Zen Blend Massage

Came in after several months and I wasn’t disappointed. Amber was great. When I come back I will definitely request her.

Great massage by Amber. From the moment I walked in the door the entire experience was awesome. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town.

At first glance this location was sketchy. But do not get deterred, this place is amazing. Amber was the best massage therapist I’ve had!
The flotation tank was the best experience!
Definitely give this place a try!

This place is great. Absolutely loved the floatation tank, very professional education beforehand to help you feel comfortable. Well worth trying if your at all interested.
Amber is an INCREDIBLE massage therapist, I felt very comfortable the whole time and the massage made it tough to come back to reality afterward — true therapy for the soul. Thanks to everyone there for a great experience, I’ll definitely be back!

I recently had my second experience with Zen Blend, and both times were epically amazing. Not only is the staff awesome, but their attitude and the environment reflects the true nature of zen. Simple yet perfect. Kristi took care of my partner and I during the floatation tank package, and Amber took care of us the last visit through the balanced Buddha for two. I couldn’t have imagined either would be so wonderful. Amber and Kristi took such exquisite care of us that after both experiences I would trust anyone they hired and am excited to try their other services. The three and a half hour drive is a small price to pay for a few hours of pure bliss. It’s a small business that is not only providing exactly what they offer, going above and beyond, but in my opinion is destined for success due to the amount of care and attention to detail they provide their clients. A true testament to entrepreneurship done right. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment asap. I’m already planning my next visit ;)

By far… the BEST MASSAGE EVER!!! If you’re stress level is high, do yourself a favor and stop in here! Super nice, low key, and very soothing atmosphere! ! Love this place. BTW, Annette, was my masseuse and she was great!

My girlfriend and I went to Zen Blend last night and it was fantastic. This was my first time having a massage and it was great! The ambience was amazing. We did the «Couples Massage» and it was perfect. Amber and Katie were our Massage Therapists.

My 7 year old is a competitive gymnast and was at the point where her little body was in dire need of some TLC. I took her to Zen Blend and cannot express enough what an amazing experience it was. This was my daughters first massage and Amber took amazing care of her. She spent time walking through everything that was going to happen so she knew what to expect and then just communicated with her during the entire massage. She listened attentively to all of my daughters questions and just treated her with so much respect that my daughter was so trusting and comfortable with her the entire time.
Both my daughter and I felt immediately welcomed when we arrived. All of the staff were so friendly and warm. This was truly an incredible experience and we will be regular Zen Blend members from here on out. I will not go anywhere else.
Thank you Amber and Zen Blend for taking such amazing care of me and my daughter! We will see you again very soon!

I have been to Zen Blend twice now, and have been blown away each time. I have had dozens of massages over the years — from fancy spas in Miami to solo practitioners that come to your house — and Kristi has given me the best massage of my life — twice. I told her where my trouble spots are, and she zeroed in on them with intensity, while still making sure the entire experience was relaxing and soothing. It’s like the physical benefits of a medical massage with the calming, soothing atmosphere of a spa. The location just looks like a house from the outside (it is), but once you walk in you’re transported — the décor, music, aromas, and general ambience are so relaxing, you can feel yourself start to loosen up just walking through the door. And the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of the massage and the atmosphere. I probably won’t go anywhere else in Austin again!

I just got my second massage at Zen Blend and once again it did not disappoint! I love Zen Blend, there is no way you can’t relax at Zen Blend! This time I got my massage from Amber! She was amazing, her energy is calm and caring and let me tell you when you tell her to use deep pressure, she gives you just that! I went in with such a tight and sore upper back and shoulder area, I left feeling like a whole new person! Amber is amazing, Zen Blend is amazing! Thank you Amber for the amazing massage!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Everything was absolutely perfect from booking the appointment, to checkin, to massage to check out.
My partner and I decided on the 2 hour couples package with the amethyst crystal mat treatment time in addition to the massage and I can say is WOW!
I cannot wait to go back. I never want to be massaged by anyone else… ever.
Try this place, you will not be disappointed.

Stacey at Zen Blend was a true pro! She offered up aromatherapy scents and was a calming force before we got started. I asked for firm massage and she definitely delivered! The total Zen Blend experience was a pampering one. Totally recommend this place!

Just great. My wife and I both like deep deep tissue massage, and these ladies were fantastic for 70 straight minutes. Will definately return!

Amber was amazing… thoughtful, attentive, and great at listening/​hearing my needs. The massage was amazing! …she worked out SOOOO many old kinks I’ve had for a very long time. I love this location. The owners have put in a great deal of time and effort to order to make this place relaxing and healing. You can see the love and passion for helping others in every corner of the building.

I am visiting my daughter in Austin. We have had massages at other places, but ZenBlend was the match we were looking for it is peace from the moment you walk in the door. Therapists Shelly & Ashley greeted us with positive energy from the beginning. The massages, hot stones, aromatherapy, peace, the quiet healing we were seeking. We have found our Austin massage destination.

I’ve been here twice, once when it first started out and once several years later surprising my new boyfriend who had never tried the floating tank before. It was already excellent my first visit, and they’ve only gotten better! We had Amber my second visit and she’s incredible, she really gives her all in the massage and you can tell she really loves what she does. Amber was not only talented but very informative and took the time to talk to us about what we could do for our muscles after our massages. We will definitely be back, for the flotation tank and for Amber!

I cannot recommend Zen Blend highly enough. I have visited them several times and each time I leave relaxed, rejuvenated, and so happy that I went. By far and consistently the best massages I have ever had.
The atmosphere of the building is incredibly calming. This is no cookie-​cutter massage studio where they just dim the lights. As soon as you walk in, you are surrounded by warm lighting and a peaceful presence that helps you start to unwind. I love their beautiful waiting room table with inset healing crystals. The massage rooms are very spacious, the beds are comfortable, and there is even a second sitting area for you to relax and gently come back to reality after your massage. Everything feels very intimate. It is all about you. And there are usually tasty chocolates around too!
I love that the massage packages feel way more complete than anywhere I’ve been. Almost every one of their packages just includes everything. Want hot stones or aromatherapy? Just go with the second package and it’s all there for you. The starting price is a little closer to that of a day spa instead of a massage chain, but what you get for you money is so much better than either type of place. The massages are simply amazing. As long as I live in Austin, I will not be Grouponing massages or going to a chain. I will be happily visiting Zen Blend.
And last but not least — the staff is amazing! So kind and sweet. One time I booked a massage after a really hard week. Kristi was kind enough to sit with me and just chat for a while and help me unwind further afterwards. It was so touching and genuine. Good and kind hearted people run and work at Zen Blend.
So I will keep referring friends (any husband who asks what to get his wife, I send here) and I will continue treating myself to Zen Blend. Love love love them!

Most fantastical Spa in Austin. My wife and I used to go to fancy high end spas until we tried Zen Blend. Now Zen Blend is the only way we fix our jinky bones. The décor of this place is super cute, and the masseuses are phenomenal. We always request Amber and Stacy. Really sweet girls. Zen Blend has a very calming, welcoming feel. Love the large rock salt lamp in the relax area. Oh and BTW, Amber and Stacy, thems I mentioned earlier, the sweet, phenomenal masseuses. They may very well be the best masseuses we have ever experienced. And we are seasoned spa goers, so take our unsolicited advice about this.

I love this place! The aura, smell, décor and of course massage is always on point. Im from nyc so I am a little snobby about spas, this small spa is top notch and better than the commercial spas in Austin

My first Zen Blend experience will not be my last. Everything was seamless from booking the massage to settling the bill at the end. Amber is skilled and personable. I’ve been to dozens of massage therapists in my life, so I know a good therapist when I get one. The tea and chocolate after my session was a nice treat to prepare me to renter the busy world outside. Great, relaxing atmosphere.

I got a wonderful prenatal massage from Amber. The whole experience was great. She used essential oils, heated stones and perfect pressure.
I am difinetly going back!

Excellant experience. I have massages regularly so Im always skeptical trying a new place but Stacy did a great job. It was also very clean and inviting. I will definately go again and recommend it to others

Go! Go now! You have to check out Zen Blend. My boyfriend and I just had the «Relaxation Day for Two» at the Maltese Cross location. This is what was included in our particular package:
How does it work? — While one person is receiving their tension melting Hot Stone Zen Massage, the other person enjoys a hour of blissful peace & quiet in the weightless environment of the Floatation tank (then you switch).
How long does it last? — The entire relaxation experience lasts about 3 hours and includes shower time for the Floatation Tank and a relaxing cup of your choice of Three Zen Blend Herbal Teas accompanied by Ghirardelli chocolate after your relaxation session.
How much does it cost? — Because the Massages and Floats occur at the same time, we are able to offer this service for a great price. The total cost is $ 265.00 and includes Two Zen Massages, Two Floats and all the enlightenments.
The «Enlightenments» are some special extras that are all included in this package. Just imagine it, when you first climb under the sheets on that amazingly comfortable massage table, you notice your entire core warm up. This is the «Bio Mat» which is placed in-​noticeably somewhere under the sheets so that there are no lumps in the table or anything. (There must be some kind of witchcraft going on there. haha) It uses infrared heat, and has amethyst crystals embedded in it. Go to their site for more info on that one.
Before I get to the next part I just want to say, Amber. Amber. you have no idea how much you helped me, physically and mentally. This lovely lady is very skilled. She has the innate ability to find every one of your trouble spots. You can choose from a variety of aromatherapy oils for your massage. Lemongrass is my absolute favorite. After you get one area massaged, she busts out the hot stones. OMG the hot stones. I was almost drooling on myself at this point. First you get massaged with the stones, and then she returns for fresh hot stones, and fresh steam towels.
After the hot stone and steam towel treatment, prepare yourself for the awesome, unexpected chill of the peppermint foot massage. (Keep in mind, you’ve just had a hot stone massage and steam towels wrapped around each foot for a few. HEAVEN!
Now FLOAT! Well, shower first of course, then brace yourself for a one-​of-​a-​kind experience! Brian was very helpful and courteous in explaining the entire float process. You can float in the sensory deprivation chamber with or without music, and if you’re a little nervous your first time, you can leave the door open. I’m an all or nothing type, myself. This being my first time, I plugged my ears and climbed into the chamber. Once the door was closed, you’re in complete darkness. The only sound is the sound of your own breathing and your heartbeat. For the first few minutes, you may feel yourself spinning although you’re just floating there. I felt like I’d been returned to the womb. To keep myself from drifting into random thoughts, I would just repeat, in my mind, the words «I AM». It’s whatever works for you. After a few minutes, I had to consciously blink to know whether or not my eyes were open. It’s humid enough to just stare into empty space without it hurting your eyes. (Just don’t get that water in there!!) It’s different for everyone, but I saw things. I saw. purple. Just shades of purple moving across my vision, then I would see black figures, people, random shapes, and a door. There were some intermittent sparks of other colors, but it’s different for everyone. I suddenly feel like painting!
When the float is over, you’ll hear some soothing music to let you know it’s time to exit the chamber. Careful on this one! Sitting up was like raising yourself out of wet concrete (but in a good way). That door is heavy, and the tank is slippery, so really, be careful. I was pushed back into the tank by the weight of the door, and just had to laugh at myself. Take a minute to get your bearings, and you’ll be fine, and take your time. They’re not going to come yell at you to move your booty out the tank. Now, shower and head down for some delicious tea and Ghirardelli chocolates, and some stimulating conversation with your host or hostess.
We will absolutely be back! And, that’s an hour drive for us. Don’t care! Worth it! We love you guys! You have a beautiful establishment!

(I actually went to the one on Slaughter Ln… Copying here too.)

I highly recommend Zen Blend to anyone who wants a fabulous, relaxing, authentic experience! I got my fiancé a Couples massage package for Valentine’s Day via an email coupon.
Don’t be fooled by their poor web & email presence… They obviously put their focus on their amazing facility and professional staff! Though one cool thing is they send reminders via text.
The facility is actually a house, beautifully decorated with a calming ambiance. The entrance is through the kitchen area. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust because it’s very dark in there, with just candles. And it smells lovely because they have an essential oil diffuser going.
We sat down at their big, natural wood dining table, which has an illuminated hole in the middle full of huge chunks of healing salt. That is where they had us sign a release form via iPads.
They led us to a big, dimly lit room with two massage tables. I also recall a black light fish tank and a little station where they kept their hot stones and aroma therapy stuff. Ambient world music was playing in a little iPod.
Our two lovely massage therapists made us feel at home and asked us to undress as far as we were comfortable and get under the sheets face down. They left while we did that. (We’re modest and left our undies on. I removed my bra of course… I don’t really feel the need to involve my genitals, but to each his own!)
It was freezing outside, so I loved that the cushions were heated! There were amethyst Bio-​mats underneath. When they came back in, they wafted lavender and mint aroma near our noses (from underneath).
I would describe my massage as «soothing» and my fiancé described it as «extremely sensual.» I guess because he’s a [hetero] dude. I just sort of lost myself in relaxation, and let all my troubles go… He was probably in fantasy land. ;)
Neither of us had ever had hot stone massages. That was rad… They were super hot & slippery, so the massage therapist would press & glide along our muscles, with a stone in each hand.
Near the end they added more aroma therapy from underneath, and then dinged two tiny cymbals when the massage was complete. They whispered to us that we could take our time getting dressed.
We sloooowwwwly got up and stretched happily when it was over. We had been so quiet the whole time, and just both looked at each other with dumb grins on our faces. ;D We then eased back into the real world with some hot tea and chocolates in a little sitting area. :)
It was really exactly what we both needed. We plan to come back every 3 months or so for a recharge!

Had a wonderful experience. Had a massage and then a time in the sensory deprivation chamber. First time for that and it was not as intense as people try to scare you to believe. But I am experience at meditation so I found it a great opportunity.

With my curiosity about sensory deprivation/​flotation tanks growing over the past few years, I finally decided to book a session at Zen Blend. My partner and I both enjoyed the massage/​float combination, although I think receiving the massage before floating (as I did) would probably be the preferred sequence. The session with Kristi was very relaxing; the addition of hot stones and a heated table to the soothing massage enhanced my increasingly calm, contented state. The transition upstairs to the shower and tank was smooth and the slight anxiety I felt about being enclosed in the small dark space vanished as soon as I lied back and felt my body supported in the buoyant saltiness. I had opted for an initial period of music within the tank (as a potential buffer for my anxiety), however, I think I will ask for silence right from the beginning the next time I float, to allow more time for my thoughts/​mind to drift without any aural distraction. (Side note: the «Waves» soundtrack that signaled the end of my float came on at a particularly loud section of the music — a bit jarring after 40+ minutes of silence. Perhaps the Didgeridoo music that was also offered might be the better choice.)
Zen Blend was highly recommended to me by a friend who had frequented other flotation tanks, in Austin as well as other parts of the country. The whole experience was pleasurable, from Brian’s thoughtful answers while I was scheduling the session to the chocolates and tea afterwards. The only downside was the location, which is too far south for me to ride my bike. In the future, I’ll definitely allow enough time to walk awhile along the trails at Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park (located ½ block from the home-​based business) before driving back home. In my very relaxed state, a few more moments acclimating to the outside world before operating a vehicle would be prudent!

First, let me just say… this place is AMAZING! When you pull up to the spa you are immediately welcomed with covered parking. Stacy and Kristin are so sweet and very helpful. You have the options of drinking water, tea, even wine upon request. But let’s not stop there! Once you enter the room for your massage it is extremely tranquil, inviting, and so peaceful. You are able to choose a scented oil and it was great to know you had an option rather than an oil pre-​selected for you. They were very attentive to your needs and pressure points. I left feeling refreshed and extremely relaxed which made for a better weekend since my appointment was at 10:00am on a Saturday. I highly recommend this place for any stress-​relieving or pampering needs!

Went to zen blend in south Austin. Great great atmosphere. Even the parking lot makes you feel peaceful. Went for a couples massage. 200. Dollars for a fantastic massage, aromatherapy and peppermint foot rub. After had hot tea and chocolate. It was better than I expected. No other spa has topped this
