No hyperbole, I believe Larissa West is the absolute best massage therapist in Austin. She has a deep understanding of the human body, how it moves, where it holds tension, and how one area of the body is tied to another and may impact it. She's strong so she can get deep into your muscles and tendons. I always have to ask other massage therapists to go stronger but not Larissa. I always feel a thousand times better after a massage with her, my tension is relieved and I'm more in tune with my body.
On a personal level, she's also just a grounding calming person. There are good vibes surrounding her and her practice. She's communicative, smart, and open.
Lastly, prices are a thing. Hers are very reasonable. Just book the 90 minutes because you won't regret it.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you so much Dafna, reading this truly warmed my heart and soul! It was so great working with you today, and I really can’t wait to see you again! Thank you for helping my practice grow and blessing the space with your rock star energy!

Larisa is fantastic! She is great at identifying what you need most and making real progress improving chronic pain and tightness. Beyond great deep massage work, she is especially skilled at incorporating structural bodywork, thai message, and stretching as a component of the overall treatment.

Dec 14, 2014Previous reviewJulia 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.

I have had such a great experience going to Larisa. She has been my go-to LMT for years now. It's great to work with someone who cares about their clients and goes the extra mile

Larisa is the best! She really KNOW HER STUFF. She is super in tune to the body. She took one look at me when I walked in and recognized my hips were rotated and a slew of other things. She has been a huge help to me with pain I was having. I can't recommend her enough. She is also just the nicest human and really cares about her clients.

Every massage I have had here has been excellent. I have been working with Larisa to help gain flexibility and mobility, as well as ease tension. I have noticed a marked difference in my lower back mobility. In addition to stretch and massage, she has given me helpful postural pointers and exercises to add to my home routine. Highly recommend!!

I've been seeing Larissa for 90 minute massages twice a month for a few months now and there is no comparison for how amazing she is. She has a calm, peaceful demeanor, but don't let that fool you into thinking she can't get into your body and work out deeply held tension patterns. She utilizes a variety of stretching, deep, and Thai massage that are opening up my body in ways that nobody else has been able to. Make no mistake, this is not easy work. This is for unlocking long held tension and takes commitment and trust. If you want to heal your body on a foundational/functional level, treat yoself to some time with Larissa. She's the best!

Larisa is an amazing massage therapist! My husband and I used to see her on the regular before we moved away. We miss those healing hands! She is the kind of therapist that knows when to give strong or light pressure, and always finds the spots that need work. We loved how we felt after our regular massages with Larisa. Go see her as soon as you can!

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! - 161427869Jul 29, 2021Updated review
Came on back...
Saw the owner. Her hands are quite magical....and she's not afraid of deep neck work (so many are) and I slept all through the night--not waking up to neck pain...this was WONDERFUL.
I appreciate that she reached out and offered to make up for my poor experience the other day with that fella (I still cant remember his name) and will come back to her specifically for the neck (which troubles me often)
Thank you again!!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Where do I start? i'm kinda pissed---so this is gonna be a good one.
Purchased the "Massage" on Groupon---which is maybe 2-3 dollars less than what you can purchase from them, but I digress. I get a little lost finding them, so I call..explain where I am, yet instead of jut saying "O you are close, don't park in the shared parking lot...just park over here...and this is where you go"...did that mythical convo happen?
Of course not. So I park...in the heat...walk..in the heat...to go to a massage house...that's hot.
The dude had some blow up bed on the ground for "stretch" work...and looked confused when I said I wasn't there for that. So he gives me a intake, which I fill out in detail (problem spots, SPECIFIC areas that need more attention with deep tissue & trigger release (like they advertised on website)
Well..what do I get? Some strange 'energy work" (with ol' boy placing his hands on me, like he was praying...the whole time I'm actually praying he get down to the body work....oh boy...between the soft caresses (hey, you aren't my man) and concentrated work in UN-requested areas....I got up and left outta there still feeling stiff and mad. My home self-care with my lacrosse ball on my back against the wall TRUMPED this dude!
NO TIP!!!
I can unapologetically say that...and I can tip pretty well (for ood service) i'm avid massage and spa goer--so I know quality work...and this ain't it! I'm pissed that I spent 100 for 60 mins worth of shoddy service.
Can I have that back please???
of course not....moving on. - Jackie W.Austin, TX84182Jan 8, 2023
I can say, without a doubt, Larisa is the best massage therapist I've ever had. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and her massages and stretch therapy sessions have helped me tremendously! She has also helped with my TMJ. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking to either relax or work on an ailment.

I am not just saying this...I think I had the best massage of my life at West Wellness. Many of my experiences so far have been more spa based so while relaxing, it didn't really address my physical problems. My massage at West Wellness was thoughtful and personalized and you could tell they were extremely educated in their field. I don't live in Austin or else I would be going back every day! I cannot recommend it enough!!
