Massage in The Woodlands

A & W Massage Therapy’s experienced therapists envision a world in which massage therapy is thought of not as a luxury but as an affordable, necessary aspect of daily stress maintenance. To that end, the team works to facilitate aesthetic and emotional harmony with customized spa services that include not only massages but body scrubs, wraps, and exfoliating facials as well. Their flagship massages dissipate everyday stressors and toxins with modalities that range from Swedish and deep tissue to specialized techniques such as pregnancy and hot stone. Sugar body scrubs play the role of dessert to each massage’s relaxing main course, imbuing skin with sweet or spicy flavors such as mocha and brown sugar. Signature facials similarly draw on inspiration from the culinary world, flushing away dirt with extracts from chocolate and cinnamon before concluding with an exfoliating whipped-cream pie in the kisser.

Licensed massage therapist and owner Chemeka Davis liberates clients from constricted muscles, nagging pain, and chronic illness through massage and bodywork services. In addition to the skills signified by her degree in massage therapy from The Academy of Health Care Professions, Chemeka augments her work with experience gained during stints as a certified EMT, home health-care professional, and world hopscotch champion. She also gives back to the community through LITT—a nonprofit organization she founded to help minorities combat the harmful effects of stress through holistic treatments.

Licensed massage therapist Michelle Steiner consults with her clients before beginning each one-hour massage. This allows her to customize each session to the recipient's therapeutic needs, which may require light-to-moderate contact or deep pressure. Depending on the client, the session takes place on a massage bed or on the ceiling and may include a blend of Swedish techniques, deep-tissue kneads, and facilitated stretches. Michelle takes a more intensive approach during her 90-minute massages to help those who partake in athletic activities, are highly stressed, or have more than one problem area that needs to be treated.

Six days a week, the licensed massage therapists at Classic Touch Massage carefully consider each client's unique physical and emotional needs. They draw upon numerous massage modalities, including pregnancy massage that eases discomfort in expectant mothers, therapeutic massage to address chronic pain in wearers of wrought-iron hats, and reiki sessions designed to balance the body's flow of energy.

The tranquil, spa-like setting encourages relaxation with an abundance of green plants and colorful artwork. Inside the couples massage room, friends or mates recline on side-by-side treatment beds that are occasionally strewn with rose petals to mimic the romantic feel of naptime at the local home-and-garden center.
