Instructors are very well educated and are very generous sharing their knowledge and experience with students. I felt the curriculum was structured to give me the best opportunity to be a well-rounded massage therapist. The education here enabled me to pass the MBLEx national licensing examination on the first try and I am now in process to obtain my Texas license. The clinic may be the best part of the experience, giving exposure to a variety of real-world clients and scenarios. The clinic director has a wealth of knowledge and skills and is a tremendous resource for students. The 60 minute massages on offer to the public for only $55 is the biggest bargain in Austin! If you're considering a career in massage therapy, this is the best place to go in Texas. Highly recommended.

It is a no-frills experience, but I've never had a bad massage here. I've had a few that were not amazing, but the great ones outweigh the mediocre. And with prices like this, I can come once a month! The massages happen in one big room with each massage bed, separated by hospital curtains. So you are near other people getting massaged, but you don't see them during the process and they don't see you. Times can be limited, depending on how many students are at this phase of their schooling. So please do give this a try but don't tell too many people or I won't be able to get my monthly massage in :)

I used to get massages on a regular basis but fell off the massage wagon. A friend of mine highlighted that she has gotten massages once a month for the last 14 years. I was definitely behind the 8 ball on massages. My friend's long-term revelation was eye-opening, so I decided to get a massage today with Green Care Massage, which is located on W. Parmer, next door to Tomo Sushi. My massage choice was a deep tissue massage. Those polls are not for curtains!!! When my massage therapist asked me could she work on my back, I thought, I said yes. What she actually said was can I "walk" on your back. In my head, I was thinking why do her hands feel like feet...because they were feet! Snappity, snap, snap...I was getting a full on Ashiatsu massage (also known as back walking massage or barefoot massage). If you are not aware, Ashiatusu is a technique where the massage therapist uses their feet to apply deep pressure while holding onto overhead bars for balance and control. The word "Ashiatsu" is a Japanese word meaning (ashi=foot and atsu= pressure.) Apparently, my back was so tight I needed Ashiatsu first. My massage beginning to end was incredibly effective and rejuvenating experience. From the moment the session began, it was clear the massage therapist was highly skilled and knew her craft. The deep, slow strokes and focused techniques worked through my knots and tight muscles, especially in my back and legs. While there were moments of intensity that you would expect with deep tissue work, it was never painful (pressure...no pain). Afterward my body felt like it had exhaled and breathing fresh air.... well worth the time and money. I could feel the tension evaporating with each targeted movement. It is important note, I felt soreness in my neck and back during the massage that I did know existed previously. After the massage session, I noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and range of motion. My usual stiffness had disappeared. I do not know if I will get a massage once a month, but I certainly will not wait too long before another one.

This review is based more on the school then the massage/ therapist it's self. I will also…read moreapologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes. I have severe dyslexia Went in for a 60/50 minute session as Intake is part of your 60 minutes. I liked my therapist she was kind and very sweet, however I will not be returning. I myself am a licensed Massage Therapist and visit massage schools every now and then. They are cheaper than any other places around, and I enjoy being able to help and direct future therapists. (Most schools give you a evaluation form to fill out, critiquing the therapist on how they did.) When I was in school I often found that most people would give 5 stars even if the massage wasn't great. And I always appreciated when someone would actually critique me. The only way to learn is by feedback from others. With that being said I felt sorry for my therapist. I usually ask how for along they are in the program. This gives me an idea of what I should expect. She informed me that she was finished with her program and only needed to complete her clinic hours. I wasn't expecting the greatest massage in the world but definitely was hoping for better then what I got. When I arrived no one was there. My appointment was at 12 and I arrived at 11:45 so I would have time to fill out my intake form. I went in and then stepped back outside due to no one being there. I waited a few minutes and a man finally came up the stairs to great me. I filled out my intake form very basic. I was looking just to relax so didn't have much to write. My therapist arrived shortly after me and took me back to the treatment room. Usually there is a verbal intake done by the therapist, just asking about pressure, type of massage requested, focus areas or places to avoid. However she didn't ask me any questions or direct me in anyway on if she wanted me face down or up. Or even where to put my things. She just told me to let her know when I was ready and closed the door. Once I was on the table she came back into the room and started the massage. After starting she asked me what I wanted to focus on. I simply replied that I had no focus areas and just wanted to relax, but if she wanted to spend a little more time on my back that was fine. She proceeded to massage my back and it was relaxing for the most part. Something we focus on in massage is "Flow" or moving from one part of the body to another in away that makes sense or feels good to the client. Her back routine felt more repetitive then I would have liked. She kept moving from my left side of my back to the right, back to the left then back to the right. Kind of like she was just repeating the same routine multiple times to kill time. I could tell she was spending way to much time on my back and figured I wouldn't be receiving a full body massage as I expected. Once she completed my back she then moved on to my legs, draping could have been better. It didn't feel super secure, and I could tell she wasn't 100% confident yet in her draping techniques. She also didnt have good flow on my legs. She started on my calf, then did my foot, and then did the upper part of my leg. Once she completed both of my legs she informed me she was finished and my time was up. So I only got half a massage. Usually when we do "half massages" we do upper body or lower body. This is not meant to hate on my therapist. She was lovely and I hope she continues to learn and grow. My review is on the school. At This part in the program the therapist should have been more prepared. The school should have prepared her to see clients. It's obvious that the school hasn't gone over proper intake for therapists and guests. And I don't believe that the school has prepared this therapist at all. I truly feel bad for her. Knowing that she paid so much money to receive an education that was supposed to prepare her. I hope she gets a job somewhere that helps her learn and grow as an LMT. I definitely believe she has the potential to a wonderful LMT given the proper training and instruction.

We were abruptly canceled as a client with no explanation. My wife and I began regularly scheduling…read moreappointments since first going to AMA this summer. We have been long-time valued clients at other Austin-area massage schools in the past. Without any explanation, AMA staff was a complete no-show for an appointment. The door was unlocked, but no one was there. When we called to reschedule, Travis curtly told me that we were not a good fit for their clientele and they would no longer accept our reservation requests. When asked why he offered no explanation. I pressed him and he would not offer any reason. We're seniors who enjoy couples massage sessions to relieve stress, increase flexibility and basic self-care. We are puzzled and greatly disappointed by the lack of professionalism in denying us future access with no reason given. At this point, we strongly recommend looking elsewhere. That's very disappointing as we looked forward to our sessions there. However, rudeness of this kind should not be rewarded with repeat business or referrals. Loyal, repeat, courteous customers deserve respect and better treatment than this. Ever hopeful, and willing to offer AMA a second chance, we are open to revisiting and reconsidering their decision, and explaining their actions. Hopefully, this is all an unfortunate misunderstanding that can someday be resolved. We're standing by...

Don't be fooled by this 5 star review. Here's a list of things that totally went wrong (service AND…read moremassage-wise) and the only thing the staff could say was "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do" or "I"m sorry but I wasn't here for that" 1. Book reservation for my husband and myself incorrectly (asked for 90min but booked for 60min) 2. Had to call back to confirm correct length of time for massage (upon reading confirmation text). 3. Got a call at 9pm (woke baby up) to tell me that they couldn't confirm a 90 minutes reservation for my husband because the masseuse may or may not be able to do a 90 minute massage. (Turns out the masseuse had an injury and they weren't sure if she could do a 90minute) 4. Husband's masseuse (the one with the injury) didn't ask him how the pressure was even ONCE and barely applied any pressure. If your staff is injured, then they really shouldn't be performing massages. We were on vacation and this was supposed to be our special treat. It turns out it was the catalyst for ruining on morning and day. Also, FYI. the location is SUPER hidden (which staff should really let people know, especially when they say they're from out of town). Miss the street and it will take you another 5-10 minutes to get back around.

It had actually been almost 5 years since I had last seen her and after a recent apartment move, I needed her services for my aching body! It was like visiting an old friend and I remembered just how awesome of a person she is and that I should not have let so much time go by without visiting her. A mistake I will try to not repeat even though I have to leave Austin temporarily. She is able to provide the most gentle touch, as well as deep therapeutic pressure for those stubborn knots that don't work with anything else. I have always felt that her skills make me feel relaxed even though I need her stronger touch throughout the session at some points. Her massage room is super cozy and will help you feel completely at ease. Oh, and one final note for those that are more self conscious or don't like to bare all of their goodies! Susanna let's you undress to your level of comfort and always provides a blanket to keep you covered regardless of how bare you go! Don't worry about leaving all oily either. She uses only the best and always wipes any excess allowing anyone to leave like a smooth zombie needing a ride home or at least a few minutes in the parking lot to gather the senses! Try her out. You can thank me later!

Basically she's very friendly but a consummate professional that can read her customers cues very well. Though she is trained and highly experienced, Susanna seems to often take continuing education courses to increase her knowledge or add another specialty - I really appreciate that! Look into her monthly membership to get the best deal. Try out the hot stone treatment, just did my first one recently and it was neat and really kept me focused on being grounded in my body and that moment because the hot stones kept being introduced to new areas as she progressed with the massage. I just can't say enough about Susanna, she's a salt of the earth type person and highly skilled at her craft!

She's been a pillar in supporting my body's alignment and ability to heal through everything from chronic pain & autoimmune issues, to pregnancy & postpartum, to acute injuries & post-surgical recovery, and I will forever shout my recommendation of her work from the rooftops! I still remember how my first session with her changed my perspective of body work and helped me attune to the profound impact that even the seemingly most subtle of shifts can make. Her understanding of the interconnectedness of the body, intuitive knowing of what the body needs most in the moment, and the combination of techniques she incorporates make for a deeply restorative experience that I truly believe is one of the best investments I continue to make in my well-being. I often tell her that she has such a unique & incredible gift, and that a session with her feels like a deep unwinding & recalibration, both on a physical and energetic level. What I also love is how she often has great feedback and insights as to how I can continue to support myself in alleviating alignment issues or injuries through things like stretches, posture awareness, or at home tools so that the relief & results are more sustainable. Prior to working with Ashlie I had only experienced the type of massages you'd receive in a spa-like setting (which can be great, don't get me wrong), but this is not that, and in the best way possible.. that is better experienced than explained! I promise that your body will thank you for giving yourself the gift of a session with her!
