LMT

Bio

Astrid has a Bachelors of Science Degree in Natural Health from Clayton College of Natural and Holistic Health and she graduated from the Houston School of Massage in 2014. Astrid's style is a combination of Lomi Lomi, Deep Tissue, and Swedish massage.

Astrid's goal is to take the client into a deep relaxation with movements that mimic the soft flow of the ocean while relieving stress and tension with deeper strokes, and help assist blood and lymph flow for the stimulation of waste and toxin elimination. With the use of her forearms and hands she creates fluid, rhythmic motions achieving a deep sense of harmony and balance both mentally and physically.

 

Back and neck pain, shoulder tension, tension headaches, sciatic pain,  stubborn knots and general muscle tension is greatly relieved and loosened. Astrid uses gentle, yet deep and detailed work and firm pressure while incorporating trigger point, myofascial release and stretches.

Chris

Senior Spa Manager

Bio

​My hope is to be a friendly and calming presence that guides you through your blossoming. I have been a part of the Blossom family for over 2 years and have worked with a large number of our therapists. This experience makes me confident that I can suggest therapists that can
most benefit you. Give us a call, tell me what your needs are and I’ll be happy to help. I managed Massage Envy locations for 3 years. I loved being able to watch people transform through the power of massage but I didn’t like having to sell a membership to them afterward.
This would normally disturb people’s peace and I felt awful. I’m so happy to be at Blossom because here we do not pressure you into commitments. We can just focus on providing a relaxing and healing sanctuary. I can’t wait to witness your betterment through massage.
