Truly the best massage I have ever had. I went after I completed finals last semester. Alicia was super kind, a great listener, and a fantastic massager! I will certainly be returning in the future. Her technique was great and the vibe was top notch. I also really enjoyed her playlist!
The reviews were not kidding when they said best massage ever! Found Alicia through class pass and I’m so glad I took a chance. I will be back, best massage and vibes.
I’m a touring musician and after playing 14 shows, my body was super tight when I arrived in Austin. I called Levitate Massage on a Sunday night around 7pm, and Alicia not only answered but even rearranged her schedule to fit me in the next day. That kind of care already blew me away. The session itself was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Alicia truly understands how the body works and functions. In 75 minutes, she released all the tension in my back, lower back, and muscles throughout my body. She even incorporated cupping, which was a game changer. Because of her, I was able to finish the rest of my tour strong, and I’m now back in Australia wishing there was someone like Alicia in Brisbane. She’s absolutely incredible — very, very experienced, and one of the best of the best. Next time I’m in Austin, I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend! Thank you Alicia 🙏😌
One of the Best Massages of My Life – Truly Healing! I’ve suffered from severe back pain since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had thousands of massages, countless medical procedures, injections, daily medications—you name it. Finding real relief has always been a challenge, until now. I recently booked a deep tissue massage through ClassPass, and I can confidently say it was one of the most amazing massages I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. From the moment I arrived, the customer service was warm, professional, and inviting. But what truly sets her apart is her intuitive ability to identify problem areas in your body without you even needing to explain. The pressure was absolutely perfect—firm, but not painful—and she targeted areas I didn’t even realize were contributing to my pain. I left the session feeling lighter, more mobile, and incredibly grateful. She offers a range of services including therapeutic, prenatal, and cupping massage, and I plan to try them all. This is more than just a massage—it’s healing. She’s officially my new go-to for pain relief and self-care. If you’re struggling with chronic pain or just need a truly therapeutic massage, do yourself a favor and book with her. You won’t regret it!
Alicia gave a strong, deep massage and was very attentive to my pain threshold. I had a 90 minute session that flew by and felt so much better afterward. I highly recommend her.
I started going to Levitate Massage after getting a gift card for my birthday and I've been going every month since then. I went to see her after weeks of persistent back pain and it was completely gone after the session! Alicia is amazing! She's able to adapt each session to my concerns whether it be pain or just in need of some relaxing me time.
Alicia is an extremely attentive, intuitive therapist. I love a solid deep tissue massage and she used the perfect amount of pressure and found all the spots that needed the most attention. The space is super cozy in a great location and even had free parking available. I'll definitely be back!
This was my second time seeing Alicia for a massage, and once again, she worked wonders on my body! My calves had been sore for two days after a run, but after a session with Alicia at Levitate Massage, she worked out all the knots in my tight muscles. The very next day, the pain in my calves was completely gone. Now, thanks to her, I’ve been foam rolling my legs and don’t feel nearly as much tightness anymore. Alicia is amazing!
I have been to 5-10 different massage businesses over the years in Austin and Levitate is by far the best. The atmosphere inside is relaxing and quiet (it’s a small place) and the parking is a few steps from the door. I am a former athlete with various trouble spots, and Alicia tailored the massage perfectly. I got the “Hurts so Good” 75 minute massage. Alicia is a very gifted healer and the choice of scented (or unscented) oils—even the music, show that she puts careful thought into every aspect of the massage experience.
I do long distance running and weight lifting and my body is constantly sore. I made an appointment with Alicia for a Hurts So Good 75 minute massage. The place is nice, calming, and comfortable. She sat down with me to discuss which parts of body we should focus on and what hurts or bothers me. I had deep tissue/sports massages at several places but this probably the best one I had. She covered all the areas pretty, it was a good combination of tension release and relaxation. She also did cupping which was great. I felt pretty fresh by the end of it. Definitely recommend!
