Kind words from kind people:

    I had my first Flow facial with Bethany about a month ago and it was exactly what I was looking for and more! I was so impressed with the whole experience that I signed up for a class to learn more from her. Her energy allows for safety and stillness and her hands worked magic on my tired, dull skin. I had a beautiful glow for weeks! Such a lovely experience from start to finish. Thank you!!

    What an amazing experience! Bethany is incredibly talented. Her massage is gentle and detailed, focusing on relaxing every muscle. She has singing bowls tuned to the chakras that she places directly on you and works on different acupressure points to balance energy. It's a full sensory experience and you'll leave feeling lighter and refreshed.

    Bethany is a magical human. This was hands down the BEST facial I have ever received in my entire life. The entire experience from start to finish was beyond words. Her attention to detail and level of care, concern and understanding, far surpasses anything that I have ever received at a spa or otherwise. As I've gotten older I realize my skin in a direct correlation between what is going on in my physical and emotional bodies and her facials address both. I carry stress and trauma in my neck and jaw and after her facial, my skin was glowing and the tension was gone. I am actually moving to Indiana and I am willing to fly into Austin just to see her again. 100/10 would recommend.

    My back is a problem area skin wise, and tension wise. Bethany gently rolled out that tension with her massage, and then helped clear up my back with the back treatment. I feel like a new person. I love Bethany’s very gentle hands!

  • ☯︎☯︎☯︎☯︎☯︎

    The name matches the experience! This was a very transcending experience. I left feeling so much lighter and like I told Bethany, a spring flower. Every touch was very intentional. She customized the massage based off my needs and truly spent her focus on my trouble areas, which I really appreciated. The room is also very beautiful, very mood setting. I can't wait to return!

    She is the best! I was so relaxed and can’t wait to get another massage and facial from her! Hands down the best!

    This was my first experience with a facial treatment. Bethany walked me through all the things that were used and answered any questions that I had prior and after the treatment. I felt relief from my jaw pain that I have dealt with for as long as I can remember and left with skin that was hydrated and glowing.

    Bethany is truly one of a kind and I'm so grateful to have found her! She is an incredibly intuitive listener, starting with the detailed intake forms and continuing all the way through the end of service.

    My experience with Bethany was nothing short of magical. She makes you float away. The massage, the sound healing, the intentionality- she's one of a kind. And my skin feels amazing today!

    Bethany is amazing. She worked on my jaw and neck muscles which was so tight. It makes me so relax that I went home and took a long nap. Which normally I don't take during the day.

    Bethany is an angel! An absolute gem! She creates a comfortable environment that is highly catered to your own needs. I loved the long and thorough intake form that allowed me to customize my experience. When I expressed concerns about something, she immediately discussed them with me and made me feel at ease. I even tried something new that I was hesitant to try! I would refer anyone to see Bethany for their skin care needs!

    Bethany has the most amazing touch! She curates the perfect facial for whatever my skin is needing that day. It's unlike any facial l've ever had! Just stepping into her room takes you to a different place of relaxation. I feel so refreshed after i see her. I trust her completely to take care of me during our time together. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you, friend.

    Absolutely phenomenal!

    Bethany creates an experience beyond a simple facial....sound healing, crystals, lights, the whole space energy was amazing!

    To add on top of this, she knew precisely how to address my current skin concerns & needs. I felt AND looked more relaxed (no more tight clinching jaws) and my skin was stunningly glowing! So happy to have found her (divine guidance ✨)

    I am looking forward to seeing her for many moons & sharing with others this gem of a light!

    I really loved my facial service today by Bethany. I can tell that she loves what she does! I laid there for 90 minutes feeling as though there was a true space for me in her heart as she worked tirelessly to ensure I took this session to its full relaxation potential. I arrived a ball of stress and left as pure jelly. Can't wait to book my next one and become a regular client!

    It's been a while since I had a facial. I'm always on the giving end, and not often take time to be on the receiving! I'm so glad I did today! I will definitely be going back. The hot eye pillow, and poultice by far were my favorite! The entire facial was just amazing! Words don't do it justice!!
