Our style
Over the years, Austin Ashiatsu began transforming the standard ashiatsu routine into a specialized therapeutic experience, we call Ashiatsu Therapeutic Massage. ATM is our own brand of ashiatsu curated from a dynamic blend of traditional massage modalities transformed by the power of the skillful foot.
Every therapist who comes on-board at Austin Ashiatsu is taken through our 3-month intensive Ashiatsu Therapeutic Massage training program led by owners, Mandy and Andrea. All of our therapists are required to complete this intensive training and mentorship to be eligible to join our team of top notch therapists.
High quality service is a primary value that has maintained throughout every aspect of building and running Austin Ashiatsu. This is precisely why you can feel confident you will receive the highest quality therapeutic experience every time, regardless of the therapist you choose.
