Applied Somatic Therapy

Adelyn Botto brings over 30 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist specializing in MyoFascial Release, Structural Bodywork, and Craniosacral Therapy. Through her practice, Applied Somatic Therapy, she helps clients address the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than just treating symptoms.

Adelyn’s somatic approach to bodywork helps clients develop greater body awareness and understand how their systems have adapted to stress, injury, or trauma. Her integrative techniques are effective for a wide range of conditions including chronic pain, headaches, mobility issues, anxiety, TMJ dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation.

Her therapeutic goal extends beyond the treatment room – she aims to empower clients with personalized resources that support continued healing and self-regulation in their daily lives.

Integrative Psychotherapist & Relationship Counselor @ Head + Heart Integrative Psychotherapy

Are you ready to navigate the challenges of being human with greater resilience? As an integrative psychotherapist and relationship counselor, I specialize in supporting adults, couples, and groups to heal relationships on all levels. Including their relationships with stress, chronic illness/pain, family of origin issues, and trauma.

Combining research-informed practices with revolutionary brain + relationship science, I work from an integrative “head + heart” approach that incorporates mind, body, and spirit to help you increase resilience, release emotional baggage, and ignite holistic healing. Hence, the name of my practice – Head + Heart Integrative Psychotherapy. I believe that only by working from a holistic perspective can we truly experience deep healing and lasting change.

My practice of psychotherapy and counseling integrates relationship science (Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy), neuroscience (Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Somatic therapy, EMDR therapy, depth psychology and parts work, and trauma-informed interventions.

I am now accepting new clients for secure online therapy for Texas residents and offer free 15 min phone consults. You can learn more about me and my practice at www.headandheart-therapy.com

LMT, CLT @ MetroMassage

I have been a practicing LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) in Austin for 23 years. I have worked in a number of wonderful Austin establishments, from Chiropractors, to 5 Star Resort & Spas, and 2 years at the University of Texas Football Program!

After having suffered very serious illness myself, that ultimately led to a Liver Transplant in November of 2015, I have come alive again. I have a new mission in my professional life, and that is to transform my Massage Career into truly helping others (and “paying it forward”), by obtaining the certifications required for Medical Massage, Oncology Massage & Lymphatic Drainage.

My training began in the Fall of 2016 for Oncology Massage: Caring for Patients with Cancer, and then moved ahead into the training for ‘Manual Lymphatic Drainage’ & ‘Certified Lymphedema Therapy’ ~ earning certifications in all.

These experiences have led me to what is now my “Passion Project” ~ working with a variety of people in all walks of life. I am now working with patients In all stages of cancer treatment & survivorship, also those suffering from lymphedema.

I have worked directly in infusion rooms, both at Texas Oncology and Austin Cancer Center, as well as Breast Cancer Resource Center.

Who can benefit from Medical Massage & Lymphatic Drainage?

• Pre- & post operative surgery
• Reduce post surgical swelling and pain
• Oncology patients – before, during & after treatment
• Cancer related lymphedema
• Boost the body’s ability to detoxify
• Headaches/migraines
• Sports injuries
• Soft tissue strains or injury
• Chronic pain (back/shoulder/neck)
• Decrease blood pressure
• Increase range of motion
• Digestive Disorders
• Satisfaction in participating actively in a part of the healing process.
• Decrease anxiety

Receiving a lymphatic massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can achieve even more. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you will be through the years. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat, does not mean that it is any less therapeutic. Consider making lymphatic massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.

Lymphatic massage is a light, rhythmic, manual therapy that uses a specific stretch-and-release skin technique. Clients become very relaxed during their treatments, feeling a sense of calm and relaxation that normally occurs with other types of massage – even when very tender from current surgical procedures.

My private practice now includes Office Hours at Cancer Rehab and Integrative Medicine (CRIM) in Central Austin.
