Annamarie Liberati
Annamarie was first introduced to the art of massage during a trip to Northern India in 2011. Upon discovering and falling in love with the practice of kundalini yoga, she promptly followed her instructor at the time on a trip he was leading overseas to deepen her practice and completely immerse herself. The group was signing up for massage classes and she decided to try it out. Immediately, she fell in love with the ability to serve in a meaningful way, and the focus and clarity that came along with it. Upon her return to the states, she dove right in and enrolled in the Lauterstein-Conway Massage School here in Austin, Texas based on the recommendations of some friends she made on the trip. She graduated from the program in 2012 and has since expanded her healing modalities to include craniosacral, cupping, and reiki. Annamarie is also a metalsmith and jewelry designer, spending her weekends at pop-ups and farmers markets around town. She is inspired by many things including rock formations, the human body, time travel, sound, and every single color there is.

Elana Chavez
Elena has been practicing massage therapy for more than 5 years, she deeply enjoys her work and is always learning more fascinating things about the way each body functions. She is trained in working with lingering muscular issues, deep relaxation, reflexology, polarity therapy, cupping, and is always open and humbled by the amazing dynamics of the body. She deeply enjoys holding space for people, having grown up in a big family where one on one attention was few and far between. With her caring, nurturing, and present touch she intuitively sees the emotions and burdens that reside in the body and intentionally helps move them through, without judgement or expectation. Allowing each client to be met where they are and be guided to where they mostly deeply want to be.
Dee Richards
Dee is a passionate empath with a love for healing others through the power of intuitive yet clinical touch. Her soothing energy will help put you into a relaxing state of mind taking you away from hectic day to day of life in the city. She graduated from A New Beginning School of Massage in Austin and can deliver a one of a kind massage experience by combining her knowledge of Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques that are based on her client's wants and needs. Her journey as a LMT is young but anyone who knows her or has had a massage from her will tell you that she has found her calling in life. When she is not massaging or learning new modalities you can find her having a craft beer with loved ones or enjoying nature with her dog.
