking forward to checking this place out. First, the float tank. OK. This was a really strange experience having been my first time. I told my husband that it felt like I was either in utero or inside a jello salad. It could have been either. Essentially, I felt suspended in this liquid that almost felt like gel after some time. You are essentially floating in this uber salty water in complete darkness listening to music of your choice for an hour. It was strange, but after I was able to let go and really relax it was a freaking cool experience. I came out feeling VERY mellow and a little disoriented. As for the massage.... I can say EXCELLENT. I say that without a doubt, because I consider myself a very good judge of massages. I have had some really bad ones, and Kristina's massage was by far in the very good to excellent category. She was able to relieve alot of tension from my neck. I also enjoyed the addition of hot stones, heated towels and pads, aroma therapy oils, and the water splashing from the fish tank in the room. If you are into having a few hours to yourself, you need to try this place. If you book the relaxation day for two, it's $200 and you get an hour massage and an hour in the float tank. It's an outstanding deal for two people. A massage alone in Austin costs up to $90 an hour (and that doesn't include the hot stones or aromatherapy). You need to try this.... There is nothing better than feeling like a wet noodle after a totally zen experience!! read more

I was pretty excited to try this after reading a bunch of positive yelp reviews. What happened far exceeded my expectations. According to my brain, my physical body disappeared and for brief periods of time I was only spirit. Except it wasn't scary. It was just a matter of fact. I floated for an hour and a half and the disappearing started about halfway through. Obviously once a body part touches something physical, you're brought back into the sense of self. When the session ended I couldn't tell if I fell asleep or not, but when I emerged I was more relaxed than I had ever been in my entire life. As a friend of mine stated, "it was more relaxing than marijuana and the effects last longer also." I will DEFINITELY be floating again. read more

Excellent massage and very clean. I had the 1 hour massage that included essential oils and warm towels with hot stones. The warming bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend this business. read more

(I actually went to the one on Slaughter Ln... Copying here too.) --- I highly recommend Zen Blend to anyone who wants a fabulous, relaxing, authentic experience! I got my fiancé a Couples massage package for Valentine's Day via an email coupon. Don't be fooled by their poor web & email presence... They obviously put their focus on their amazing facility and professional staff!! Though one cool thing is they send reminders via text. The facility is actually a house, beautifully decorated with a calming ambiance. The entrance is through the kitchen area. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust because it's very dark in there, with just candles. And it smells lovely because they have an essential oil diffuser going. We sat down at their big, natural wood dining table, which has an illuminated hole in the middle full of huge chunks of healing salt. That is where they had us sign a release form via iPads. They led us to a big, dimly lit room with two massage tables. I also recall a black light fish tank and a little station where they kept their hot stones and aroma therapy stuff. Ambient world music was playing in a little iPod. Our two lovely massage therapists made us feel at home and asked us to undress as far as we were comfortable and get under the sheets face down. They left while we did that. (We're modest and left our undies on.. I removed my bra of course... I don't really feel the need to involve my genitals, but to each his own!) It was freezing outside, so I loved that the cushions were heated! There were amethyst Bio-mats underneath. When they came back in, they wafted lavender and mint aroma near our noses (from underneath). I would describe my massage as "soothing" and my fiancé described it as "extremely sensual." I guess because he's a [hetero] dude. I just sort of lost myself in relaxation, and let all my troubles go... He was probably in fantasy land. ;) Neither of us had ever had hot stone massages. That was rad... They were super hot & slippery, so the massage therapist would press & glide along our muscles, with a stone in each hand. Near the end they added more aroma therapy from underneath, and then dinged two tiny cymbals when the massage was complete. They whispered to us that we could take our time getting dressed. We sloooowwwwly got up and stretched happily when it was over. We had been so quiet the whole time, and just both looked at each other with dumb grins on our faces. ;D We then eased back into the real world with some hot tea and chocolates in a little sitting area. :) It was really exactly what we both needed. We plan to come back every 3 months or so for a recharge! read more

I saw the episode on the Simpsons where Homer is in the flotation tank.sensory deprivation unit and floats away. I had to try it for myself. Lots of salt, about 6 CDs of music to choose from, and it takes some getting used to. It's like trying to meditate for the first time. The second half was like a lucid dream. Worth trying at least once in my life. read more

Ryan is a great host and they make sure you are comfortable with the whole float experience. Don't be scurred! It's super blissy and chill. Annette is a magician with the hot rocks and chased the stress right outta your body. The couple's half day is totally south Austin weird in all the best ways. read more

I can't really top the depth of the reviews given so far (so do read them). But I will say that Kristi and Zen Blend is fantastic. The floatation tank does take some time to get used to (but just another reason to return again). And her massage technique is terrific - just the right pressure to work the kinks out. Highly recommend Zen Blend. read more

I've been wanting to live near a float tank for the past ten years and then, in one sweet moment, I find our new Austin home is right down the road from Zen Blend. I've been twice now and it just keeps getting better. So I should confess I'm a serial meditator - which means that the float tank just takes me further into inspiration and clarity. Nothing beats that. And it wouldn't be the same without an amazing hot stone massage beforehand. That really gets you ready to float. So! I cannot recommend Zen Blend enough - it's a lovely experience from top to toe. Tim read more

I had a 60 min massage today and I can recommend! Zen Blend is located in a renovated house and it feels tucked away and peaceful inside. I had a quick introduction with Natina S. about pressure/ focus areas and we were on our way! I felt at ease with Natina and felt she was an intuitive practitioner. She focused on a tough spot while keeping the whole experience very pleasant. read more

Wow! My mind is officially blown. First, I've only had one hot stone massage in my life and it was possibly the worst massage I've ever had. Not this time! Kristi blended the hot stones with traditional Swedish massage techniques seamlessly, everything my other massage (done at The Crescent Hotel in Dallas no less!) wasn't. She asked what type of pressure I wanted for the massage and it was just perfect. There's nothing worse than having someone barely use any pressure at all. Also, my feet are very sensitive and I loved that she knew the exact pressure to use on them without me having to tell her. But the real eye opener was the floatation tank -- what an experience! The water is warm and very slippery because of all the epson salt, kinda like aloe vera. It took me about 10-15 minutes to get my head in the right place. You really have to let go and I mean LET GO. Clear your mind and let it drift, like cool down at the end of yoga. Once you do this, you'll begin to slip in and out of consciousness or conscious thought. Crazy, I know. Imagine being in utero, weird analogy but very apropos. I highly recommend this, it truly is an out of body experience. Afterwards, Kristi offers hot tea and chocolates. I declined the tea for water (gotta stay hydrated) but really enjoyed the visiting with her and sharing what I enjoyed about the experience. Super nice and extremely conscientiousness, Kristi makes you feel very relaxed and at home. read more

BEST hot stone massage I have ever received. Very thankful to the whole crew at ZenBlend for all their hard work & dedication. They have a deprivation tank, and if you have never been in one you need to try it out! Helps to clear your mind and stimulate all your psychic muscles. Love this place, anytime I need a massage I will be going back. read more

I cannot recommend Zen Blend highly enough. I have visited them several times and each time I leave relaxed, rejuvenated, and so happy that I went. By far and consistently the best massages I have ever had. The atmosphere of the building is incredibly calming. This is no cookie-cutter massage studio where they just dim the lights. As soon as you walk in, you are surrounded by warm lighting and a peaceful presence that helps you start to unwind. I love their beautiful waiting room table with inset healing crystals. The massage rooms are very spacious, the beds are comfortable, and there is even a second sitting area for you to relax and gently come back to reality after your massage. Everything feels very intimate. It is all about you. And there are usually tasty chocolates around too!! I love that the massage packages feel way more complete than anywhere I've been. Almost every one of their packages just includes everything. Want hot stones or aromatherapy? Just go with the second package and it's all there for you. The starting price is a little closer to that of a day spa instead of a massage chain, but what you get for you money is so much better than either type of place. The massages are simply amazing. As long as I live in Austin, I will not be Grouponing massages or going to a chain. I will be happily visiting Zen Blend. And last but not least - the staff is amazing! So kind and sweet. One time I booked a massage after a really hard week. Kristi was kind enough to sit with me and just chat for a while and help me unwind further afterwards. It was so touching and genuine. Good and kind hearted people run and work at Zen Blend. So I will keep referring friends (any husband who asks what to get his wife, I send here) and I will continue treating myself to Zen Blend. Love love love them!! read more

Yay! Kristi! She's wonderful, I have been visiting her for almost 3 years now and her set up is great. Wasn't sure about going to a house, but in the end, it's the most relaxed place I can imagine. She and her husband have a great aura, and wonderful energy about them. Not to sound too froofy, but seriously they do. Both are calm and have an ease about them. Kristi does a fantastic job. Her technique, well her hands just know where to go. I get 100-120 minute massages with her and while that is usually enough, I don't want it to end when I go here! The table is the most comfortable I've ever been on. She has an amethyst padding, thing... no idea what it's called, but ask her about it. It works. I'm not 100% on mineral therapy, but have to say, she's made me a believer. If massage isn't enough, you should do the double session. One person gets a massage while the other floats in the flotation tank, then you switch. The flotation tank setup is great. Again, all in the house, but you feel like you're in your own private hideaway (in South Austin :)) Check it out, you'll sublimely be glad you did. read more

I booked my husband and I the "Bliss" Couples Massage as a gift to us and boy I made the right choice! Our massage specialists were Amber and Annette. I had Annette and I cannot remember a recent time I felt so clear-headed and truly blissful, she is extremely talented and an expert at her trade. My husband said that Amber was able to feel his problem spots and really go to work at them, even without him having to say where they were. Clearly both ladies are very knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. A+ massage, A+ atmosphere, and A+ massage package. Don't skip out on the hot stones! read more

I've tried a dozen massage places and this by far is the best massage I have ever gotten! Highly recommended. The location is in a residential neighborhood and makes it feel very nice and homey. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Everything was absolutely perfect from booking the appointment, to checkin, to massage to check out. My partner and I decided on the 2 hour couples package with the amethyst crystal mat treatment time in addition to the massage and I can say is WOW! I cannot wait to go back. I never want to be massaged by anyone else.... ever. Try this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is magical! I have been floating and getting massages there for years now and simply cant even say enough about the total experience! The vibe is very "Zen" and the experience is first class from the scheduling and website surfing to the service and total experience! I wish I could go daily, but time and money wont allow. You have likely tried others, but you have to check this place out! Don't be scared to try the float tank, it is the closest thing you will find to the fountain of youth! -Josh read more

I am a Massage Therapist as well and I have to say Kristi is my secret!! Not really I brag about Zen Blend all the time! I can not say enough about the services! I Have had many sessions and floats with Kristi and brought people with me, give gifts of ZenBlend as a thank you..Kristi is held in Very High Regard! When I need to relax I go to Zen Blend, Decompress - ZenBlend. Get my Float on - Zen Blend! Get my Knots worked out - Hot Stone me at Zen Blend!! Its incredibly peaceful, Kristi is incredibly talented! I'm lucky I live far enough away or I would worry I would be in competition for business! Zen Blend is not just for special days...I recommend this location very much and if you know me, that says alot because I am very hard when it comes to massage work and touch... So worth taking time out to enjoy!!! Thank you Kristi for making every time at your location enjoyable and unique! read more

Was in Austin a few backs and had an awesome hot stone massage at ZenB. Have had some great hot stone in the past and some not so great. Stacy was excellent! Right amount of pressure, and great balance between relaxation and therapy! read more

By far the best massage I have ever had! Everything from the environment to the massage itself. The environment is dark, relaxing, and very inviting. The therapist are extremely friendly and welcoming. I loved the aroma of the rooms and the hot stone part of the massage was very relaxing and a new experience for me. I will be back with my husband for a couples massage! read more

Exactly what I was looking for !!! I travel a lot for my job and I always like to treat my self to a massage or spa day anytime I spend more that a few days in one city. I've had everything from basic Swedish to "the works" at some of the finest spas in the country and I consider myself a bit of a expert in the field. I typically rely on reviews to help me decide where to go and when I read all the great reviews from the Google map, I just had to give this place a try (I must admit I was a bit skeptical that any place could be that great). My Zen Blend experience was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was exceptional, the massage was hands down the BEST I've ever had and Kristi was a pleasure to talk with. If you're in Austin and you're looking for a great little getaway, do yourself a favor and give them a call. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Zen Blend for our 1st anniversary. This experience was a first for both of us - neither of us had ever had a professional massage before, and let me tell you... it was amazing. The atmosphere of the whole place was so great, and Kristi was very easy to talk to. We decided to go the distance and get the couples package (hour massage and hour in the floatation tank for each of us). Neither of us loved the tank, but that's a person-to-person thing. I mean, it was relaxing after a while, but it took a bit to actually get relaxed while being completely isolated. The massage was amazing - it relieved so much stress, and while I don't really have anything else to compare it to, we will definitely be back. read more

Go!! Go now!! You have to check out Zen Blend. My boyfriend and I just had the "Relaxation Day for Two" at the Maltese Cross location. This is what was included in our particular package: How does it work? - While one person is receiving their tension melting Hot Stone Zen Massage, the other person enjoys a hour of blissful peace & quiet in the weightless environment of the Floatation tank (then you switch). How long does it last? - The entire relaxation experience lasts about 3 hours and includes shower time for the Floatation Tank and a relaxing cup of your choice of Three Zen Blend Herbal Teas accompanied by Ghirardelli chocolate after your relaxation session. How much does it cost? - Because the Massages and Floats occur at the same time, we are able to offer this service for a great price. The total cost is $265.00 and includes Two Zen Massages, Two Floats and all the enlightenments. The "Enlightenments" are some special extras that are all included in this package. Just imagine it, when you first climb under the sheets on that amazingly comfortable massage table, you notice your entire core warm up. This is the "Bio Mat" which is placed in-noticeably somewhere under the sheets so that there are no lumps in the table or anything. (There must be some kind of witchcraft going on there. haha) It uses infrared heat, and has amethyst crystals embedded in it. Go to their site for more info on that one. Before I get to the next part I just want to say, Amber.. Amber.. you have no idea how much you helped me, physically and mentally. This lovely lady is very skilled. She has the innate ability to find every one of your trouble spots. You can choose from a variety of aromatherapy oils for your massage. Lemongrass is my absolute favorite. After you get one area massaged, she busts out the hot stones. OMG the hot stones. I was almost drooling on myself at this point. First you get massaged with the stones, and then she returns for fresh hot stones, and fresh steam towels. After the hot stone and steam towel treatment, prepare yourself for the awesome, unexpected chill of the peppermint foot massage. (Keep in mind, you've just had a hot stone massage and steam towels wrapped around each foot for a few. HEAVEN! Now FLOAT!! Well, shower first of course, then brace yourself for a one-of-a-kind experience! Brian was very helpful and courteous in explaining the entire float process. You can float in the sensory deprivation chamber with or without music, and if you're a little nervous your first time, you can leave the door open. I'm an all or nothing type, myself. This being my first time, I plugged my ears and climbed into the chamber. Once the door was closed, you're in complete darkness. The only sound is the sound of your own breathing and your heartbeat. For the first few minutes, you may feel yourself spinning although you're just floating there. I felt like I'd been returned to the womb. To keep myself from drifting into random thoughts, I would just repeat, in my mind, the words "I AM". It's whatever works for you. After a few minutes, I had to consciously blink to know whether or not my eyes were open. It's humid enough to just stare into empty space without it hurting your eyes. (Just don't get that water in there!!) It's different for everyone, but I saw things. I saw.. purple.. Just shades of purple moving across my vision, then I would see black figures, people, random shapes, and a door. There were some intermittent sparks of other colors, but it's different for everyone. I suddenly feel like painting! When the float is over, you'll hear some soothing music to let you know it's time to exit the chamber. Careful on this one! Sitting up was like raising yourself out of wet concrete (but in a good way). That door is heavy, and the tank is slippery, so really, be careful. I was pushed back into the tank by the weight of the door, and just had to laugh at myself. Take a minute to get your bearings, and you'll be fine, and take your time. They're not going to come yell at you to move your booty out the tank. Now, shower and head down for some delicious tea and Ghirardelli chocolates, and some stimulating conversation with your host or hostess. We will absolutely be back!! And, that's an hour drive for us. Don't care! Worth it!! We love you guys! You have a beautiful establishment! read more

After 3 days at a trade-show in Tampa, I found myself at the airport, feet mangled, back sore and dreaming of a massage. After searching online, I came across the reviews for Zenblend and decided to give it a chance. They had an opening an hour after I would land back in Austin! Once I arrived, I entered into a peaceful cocoon of Himalayan Salt Crystals, sweet smells of lavender and complete and utter serenity. Stacy was incredible... she knew the right amount of pressure for my already-inflamed back muscles. Honestly, one of the best massages of my life. The post-massage tea and chocolate was a fine touch. It enabled me to peacefully re-enter reality... I will be back again! read more

I've had *a lot* of massages and this, by far, was the best massage I've ever had. Kristi was amazing - highly intuitive. She goes all out - aromatherapy with 5 different options to choose from, super comfortable heated table, hot stones, tea, chocolates - and let's not forget the floatation tank! I've never floated before and I loved it. Super relaxing, I feel like a million bucks. I will be doing this regularly. Absolutely amazing experience!! read more

This place is amazing! Hands down one, if not THE, best massages I've ever received. I'm extremely picky when it comes to massages but I was nothing but impressed with the service I received. Can not wait to schedule my next massage! read more

With my curiosity about sensory deprivation/flotation tanks growing over the past few years, I finally decided to book a session at Zen Blend. My partner and I both enjoyed the massage/float combination, although I think receiving the massage before floating (as I did) would probably be the preferred sequence. The session with Kristi was very relaxing; the addition of hot stones and a heated table to the soothing massage enhanced my increasingly calm, contented state. The transition upstairs to the shower and tank was smooth and the slight anxiety I felt about being enclosed in the small dark space vanished as soon as I lied back and felt my body supported in the buoyant saltiness. I had opted for an initial period of music within the tank (as a potential buffer for my anxiety), however, I think I will ask for silence right from the beginning the next time I float, to allow more time for my thoughts/mind to drift without any aural distraction. (Side note: the "Waves" soundtrack that signaled the end of my float came on at a particularly loud section of the music -- a bit jarring after 40+ minutes of silence. Perhaps the Didgeridoo music that was also offered might be the better choice.) Zen Blend was highly recommended to me by a friend who had frequented other flotation tanks, in Austin as well as other parts of the country. The whole experience was pleasurable, from Brian's thoughtful answers while I was scheduling the session to the chocolates and tea afterwards. The only downside was the location, which is too far south for me to ride my bike. In the future, I'll definitely allow enough time to walk awhile along the trails at Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park (located 1/2 block from the home-based business) before driving back home. In my very relaxed state, a few more moments acclimating to the outside world before operating a vehicle would be prudent! read more

This was our first time getting a couples massage and it was heaven! Amber and Stacey made us feel completely comfortable. Not to mention they were both very personable and made us feel welcome from the time we got there to the time we left. The next time we come out to Austin we hope to schedule another appointment. You'd be lucky to have either Amber or Stacey as your massage therapist. We are hooked! read more

Had a great massage today with Stacey. The hot stones and general vibe of the place were great. Stacey took extra time before and after the massage to make sure I was completely satisfied. Which I was! I will definitely be back for more and recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a great massage. read more
