Kelly Thompson knows a thing or two about handling stress. For five years she served as a police/fire/911 dispatch operator, an occupation that demanded Kelly keep a calm, relaxed head while she coached people in crisis through harrowing situations with gentle reassurance and ample empathy. Once Kelly had a taste for bringing calm to stressed-out, overtaxed people, she sought a way to apply her talent elsewhere. Kelly shifted her focus to the hands-on massage field, earned her license, and opened up Kneading Massage Today’s relaxing oasis inside Posh Salons. Her previous experience in throwing people emotional life rafts informs her current practice, as Kelly both receives clients at her spa location and totes her massage chair to offices to ease the collective shoulders of employees and the sore necks of their desktop bobble-heads. As she saturates muscles with Swedish and deep-tissue massages, her clients get a blissful reprieve from muscle tension and mental stress. Treatments include doubly soothing accouterments including hot stones, aromatherapy, and facials.

Amae Tranquility Massage's licensed therapist melds Eastern and Western techniques to help clients heal their bodies and calm their minds. When clients arrive at the studio, they're led to a private treatment room that's softly lit and painted in calming purple hues. Once inside, they settle onto a massage table draped in linens from Comphy Co., the same brand used by the Ritz Carlton and the Spa at the Four Seasons. Though clients are welcome to just sit back, relax, and reflect on life or the time they spent in timeout that day, they can also choose to supercharge the massage session with add-ons such as body scrubs and wraps.

Bodies who enter Soothe Therapeutic Massage find themselves in the capable hands of licensed therapist Kiri Dyken, who has made it her life's mission to help relieve pain brought on by injury and everyday stress. Her extensive education led her from East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon, all the way to Thailand, where she learned the art of Thai yoga massage directly from its masters. Today, she continues to practice Thai massage alongside her other specialties, including goal-oriented deep-tissue work and traditional Swedish massage, complementing each service with soft music that quietly lulls stress into a false sense of security.

Maquillage Pro Beauty specializes in organic and heated airbrush tanning, helping bodies go from pallid to sun-kissed without exposure to harmful UV rays. Carefully trained technicians evenly tan hides from head to toe at locations in The Woodlands, Austin, or The Heights, or travel to their clients to help them get beach-bound in the privacy of their own home sandbox. The hue-shifting experts can also draw added attention to bronzed contours with optional add-on treatments such as glow-enhancing glitter drops or scent drops—a more practical alternative to last season's popular scratch-and-sniff body suits.
