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.

Owners @ Round Rock Health & Wellness, LLC

Massage, chiropractic and acupuncture

We founded Round Rock Health & Wellness Center in 2004 with a dream of offering a wide variety of natural health services to help our community to heal and be well.

What started out as a facility that offers massage and counseling services has grown into a full wellness center offering a variety of natural health services. We currently offer massage, chiropractic and acupuncture and are always on the lookout for new services to offer.

Hi, I’m Laura Ann, Life Coach, Wellness Coach and Massage Therapist. As a young woman I was on a serious mission to feel good. I was a master escape artist! From myself and my past trauma, from the world, from pain and discomfort. For more than half my life I was escaping in one form or another, all to avoid looking within myself and feeling/dealing with what I found. It is a miracle I survived the experience.

Finding and pursuing my passion for the healing arts ultimately helped me learn how to love myself, how to release and heal through my past experiences. Today, I am more at peace within myself and more fulfilled in my life than I ever dreamed possible. I have been sober for over a year. Every day I wake up filled with gratitude, for I am living the soul aligned life of my dreams.

As a Life and Wellness Coach it is my joy to be a guide on this journey of well-being for others. My coaching combines inner work with strategies and techniques intended to empower you in breaking through your own blocks so you can manifest the life of YOUR dreams.

Laura is the Owner and Primary Practitioner for Elevate Holistics, a holistic spa in South Austin specializing in bodywork and skincare. Her intuitive healing and natural desire to care for others keeps her client-focused and striving to be a leader in women’s wellness. In addition to practicing massage since 2008, she graduated from the Aveda Institute and interned at a holistic spa to learn about a more natural approach to skincare.

Taking a “whole client” approach to bodywork, she addresses physical and emotional factors to facilitate the most positive results. She strives to make her studio a safe space for healing on all levels and especially loves caring for pregnant and postpartum women. A mother, musician, and a writer, she works to live her best life and help others do the same.

Owner / Practitioner @ EarthSkyBodyworks.net

Lauren’s attuned and sensitive approach to healing through Craniosacral Therapy is supported by more than twenty years of experience and specialization within the fields of embodiment and somatic practices. She assists clients in learning to speak and understand the language of the body, inviting them to come into a state of presence where they learn to notice sensation, feelings and at times subtle shifts within. It is in this place of presence where the healing process can really flourish – a process that is not as linear as it is circular or cyclical. Lauren works with clients who come in for treatment with a wide range of symptoms including anxiety and depression, car accident injuries, post-concussion syndrome, acute and chronic illness, post-Covid symptoms to relational, emotional and physical trauma.

Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive form of therapy. It is a gentle modality that nevertheless can work quite powerfully with restoring balance to the nervous system, and also ultimately works with all of the body systems. With respect for the inherent intelligence of the body, Lauren partners with each client to support their unique tempo and pace through the course of treatment. This relationship that develops with her clients is essential, as it establishes a ground for trust and safety, creating a relational field in which the body can reorganize, repair and heal naturally. Lauren brings warmth, openness, curiosity and empathetic listening to support this process. We are by our very biology, relational creatures and Lauren delights in partnering with clients on this journey. If you are thirsty for a more intimate relationship with yourself and your body; are ready to release old tension patterns that are no longer serving you; and open to investigating this process through your inner experience of felt sense sensations and feelings; and are looking for support in this endeavor, then she would love to support you.

Lauren is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST), Licensed Manual Therapist (LMT), she also holds an MFA in dance/interdisciplinary arts. She is also an advanced level certified Pilates teacher. She also teaches and facilitates a range of movement classes and workshops (now online) in Contemplative Dance /Authentic Movement practice as well as other movement modalities. Her practice in somatic therapies coexists with her other creative endeavors as a dance artist & dance maker, qi gong enthusiast, meditator, lover of the desert, amateur singer and filmmaker.

I sincerely enjoy helping people achieve balance, peace and relaxation in their bodies with Massage Therapy and when needed, the added extra of energy work with Reiki. I genuinely take pride in my work.

I have enjoyed being a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 23 years, a Reiki Practitioner for 20 years with Master Level training, and an Esthetician for 6 years. I began my career in New Hampshire where I attended the New Hampshire Institute of Therapeutic Arts, I studied Usui Ryoho Reiki in California working in California and Northern Nevada for many years. My life path brought me to Austin where I have studied Esthetics, Usui Reiki Holy Fire and Animal Reiki.

I am thrilled to live in Texas and look forward to working with you soon.

Owner/Operator @ Austin Massage Company

Sports Massage Specialist

Michelle Hittner’s own diverse athletic background gives her a discernable edge over other massage therapists. An avid cyclist, runner and triathlete who enjoys Crossfit just as much as a fun pub run, she knows that advising a client to “just take time off” to rest is not always an option for elite or high performing athletes.

Michelle’s knowledge of body dynamics and mechanics, combined with her first-hand experience in races and boot-camp workouts give her clients the best of both worlds: a therapist who can maximize performance potential, reduce pain, help rehabilitate an injury and provide the relaxing perfection of stress relief.

Professional musicians experience repetitive movement strain just as athletes do, and Michelle has been addressing their massage needs regularly backstage at Austin City Limits Festival, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and Lollapalooza.

She has an extensive work history in therapeutic massage, sports massage, myofascial release, prenatal massage and pain management.

Michelle tailors each session to meet the personal needs of the client, with the ultimate goal of wellness, longevity and rejuvenation.
