Heart Hands Wellness

I’ve known Gina for years. She is professional, very educated, kind, and gives a wonderful massage. She cares about her clients and her business. I would not hesitate to recommend her and have. Thank you Gina for helping so many feel better.

Had two of the best massages of my life here. I will definitely be back again.

I have been getting massages for 25+ years. Originally I am from Chicago and moved to Austin in 2006. I have been a chronic pain sufferer for 25+ years and on serious pain medication for more than 20 yrs. I have had all kinds of massages from some of the best in the industry to really good massage therapists here in Austin. Moreover, the only kind of massage I like and get relief with are Deep Tissue and have regularly received them from Men as well. So I purchased a Living Social deal for a 90 minute deep tissue massage. I spoke to the woman twice on the phone prior to the appointment (either Eileen or Cathy… can’t exactly remember tbh). So the day comes and I drive all the way over there only to have this therapist tell me that since I take pain medication she can’t do a deep tissue massage on me and would have to cancel my appointment. I was upset that she never mentioned this before even though we went over my medical issues prior to the appointment. Moreover, I have been getting massages for longer than she has been giving them and by better MTs than her and have NEVER had an issue with not getting a massage bc of taking pain medication nor have I had an issue while getting a massage bc I take pain meds. I do not like when people try to tell me they know my body better than I do. I offered to sign a waiver of liability for her and she still wouldn’t give me a deep tissue massage. She then offered to do some other kind of massage and made it sound like it would be a big relief to the pain I was in. Well, suffice to say it was not. Her assessment of her ability is well beyond her actual skill. And on top of that, she had the audacity to be rude to me after all she put me through. Not worth the time, the hassle or the crappy massage.

Heaven on Earth. I will miss Gina as I am moving away and have never found such an amazing massage therapist ever. I think it’s been at least three years that I’ve been seeing Gina and nothing compares. She puts me to sleep every time, no matter how much I have on my mind! Her soothing touch and the way she assesses my body and just knows exactly what I need. Her prices are reasonable and she doesn’t specials about once a quarter.

Gina Treuter is one of a kind of a massage therapist. She has amazing skills and is so professional and kind. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a heavenly experience, whether you have a musculoskeletal problem you want to work on, or just want to relax and get the stress and tension out of your mind and body.

So much more than just a good massage. My therapist was very thorough in making sure she had the right information to tailor the massage to my specific needs. The space is low key but very clean and comfortable.

I recommend Gina to all my friends. Every person has thanked me raving about the massage and results. She is marvelous in every way. Gina penetrates energetically in a very deep way releasing tight areas bringing balance and euphoria. Plus she is a delightful person!

I loved the result of my massage. I went during my two last weeks of pregnancy seeking relaxation. A well deserved «treat» after 9 months of changes in my body, mind and spirit and before the final act: labor!

I got a deal through living social for a 100 min massage with Eileen. I had to book it about a month and a half out, which was a bummer, but the massage was great. I’ve had a lot of massages throughout the years, and I can say she really knows the body and muscle structure really well. She was really attuned to the areas of my body that needed more attention, as opposed to just spending equal time everywhere, which I appreciate.

I have been seeing Gina for a few years. I have followed her to three locations. Yes, she is that good. I love her online booking system. Her prices are fair and she does an amazing job. I always feel amazing when I leave. I am never sore but I know I got a great massage. I highly recommend Gina. I feel blessed that I have found her and don’t really want to share her but she deserves the praise.

Got a great deal through LivingSocial and the reviews were mostly good, so I gave them a shot.
Gina was fantastic. She asked plenty of questions to make sure she would hit all the areas I wanted to be worked on, and the only time she talked was to quietly ask how I was doing every 15 – 20 minutes or so. Very respectful and relaxing.
The massage even included a hot towel foot-​wrap and went longer than expected! I walked out of there feeling way more relaxed than I normally do after a massage, and I woke up feeling like a million bucks the next day. The music was a bit too new-​agey for my tastes, but the massage was great for the price. Plus I got a coupon for my next visit!

My wife got me a massage here with a living social voucher. Unfortunately, she did not tell me the right day and we did not know until the reminder showed up on Sunday, 24 hours prior. We tried rescheduling online but it did not work since it was already within 24 hours. This was a bit frustrating so be mindful and double check the confirmation email when you schedule the appointment.
The massage itself was great and we have not seen a better value or had a better massage in the Austin area. It is in an office with other health professionals but the massage table was nice and with my eye closed and the music in the background, it was very relaxing. I would go back without question. If not for the scheduling mishap, this would have been a 5-​star experience.

Came via Groupon Deal. First of all. The pictures are NOT what this place looks like. Its in a medical building and its very just weird and awkward. You come into a waiting room with no sign of what to do at all. And there is no nice view of the lake. The rooms are just small tiny office building rooms with a massage table, some soothing music and thats it. So if you are thinking a relaxing spa… this is not your place.
The massage itself… my massage was pretty good. Not the best Ive ever had but definitely not the worst, he did a good job of draping but I recommend bottoms because they moved and adjusted my body in weird ways which might have made me uncomfortable in some instances if I hadn’t been covered down there!
And «checking out» was really strange too, since I came with a groupon there was no real checkout process, so luckily i had cash to tip the guy, but he basically was walking me back to waiting room before i said, do you need my printed groupon? so since there is no receptionist or someone you can pay before or after just know that you have to settle it with your masseuse.
All in all, it was probably worth the ½ price groupon I paid (and they didn’t give me my $ 25 gift card), but I wouldn’t pay full price and just felt a little awkward the whole time… wasn’t quite the relaxing experience I had wanted but my kinks are gone… probably will never see this building again.

I hate to give a bad review but I just feel if I don’t, this may happen to other people.
I got a living social deal here for a 75 min massage for $ 55. The reviews were great so I bought 2. I went for a prenatal massage and it had to be one of the poorest and unprofessional massages I ever received. I had it with Eileen and while she was a very nice woman and took the time to explain how I should sit at my desk to alleviate back pain, her massage was very weak and very inconsistent. She explained because i was pregnant she could not address the areas I had the most tension, like my upper back, legs and feet. I thought to myself, then what is left to massage?
I’ve had many massages at spas all over the country as well as prenatal massages, including a few at a spa just for pregnant women and have never been told that massaging my upper back could cause miscarriage. If that were true pregnant women all over would have issues!
The room is no frills, which I don’t mind at all as long as I get a quality massage but it just wasn’t there. If the highlight of the massage is on my forearm, it speaks to how bad the rest of it was. It was 75 minutes of light sweeps along my body, no pressure at all and to make things worse, she talked about her personal life the entire time. So not only could I not relax, I laid there waiting for the massage to somehow get better. And it never did. I felt like it was a waste of my time and money. I wouldn’t even pay $ 20 for that deal.
If you have to go, I would recommend requesting a different therapist.

I’ve had several massage sessions here with Eileen and I am very pleased. She seems very «tuned in» and always asks what areas you want her to work on before she gets started. It’s not a typical formulaic massage either — she seems to tailor approach depending on what is going on for you at the time. For example, she spends more time on my right shoulder since it’s my dominant hand and I work on a computer.
She always has relaxing music playing and is very sensitive to the temperature in the room and whether or not you are comfortable. I love the fact that she has a glass of water ready for me after the massage. The facility is tucked away in a business park, but once you walk inside, the rooms are tastefully decorated and very relaxing. I’ll definitely be back and I will make sure I’m scheduled with Eileen.

I got a 75 minute Swedish massage from Monique. It was lovely. She did a great consultation and gave me a few ideas for releasing tension at home. The environment she created was both relaxing and friendly. I have a lot of work and family stress in my life, that I was able to make progress towards releasing. I will be going back.

BEST massages my husband and I have EVER had! Simple as that.
(NOTE: My husband had Monique, and I had Alicia.)

The owner of Heart Hands Wellness contacted me in response to my first review and offered me a discount on a massage from another therapist. I saw Alicia, and she was great! I highly recommend her.

I recently had a 100 minute massage with Monique ter Haar, and it was by far the best massage I’ve ever had. She provided a very warm and welcoming environment/​atmosphere. She was also very knowledgeable about the body and mind. I highly recommend a massage from her.

Thank you, Living Social, for 100-​minutes of heaven! Bought a deal from them online for a much-​needed, post-​race massage, and boy did I grab a steal!
First off, shout-​out to Gina for being flexible with her schedule! Once she heard I wanted a massage on the day after a big race, she didn’t hesitate to make an exception in her usual schedule to make room for me – thanks!
Their website clearly states that the «therapy rooms» are inside an allergy-​friendly, «scent-​free clinic,» so I knew going in that Heart Hands Wellness was not a salon-​spa-​type place. In fact, it’s nested in a corner of a business park off Bee Caves. Despite its simple exterior, each private room inside is intimate and quiet, allowing for a relaxing, mental-​getaway.
Before we started, Gina and I discussed the areas I needed work on, as well as what I liked and disliked about massage experiences I had in the past. She explained her philosophy of massage therapy to me, and, once we were on the same page, the session started.
Gina used what she described as Advanced Integrated Massage techniques, meaning, she didn’t simply provide one type of massage (ie. sports, deep-​tissue, swedish… etc.), she incorporated techniques from various types of massages, based on what she could tell my body needed. Fabulous! She worked both sides of my body, but without the same, cookie-​cutter techniques on each side, and my body is thankful for her discernment! My ever-​problematic «Mommy Muscles» were relieved and loosened for the first time in over 9 months, and my torn-​up leg muscles definitely got a nice, lactic acid flush. Oooh, and thank you for the bonus feet massage!
At the end of the session, I wanted to melt into the lavender, eucalyptus bed. I felt like a champ, and if just one session with Gina will have that affect, you can bet I’ll be seeing her again!
