Dragonfly Wellness Center

Well i have a pinched nerve in my shoulder making sitting at work pretty unbearable. Dragonfly is close by so I made an appointment during my lunch break to attempt to get some relief. The road in front is completely torn up so it took an extra 10 mins to try to figure out how to get to the place and then I arrived and NO ONE WAS THERE. I knocked, I waited as long as my appointment was supposed to be for and then I drove back to work both missing my lunch break and still in a lot of pain. Thanks for nothing.

I just can’t tell you how much my treatment from Lynne made a difference today! I was in such pain, I could barely walk. After an hour, I felt so much relief, and I still feel great hours later. She even taught me a stretch to help keep myself aligned.

Not happy. I requested more massage not stretching because that’s what she said she was going to do was realigned me because I was off kilter. Explained to her not once not twice but three times I just had sore muscles and that’s all I was really interested in was getting massaged that did not happen not to mention it wasn’t even an hour and a half the session started at 11:55 and ended at 1:15 glad I didn’t pay full price for this it was a groupon but please listen to your customers for future references is even if you want to do something because you think it’s in their best interest please listen to them and accommodate what they’re asking for. I see a chiropractor for alignment and I’d like him to deal with that not my massage therapist I understand that she was trying to help me but what I really wanted was get a massage and that is not what happened today. Very disappointed.

I can’t believe I’ve neglected to write about Lynne all this time. Simply put, she’s fantastic!
Don’t expect your typical massage. Lynne is different in the best possible way. She understands how bodies are put together, how they move, and all of the interdependencies of muscles. You point to a spot that hurts or moves funny (or whatever) and she immediately knows exactly which muscles cause that to happen. Fixing it involves her moving your body into specific positions and very lightly coaxing the muscles to relax.
I need to impress on you the fact that Lynne uses incredibly light pressure to undeniable results. For example, I have scoliosis. When I leave Lynne’s after she works on my back I’m ¾″ taller and the lumps I normally have to the side of my spine are practically flat. Of course, this gets undone to a degree with my regular movements that tighten up the muscles in weird ways again, but each time she works on it, it improves.
Recently, I was in a car accident, and I wouldn’t go to anyone other than Lynne. She’s better, faster, and more reliable than any doctor because she fixes the root of the problem; she doesn’t just give you pain pills and tell you you’re stuck with whatever’s wrong. She FIXES it, for real.
Book the longest appointment time you can because she can do the most good at one time. She’s generous with her time and is excellent at prioritizing your concerns. If you say your neck hurts and she starts with your feet, I promise there’s a reason. She knows that the way everything else sits and moves affects your neck muscles and she’s fixing it in the most logical and efficient way possible.
I highly recommend buying packages of massages simply because they’re a superb deal. You won’t find ANYONE who does a better job and is so reasonably priced. A bonus is that you can book online and the system works really well.
I am a very loyal customer and will be until one of us moves. Seriously – I don’t bother with other massages anymore.

Lynne is an excellent massage therapist who provides great results. I feel very energized and relieved from my back pain after seeing her. I am so happy to have found Lynne. I tell all my friends about how great her massages are. She is very professional, clean, and nice :)

Highly recommend trying this place! I have searched high and low for the perfect massage therapist. Well, my search has ended!
Thank you for my much needed pain relief!

Best massage I have ever had! I got hurt at work and was going to the chiropractor every week. I was in so much pain and I received more that your usual massage. The technique and skill of the massage therapist was beyond belief! I received my massage over 2 years ago and I still rave about my massage. I now live in Fort Worth or I would be a regular customer. Thank you for everything Dragonfly Wellness Center!

They truly care, you can tell they’re not only passionate but aren’t out to just put money in their pockets.

I’ve been seeing Lynn for my «massage» sessions. However, Lynn does much more than just give you a massage, unless that’s all you want. She’ll do the usual interview, get to know what you do for a living, and, as is my situation, start to work on the areas of the body that you never thought needed addressing, but, as the old song goes, are all «connected». Eventually, she reaches the problem area (my left shoulder), and almost like magic, the pain/​discomfort are gone or seriously reduced. She told me once that someone referred to it as «voodoo»! lol…
I highly recommend you see Lynn for any body work. You will NOT be disappointed!

First came here after taking a fall on a bike and couldn’t stand straight the next day (it was not a graceful fall).
After a couple of acupuncture treatments with Kit, my pain subsided and I was able to stand up straight. All a medical doctor gave me for the problem was pain medication. Very pleased that I gave dragonfly wellness center a try and have been coming ever since for acupuncture to deal with neck and shoulder pain I get from working on a laptop for too long.

I needed to get a massage while I was in Austin and I found Dragonfly through Google. The first surprise was that unlike a massage where you just flop down — Lynne analyzed my body and pointed out a number of issues — for example how working incorrectly on the computer was showing up in my body and what the fix was. The worked on my body in a different way than my deep tissue masseuse would — whatever she did — some of the chronic issues have gone away today! She also was very educational about weight training and Yoga.

The owner Lynne did contact me in October informing me that Otter was no longer with Dragonfly Wellness and that she had mislead Lynne into believing that various clients had been given the services they paid for. She also offered me a complimentary half hour massage or reflexology or massage to make good. While I appreciated the gesture I haven’t found the time to return.

Kit is an excellent acupuncturist. She is experienced, thorough, knowledgeable, attentive, careful, and thoughtful. I initially scheduled an appointment with her because I purchased a coupon deal (can’t even remember which coupon company now – it was so long ago), but I continue to schedule more appointments with her because she does such a great job.
She was my first acupuncturist so I did not realize how good she was until I saw another very popular acupunturist in downtown Austin. I had a really terrible experience with the other practitioner (she left multiple welts and bruises on my body). I only go to Kit now because she is gentle and, more importantly, effective. I also go to her for cupping and massage sessions when I need postural corrections.
I highly recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, or herbal medicine advice. I have learned a lot from Kit and trust her to improve my health and well-​being.

After going to to the center and experiencing it myself I was very surprised with the reviews I read. If I read them before, I probably wouldn’t have gone. But my experience was wonderful. I got a 60 min traditional Swedish massage and I was easily able to book it online. The staff was very nice and the therapist made sure I was relaxed and comfortable. The location is a little out of the way and the prices are a little more than I would usually spend on a massage, but if you have any health issues, it’s worth going to them. They really understand the body and what to do to make it feel better.

If you want a traditional massage, go elsewhere!
Pretty much everything Andrea said is exactly how my experience went. I had a Groupon – booking an appointment took MONTHS and I could never actually speak to a person. Emails to the center generated a stock response email saying that the Groupon was really for acupuncture, the massage was just a secondary option. Ok — except the Groupon advertised it as a «90 minute massage or acupuncture session.»
Overall the experience was less than satisfactory. Lynn talked the entire time, gave anatomy lessons – complete with textbook and pictures – to show me how I was ‘unbalanced’ (add your own joke here). I’ve tried to read up on this Critz technique she uses, but haven’t really found anything that tells me exactly how it’s beneficial. Mostly it was just her holding a pressure point and I was supposed to feel something release. Didn’t happen.
I bought the same Groupon for a friend, and he had the same issues. Hard time getting an appointment, not able to speak to a person on the phone, did not get a massage, but rather this ‘balancing’ session.
Most definitely, neither of us will be going back here!

I used a sort of customer appreciation certificate and was able to make an appointment online quite easily. At first the location was a little difficult to find, but when I arrived I was greeted politely and taken back promptly.
My appointment was with Otter and I only needed 30 minutes on my back and shoulders since I strained the muscles during a new exercise routine. Otter asked a few questions to get a better idea of the problem I was having and as soon as my session began I felt relaxed.
Otter did a fantastic job relieving the pain in my shoulders and she even took the time to show me some stretches to help prevent any tension during future exercises. For the first time in days I can raise my arms straight up above my head, such a relief!
I will definitely be going back to the Dragonfly Wellness Center and I’m even interested in trying acupuncture! I definitely recommend this place!

Kit has treated me on a number of occasions and I find her depth of knowledge impressive and her ability to gauge and assess clients needs — professional and generous. She has a great sense of humor and relaxed manner that puts one at ease. She takes her clients health and wellness very seriously and is authoritative on matters related to acupuncture and herbalism.

I found them to be very accommodating of my schedule, as I was in from out of town and someone recommended I go there.
There are at least two different things going on here, one is massage, and the other is acupuncture, one is with Lynne, and the other is with Kit. And they both have different personalities which I think could make a nice complementary experience depending on one’s own preferences.
All of my services were provided by Lynne, however Kit was really helpful in getting me scheduled. Someone mention that she talks a lot, which is true, however for me, I found it to be educational in terms of learning how to use my body better, to help my poster, to know what muscles interact with other muscles and how. I found it helpful to raise my level of conscious awareness of what I’m doing with my body. So I think what may be too much is subjective, and Lynne also seems receptive to asking for what you want, if you are more of the quiet contemplative type, just let her know upfront.
It was not like any other massage I have had however, as I’m typically the type that likes ‘deep pressure’ and a little pain to go with my relaxation. That is not Lynne’s style, however what she did do was very gentle, but provided a lot of relaxation, better posture and easier breathing. She was very systematic in what she did, and even when I did not tell her about certain things that also bugged me, she could feel the muscle differences (or something she might describe it differently) and get them to relax.
If I lived in Austin, I’d go here more often, so that I could re-​teach my body how to move and stand. As Lynne pointed out, the human body is exceptional at continuing to function in the midst of dysfunction. I felt great for a few days after, and then, I think as is normal a lot of my physical habits of movement start creeping back in. It’s taken me a lifetime to get some of the movement habits I have, it isn’t going to be undone forever in 1 or 2 sessions.
I’d definitely go back the next time I’m in Austin, the prices are reasonable, the service is good, and they are responsive to my needs.

Don’t get a massage here if you want to relax. The masseuse/​owner never stopped yapping… the entire hour long! Her technique was seemingly efficacious, one that i have never seen before. She was very knowledgeable of the body (speaking much of her years of experience) and while on the table it felt pretty good! However, during the next few days all the joints she worked on were constantly popping and it felt pretty awful. At 80 bucks/​hr it’s not worth it, in my opinion. Also, she was moderately derisive when the topic of Swedish massage came up. That’s fine if it’s not her thing but I’m sure that would make other customers feel reluctant to voice their preference.
Speaking of the 80 dollar massage… I found out that a friend of mine whom i had referred to her (her skill seemed promising when I received a 5 min massage at Independence Brewery 1^st Saturday.) was being charged 60 dollars, not 80. I understand that 60 is the pre-​paid rate but he definitely did not prepay! Naturally this bothered me. I won’t go back. I know people that really enjoy her work. I myself won’t be returning.

Don’t make an appointment here if you want a «spa day» or an hour of swedish massage and fragrant oils. Go here to GET WELL!
Where everyday massage therapy leaves off, Dragonfly is just getting started. 2 days after my first session with Lynne and I still feel amazing! Learn how your muscles (large and small) are affecting your posture, flexibility and physical ability while Lynne employs her technique to align and balance all of the muscles in your body. Even if you’re totally out of whack (like I was) she can make huge improvements with you in just an hour. For me it was pain in my shoulder, flat feet, leg aches from running and limited range of motion in my left arm from an old skateboarding injury — all greatly improved by Lynne in just an hour and with none of the discomfort of chiropractors or deep tissue massage.
Tip: prepaid sessions are $ 60/​hr instead of $ 80 (reg. price). Well worth it! Especially since you come out feeling terrific. I went for a 5 miler right after I left Dragonfly and felt great!
