My Story
Welcome to Stoneback Massage Therapy! My name is Samantha Stoneback, founder, Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Cupping Therapist. My mission is to establish an environment where I can provide individuals with optimal relief and relaxation through healing touch. I am a Lauterstein Conway Massage School graduate, who was one of the lucky few to receive instruction directly from David Lauterstein and John Conway, amongst other incredible professors. I am certified and trained to treat a variety of muscular, fascial, and neuromuscular disorders by combining several different modalities and techniques. I believe that my past experience in social work has prepared me to succeed as a massage therapist due to my intrinsic desire to want to help people become the best versions of themselves. I am a current student at Texas Health and Science University, studying for a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. I am very excited to be able to implement these tools into my business soon!
Be your best self.
I have played volleyball and softball for the majority of my life, and with sports come injuries. Overcoming many injuries myself, I am more in tune with what is happening inside the body when it is in pain and not functioning properly. While studying Massage Therapy I was able to learn so much about what actually happened to my body while it was injured; and I have been able to treat year old injuries that I believed were something I was going to spend the rest of my life dealing with. Austin is ranked as one of the healthiest cities and is wellness oriented. I am eager to facilitate the therapies and modalities you need to attain your health and wellness goals. I will aid you in learning how to be in tune with the healing abilities we are all naturally equipped with. While firm pressure is one of my strengths and natural modality, relaxation and comfort is still the ideal goal. I enjoy working with clients to resolve chronic pain, injury recovery, headaches, sciatica, among other issues. As a team, we will discover which form of massage and bodywork will best fit your individual needs for ultimate healing and rehabilitation.
