Karmassage

Brandy did an awesome job working on my tight muscles that were giving me mobility issues. She focused on the areas I needed the most and really worked on them. She also showed me stretches and techniques to do to maintain my mobility.
The ability to make an appt online is awesome! Her prices are more than reasonable for the amount of work she puts in. She was easy and open to talk to. I will definitely be back.

Brandy offers true Therapeutic massage and is far and above any therapist I have used historically. I have over the years tried to incapacitate myself through multiple injuries, car accidents lifting more than I should you name it. Brandy keeps mw walking and moving. This is not something you will get from one of those «30 minute massage» places where the therapist change often. Even if they are well trained they cannot work in the mill like environment and often leave and even give up the dream of therapeutic massage and helping people through healing touch. Cost is extremely reasonable for the service.

I’ve been going to Brandy for deep-​tissue massages for more than 10 years. She’s a miracle worker with solid knowledge of how the body works. She’s diagnosed injuries that physical therapists and doctors have missed. She has massaged my spouse, my kids at various ages and my senior-​aged mom, all to raves!

I’ve been seeing Brandy every other week for 2+ years. Totally amazing massage therapist (and person)! I have chronic pain in my wrists due to working at a computer all day. My neck, shoulders, and back are also incredibly tight. She’s able to get in there super deep and really work out all those kinks. This is a very intense massage!
I feel like a totally different person after each massage. I’m completely relaxed and float out of the room. Would highly recommend her.

I am a long time client of Brandy’s, and give her my highest recommendation. She is a very skilled massage therapist, and a great person. She has helped me into a new state of well-​being that had made a big difference in my life. I view my regular visits with Brandy as an essential part of keeping in good shape. She is very good about giving individualized attention and developing a plan that fits your particular condition and issues. If you are thinking about massage for the first time or looking for a therapist — call Brandy. You will be glad you did. And you will meet a great and cool person as well.

Both Brandy and Ruth are experienced, but all my visits have been with Brandy. She provides excellent therapy for sports related problems. Brandy has both strong hands and sensitivity in her ability to find trouble spots and the release points to solve problems.
The office is pleasant, the on-​line scheduler is very convenient, and I never have had to wait after arriving for an appointment. Highly recommended for therapeutic massage.
Also, in the warmer months, it is really nice that there are some big shade trees around the parking area.

There are two fantastic things about this place right off the bat! First, they allow you to make appointments online! That’s huge for me as I never seem to find time to call to make appointments. I made an appointment for Saturday on a Thursday night, so it was nice that so many times were still available. The second thing is always a bonus for me: location. I don’t know why it’s hard to find decent businesses up here in North Austin. This place is so close to me that I biked to my appointment!
My appointment was with Ruth. I arrived just in time as it took me a bit longer to bike there than I thought it would. Ruth was very gracious and did not mind that I was sweating like a pig from riding so fast. She was super understanding, very nice, and did everything I had asked. For a small woman, I was very impressed with the pressure she was able to apply to my knots. I will definitely be returning.

Karmassage is a one-​woman therapy business run by Brandi Wiles-​Credeur, who has practiced massage therapy in Austin for quite some time now from what I know. If you are looking for a massage therapist that falls in between the cheaper, sometimes questionable, strip mall therapists and the more expensive day spas all over our wonderful city, try Karmassage. Also, if you are a massage regular, I especially recommend Karmassage, because Brandi is affordable, personal, and someone who keeps up with your therapeutic history.
I’ve had the 60-​minute deep tissue and hot stones, and felt amazingly relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards. Once, I became so relaxed in a hot stone massage that I kept falling in and out of a heavy doze! That was definitely one of my best sessions! Most recently, I went in with a lower back strain (probably exercise-​related), and Brandi concentrated on this area before going into the full body work. The next morning the pain was nearly gone, and I felt much relief.
Pros include no lobby waiting, online appointment scheduling (including gift certificates), personable yet professional, preference for room temperature, calming music, all organic oils and lotions, personalized therapy, close attention to problem areas, physical as well as nutritional guidance, and outside reading suggestions. The latter is reflective of the fact that Brandi is very dedicated to her patients feeling empowered to educate themselves so that they can foster their own healing practices. She also always asks about injuries, soreness, and areas of concern prior to your session. And she is open to conversing during the massage (and is a great conversationalist) but will maintain a quiet room for you too — it is your preference.
Cons include limited hours during the summer, northwest location (if you’re a southie), no other services outside of and shirodhara and deep tissue massage therapy with the following add-​ons: hot stone massage, customized clinical aromatherapy, and thai herbal massage.
Ultimately, the «compassionate touch» that Brandi credits her business to have and the high quality of massage therapy keeps me coming back. I’ve never felt like just someone on the schedule here, and always leave feeling like my session was worth every penny, a nice reward for the mind, body, and soul.
