Temple, TX Spa and Massage

Lady Bird Johnson, Rosalynn Carter, Henry Kissinger, and Walter Cronkite are just a few of the many distinguished individuals who've come in contact with massage therapist Inge-Lise Weber's experienced and well-traveled hands. After completing her massage training in her home country of Denmark, Inge-Lise moved south to Spain, where she used her skills and fluency in six languages to run a massage business with clients from across the world. She moved once again in 1976, but this time across the Atlantic to Austin, Texas. Since settling in the United States, Inge-Lise has spent two decades as Lady Bird Johnson's family's massage therapist, worked on various other prominent Americans, and added an assortment of energy-focused techniques to her repertoire. Today, clients of all levels of fame visit Inge-Lise for custom massages as well as clinical aromatherapy, Japanese reiki, and raindrop therapy, which combines essential oils and electrical frequency to help bodies achieve balance and minds heal from unrequited love for the weatherman.

Throughout Marsha Power's 35-year journey through the world of aesthetics, she has tallied countless certifications, graduated from Vidal Sassoon Hairstyling Academy, worked with Jay Sebring and Paul Mitchell, and opened the doors to Garbo A Salon & Spa. There, surrounded by bottles of Aveda product, she and her talented staff pamper visitors by rendering many salon and spa services. They try to treat each guest like family, meaning they might text message you incessantly while you take your SATs.

Their menu includes massages, facials, nailcare treatments, and haircuts. Along with using naturally occurring ingredients from Aveda's products, the staff strives to make their stomping grounds a green salon by reusing hand towels and installing energy-efficient lights. They also built the floors out of recycled materials and tinted their walls with EVO-certified paint.

Before the therapists apply any bodywork, Myo Fit Massage's studio begins unburdening clients of stress through a relaxing design of stone accents, warm greens, and chocolaty browns. As guests sink into the massage table, therapists draw upon multiple modalities—including deep-tissue, sports, and trigger-point massage—to encourage overall relaxation, correct postural dysfunctions or relieve tension embedded in both the superficial and deep-muscle layers. They may also accentuate their work by leading clients through active and passive stretching. In addition to easing aches, massage benefits may range from lessened anxiety to improved quality of sleep. Beyond bodywork, Myo Fit's team also offers far-infrared-sauna sessions with Chi-Machine therapy to help visitors expunge toxins such as lactic acid and Legos eaten during childhood.

A supporter of the timeless cliché, “if you look good, you feel good,” Megan Deterling believes that healthy skin is correlated to a healthy mind and body. After graduating from the Institute of Cosmetology and Esthetics in 2008, she has been freeing clients from the tyranny of wrinkles, blemishes, and unwanted hair. Megan exclusively uses and distributes Image Skincare products, which feature color-coding that signifies each container’s intended use or can be used to direct traffic.

Though she began her career as a financial-aid adviser for the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Waiyan Wong soon gravitated to a more hands-on approach to therapeutic healing. After studying the arts of massage and acupuncture, she further honed her newfound talents in clinics and chiropractic offices before opening her own practice.

At Acu-Tissue Body Care, Wong incorporates a range of calming and therapeutic modalities into her massages. These various techniques work to promote holistic well-being by stimulating healthy blood flow, soothing tense muscles, and leaving tendons as loose as a Supreme Court justice’s robes on Casual Friday. Alternatively, acupuncture and reflexology sessions work to balance the body’s energy channels with thin needles or gentle, targeted pressures.

The staff at Evo Aesthetic Center and Wellness Spa strives to create holistic balance through relaxing and confidence-boosting cosmetic services. Composed of a physician, a registered nurse, and a crew of aestheticians, the team embraces a broad range of services and specialties. They also work to keep clients informed by collaborating with them to select a treatment regimen and a voice actor to narrate its steps in a reassuring baritone.

Their services range from familiar spa treatments—including facials with vitamin- and antioxidant-rich products—to advanced, medically inspired procedures. These can utilize Fraxel laser systems, microdermabrasion technology, or chemical peels with fruit acids to create younger-looking skin or conceal the appearance of minor scarring.
