I strained something in my shoulder/neck last weekend and it continuously got worse each day. I scheduled a massage with Maryam to focus on the area that was painful and she was amazing! She smart, knowledgeable, kind and intuitive. I've never had a massage with anyone who knew so much about what they were doing. She used breathing techniques that were really helpful in targeting the pain, very cool! I made two more appointments with her and will be making it a regular part of my self care routine. The atmosphere is very peaceful and everyone was kind and welcoming! What an amazing place in our neighborhood

I had a wonderful experience with Larisa. She really knew the body and understood what to do to help me. I needed a massage to solve my problems, not just for relaxation and it was the perfect match for me. I already booked 2 more appointments! If you are just looking for a swanky place that doesn’t really know the body but is capable of running their hands back and forth in a motion, this is not the place.

5.0 star rating 8/4/2019 I have gone to Rising Spiral Massage several times this year, and each time I have felt such gratitude for the peace and care that Julia and the team have built into the Rising Spiral Environment. This time I worked with Maryam, which was simply a joy. She offered gentle massage that allowed for quiet exploration of tension, and also a sense of agency for me. I felt like I was very deeply understood. I felt such peace and comfort that I later brought a friend who was working through a physical trauma. This was handled sensitively and kindly and with deep compassion and insight. Much gratitude for the immeasurable wisdom, skill and compassion you all offer this community.

I love having Rising Spiral in the neighborhood! Massages in walking distance, yes please!

Maryam Ghazi is an amazing massage therapist. She listens to exactly what I want and need from a massage. Can't recommend her enough.

I highly recommend Larisa for her healing services. I had an injury that I couldn't seem to shake and Larisa was recommended to me by one of my Yoga teachers as the therapist to seek out. I'm not opposed to using one of the chains for any regular massage, but the staff and facilities at Rising Spiral are simply superior. Everything about the experience from the calming entrance to the tea and books in the waiting area to the sheets on the tables was just top notch. Give Rising Spiral a try. And thank you Larisa.

One of the best massages I have ever received!

Natasha is amazing! She works out my knots or problem areas and I feel so much better after.

I am SO GLAD to have found this place! I just had a thai yoga massage with Maryam and it was so delightful! The pressure was deep in all the right places, she helped with my tightest places and did some beautiful gentle stretching that felt AMAZING!! I get a lot of massage and could really tell that she knew what she was doing! Also, the studio is beautiful! So clean and decorated beautifully. The temperature was cool (which most people like but I get really cold) so they brought me the perfect blanket to keep me cozy while she worked. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town and am telling my Austin friends to go here when they need pain relief or just some quality self care!

Wow, so good! This place is amazing and full of incredibly knowledgable massage therapists who really know what they are doing and working with. I'm sold. Definitely highly recommended!

A massage at Rising Spiral is a healing and rejuvenating experience. You walk in with pain and you leave feeling much better AND with knowledge on how to care for yourself later. Every massage I've received at RS has been wonderful, healing even nurturing.

I just received an excellent session from Maryam! She gave a very good deep tissue, structural realignment and focused triggered point release kind of treatment. She was detailed and paid close attention to detail. If been a bodyworker/massage therapist for 15 years and have had many massages and Maryam is in the top for sure! Julia was also very kind on the phone answering questions as well. Space in clean and inviting. Thanks again! I'll see you next time I'm in Austin

I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with Larissa and it was wonderful. Larissa is so knowledgeable and such a sweet spirit. I felt so nice afterward, she found spots I didn't know were tight. This studio is lovely and I recommend Larissa, she is amazing!

I am still floating from my awesome experience with Maryam I don't enjoy hard massages and have found most past experiences painful and unenjoyable. However, I now feel enlightened and optimistic that I have found someone who can deliver a soft yet powerful massage I would 10/10 recommend and plan to go again asap!

I had an amazing experience today - such a great "hurts so good" massage that I felt was exactly what I needed. I have already scheduled two more massages for the next few weeks. thrilled I found them and can't wait to go back.

Miriam gave me one of the best massages of a lifetime!

Larissa does a great job of removing tension from my neck and shoulders!

Amazing staff and experience

Natasha is one of the best massage therapists I've ever had. She knows exactly what to do to help alleviate your tension patterns.

From the moment you walk into Rising Spiral you know you are in for a treat. The environment is beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully curated--down to the turmeric chai tea I was offered. The overall commitment to wellness means that each staff member is not only an expert in various types of massage, but also has a working knowledge of other modalities such as yoga, acupuncture, nutrition, etc... My massage with Larissa was the best massage I've ever had. She truly customized her techniques to my specific body imbalances and has such a calming presence. I left feeling simultaneously relaxed and invigorated. I booked my next appointment before I left the building!

I feel like I hit the jackpot finding Natasha. Ive been very ill over the last 5-6 months and have not been able to move or exercise the way I need to in order to feel like myself. My body has lost so much mobility and twisted me up in chronic pain. Natasha took her time to recognize the biggest sources causing imbalance. I feel like my puzzle pieces are sorted and more like a human than a frozen zombie. I'm so excited to continue this journey with Natasha to reclaim my healthy body. Absolutely couldn't recommend her more!

My shoulder has been hurting for two months before I decided to do something about it. It felt maybe it's only a pulled muscle and slept on it wrong, however it did not go away. ....until I found Natasha. She worked on my shoulder and it felt better right after. Her after care advise is spot on, too. Apparently, I'm out of shape. I'm now pain-free, thanks to Natasha!

I have had the pleasure of seeing Natasha and Maryam and I love them both. Natasha has more of a structural approach to her massage and together we find the culprits and work through the pain! Maryam is super intuitive and seems to find areas that speak directly to her and she quietly sneaks up on them. I am not super "in tune" with my aches, I tend to ignore them until I can't ... these two have helped me target areas that have been ignored and over-used. I highly recommend Maryam and Natasha.

Fundamentally better than any massage practice I’ve ever encountered

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at Rising Spiral! All of the massage therapists are professional yet warm and personal - and do an amazing job of catering each treatment to your specific needs. My last few visits I have seen Maryam Ghazi and her massages have been amazing and get better with each visit. All in all I'm very grateful to have such an awesome business in the 'hood!

Today was a weird day and my back was hurting so bad. I was trying to find a good place to get a massage. I knew it was a long shot because most places were booked up. I've been friends with Julia for years. I gave her a call and was able to get in with Maryam today! She was amazing! I've had a lot of massages. This was a specific tailored massage to my needs. She looked at my body alignment and gave me exactly what I needed. My favorite part was when I was on my side and she was working on the side of my torso into my hip. I've never had that before and it felt amazing. If you want to try someone different please try Maryam!

I have been going to Rising Spiral Massage for a little over a year. Julia, Larisa, and Natasha are all amazing! I'm currently receiving massages from Natasha for pain management, and I have noticed a huge improvement. I've struggled with chronic pain for years; but earlier this year I developed costochondritis, which made things excruciatingly worse. On top of that, a couple of months ago, I lost range of motion in my neck. Natasha was a godsend for me. I no longer suffer from costochondritis and can now turn my head without wincing in pain. If you're hurting and can't seem to ease the pain, I highly recommend putting your trust in Rising Spiral Massage.

Natasha is a true healer! Helps me evaluate my body alignment and gives me great massages. Studio is always welcome and happy.

Just had an amazing massage and acupuncture treatment! Highly recommend you come and check it out this week they're having specials and donating to a great cause!

Maryam Ghazi is a wonderful massage therapist. She helped resolve chronic neck pain for me and gave me 5 stretches I can do at home to help keep myself in good condition. Professional, nurturing, technically proficient, good energy. Totally worth it! Book with her today and you will feel better tomorrow. Also, the reception room is cute with a little water and tea station and a library of great health, wellness and spirituality themed books.

Decided to fly to Austin on a whim. Woke up before the flight and couldn't turn my head without pain. After landing found Rising Spiral in online search. Booking was easy. Check in as well. The digs are cool. Maryam was awesome. Felt relieve right away. If I lived in Austin you can bet I'd be a client of Maryam and would be better off for it.

Rising Spiral is a special place! Julia and Larissa worked with me throughout my first and second pregnancies, and the results were impressive. Between Body Work with Julia and Bowspring classes with Larissa, labor was "easy" both times. I ended up in better shape after giving birth than before I got pregnant! They have an holistic approach to helping people be their best, and it really works. I can't recommend them enough.

Loved this place! Very clean and serene.

Incredible massage! Left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to get back at it

Larisa is awesome, the technique she uses are different and far better than other massages I have had at other places. Will definitely come back and recommend.

Rising spiral does a great job at providing a warm, welcome feeling. Then, their therapists are first class!

Love this place! Have back issues and they know exactly what questions to ask to give me a stellar massage. Highly reccomend!

Larisa is not only the best masseuse I've ever had, but she's also a gem to talk to. She is knowledgeable, caring, and extremely comforting. They're doing it right at Rising Spiral! 🙂

An amazing massage, one of the best I've ever had! Such lovely people that work there too, definitely a must try!

Great spot for peace and quiet and restoration of the body and mind. The ladies here are all pros and super talented and warm and caring.

Great massage!

Larisa and Julia are so very sweet and kind, it totally makes my day and warms my soul!

Excellent experience with Laris. Great massage, very therapeutic and relaxing. Can't wait for my next one.

It's always a wonderful experience!!!!!

Of all the massages I've had Larisa's massage was truly exceptional. Her integration of stretches into her technique left me feeling so wonderfully cared for and relaxed. A truly gifted therapist.

In fairness I work in this building, but I have had massages from all three of the massage therapists here and they are all wonderful. I also recommend them to my own patients when massage is needed. (Is if ever not?)... Julia, Kari and Larisa all bring skill and passion to their work and are talented healers. I can't say enough great things about them and of course the space is extremely welcoming and calming!

Best massage therapists in town. Julia and Natasha offer deep tissue and Thai modalities. It's great for athletes looking to get some serious muscle work.

Larisa was fantastic! I had a neck pain that I came in with, but she discovered a periformis issue on my right side which was a major culprit. I came away a new woman. Totally unkinked on both sides of my body. Keep it up!

This is the opposite of a massage mill. Every customer is a singular set of unique problems to be addressed with expertise.This is the most well-trained set of massage therapists in Austin. I recommend every therapist here. I've been getting regular massages for 30 years, and all the therapists here are in my list of the top 5 of massage therapists I've ever used.

I've had 20 90m sessions with Natasha over the past year. Though I leave half in a haze from "massage brain" I can say now with clear mind it's the best massage in Austin for the money. She and the team at Rising Spiral are constantly improving - noticeably impressive, humble, and appreciated. If there were a 6 star option you could only use once, I'd use it here without question.

This place has absolutely changed my life! I went from a lost wandering lifeless soul with no self esteem, confidence, or place, to having so much more and more coming to me all the time! Between the calm, 5-star style ambiance to the loving and warm care of my therapist, Larisa, to even the extracurricular offerings, such as Richard's Monday night meditations, this place is to wherein all lost souls shalst wander. And even if I sound like a sissy for saying so, ever since I've been going there just over about a month ago now, I have not, for the first time in AGES hence, cried myself to sleep at night. NOT ONCE. Please find your way here. This is an absolutely life changing and saving time for me. It can be for you too.

Julia is a miracle worker! She treats everyone as an individual - understands the specific issues you are dealing with and tailors her massages for your needs. I love the combo of thai, deep tissue, and yoga in her massages.

One of the best massages you can get from one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. After my last appt, I still had a pain in one area, and Julia stayed after the appt to work on it some more. Only negative thing I can say about Rising Spiral is that appts are hard to come by now that people have discovered this hidden gem.
