Description

Knee, hip and low back pain relief for women. Austin Living Massage uses Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage techniques.

Great experience and awesome massage!


Jan 30, 2025

I had never experienced Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage until I booked a session with Lakshmi. I loved the massage and felt great afterward. Lakshmi constantly checked with me to make sure the pressure wasn’t too much or too little. Great experience!


Jan 23, 2025

I am not a massage girly, but I always have back and hip pain from sitting at work, so I gave Lakshmi’s ashiatsu a try. Lakshmi is so nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She even gave me tips on how to help myself post-massage. And I feel so much better after just one session. I wish I would’ve booked the 120 minute option. Would highly suggest!!


Jan 06, 2025

Absolutely the best massage I’ve ever had. I came away feeling relaxed in both the low back buttocks, hips, and thighs. I could not have asked for better care.Lakshmi Is a miracle worker and I will definitely be back

I had an incredible experience at Austin Living Massage! Lakshmi is an exceptionally skilled massage therapist who made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. Her Ashiatsu barefoot massage technique was a game-changer—she used deep, slow strokes with her feet to target tension in my glutes and hamstrings from boxing and running, and the results were unlike any massage I’ve had before. Lakshmi is attentive and thoughtful, always checking in to ensure the pressure is perfect. She even identified unexpected jaw tension and explained how it might be connected to my pelvic floor, which was interesting. The setting is calm and inviting, with beautiful views off 360 that add to the relaxing atmosphere. This was hands-down the best massage I’ve ever had. I highly recommend Lakshmi and Austin Living Massage, especially for active women dealing with tight muscles!


Jan 06, 2025

I loved the Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage from Lakshmi, and had the best night sleep afterwards. Her perfect pressure and control helped release my back & hip both gently and effectively. Lakshmi also took the time to understand how my body responded to the amazing massage that felt like a deep release. She is very attentive and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend a massage from Lakshmi. And the space is beautiful!


Jan 06, 2025

Wow! My body feels so amazing after that amazing bodywork session! Lakshmi has such a healing touch . So skillful. Perfect amount of pressure and got every single pain point I complained of! I will definitely be booking again asap!


Dec 06, 2024

If you are looking for not only a therapeutic massage, but helpful information on how to keep your body up in-between massages then ALM is for you!! Just WOW! Lakshmi was amazing. She took time to understand my specific pain during the intake process and then gave me an amazing massage. I left with a better understanding of myself and how to maintain my body. I've been telling everyone about this unique experience. I will definitely be back!


Dec 06, 2024

Lakshmi is an excellent therapist and understands the needs of an athletic body type. I appreciate her knowledge and techniques.


Dec 06, 2024

My experience at Austin Living Massage was unlike any massage I’ve ever received! Lakshmi is exceptional at her skill and has an incredible intuitive sense about what you need to find relief and comfort. I promise you, you will not be disappointed! Most definitely a five star experience!


Dec 06, 2024

The best massage ever. I love deep tissue massage and massage that specifically targets my hips. Lakshmi is an expert in Ashiatsu massage ( uses her feet). This type of massage is amazing as the pressure can be very deep and at times painful or a lighter more comfortable pressure . Lakshmi always checks in with you regularly during your massage so you are in total control of the pressure. Despite enjoying deep pressure massage I have never bruised after a session with Lakshmi as I have with other massage therapists and techniques. Lakshmi also charges a fair price and does not expect a gratuity which makes it easier to book sessions more frequently. If you are reading this and have never tried Ashiatsu my advice is to try it. Thanks Lakshmi


Nov 06, 2024

I had an amazing massage experience! The therapist was skilled and attentive, targeting my tension areas perfectly. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy true deep tissue (shiatsu) massage.


Nov 06, 2024

Yesterday I had the most amazing massage. It was unlike any I’ve had before, because Lakshmi uses her feet!!! She was so careful to get just the right amount of pressure for me, and she frequently asked how it felt to me. It was very intense and seemed like such a large area was receiving attention and it was continuous. It was extraordinary. And today i feel wonderful and “loose”. I highly recommend Lakshmi Fox at Austin Living Massage for the best massage you’ll ever have! I hear she also can work miracles on specific areas of pain!


Oct 06, 2024

Lakshmi is so great! She is kind, attentive to what you need, and she is very knowledgeable about the body. I feel like she targets exactly what I’m looking for every time, and with the perfect amount of pressure. It’s relaxing and pain relieving, and I’m sad when it’s over. Also the no tipping policy is really nice. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Lakshmi!


Sep 06, 2024

Lakshmi gets 10/10 stars from me! I do HIIT training 3-4 times a week and her massages are the thing that keep my body in tune. I won’t go anywhere else!


Sep 06, 2024

Lakshmi is awesome. Helps my aches and pains and offers great advice. I see her at least every 3 weeks.


Aug 06, 2024

The whole experience is professional and individually tailored to your bodies needs. Lakshmi is very kind and has a deep knowledge of the body. She shares her insights about ways to improve your bodies wellness. I highly recommend her for a fantastic message!


Jun 06, 2024

Lakshmi was absolutely wonderful and I will definitely be back to Austin Living Massage. She was excellent at communicating with me about pressure and the studio was so relaxing.


Jun 06, 2024

Simply outstanding experience. Booking is quick with plenty of options. Lakshmi takes the time to understand your medical history and the areas you need her to focus on. The pricing is very competitive especially when you account for the no tipping policy. The place and room are calming and comfortable - the heated table was the perfect temperature. Lakshmi is truly gifted at relaxing the tightness in different areas. She also gave me some great tips to help me. My back and hip feels great and I will definitely be returning to Austin Living Massage.


Apr 06, 2024

Amazing! Definitely go!


Apr 06, 2024

Lakshmi gave me such a professional deep tissue Ashiatsu massage! I had knee and hip pain, and she was very considerate to ask about the level of pressure that felt comfortable, yet deep enough for maximum effectiveness. She deftly ironed out the muscle sinews one at a time. Very positive experience, and she followed up with an email regarding exercises/roller tube, to help me at home. And if you are unsure about feet, don't be. You totally forget about it. You owe it to yourself to try this!


Apr 06, 2024

Lakshmi is such a gifted therapist. As a licensed massage therapist of 24 years myself, I have had a LOT of barefoot massages and Lakshmi is absolutely at the top. From her knowledge of anatomy to her communication skills to the results she achieves you cannot go wrong here. She has helped me with my low back pain so much in a short amount of time and I am so grateful to have found her!


Mar 06, 2024

This massage was the best I've ever received. I had an hour and half massage. The environment was quiet, soothing and inviting. Lakshmi was the same. She made sure the massage was exactly what I wanted and needed. She was excellent at quickly adjusting pressure, temperature and areas of focus based on my cues. What made this massage sooo good was her ashiatsu technique, which allowed me too take more pressure than I normally do, getting a truly deep massage. I left feeling very well taken care of. Highly recommend!!


Feb 06, 2021

Best massage ever!


Feb 06, 2020

Lakshmi is an amazing massage therapist! By far one of the best massages I've ever had. She took the time to really work on my problem areas (hips and legs), and I left feeling better than I have for ages. I highly recommend checking out Living Massage!


Feb 06, 2019

Border between Art and Science indeed. A truly amazing deeeeeeep healing massage from a very highly skilled Lakshmi. She has a wicked sense of humour too watch out! Stick this on your bucket list.


Feb 06, 2019

I went in with a sore aching back and came out standing straight. I saw Lakshmi and she did a great job.


Feb 06, 2018

Great massage. Best I've had.


Feb 06, 2018

I have gone twice two living massage I originally went because I had a multitude of problems with my body. The owner of the place took me under her wing explain to me that she thought she could help me if I would do the things that she asked and was willing to let her do the things that she had to. After the first session my back spasms were almost gone, my heel problems were significantly better along with my elbow and forearm issues. I've had a lot of massages in my life but none that actually helped me with my issues. it was by far the best massage I've ever had. The staff knows your muscles and knows what to do to your muscles to make your muscles work the way they're supposed to. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a massage to give these guys a chance. I promise you that you won't regret it it will be the best experience you've ever had on a massage table

A 100% Fantastic experience!! Hi all, I'm a successful global traveler new in town and unashamed to say I'm a massage snob. I have had them all over town - and the world: Paris, Vienna, Germany, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, etc.). I deal with constant aches, chronic pains, a bad back and so I recently availed of Living Massage's BOGO offer via Facebook. Firstly, let me say I was impressed when Rachel the spa owner called me up the very next day to acknowledge my online offer and immediately offered to book me. Secondly, having experienced massages of all kinds worldwide, I am thrilled to say, the Ashiatsu/Thai combination massage I received from Natolie was not only professional, comfortable and caring, but her massage proved extremely therapeutic! The very next day was the first ever morning - in decades - that I woke up without any pains in my body. What freedom I sure felt! Thirdly, Natolie is very knowledgeable about the body and in fact, asked me to let her know if I ever felt dizzy from a low blood sugar dip or if the pressure was too much (she massages with her foot and holds onto bars in the ceiling!). She actually diagnosed and worked to relieve a pain on my left shoulder which two chiropractors could not help me with. The Living Massage spa is clean, modern, upscale and comfortable, Megan the receptionist is very welcoming and their lemon water and power bars actually saved me (a diabetic), from a low blood sugar episode, post-massage. Needless to say, I will be back for sure on a regular basis. And I encourage you to try Living Massage if you're a massage aficionado like I am. They are so far the best I've experienced in the Lakeway/Bee Cave area. You'll leave your session feeling luxuriously indulged, totally relaxed and very happy, guaranteed!


Feb 06, 2018

Wonderful experience! Rachel took the time to understand where I needed the most relief and made sure to check with me whether pressure was enough. I felt so loose and relaxed when I left!


Feb 06, 2017

Amazing! Used Peedy!


Feb 06, 2017

Awesome as usual! I feel much better after Ashiatsu with Peedy. Just outstanding!


Feb 06, 2017

I get "tune up" massages every now and then due stiffness from the dreaded office chair. But, I've never had an Ashiatsu massage until I gave Living Massage a try. It was surprisingly relaxing, and I highly recommend it. They're very down to earth and kind people. Get the 90 min massage. It gives more time for your therapist to be thoroughly, and familiarize to your particular body structure. This place is off to a great start! :-)


Feb 06, 2017

Julie is very in tune with the body, she released knots and tension in areas of my body that I was not even aware of. She is gifted!


Feb 06, 2017

This was my first time at Living Massage and I was blown away! Best massage ever...Rachel is a very talented massage therapist!! Her technique is so far advanced of most of the other therapists I've had at other places. I will definitely return!!!


Feb 06, 2016

Rachel is amazing. Best massage I've ever had. She really understands your individual needs and provides a unique experience. I highly recommend the ashiatsu massage. If you love deep tissue this is a must try.
