My Story
Welcome to Stoneback Massage Therapy! My name is Samantha Stoneback, founder, Licensed Acupuncturist, 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 2021 graduate from Lauterstein Conway Massage School; whom was one of the lucky few to receive instruction directly from David Lauterstein and John Conway, amongst other incredible professors. I very quickly became hooked on how the body works and needed to learn more! A few months after massage school I enrolled at Texas Health and Science University to obtain my Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine. After 5 years, I have finally earned my license and am beyond excited to implement the magic of Chinese Medicine into my practice. I specialize in chronic pain relief and injury rehabilitation, combining several different modalities and techniques that I am trained and certified in. I believe that my past experience in social work has prepared me to succeed as a healer due to my intrinsic desire to want to help people become the best versions of themselves. In January of 2026, I will be starting my Doctorate, to dive in even deeper to the vastness of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
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.
