THE GODDESS WITHIN 
Massage for Women's Health
Testimonials


When I initially scheduled a massage with Robin, I was a little nervous because I had 
never had a massage before.  Now, I'm so glad that I did.  Since that first massage I 
have continued to receive massages from Robin for years now and after each one I am able to sleep better, think more clearly, and find that the stress-related pain throughout my body has been alleviated.  While traveling, I have sought out other massage therapists and in comparison am always grateful for the amazing quality of massage I receive from Robin right here at home.  Robin's natural serenity and professionalism make you feel comfortable immediately, and her flawless technique results in therapeutic relaxation every time.  I can't wait for my next massage! --  Dr. Stepura

I’ve had probably hundreds of massages over the last 20 years or so from many different people, but once I found Robin I wouldn’t see anyone else. She truly listens to my needs and modifies her approach accordingly. On my first visit, she explained everything clearly so I felt completely at ease. She discussed with me what my problem areas were and what type of pressure I like. Some therapists cut corners on the types of products or the massage bed they use, but not Robin – she even has a heated massage table for those chilly days when you need a little extra help loosening up those muscles, and she’s educated on the world of aromatherapy so can recommend different essential oils for the specific things that ail you. I’ve had Swedish, shiatsu and hot stones massages from Robin. Because she’s trained in several different types of massage, she really tailors it to make it just right for me, sometimes combining more than one style, and I always leave somehow feeling both completely relaxed and refreshed at the same time. Even though I live in London now, I travel to Austin several times per year, and one of the first things I do is make sure I have at least one massage appointment with Robin on my schedule. Best of all, she’s the only one who always knows exactly how to find those pesky little knots between my shoulder blades! -- Clara B

Robin has been my massage therapist since 2002, and what I love about those sessions is the whole experience - the music, the essential oils, and the body work combined for a total healing experience. Whether I just need to relax or I need extra care for a sore back or headache, I'm always nurtured and taken care of with Robin's therapy. -- Cheryl H.
