After a fairly intense workout Friday, I woke on Saturday with severe tightness, as well as pain…read moreand immobility in my left arm, neck, shoulders and lower back. As I had a very important business meeting scheduled on Monday morning, I needed some massage therapy to loosen me up and ease the pain a bit. I found myself in Round Rock running errands, and since my regular therapist in Cedar Park was unavailable, I decided to do a quick, local search on Yelp. I contacted Kelly's business, and after explaining my situation, she was nice enough to extend her regular hours a bit to accommodate me with an appointment. And, what a wonderful session it was! Kelly utilized a combination of modalities with increasing pressure while intuitively making adjustments based on my body's response. She expertly worked out the knots, alleviated my pain and increased my range of motion in all the stubborn trouble spots. I was impressed and grateful to experience Kelly's level of skill and will most definitely be back! Thanks again, Kelly!

Kelly is AMAZING at what she does! I came in with extreme back pain that other massage therapists…read morehadn't been able to do anything for at all. Kelly not only alleviated a huge amount of my pain; she also told me what else I could do to continue healing and fix the issue long-term. It was the best massage I have ever had. I encourage anyone who's looking for a massage therapist that they can trust and feel comfortable and confident in working with to go see Kelly. She loves what she does and it shows!! I won't be going anywhere else!!

Sandy Burton has the BEST hands I have ever felt smoothing out the tight muscles, knots and…read morepressure points in my body. While I filled out some paperwork, she asked if I had any injuries and where was I experiencing pain. We discussed the soreness I was having in my hams and problem areas and then it was time for my massage. She is very professional and cares about where you hurt. When my massage began, her hands heated up and became hot silky muscle-kneading devices. I relaxed so much that I turned into a blissful jelly-like flesh covered creature. And I drooled on her sheet. One hour was up way too soon. My muscles were smooth and all soreness was gone. Afterwards, she gave me a bottle of water and I was on my happier way. I recommend Sandy for whatever hurts.

(Albeit without saunas or facials.) Look for the house with a "Relax" sign out front, because there's no address on the house. I guess in some ways I kind of enjoyed the home treatment - I don't like awkwardly sitting around a spa waiting room, trying to decide whether I'm actually bored enough to try reading Cosmo. I very much enjoyed the massage - she doesn't use much oil, and really had an easier time working out trigger points with less pain for me than some of the other massage therapists I've had. She's definitely not an aggressive, physical, we-have-ways-of-making-you-talk sort of therapist, the touch was pretty light but effective. She was also very nice in extending the massage because we had been discussing the massage for five or ten minutes before I got on the table. In terms of music and aroma, it's pretty standard - some meditation music and a decent oil. Apparently some people like her dog to be in the room during the massage - I am not a dog person at all so I declined, but it was an interesting choice. She also has very inexpensive package deals for multiple massages. I guess the best recommendation is to say I've found my new massage therapist. :)

I…read moresqueezed in as many visits as I could throughout my pregnancy and I wish I had found her sooner. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable about how the body works, particularly in regards to pregnancy. She knew just where all the aches and pains were in my changing body and how to relieve them. Her set up of pillows and blankets ensured my comfort throughout the massage. After having our baby, I was sore from the birth, holding the baby, and breastfeeding. Michelle knew just where my pain was stemming from without me saying a word. She uses a ton of different techniques- massage, stretch, trigger, etc I always feel relief, my mobility and flexibility are improved, and I sleep better after seeing Michelle. Above and beyond the massage she is kind, supportive and encouraging of your journey.

Susanna was my "regular" masseuse when I was stationed up in Killeen and would visit Austin. She…read morealways made me feel comfortable and at ease and took the time to chat about me and my needs. 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!

Diving full swing into the whole massage therapy thing in 2012, so far I have met lot of very good…read moremassage therapists that do great work of which I would definitely recommend and go back. However, I can honestly say that Susanna at Escape Massage & Spa is the most thorough and hard-working massage therapist that I have experienced to date, hands down. I've been here twice now, the sessions are so extensive that I find my usual 15-20% tip range just isn't worthy, she deserves more, and I happily oblige. Here's why: - Her sessions are like a continuous methodical flow of kneading and massaging out the kinks with minimal stops and pauses. She has a great work ethic, I told her she's like the Energizer Bunny version of the wooden smiley-face massage roller - - keeps going and going.... - The Right Tools: She utilizes her hands, palms, fingertips, knuckles, and forearms to ensure you're getting the full blown arsenal. Her massage oil has no scent, doesn't stain your clothes, there's none of that excess greasy effect you feel at the end. She uses just enough to glide but not too slippery. - She always spends ample time on the trouble spots, in my case the lower left back and up along the spine, and yet she still makes the time to massage out the rest of your body. She doesn't cut you short. - Awesome foot massage. What an awesome job on the feet! I find most therapists skim it or do a half-ass job, but not Susanna - who's very thorough and consistent. She said she practices a lot on her mother , who formally requests it. - Overdelivers. In my two sessions (maybe it's luck or scheduling) she's gone well over our scheduled time and didn't make me feel rushed. I totally lost track of time and she genuinely wanted to make sure I felt like I got real therapy and was happy. - One of her customers nicknamed her the "spine-crusher", as her deep pressure is very effective yet she balances it out w/ the delicate to medium pressure which I generally prefer. - Great personality. Very positive, talkative, and makes you feel comfortable. She works on trying to establish a rapport and r-ship with her clients. - Toxin Avenger. I feel the full effect of the toxins being released after her massages. I'm usually in a trance-like state, I need a gallon of water to recuperate. If I had my date w/ me that would be the optimal time to take advantage and ask for my credit card to go shopping. Too eeeeasy. One caveat to know is the location and set-up, which is a room in the Day's Inn that's been converted into a massage studio. My first appointment I was thinking they had an actual spa and the works, but when I got there I was confused because I got directed to an actual room. Turns out she works at the Day's Inn full time in administration, got her LMT certification and worked w/ the hotel to convert a room into her 2nd job. It's well done, there's a quality massage table w/ warmer, bathroom w/ shower, a futon, music, humidifier. No dance floor or strobe-lights (sorry). It may not be the posh high-end-day-spa-look that some may appeal to, but I could care less. I'm there for a quality massage, not for interior design and decor, and it meets all of my requirements: clean, quiet, private, and comfortable. Her appointments are limited as she explained she paces herself to avoid potential for burn out, so she balances it w/ her other job. I can't say enough about Susanna's quality massage skills and customer service, she always goes above and beyond and that's more than worthy of a 5-star experience.

Once I got an email of the purchase, I checked out the website and intake/arrival Information. It was not listed anywhere that it would be at an actual apartment complex in a random apartment unit. All that is mentioned is that it was at the "Indigo community." Once I arrived and realized this I tried to cancel over the phone or at least reschedule so that I could bring my husband with me. I expressed that I didn't feel comfortable or safe going inside. I understand that a 24 hour notice is needed for cancellation though if they are not going to specify that the service is at a random apt complex and unit then they need to make an exception for those that don't feel safe.
