Something Sacred Massage and Birthcare

I have seen Audra many times now, having lived here in Seattle for two years. In Atlanta, I received semi-​regular massage, and it was a nightmare finding just the right massage therapist; but once I find one, I stick with them. I am always skeptical and critical, and my expectations were not very high based on a group-​on; however, I was blown away by the experience.
First, the space is very inviting and very comforting. It really gives a vibe that allows total relaxation. Audra offers water, tea, and aromatherapy. There is something to be said for the space you receive massages in, and this one really compliments the service.
Second, she sits you down and really tries to understand what you need and where focus should be; she then incorporates that through location, products used, and type of massage. For example, I most recently saw her a few days before a half marathon to focus on some training pain that I had in my legs. She tailored the massage with an Arnica blend to reduce my swelling, and used a more sport-​focused massage. The marathon was amazing, my legs did great without the swelling. I have also seen her for tension in my back, and previous swelling issues. One last thing to mention: I am a t1 diabetic, and she is VERY aware and accommodating to my insulin pump during the massage; she even went out of her way to be more knowledgable about my disease.
Third, online appointment booking and insurance. YES. If you have never booked appointments this way, it is amazing. I have booked appointments mid-​meeting at work, when I knew I was going to need it, haha. On this site, there are often specials, too. Speaking of specials, Audra sends out email messages when she has last minute slots and discounted pricing. I really appreciate that. She can go through insurance, and while I wasn’t able to use that option this year, I did last year, and plan to this upcoming year. She really made that a super painless process, even though I know using the insurance puts so much more administrative strain on her end. Paying just a co-​pay for a fabulous massage? Yes.
The hot stones and tuning forks are a great addition that you usually pay extra for at other places, but are included in her massages; it really completes the experience.
If you are on the fence and depend on the real reviews of others (like I really do, I would not have even given her a chance if she did not have so many glowing review previously), then I can honestly tell you that you won’t regret this one. The service, and Audra herself make such a positive impact on my life.
A+++

I’ve been seeing Audra for over a year now. She gives a great massage and has been an awesome resource in general for health related matters. She’s familiar with a variety of different methodologies incorporates aromatherapy and hot stones in with every session.

I am so excited I found Audra!
I am new to the area and bought a living social deal for her massage. I am usually very hesitant about doing this — but I saw she had great reviews so I thought what the heck, I might as well.
I wound up getting lost and being late, to which Audra stayed on the phone and directed me literally until I pulled into the parking space… how nice is that?
Her place is small and clean but very inviting. I’ve gotten hundreds of massages over the years and I can honestly say this is one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Audra used hot stones, oils and lotion. She used great pressure and I felt so comfortable with her! I also liked that she had a little waterfall in the background and covered my eyes with an eye pillow while I was on my back. Her energy is positive and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about her style.
So to top all of this off, she also has an online scheduling option which is super easy and great. I can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic massage and pregnancy care. I am 39 weeks and was in desperate need of a massage. I booked the pregnancy induction massage from the special advertised on Living Social. It was incredible. I have never felt so relaxed. I will definitely be back.

This is my first «real» full body massage. In the past I’ve had facials and body wraps with some massage in the past and they were excellent. But in comparison, Audra was more thorough and used versatile techniques; she used various ways of making me feel safe and relaxed. Warm and contoured bed made me want to sleep. The massage included use of turning forks, hot stones, aromatherapy, oils, and more. This is because Audra’s massage is just as much about the spiritual, emotional, and mental components of the body as it is the physical (you’ll know what I mean at the end of the hour therapy).
Audra’s business is a small, local, and ‘green’ one. Nice to know she uses hypoallergenic paraben-​free massage lotion as well as biodegradable hypoallergenic soap to wash the sheets

Audra is the best massage therapist I have ever had! I originally went to her because I had a minor injury in my ankle from playing tennis. And she did a great job of relieving tension from my ankle muscles as well as giving me tips about exercises to do to make them stronger.
Since then I have been going to her regularly. She has such a welcoming and soothing studio and such a wonderful spirit and attitude that immediately puts your body at ease and helps your mind to relax. I fully trust my body with Audra and always look forward to visiting her every few weeks for an hour of relaxed body work and several days of happy body and mind that follow because of it.
She is also very knowledgeable about body posture. If you work at the computer a lot or sit at desk for long hours, make sure to talk to her. She’ll have some great advice for you. Oh, did I mention she is a Yoga and NIA instructor too?

Audra is amazing! While I’ve had a lot of massage therapists, Audra is my first experience with prenatal massage. She is able to explain why certain parts of my body hurt as my pregnancy progresses and then she gets to work on them. I really value her expertise. She’s also really great about holding the kind of space you need: when I’m feeling chatty, we chat; when I want quiet relaxation, she seems to tune in to that immediately. She’s made what would have been a difficult pregnancy (due to old injuries) a time that I enjoy and appreciate everyday.

The best prenatal massage I’ve ever had! Audra has serious skills and she’s a great person too!

I bought the Groupon Now after reading all the good reviews on Unilocal,and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. I really enjoyed the aromatherapy, hot stones, and tuning forks that were incorporated into the massage. It was my first time on a contoured bed too, which was nice. Audra created a very relaxing atmosphere, and used great massage techniques with strong hands. I already booked my next appointment to go back (the online scheduling is very handy)! Highly recommend!

Audra must be magic! She is great about finding exactly where your knots are and releasing them. Her studio is incredibly relaxing and her contoured (and heated!) massage table is one of the best I’ve been on. Also, I’m not one for super «new-​agey» massage techniques (like reiki, etc) but I swear the tuning fork thing works.

Audra is AMAZING! I used to get Hot Stone massages from her back when her kids went to the Boys & Girls Club I worked for and she was in school to be a doula. I have since moved to the Eastside and lost contact with her, but have been dreaming about her heavenly massages for nearly 10 years! I’ve written other reviews for different massage places so it’s not like I haven’t tried to find a comparable masuesse, but no body compares to her. Hands down the absolute most consistent, best massages I’ve received before or since.
Now that I know her location I will be making some appointments with her heavenly healing hands! If you want to dream of the massages you get for nearly 10 years after you get them, then book your appoitment today!

I purchased a massage with Audra through Groupon now (a great deal at $ 35). You’ll want to schedule the massage first– she has a convenient online scheduling tool — and then purchase the Groupon.
The space is lovely and the table is comfortable. Audra was very attentive to what I wanted to have worked on and was very conscientious. It was a great massage and I even left with a useful list of stretches and exercises to do at home.
