About

Training at Steiner Academy in Arlington taught me that massage therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all service. It's a conversation between two people, where listening matters as much as technique. Over seven years working with clients across Austin and the surrounding areas, I've learned that the best sessions happen when we take time upfront to understand what your body needs and what you're hoping to feel afterward.

I came to this work partly through my own experience as a professional dancer dealing with chronic pain. I felt firsthand how skilled bodywork can shift not just muscle tension but your whole sense of ease in daily life. That understanding shapes everything I do now. I work with deep tissue, myofascial release, shiatsu, and conscious breathwork, blending them based on what I find in your body and what you tell me you need.

What I'm always building toward is creating a space where your mind and body can truly settle. That calmness doesn't have to end when you leave the table. I often share techniques and breathing exercises that extend the benefits into your week, so you're not just getting a massage, you're learning how to carry that relief forward. Whether you come to my studio in Austin or I meet you at your home within my 25-mile radius, my intention is the same: to facilitate real comfort, healing, and the kind of rest that helps you show up better in your life.

The session was wonderful and I'm very pleased with the results. I'd forgotten how rejuvenating massage can be for body and mind. Your pressure was firm yet intuitive. You created a truly warm and peaceful environment. I'm excited for our next appointment.

Hemasseur's Take

Clients consistently describe LJ's work as deeply intuitive and skillfully responsive, with sessions that produce lasting effects including better sleep, sustained calm throughout the day, and genuine relief from tension. What stands out across reviews is his combination of technical skill, genuine care for the craft, and attentiveness to communication and comfort—he takes time to explain what he's doing and ensures clients feel safe and respected throughout. Long-term clients return year after year, noting that each session feels personalized and that his touch balances strength with sensitivity in ways that address both immediate pain and deeper patterns.
