About Us

Anne Morales

Anne Morales has been in the massage realm since 1997. She prides herself on her ability to care and listen to the needs of her clients. With her nurturing touch and years of palpation skills she had hundreds of satisfied customers in this time frame. She began her career working under several physical therapists learning and focusing on therapies for special populations and the injured. In 2000, Anne transitioned into the private sector launching her own practice in New Orleans. Her business was located in New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the oldest tennis club in the U.S.

     Anne studied a vast majority of modalities but most commonly specializes in deep tissue for athletes and clients with a variety of soft tissue injuries. As a result of Katrina in 2005, Anne relocated to Austin and fell in love with it. It was then she made a difficult decision to leave her very successful practice and wonderfully loyal client base and get licensed in Texas. She has grown to be known among Austin’s busy professionals for her amazing ability to help with whatever issues they may have and her “de-stressing” abilities.

Mari Byrd

Mari is a licensed massage therapist, she has been a practitioner since 2008 and has developed a passion for Thai massage since the beginning of her massage career. She studied for an entire year with her first Thai massage teacher in Dallas, and then set out on her first journey to Thailand in 2009. There she spent two months in Chaing Mai with her Guru, master teacher of Thai massage, Pichest Boonthumme. He is a highly regarded and well know teacher in all of north Thailand. With his teachings, and her passion, it took her beyond the physical technique, and delved deeper into the intuition and feeling of the body. With this she feels capable of bringing a more unique and individualized session with each client, rather than a same carbon copy experience. After her three years of taking these skills back to America, she decided she was ready for another adventure to Thailand, and came back to Chaing Mai in 2012 for another couple months of dedication with her teacher. Beyond Thai massage, Mari is highly skilled in other modalities of massage, including deep tissue, Ashiatsu, Thai reflexology and several other techniques.
