Restoration Roots Massage and Bodywork

My first time using Whitney for a massage but I have had them frequently for the past 10 years or so. I think overall she gave an excellent massage but she did it and covered all those little things that I always like. I got there a few minutes early and she greeted me by the door which made me feel very comfortable. After greeting me we walked back to the room where I was offered water and bathroom and filled out her questionnaire. She came back read the questionnaire asked a few questions, then I got changed and onto the table. She asked about pressures multiple times, if I was ok with different scented oil she used, and if I liked the music choice. For me the big difference between a good massage and a really good massage is the extra few minutes spent on my hands and head without having to ask in addition to me feeling comfortable with the person giving the massage. She has the table heated to you don’t get cold and hot towels to keep your warm. Another note is that it was actually a 60 minute massage, for all of you who have had a massage before if paperwork and set up takes 5 minutes then you usually get a 55 minute massage, not here we started at 5 after the hour and ended at 5 after the hour!!! Didn’t lose the 5 minutes. From a scheduling and payment standpoint I did it all online with is super nice! Whitney’s site even allows for changing your appointment. Back to the massage– she focused on all the areas I asked and still hit the rest of the body. As someone who doesn’t like to be touched by strangers she did amazing and really made me feel comfortable. She also offered bottled water, and a warm towel at the end for excess oil I wanted off myself. Just scheduled my next appointment. Great experience!

I love the atmosphere Whitney creates. She is very professional and makes the experience inviting and comfortable. Just walking into her studio you feel more relaxed. When I get a massage she makes me feel like a pad of butter being melted!

I’ve had many massages throughout my life so I think I’m a good judge at this kind of stuff… I have to say that Whitney gives an incredible massage! I’ve found no one that matches her anywhere I have been. I love deep tissue and she gives an amazing deep tissue massage that gets into the spots that need it but it’s also relaxing. She is smooth with her movements, yet powerful. She seems very attuned to my body, focusing on the spots that need it most so I never feel like there is a spot that didn’t get the attention it needed. Also, she is a highly trained massage therapist and it’s obvious that she knows a lot about the human body and anatomy. She was very informative when I asked questions. If I could, I would see her weekly. I highly recommend her!

Where to start? I’m going to ramble because my experience with Whitney at Restoration Roots has gone unmatched. I urge you to read to the end of this review to truly understand how Whitney has earned all 5 of these stars.
Whitney is an amazing massage therapist with talent, passion, and knowledge about her field. She doesn’t charge extra for those little perks that transform a routine medical necessity (for some), into a true luxurious experience: hot towels, aroma therapy, and impeccable music (she has good taste, this one). Every detail counts, because Whitney sees her practice not as a luxury, but as a vital part of maintaining an active and well balanced lifestyle. In fact, if there’s another way to help you heal your aching body or improve your quality of life, Whitney will find it. That’s why she didn’t stop after working for Austin’s #1 day spa; in her spare time, she fit learning the ancient practice of Ashiatsu into her busy schedule. I’m dying to experience an Ashiatsu massage with Whitney and I’ll update this review once I have.
I can speak personally to Whitney’s ability to give a really effective deep tissue massage. Her monthly massages helped my partner and me survive my first two years of teaching.
She listened to my needs to make sure that I had the most relaxing and therapeutic experience possible. When she’s massaging, she doesn’t ask yes or no questions, «Is that good?» She wants to know my full experience and how she can make it better.
Whitney’s massages helped me manage my anxiety levels, chronic back pain, and improved my flexibility. Coupled with a healthy diet and exercise, massages from Whitney helped me to be as healthy and happy as possible during some of the most challenging years of my life. If you have a chance to get a massage from Whitney, I urge you to book now. You won’t regret it.
