Amanda gave me the best massage of my life! She listens, asks good questions, and maintains such a calm and relaxing environment. My body has changed so much postpartum, and she provided helpful knowledge about which muscles and areas of tension need stretching.As for the studio, the Airport Blvd location is absolutely beautiful. It’s cozy, clean and welcoming. I was blown away by the no tipping policy! One less thing to fret about and another huge reason why I’ll be a repeat customer.
My partner bought me a gift card to this place, and I am so glad I got to check it out! Friendly team & a lovely space with designated parking and a good vibes all around. I scheduled with Kishanna. She was so personable and a great massage therapist. And, I love their no tipping model; equitable and also takes away the guesswork for me as a the client. Ill definitely go back again.
A friend highly recommended Mantis (other location), so I decided to give it a try. I’ve had a few different masseuses and had a great experience with each of them. The nice thing about their pricing - they build tipping in, so you don’t have to worry about doing quick math. I also appreciate that they offer a $$$ discount for rebooking as you check out - I will gladly take advantage of that offer 😁
Massage therapist was professional, had a clear knowledge of the muscular system, and even recommended specific muscles to stretch, based on what was tensing up during my session! Massage was deeply relaxing, and highly effective. Will definitely be coming back!
This may have been the best massage I’ve ever had. I’ve been seeing Abby regularly, and she recommended a shiatsu (Japanese foot massage). She’s so skilled and that deep tissue work was what my body needed. Thank you!
First time at Mantis Massage and had a wonderful experience. Janita gave me a deep tissue massage with focus on my back and it was a very relaxing and soothing experience. Recently my back had been sore from a recent flight, together with regular back exercises and driving around for work all the time. After our session my back felt relieved and rejuvanated. Thank you Janita.
I have been going to Mantis Airport for several years. Everyone that I have had appointments is great and unique.Their bios are helpful to help narrow down who would best meet your needs.They provide several promotions during the year to help with cost.
Had 4 massages here so far with different masseuses. All have been very good! I have a repetitive shoulder injury and massage has been a game changer.My only gripe is that when I book a 45 minute massage the massage is actually only like 38 minutes because they take into account the minutes it takes to talk and then get under the sheets. Arriving early doesnt change this because they only take you into the room at the start of your appointment time. Every single massage Ive had here has been like this so I assume it is a management policy. If so, I wish they would change that and allow the massuesue to give a massage for the full length of time booked.
Amanda knocked it out of the park yesterday (again). I came in with a laundry list of complaints to work on and she patiently addressed them literally from head to toe. Thank you Amanda!I’ve been a happy customer of Mantis for a couple of years now having been helped by Amanda and others on their team
Sparkles gave me one of the best back massages I have had in a long time. I am a little shy about speaking up once the massage starts, and it took me a minute to give her feedback about what I needed in the moment, but once I did, she truly heard me and it was magical! I left the place drunk on feel-good hormones from the wonderful massage. My back knots were gone and I felt soft and fluid. Highly recommend!!
Second time visiting Mantis for a prenatal massage and I have to rave for a minute about the staff, specifically Becca! I’m 28 weeks pregnant in my third trimester and have been looking forward to this massage for a month. Well today was the Austin Marathon and with so many road closures and traffic build up I was going to be like 20 minutes late to my massage and was stuck downtown. I was literally in tears (hello pregnancy hormones) because I have really been looking forward to this massage and have been having a lot of back pain from the pregnancy. Becca and the studio manager called and texted me and were SO understanding! They let me know that Becca actually had a cancellation right after me so they could still accommodate me and see me today. When I parked, Becca instantly greeted me with a warm smile and opened the door to let me in. She didn’t make me feel rushed and still allowed for me to use the restroom before starting my massage and was still able to give me the full hour. One hour later and I felt like a completely new person! Becca helped relax me, put me at ease, and did a great job focusing on all of my problem areas. I’ve been to other spas and massage studios that are less than accommodating and often times even rude about you being late. Becca truly saved the day for me and took such wonderful care of me! Not to mention all of the props they have for you to be comfortable while getting a prenatal massage are truly top tier. I was extremely comfortable the entire time. Thank you Becca and Mantis Massage offering a sanctuary to pregnant women when we need you most! I can’t wait to be back for my next one.
Had the most excellent 60 minute massage with Janita. Pressure was perfect and she made me feel very comfortable. 100% recommend and can’t wait for my next splurge!
Great massage with Carmen today : ). I had some post-holiday tension and she did a wonderful job untying all of those knots. I have to say that it is refreshing to get a massage in an establishment that is “no tips”. I saw this on their website and was skeptical, but this is true!!! I highly recommend Mantis and Carmen.
Ive been going to Mantis for a couple of years and each visit is blissful! I see Sparkles, who truly provides a therapeutic experience. She always remembers my preferences, works to release stubborn muscles, and calms my nervous system in a way that has improved my health and wellbeing.
The studio is so adorable and super clean. They offer free tea and water and Sandra was great! She really helped get into a lot of the tension and knots I had in my shoulders and neck. I would highly recommend her for anyone who has postural or neck/shoulder issues.
This was truly the best massage of my whole life! Amanda is amazing; really took the time to figure out the root of the tension in my body and work it out. I felt like a shiny new penny in the days following the massage and can’t wait for my next session. Very calming atmosphere from when you walk in until you leave and they have some good tea for afterwards. Highly recommend this wonderful woman-owned business!
My usual massages have always felt “surface level” but Ally asked me if I had any issues and she addressed them in a professional way. Very impressed by the level of attention!I think if I continue to come here I can resolve a lot of body aches I have. Can’t wait to go back!
Amanda was amazing, and I felt completely at ease with her. She listened to my concerns and my stories of past injuries, and it felt like my massage was tailored to exactly what I’d told her. I will definitely be going back!
Amanda was very thorough and did a wonderful job taking her time to understand what I wanted in a massage.One of the best massages Ive had!
Ive been going to Mantis Massage for several years now and always have a great experience. I highly recommend Amanda!
Easy to schedule. Parking. Clean, lovely space.Kishanna was awesome and I’ve already booked my next appt.
My massage was exceptional! I found Mantis online and they had great reviews, so I went for it. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the massage was. It was deep tissue but didn’t hurt. I liked also how cozy the overall space feels. Allie was awesome and did a phenomenal job. I’ll definitely be going back
Amanda is great! She has a warm presence and did a nice consult to understand what areas were bugging me today. She was able to really pinpoint areas of tension and she clearly has such a deep knowledge of musculature and how to target different areas through massage.
I have been going to Ally for some time and she is the most incredible masseuse for what my body needs. She works everything out in deep pressure (my preference) and is incredibly intuitive when it comes to searching out pain points and releasing knots.
I’ve been getting regular massages for years and found Abbey last year when my previous massage therapist moved away. I’m honestly ruined for all others now. Abbey is a delightful human, a deeply talented and intuitive massage therapist, and makes taking care of my body comfortable, collaborative, and so relaxing. I always thought I was a Swedish massage girlie but the styles and techniques Abbey uses have allowed deeper massage that still feels relaxing. Truly a gem ♥️
Hannah was awesome! Really tailored the massage to my requests. Loved it!
Abbey is absolutely perfect! She listens, gives suggestions, and shes super friendly. 12/10 highly recommended!
Amanda is wonderful at her technique of massage. She seems to find theses knots or areas my body needs to get better mobility. I have a massage (90 minutes )a month. l just received a 2 hour massage from her! At the end she tells me area (s) she will help improve for next month. I have learned by coming to her monthly has kept me feeling in tip top shape.
I love the relaxed and personal feel at Mantis massage. The pricing and flexibility allows me to go when my body needs some massage therapy. Sparkles is my massage therapist and she is so personable, friendly and knowledgeable. She professionally customizes my massage therapy based on my current body/muscle status and my complaints. She is attentive and thorough. I leave Mantis relaxed and rejuvenated.
Just had a massage done by Juanita, she is the best! One of the best massages I’ve ever had in my life! She listened to me so well, and did an amazing job. Will be back ASAP!
Great deep tissue massage by Whitney, who is attentive to personalization of servoces as needed. Pleasant atmosphere and soothing music too.
Have been going for the past few months and cannot recommend enough. I struggle with a chronic shoulder injury and honestly this is the first time where it feels like it’s improving.Janita is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. She listens attentively and her skill as a massage therapist has helped me tremendously in my journey to recovering my shoulder mobility.
I lift weights and am frequently sore, so I wanted a full-body massage to see if this is something I want to incorporate into my regular routine. My masseuse Maddie was great! She asked me several questions and did some evaluations to assess my needs, and she also gave me some mobility recommendations for areas where I experienced tightness. The massage was perfect, and I feel much looser and mobile.
I had a 1 hour massage done by Sparkles. Wow. Facilities were comfortable, clean, nice-smelling, and calming. Sparkles was attentive and used a small amount of information to locate precisely where the ache originated and worked it loose. She was able to pull and press tension away from my body from places I did not even realize I was storing stress. Highly reccomend her services, 10/10.
I tweaked my back the other day lifting something heavy, and I just haven’t found any way to get relief. Today I scheduled a massage with Raven. She warned me that her deep is “really deep.” Well, I’m here to say that she didn’t lie. She knocked out the pain and found others I didn’t know I had. My shoulders are visibly lower and I can bend down again. What an incredible experience! Probably the best massage I ever had. Thanks Raven-can’t wait for my next visit!
I’m so happy that I found Janita at Mantis Massage. She knows what she’s doing! Being a dental assistant and a runner, Janita definitely helps loosen my tight areas. I highly recommend!
Sandra, Sandra, Sandra is a miracle worker. Ive been going to her for maybe a year or so and whether Im looking for relaxation or a real issue, she is incredible. She helps me heal and gives me great stretches, etc that help me between visits. Couldnt recommend her more.
The best stress release. At first I thought I would have a massage once a month. That quickly changed to twice a month. I am very impressed with Abbey, she listen to what you can handle and enjoy.I have a old broken body. She has a good touch. My movement is improved.Thank you Abbey 😊 💖
Mantis Massage is great. I’ve seen Sparkles quite a few times and she never fails to properly listen to what is going on with my body and also gives me tips on at-hom relief. Could not recommend more!
Aly is a master of her craft. I’ve never had such a complete massage. She uses so many techniques to completely relax each muscle.
Mantis Massage was great! As soon as you walk in the waiting room you are immediately met with a great relaxing environment.My therapist, Mattie, was very professional and knowledgeable. She respected my space and took time since it was my first massage.At the end of the massage she showed me some exercises I could do at home to help with my back.
Sparkles gave me an awesome massage at Mantis. She listened to all of my concerns (my body was in rough shape) and I left feeling much better. I will definitely be coming back.
I get a massage usually 2-3x a year and Becca is wonderful. She tailors the massage to the individual and I always walk away feeling amazing.
Such a great experience with Janice at Mantis Massage. I was in a bit of pain from a stiff back/shoulder/neck. Janice did a great job listening to my concerns and getting me feeling back to normal. Ill definitely be coming back. Thank you!!
I had a deep tissue massage with Sparkles and it was amazing! My hip and hamstring have been bothering me and the massage brought instant relief. Super clean and welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be going back!
I love getting a massage (who doesnt?). But since finding Mantis, Im in love with getting a massage. And now Mantis is the only place Ill get massages, because life is too short for mediocre self-care, am I right?I love the whole vibe at Mantis, love the whimsical playful touches on their site and in their paperwork-- they take the job seriously, but they dont take themselves too seriously. I love that attitude! The place is super clean and comfortable; I feel like theyve anticipated all our needs and have done everything they can to accommodate them.Im sure all the massage therapists are terrific (clearly thats how they roll at Mantis: excellence!), but Ive been going to see Sandra, and I dont have enough words of praise at my disposal to describe how amazing she is at what she does. Shes incredibly skilled, intuitive, kind, compassionate, helpful. I came to her with carpal tunnel pain and discomfort in neck/shoulder from lots of typing (I know Im not unique there!), and I felt better even before getting off the table on my first visit! And beyond specific crunchy spots that needed help, I feel a remarkable sense of relaxation and wellbeing after each session. (Thank you so much, Sandra!)Also, the booking process is really easy, and they offer pre-purchase bundles for a discount. I appreciate that too.If you already have a massage home you love, then you do you. But if youre looking for one, I cannot recommend Mantis highly enough! :-D
I’ve been a client of Mantis Massage (MM) for a while now. I’ve worked with several excellent therapists over time. I think MM does a fantastic job with hiring skilled and professional therapists- you really can’t go wrong with any therapist you pick. Everyone is so great that they book up fast.I recently had a few sessions with Mattie, which were perfection! Mattie clearly cares about her craft and takes the time to really assess what’s happening with your body. She finds the problem spots and has a skillful technique to work out the knots. She (and all of the MM therapists I’ve worked with) always take the time to debrief after the massage and discuss/demonstrate stretches for home care. Highly recommend Mattie and MM!
I went to Syd for close to two years and she was the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. She always checked in about what part of my body needs most attention and would be committed to loosening my muscles and giving me the relief I needed. Though I went to Syd for my massages, I have no doubt that all of their therapists know what they’re doing. The best part is that I was able to use my FSA to pay for my massages.
I thought massages were just ~fine~ until i visited Mantis for the first time. Janita has improved my quality of life with our monthly sessions and i can’t imagine getting a treatment anywhere else now.
I just had an incredible, much needed massage at Mantis. I’ve been struggling to get relief for my chronic shoulder issue as well as dealing with sciatic pain after recovering from surgery. Syd listened to my needs and went to work on these areas, providing the relief I needed. Not only was the session super productive, but I also left feeling relaxed and refreshed. One of the best massages I’ve had in years…
Mantis Massage has an excellent therapists. I always work with Sparkle. She is very professional, kind and nice person to me. She takes care of my bodys issues as my upper back, my right shoulder and my legs. Excellent professional!!
Becca is the greatest. Her prenatal massages have truly restored my soul the last few weeks of pregnancy. I recommend her to all my pregnant friends. She is so kind, warm, and helpful.
This massage place is AMAZING! From the time I walked to the time I left, I felt such for lack of a better word, Zen. Amanda was my therapist. She actually listened to everything I said and then followed through! She made sure I was comfortable from the neck adjustment to the heated table to the right pressure. When I asked for less pressure, she was so accommodating and then remembered not to ramp it up. Amanda was attentive the entire time, not chatty and day dreaming like many therapists seem to do. The reason their rates are higher is that Mantis b provides benefits like health insurance for their therapists. Because they take care of their therapists in this way, they have a no tipping policy. A company treating their employees well is great by me! They offer a different kind of massage packages many of us are used to but no hard sell here. I will be back and soon. Check out Mantis at two different locations.
Truly the BEST massage I’ve ever had. I feel like other spas I’ve been to focus more on the ~frills~ of a spa…this was just 60 minutes of pure relaxation and pain relief and I loved every minute of it! The highest quality service I’ve found in Austin, and for the best price too..can’t wait to come back!
Janita has helped me tremendously with bound fascia around my shoulder blades and tightness in my shoulder areas. Other therapists have just said “you’re tense” and done standard massage but she has used her expertise to help me get some relief.
My back started to randomly ache a few weeks ago, and just kept getting worse. Finally I scheduled a next-day appointment at Mantis... and Megan fixed it! I even did yard work yesterday before the massage, but today my back feels great! Im definitely going to try to do this more regularly to avoid the pain and sleepless nights that my back occasionally gives me!
Becca’s is really great. I leave feeling so much better physically and less stressed. She works with my physical issues and is gentle in areas and does deep massage where it is needed. Also, she has a wonderful personality. Thanks Becca
My first time and it was exactly what I needed. I have a ton of muscle and nerve issues and I was hoping to find a place where I felt comfortable getting back into a massage routine. Raven is really skilled and helped a ton. Already made another appointment.
Mattie at Mantis Massage provided a great massage of my shoulders and upper back, working out several knots and helping me to feel so much better. They also gave me exercises and other follow-up recommendations. I will definitely be back!
Mantis is the best! Hannah is a wonderful therapist. They all are!
Often times when I’ve had a massage I feel like I’m being tickled. I need a strong, intentional hand, and Becca had it. She didn’t hold back, and when I left I felt like something was accomplished in my muscles. I will def visit again!
Went in for a 45 mins session and I highly recommend! I walked out feeling so good and relaxed! My massage therapist worked on my lower back (where I have chronic pain) and I definitely got some relief there. Thank you!
I’ve only had good experiences at Mantis and massages there have always provided therapeutic value, working out difficult areas and reducing tension. Bobbie is fantastic and draws on a lot of different techniques to help fix pain points. Highly recommend.
Whoa, what an amazing massage! I like a deep, therapeutic massage and Raven nailed it. Addressed two recurring issues that I have in my shoulder and thumb and I feel like a new person. My first time at Mantis and with Raven, but I already rebooked and can’t wait for the next.
Sparkles is amazing. Knows how to get right into all my most sore and tender spots and manages to absolutely tenderize my back with seemingly very little pressure and effort. Would 100% recommend.
Had a wonderful experience at Mantis with my Masseuse Bobbie. She was ready for me when I arrived, she was kind, informative and really focused on my trouble areas! I have already booked my next appointment and looking forward to getting back on her table!
Mattie was amazing. I enjoy when massage therapist talk you through what they find/ feel. She even suggested things I can do post-massage to help my pain. I will definitely be back!
Mattie gave me an incredible massage! She was very attentive and targeted and seemed to have an easy time identifying my issues and addressing them. I recommend her!
Got a great massage from Mattie! Was struggling with some aches in my upper back/shoulder area.She took care to talk to me before the massage and explain what she would do to help alleviate some of that tension/soreness. Did a terrific job and felt much better the next day!
As always, the massage therapist that I got On short notice, Abby was fantastic!!
I needed a deep sports massage to work out some tough spots in my neck and back. I scheduled with Raven and had had a truly excellent experience. I’m currently feeling lots of relief and looking forward to my next visit.
The massage therapists at Mantis really know what they’re doing! I go monthly to Bobbi to alleviate muscle pain and stiffness so I can continue my active lifestyle. She is very responsive to what my body needs and I always leave feeling relief from the pressure and strain my daily activities put on my body. Highly recommend Mantis!
Easy to book online, and I love the bio for each massage therapist so I can find exactly what Im looking for based on their specialties and styles. Everyone has always been friendly and professional, and I always leave feeling so much more relaxed, and of course sometimes a little sore if I had some really bad knots that they worked out! But thats part of the process.
I had a very sore and tight back and shoulders. Megan did an excellent job in the 45 minutes. I felt better and she adjusted the pressure (I like deep tissue) upon my feedback. I am pretty picky about the quality of my massage and this was up there. It is a bit pricey with $100/45 minutes
Sparkles is truly skilled, remarkable, ensures she knows of any developments or problem areas and adjusts accordingly each session. As good as it gets. Phase 2 she started using her feet in the massage progress and it is determinant in the quality of my physical therapy. Amazing!
I brought my mom and I here for her birthday, I had Amanda and she had Maddie (Maddy? Sorry if I spelled it incorrectly). We had an absolutely amazing time. My mom deals with chronic pain from previous injuries and she said it was such a relief to not feel pain in her upper back. Amanda was incredibly compassionate towards my stressors/fears. We will both be coming back here. Could not recommend them enough, you will actually be listened to here and that is my biggest thing for care-based businesses.
I booked a somewhat last minute massage as a birthday treat to myself, and Bobbie was amazing. I was so relaxed and the cupping was a first but I really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend!
Such a wonderful establishment in my experience - the customer service is excellent, their rates are reasonable, and the quality of massage is top shelf. I’m so grateful to have found this gem in Austin. It’s very difficult to find such talented therapists who can work away pain and complicated post injury stress in the muscles. Also their scheduling process is very easy online the communication is quick and clear always. Thank you Mantis Massage!
Every single time I choose Mantis Massage, I am so blown away by the treatment. Body work of any kind is not only about technical skill, but also about the energy exchange between healer & patron. Regardless of how many times I have seen a specific LMT (first time, or recurring) I have always felt very heard, and treated with an authentic desire to help me feel better. Today, Raven was amazing. I had to sneak in a last-minute 45 min session before I go into 4-day labor intensive work marathon. Raven took full advantage of that 45 minutes; targeted the exact places that needed work, and got the job *freakin* done. Exactly what I needed. It feels good to know that you can always trust the body workers at Mantis. It’s one of those companies you can tell has good management. 🥰
Had a session with Abbey for a tight back. Great session. Fully recommend.
Came here for my first massage ever as a birthday gift to myself and absolutely loved it. I had a ton of built up tension/stress from work and walked out feeling lighter, relaxed, and comfortable. Definitely will be back soon
These folks are so wonderful. Ive come back twice - both times for back pain issues. I saw Becky and Kelsey. Theyre both awesome - they have their own styles and both led to me feeling so much better. The vibe of Mantis is so nice. I know they advertise themselves as a no-frill massage studio, but I think its perfectly cool... essential oils, calming music, the works. Its also really nice that they offer so many different pricing options. Ive been going in for 30-minute sessions. Id love to go for an hour, but sometimes you gotta keep costs down :) 30 minutes with these folks is an incredible experience. I couldnt imagine a better addition to our community.
Everyone there is a pro. Becca is amazing. She tailors my visits to whatever my body needs and works with me on intensity. Highly recommend !
Sparkles is the absolute best. She’s so knowledgeable and skilled that I consider her part of my healthcare team. I have a number of chronic illnesses that result in joint issues and chronic pain; and seeing Sparkles regularly helps me stay active and do the things I love to do.
I had a 45 minute massage with Mattie yesterday and it was wonderful. I actually fell asleep very quickly at night and it was definitely of the techniques Mattie used. Would definitely recommend!
Lisa is incredible. The experience was so soothing and relaxing. Every time I hoped she’d move to my shoulder or neck or rub a certain way, she did! It’s like she read my mind the whole time. Phenomenal massage!
Always an incredible massage at Mantis - without a doubt the best place in town. Todays massage with Ally was awesome. Thank you so much and will be returning soon!
Ive been seeing Becca regularly due to some chronic neck issues and other miscellaneous aches and pains. She is so sweet and a really excellent therapist. As a former professional-level dancer, I am super picky when it comes to massage but Becca and the whole team at Mantis know what the heck they are doing. As long as I go every 2-3 months, my neck pain stays under control - plus I have something on the calendar I get to look forward to!
Incredible. Truly knowledgeable and results-driven massage therapists. Sometimes it’s a bit painful but the outcome is amazing. If you have stubborn long term pain come here! Sydney is amazing!
This was my first time getting a professional massage ever, and it was amazing!! I was very stressed and decided to make an appointment. I had Liz, she was very sweet and made me feel comfortable shes awesome at what she does. I instantly felt relaxed and felt such a difference. I definitely recommend this place!!
Amanda was amazing! Got referred by a friend and will be going back frequently now. Took her time to understand where I felt tension and tightness, great experience!
Been going to this location for a while, and Becca has been the best thing for my back. She listens to my issues and takes care of them. I recommend Mantis to everybody.
I am in love with this place. The location/parking were perfect. The vibe is soothing and clean. Kendra was my massage therapist. She was the best Ive had in a long time. She really listened to me, and is phenomenal at her job. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Mantis Massage has a very calming environment and often runs nice deals on their already fairly priced massage sessions. Be nice and dont forget to tip, especially if you use a coupon. Ive only had massages with Becca, but shes a great therapist! She does a great job listening to where I need the most work and addressing those muscles with the pressure I like in each area of my back. Highly recommend!
Abbey was able to read and respond to my body’s needs intuitively. If she encountered muscular resistance, she was able to elegantly adjust and change course as needed. If you are a body-mover — yoga practitioner, dancer, climber, paddler, runner, whatever — do your body a favor and book at Mantis with Abbey.
Janita is an amazing therapist! I always leave more limber, relaxed and rejuvenated.
Mantis is the best! I’ve worked with Sparkles and several of the other massage therapists and they’re always amazing! Highly recommend!
This place is amazing! My boyfriend surprised me as a Valentine’s Day treat with a full body massage here and they did not disappoint. The lady that worked on me was wonderful! She made sure I was completely comfortable. Apparently I’m an extremely tense person lol so she worked everything out and walked me through different things to help relax my body more. Definitely will be returning!
I am so happy to have discovered Mantis Massage. Kyra is a truly gifted and wonderful massage therapist and person. Like others have mentioned, she may be petite, but she is incredibly strong and has been able to exert the perfect amount of pressure to really relieve a lot of the tension/knots in my back. Every time I have gone to see her, it has made a massive difference in my well being. The studio is lovely and clean and comfortable, and in a very convenient east side location. Her rates are incredibly affordable, and she is so professional, personable, and kind. I cannot recommend Mantis Massage enough!
I had Becca today for a prenatal massage and she was AMAZING! I had been having a lot of lower back and SI joint pain and by the time I walked out to go home I felt like a brand new person! She was very sweet, gentle, and professional! I can’t wait to come back for another massage!
Amanda was incredible! Came in with a lot of pain on my neck and shoulders and she addressed all my issues during the session. Even gave me some stretching tips. Thanks Amanda :)
I flew to Austin from Boston 9/2/23. Filled out the health form on line. Uber dropped me off. 109 degrees out. Doors locked. One worker came to the door and never acknowledged me. While standing outside hoping to get inside I got stung by hornets. I wouldn’t send a dog here and I love dogs. After getting treated for the bites and dehydration at the radio station next door, I called an Uber and left. Was told to come 15 minutes before my appointment. This place is a dump. Wouldn’t allow them to touch me. Stay away. Very sketchy, dangerous place.
Kyra and the team are the best in Austin, hands down. Ive been going for years and am so excited they opened a south congress location, I went yesterday and its beautiful. All the therapists are great, but Lindsay is my and my wifes favorite. She has an amazing gift for what she does and is incredibly intuitive. Cant wait for my next massage!!!!
Great place! Just moved to Austin and been looking for a massage clinic that suited my needs and Mantis Massage is the place! Taylor is great with welcoming me, taking time to understand my needs, and making me feel comfortable. She is very skillful and I will be returning soon. Thanks Taylor and Mantis Massage for the great experience!
Great work from Bobbie! Enjoyed the massage very much, it has helped my back a great deal. Expert work in a comfortable setting.
Mantis is great. Bobby is great. This is the only place I go to ever since I accepted a massage at 1am at 7th and Neches. Never. Again. Go here, get massaged, feel better.
Its rare to have experiences that meet the needs of your mind, body, and soul. My partner and I scheduled deep tissue massages with Kinza and Dannie - they were out of this world. My partner is a former marine and Kinza worked his full body. She was very knowledgeable, asked thoughtful questions, and explained everything thoroughly. I had Dannie and she had an incredible energy and was very knowledgeable as well. She wasnt afraid to tackle the tension in my lower back and shoulders (its pretty bad, yall). What made the difference was that it was the first time it felt like someone was trying to tend to our issues to improve our overall well-being - not just casually massage us. We are very grateful for this experience and cant wait to go back to visit them!
Booked an appointment with Julia and it was a great massage. Usually it takes 2 or 3 massage sessions for a therapist to really understand what needs to be massaged, but Julia was perfect the first appointment! Not only was a great massage, but she suggested other activities I could do to help my muscles/tissue. I would recommend this Mantis for anyone with pain
I had my first massage ever with Jewel. It was an amazing experience. I rock climb and practice parkour 6 days a week, and often have a very sore set of shoulders and arms. Jewel left me exhilarated, relaxed, and feeling like a brand new man. I will definitely recommend her/Mantis Massage to anyone.
From the pure ease of scheduling to a crisp cup of water at the end, I had a truly great experience here. Ive had massages at other reputable establishments and Mantis is officially my top pick. Vanessa gave a very well balanced massage with the perfect amount of pressure and care. Truly felt taken care of.
Becca is incredible! Best massage ever. I try to get a massage from her quarterly and always leave feeling significantly less tense and 10000% better.
Last week, I ran the Austin 10/20, and it was the first time I had run 10 miles. The following days, my body was definitely sore. I had been going to Massage Harmony, but the massages there are inconsistent. So, I decided to try another place. I found Mantis Massage on Google, and checkout their reviews on Google and Yelp. I was really impressed with what I saw, so I decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did. The massage was very thorough, and Jewel did an amazing job. It was by far the best massage Ive ever had!
Melissa was amazing! She was extremely nice and really listened to the issues I was having with my body. I had done a back to back yoga class the day before and really felt tight in my shoulders and lower back, but she worked those out no problem. I will definitely go back to her. Thanks Mantis!!
Went to Becky (who, disclaimer, is my sister) for a pre-natal massage in early January, around 22 weeks, that was heavenly. I literally walked around for a few days afterward feeling like I was floating, which doesnt happen often in pregnancy, right? I liked my pre-natal massage so much that I have another one booked for my next visit to Austin at 31 weeks, and I have my husband booked for a massage with one of Beckys colleagues. Cant wait for another massage from Becky and to hear my husbands review of her colleagues massage!
Sparkles is an amazing therapist!!! I would highly recommend her services! I always feel relaxed and ready for a nap!
So noisy! i also booked a 90-minute full-body massage and half my body was never touched, how does that happen?? usually when they ask about areas that might need extra attention, you expect them to spend a *little* more time on it, not the entire time. i could also hear every conversation customers and employees had at the front desk which was really distracting, a phone kept vibrating somewhere, and the music would stop playing every 20 minutes so the massage kept getting interrupted to restart the music. this was my first massage all year, i was really looking forward to it, especially after so many positive reviews, but the experience was very disappointing.
Kyra at Mantis Massage is the best therapist Ive ever had, and Ive had a lot of massage. Shes very professional and kind and will take the time to talk to you about what your looking for. I love a strong deep tissue massage, but always have to ask the therapist to be firmer. Kyra applied perfect pressure and really worked out my tension. Her prices are very reasonable and she is simply the best around!
Sandra is an absolute goddess! I just got an hour long massage from her and I can easily say it was one of the best massages I have ever gotten. I will definitely be coming back.
Had an amazing 1.5hr session with Becca! If youre looking for a true deep tissue massage, shes your therapist! Shell get into knots and sore spots like no other. Thanks Becca!P.s. Their facility was also super clean and well maintained!
Maddie was awesome. She did some sub scap massaging that no one had ever done before, and it gave me some much needed relief. I’ll be back for sure
Thank you, Kyra! Mantis Massage is the best, and I cannot wait to go back again! After a very, very long week, Kyra fit me in last minute and took such care of me. Once she found my stress zones, she gave me suggestions on how to make sure anxiety doesnt take over and hurt my body. Her office was so relaxing and cheerful, I just let go and fell asleep while she did her magic!Though I am enthusiastic about the suggestions she made outside of massage therapy, I am even more looking forward to my next appointment with Kyra at Mantis. All I can say is make that appointment, yesterday.
I have been receiving amazing deep tissue massages from Becca for three years. Everyone there is so amazing. Beccas healing hands have made such a difference in my flexibility. The spa is spotless, excellent COVID practices. I highly recommend.
I have never gotten a deep tissue before and chose this place based on reviews. My masseuse Bobbie was the perfect balance of firm but not too firm. I left feeling alot better. Would definitely recommend.
I work as a delivery driver and was in desperate need of serious deep tissue work. I had read the reviews here and called, was able to make a weekend appointment, a big +. Arrived early and found a very clean, comfortable, and welcoming seating area. Met with Jewel, awesome personality!!! The massage room was very clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Jewel went to work on me and was able to get my arms and shoulders back into shape, I was able to have free range of motion after the session...Amazing!!Already rebooked for next week. Class A establishment, Class A therapist. Thanks Jewel!!!
Friendly, relaxing atmosphere. I had a great massage from Amanda and my body is feeling very relaxed and renewed.
Sparkles is amazing and I feel like a new person after a massage with her at Mantis. Highly recommend.
I just had my first massage ever and had a great experience. Kyra has a great approach to her massage therapy. I truly felt like I was doing my body a favor by getting a massage and am now hooked. This isnt pampering, this is like a good workout, where you know that youre going to benefit from it (even though it may hurt a *little*). And it truly is amazing how much pressure Kyra can exert - wow.Her place is warm and inviting (great tunes!) and the rates are unbeatable for the quality of work.
Best Massage in Austin! This place helped reduce my stress levels by several orders of magnitude. Kelsey has been the only therapist that has been able to work the knots out of my back and shoulders.
Best value massage in town. Affordable quality massage therapists. There are many great therapists but Rosalyn comes to mind as a recommendation. I also recommend signing up for their mailing list as they send out specials from time to time. Great way to get a discount.
I had a great massage from Ally. I had just done a 9 mile hike this morning and after my massage I feel great! Thank you Ally.
Amanda is very professional while remaining very down to earth. She has truly mastered her art. Do schedule an appointment with her, she knows exactly what she is doing.
This was a great massage I got frm Kelsey. She really listened to what I was looking for and totally delivered both a relaxing and relieving session of body work. Im certainly going to go back. This place is clean and cozy, easy to park and schedule!
Im pretty convinced Kyra is magical. She has worked on healing me for the past several months and is a success! I walked around for years in a lot of pain. I thought it was normal wear and tear. Boy was I wrong! I initially came across her through Go Local Austin and then read her Yelp reviews. I took advantage of a Yelp deal and never looked back. Im so glad I did--Kyra is simply the best.She is a woman with strong hands and a plan. When I first came to her, she devised a course of action to get me out of pain. It involved a series of appointments and now we are on a regular schedule. Be prepared to be seriously impressed--the lady is STRONG.Give her a shot. Not only is she professional and takes the time to explain and tailor a plan for you, she is pretty cool too. Im proud to call her my massage therapist.
I have been a frequent client (About once every 3 weeks) of Mantis Massage for about a year now, and I have to say the personnel at this no frills true body works massage studio have been life changing. My job is pretty demanding and takes quite a toll on my body (and it doesn’t help I’m one of the smallest instructors in the company world-wide). Without Mantis Massage, I probably wouldn’t still be able to do the job I love, so I really appreciate everything Kyra and her staff have done for me. So much that even when I move to San Antonio, on my Wednesdays days off I will still make the drive every 3 weeks for my “tune up.”I initially started seeing Kyra almost exclusively, and she really gets into the troublesome areas. She’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Looks can be deceiving, but be warned, she can definitely make a grown man cry. I have been very hesitant to say yes when she asks if I would like more pressure because even though I probably needed more pressure, I was unsure if I could take it. I remember one time she asked for more pressure and I said yes, and she let out a surprised “really?!” She then tied her hair up and took off her shoes and proclaimed that she “was ready to beat me up.” I’ll be honest, I was scared. That being said, she’s always been able to tear my body down and reconstruct it even better than ever. A bonus is she’s always given me advice on stretching and strengthening. I will always try to have her every other rotation when I visit Mantis.But she’s not the only amazing therapist at this location, as I’ve seen multiple therapists at Mantis when I forget to schedule with Kyra. My first “emergency” massage session was with Monica. Not only did she work out my troubles when I was in a pinch but she also noted that certain areas of my body was actually overstretched. It turns out a lot of things I was doing was making the situation only worse, and with great advice I have been able to turn it around and help alleviate the problem.Next in line for an “emergency” visit was with Ash. She targeted a different aspect and helped me with my body’s realignment. Her advice for me at the end of the session was indeed helpful but the most difficult to implement (She told me to not use my thumbs so much and gave me a good set of stretches). For the longest time I’ve been straining my neck and destroying my posture thanks to my dependency on my cell phone. I have a game plan, which is being SLOWLY implemented (since for me it’s very difficult to give up the cell phone). Although she didn’t specifically say cell phone, I’m pretty sure that’s what she was hinting at.About 3 months ago, I started rotating between Kyra with Kalli. Now watch out for Kalli, she’s a great therapist who gets at the heart of the problem but she is a sales women through and through. I walked in with a wreck body, walked out good as new but with magnesium supplements, UCAN bars, a well-made head band, half a cup of lemonade, some Liberty cards, a scorpion creepy crawly, and an awful tasting “hamburger” from a McDonalds Happy Meal Magic Maker from 1993! All kidding aside, she’s got the elbows of a goddess and works wonders. Well, she actually did clue me in on the benefits of magnesium (and I was definitely lacking) and suggested heat as a form of relaxing my muscles (just not to the point where I burn myself and cause a blister…but that was my own ingenious fault.)And these aren’t the only amazing therapists, but I’m sure the other reviewers here can clue you in on the amazing work from other therapists that I have heard so much about but haven’t yet tried. You can’t go wrong with anyone here, so if you’ve given up on chronic pain issues without a fix, I highly recommend you schedule a visit immediately with any of the therapists at Mantis.
My daughter and I treated ourselves to a much needed one hour swedish massage. Elise was our LMT, and she was terrific! She was very professional, conscious of problematic areas, and kind. She worked out knots that I didnt even realize that I had. I melted into the chair after my session. I dont live nearby, but was able to come since my daughter moved to Round Rock. This is my second visit here, but it is my fav place to come. The best massages hands down.
Sparkles was absolutely amazing. One of the best massages I’ve ever gotten. Highly recommend this place!
Raven was incredible, patient at working through tough knots, the website, scheduling, facility, Ravens bio, all superb. Fantastic
Wow ! The massage was everything Mantis advertised. I had issues with my neck and lower back and the day after I feel like a new man. Jewel was my therapist andshe worked a major miracle. I have had pain in my back for months and suddenly its gone. Pah Pow! Two thumbs up and a twist to Mantis.
Lyndsay has been extremely helpful in dealing with a persistent psoas problem. She is a well educated and professionally trained massage therapist who truly cares about her clients. Every visit she surprises me with her extensive knowledge and compassion
Lindsay is AMAZING. Great location, very comfortable, and relaxing. She is very strong and really knows how to work deep tissue and connective tissue. I already have another appointment booked. She already has another regular.
Amazing! Finding someone who can exert enough pressure and in the right way is truly daunting, but look no further. Kyra is truly gifted in this respect and is both extremely personable and professional. She should be charging more for how good she is (but please dont)! Her abilities, rates, and location are just about perfect. And if youre interested, theres a donations only acupuncture clinic right next door. Does it get any better?
Kyra was AMAZING. Its so telling that she could decipher so much about my habits (what hand was dominate. that I bounce my knees when I sit, that I grind my teeth) simply by reading the muscles in my body.As someone with constant back issues, Im incredibly excited about having her help me in my road to recovery.And yes...such strength and power from such a tiny frame!
I do not know who reads these but I just have to give more praise to the specialist I saw today (Aug.14), Kelsey. I have been dealing with calf and foot problems and I walked out feeling like I jumped into the future and got a lower leg transplant! I know that continuing to feel this way will take some work on my end but all the credit of feeling like this goes to Kelsey. That being said, every time I have been to Mantis I have left feeling like my body has hit a mental and physical reset. So just one big THANK YOU!
Sparkles at Mantis on airport was great! Super affirming, listened to what I needed, and gave professional advice based on what I said.
I’ve always had a great experience at Mantis! I have most recently been working with Mattie who is just great, very insightful and intuitive and helpful!
I started going here last year and I’m hooked! I go every few months and always leave feeling amazing. Bobbie is awesome.
A great place to relax and get a massage. Ask for Kyra, shes the best. Very professional and experienced. Shes small but she packs a big punch. Youll leave feeling great. Its my favorite place to go in Austin.
Sandra is the BEST!!! I like deep tissue and she delivers. She also really cares about her clients ❤️
Easy online scheduling. I schedule a couple months out and visit monthly to have those knots in my shoulders broken up. I’ve been here regularly for almost two years with no plans to stop. Really look forward to it every month.
I love my regular monthly massages at Mantis with either Bobbie or Syd, they keep me healthy and mobile!
Allee is a great massage therapist!
Attentive, soothing atmosphere, and Janita does Great myofascial work
Meh. I dont understand the hype. I went to the Airport Blvd location recently, and had what I would call, at best, a so-so experience. My LMT was very impersonal, not welcoming, and was more or less phoning it in re the massage work itself. $90 is far too much to drop on a lackluster massage, I dont think Ill be returning. Actual star rating more like 2.5, rounding up here because basic minimums were met (e.g. cleanliness of room & facility, etc.)
Excellent and very strong! I went to Kyra and was surprise how strong such a petite person can be! I rarely have a massage strong enough for me and I would highly recommend Mantis to anyone.
Full-time percussionist and mother...I have some crazy tough muscles...I booked with her because the reviews were great, and the price was also right...not to mention, when I saw that SHE GIVES AWAY MASSAGES to musicians, I just WANTED to give her my business. When I walked in and saw this little petite woman, my heart sunk. I thought, oh jeez, shes gonna be too soft. I was sooooo wrong...within 60 seconds of my massage, she literally took my breath away, going right to my trouble spots. The massage was thorough, pressure was just right, and Kyras energy was gentle and compassionate. You will be soooo glad you booked with her...I cant wait for my next appointment. Thank you, Kyra!
Really great, professional, massage therapists who have expertise in various body injuries. Can’t recommend Mantis Massage enough.
Kyra is simply the best at what she does! Been trying massages for years and I think i found the hands to call home!Do not hesitate folks - do yourself a favor.You will not regret it!
Oh wow, my first time here today and what a relaxing session that was. My therapist, Bobbie, did an amazing job on my back and listened to my needs. Will be coming back for sure :)
Consistently excellent quality. My husband and I have had massages with a number of therapists, and weve always had good experiences. Its nice that online booking is easy as well.
Abbey was fantastic and took care of all of my trouble pints! I’ll definitely be coming back regularly.
First time here and definitely not my last. Thank you so much for focusing on my problem area.
I needed a last minute appointment and luckily Becca Pride was able to fit me on her schedule she worked on my problem area with great deep tissue work; helping relieve my pain so i could continue my training and not miss time at work.
A Mantis message is a must for everyone! I always walk out feeling 100% better than when I walked in.
Bobby was fantastic! She is a very skilled masseuse and her music was great. Love the environment here!
Abbey is the best! Every time I see her, I leave Mantis feeling so refreshed.
This aint your Mamas massage. They do deep tissue massage for injuries, rehab, adhesions and more. This stuff hurts, in the good kinda way, but its the best way to get well and live pain free.
Had a nice sports massage with sparkles who was wonderful. Will definitely be going back to let her work out the kinks.
Mantis has always done a great massage. Hits the spots and does it well.
Becca is the BEST! She’s amazing if you’re pregnant or just a straight up human pretzel 🥨
As a physical therapist and an experienced massage goer, Kyra is hands down the most talented massage therapist I have ever seen. I cant say enough. I guess just thank you will do for now.
My massage was wonderful. I highly recommend.
Bobbie is awesome. Walked in unable to turn my head to the left, walked out and voila, head turns to the left. Magic!
I always have a great experience at Mantis! Wonderful massage therapists!
Elise was my massage therapist here, and it was absolutely the best massage I have ever received in my life. It raised the bar. Check this place out, you wont be sorry!
Sparkles is a magician! She keys in on what’s going on with my body and I always walk away feeling SO much better.
Great place for a massage. All the staff are awesome and will help fix you up. I’ve been a regular for around four years and they’ve yet to disappoint
Great therapists, easy scheduling system, super flexible cancellation policy and 2 awesome locations. Definitely a go-to for a great massage experience!
This place is awesome. From easy online booking to great service, Ill definitely be going back. Karey was my therapist and Id highly recommend her!
Love Sparkles! I always feel so much better after a session.
Great place to get a massage. Prices are very reasonable. All the therapists Ive seen are friendly and good communicators. Treat yourself!
Had a 45 min session with Taylor. I felt much looser and stood up straighter afterwards. It was so good, I felt like I was only on the table for 10 minutes!
Jewel rocks! She really zerod in on all my trouble spots and my knots and worked on them with gusto! I will definitely be back!
Had the massage of my dreams! Wasn’t sure what i needed but i know i needed something and i haven’t felt this good in a while. Will most certainly be back!
I had a wonderful experience with Kelsey and at Mantis Massage. Everyone there was extremely helpful. Cant wait to come back!
I was so sore and tense when I came to mantis, Kyra was very professional and I received one of the best massages Ive ever had.
Pretty sure Sandra is a wizard moonlighting as a massage therapist. She can read minds and hit all your spots without a word.
It was AMAZING... Im not one to write reviews. Put simply the BEST massage I have ever had! Thank you!
Fabulous! Quiet, restful, private and great massage skills!
Great experience. Friendly staff, warm and inviting environment. You can tell they aim to be inclusive and that makes me want to recommend it to all my friends.
The most wonderful message over ever had. The lobby us cute and welcoming and the therapist are awesome!
The place is always clean, clam, and makes you want to take a nap. The staff is amazing and great at finding knots.
Had the second-best massage of my life here, but also the worst. It’s about finding the right person! The ambiance is great.
Abbey I awesome! The has no problem getting deep into the trouble spots.
Love this place! Staff is amazing and really listens to your needs. You wont regret making your next appointment here.
Amazing! They deserve 10 stars! Parfect massage, nice and friendly people. Cant wait to go again!
Life changing, will be back
I always get outstanding professional care from Becca.
Always have a good experience here. Some of the best masseurs in Austin. Very highly recommended.
Great massages and everyone is really cool. I always come out of that place feeling way better.
