Austin Ashiatsu

Massage Therapist

In 2008, I had my first ashiatsu massage and I was amazed at the sustained deep work. I felt the thick shell on my shoulders crack open and release! As a Chinese medicine practitioner and deep tissue massage specialist, I am always seeking to expand my knowledge, so I signed up for the first ashiatsu training I could find! I spent the next 5 years developing the deep tissue style we call Ashiatsu Therapeutic Massage. Read more

    This place gives foot massage a whole new meaning! This was my first ashiatsu massage and my first cupping as well - I have to say, I may never go back. Sarah was absolutely amazing. She was in tune with what I needed, and the broader but firm strokes offered surprising relief to my tense neck, shoulder and back. ... I don't think I can ever go without it again. Already planning my next massage with Sarah this month and even though it's a little bit of a splurge, it is absolutely worth it.

    I would give them 7369415832 stars if I could. BTW, it is review #100!!! Yeah! I really admire Cathy's work. She inspires me. I am also a Licensed Massage Therapist, specialized in Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, so I know what it should feel like & how it is done. I received my first Ashi from them years ago & was in love with it. I wish we lived closer to get Ashi from Cathy & her team more often. I have received a few massages at Austin Ashiatsu & it has always been great. BTW, I am picky & will pay the price & go out of my way to get a good massage, seriously. :) They are very skilled & professional. I can't recommend them enough. As much as they don't need my review, I am happy to write it & share with all of you who understand, appreciate & value a great professional massage. Cathy, I love seeing your progress & success. Our industry needs more inspiring people like you. Your hard work has paid off. You have built a great team. Cheers!

    Much Love & Gratitude,

    From the warm and friendly greeting to the session itself, it was a deeply enjoyable and healing experience. Very open communication helped me voice some concerns that Cathy expertly heard and attended to. I've had some tightness on my right side that's affected everything all up and down my body and she worked a lot of it out in one session! That's usually unheard of for me. The amount of pressure was just right and it felt oh-so-good. Highly recommend!!!

    Everything about Austin Ashiatsu is exceptional. It's incredibly easy to book, the administrative staff is so warm and friendly, and the massage is beyond compare. I joke that I grow 3 inches every time I go in for a massage. The therapists' ability to get so deep into the larger muscle groups makes this the most relaxing and therapeutic massage I have ever had!

    I had a lovely massage with Mandy today with chakra balancing. I love the location, as I am east and it's nice not to have to go west or downtown. The service was uber professional while remaining cozy and personal. The massage was incredible. I highly recommend.
