About

Training at The Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage in Austin taught me that every body tells a story. After 11 years of listening to those stories—watching tension release, witnessing people breathe deeply for the first time in months—I've learned that the best sessions aren't about following a script. They're about showing up fully and letting your body guide what happens next.

I work with clients who come in stressed, sore, or just needing to finally relax. Some days that means deep tissue work on tight shoulders. Other days it's flowing strokes paired with assisted stretching, or perhaps myofascial release for stubborn knots. I draw from aromatherapy, trigger point therapy, Thai massage, reiki, and more. The modality matters less than your actual result: feeling genuinely better when you leave.

My studio is tucked in a quiet Travis Heights neighborhood, less than five minutes from downtown Austin. It's private, calm, and designed so you can actually relax the moment you walk in. Low lighting, candles, soft surfaces. If you want something extra, I also offer private yoga instruction, meditation coaching, and a deep soak with salt scrubbing—something many of my regulars come back for specifically.

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted, and I work with clients at any stage of their vaccination journey. All are welcome here: whether you're male, female, non-binary, or part of the LGBTQ community, I'm here to listen to you and your body. If you're active military, a veteran, a massage therapist yourself, or a bodybuilder, I offer discounts because I believe in supporting people committed to their health.

Testimonials

Over several sessions with Chris, I've consistently experienced excellent work. His studio location in Travis Heights is convenient, set up as a peaceful massage room in his home with low light and candles creating a truly calming atmosphere. Chris shows genuine respect and strong attentiveness to what each client needs, and I've found that when I let him follow his intuition, every session becomes something unique. His combination of long, flowing movements, assisted stretches, and various bodywork methods leaves me completely at ease. The warm soak and salt scrub afterward are an added luxury. Highly recommended.

I came to Chris with significant stress and tension in my back, and he delivered remarkable results. He took his time and didn't rush anything, focusing his attention precisely on the areas holding the most tension. With 20 years of massage experience under my belt, I can say this was genuinely among the best sessions I've ever received. I've made monthly appointments with him ever since.

Hemasseur's Take

Clients consistently highlight Chris's ability to listen closely and customize sessions to their specific needs, leaving them deeply relaxed and tension-free. His calm studio environment, attentiveness, and blend of flowing strokes with targeted bodywork—plus his popular salt scrub and soaking bath—stand out as reasons people return monthly. Even experienced massage clients report his work ranks among the best they've ever received.
