Lauterstein and Conway provided me a strong foundation in massage while changing my life. The teachers and staff were... always supportive and the bond I formed with my classmates was truly one of a kind. Definitely a very memorable chapter of my life ❤️🙏🏻read more

One of the best kept secrets in Austin, which is why I'm hesitant to tell you about it. 🙂
Massages are an expensive... and splurge-y affair. I don't know many people who can afford to receive quality massages on a regular basis--they're just too damn expensive. With Lauterstein-Conway, however, affordability is not an issue. Here's why this gem is one of the best kept secrets in Austin and here's some info to help you decide if it's right for you:
- $35 for a one hour massage by one of their student interns. The massages are a real, straight-up 60 minutes, not 45 or 50 like some of the other places that advertise an "hour".
- By law, you are not allowed to tip (since they are practicing for their license).
- Student interns performing massage are professional, friendly, and eager to do a good job. When you finish your massage, you have to fill out a feedback form that the student reviews with you, so depending on your feedback, things could be slightly awkward.
- The facilities, beds, and linens are squeaky clean. And while there's isn't a water feature, candles, or big leather chairs like many spas have, the facilities are perfectly acceptable for the price you're paying.
- You're massage does not take place in a private room, but in a large room sub-divided by floor-to-ceiling curtains. So, while you have visual privacy, you will be able to hear everything going on around you.
- Everything runs on time, and the office staff are helpful, friendly, and professional.
- They book up very quickly and you'll likely have to schedule at least two weeks in advance.
Please don't go to Lauterstein....I don't want it to become any more difficult to get an appointment than it already is. 😉read more
