About Us – The Nines

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.
