Meet Kelsey.

Kelsey is a 5th generation Texan of Washington County and a licensed massage therapist of almost 11 years. She attended The Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage in Austin, Texas, beginning her professional career in 2014. Her love for the spa environment began while working for a woman-owned day spa near downtown Austin that consistently won in ‘Best of’ categories in the Austin Chronicle. After receiving multiple opportunities to work in luxury charters at sea, her journey led her to Budapest, where she refined a deeper sense of professionalism and her own understanding of true luxurious hospitality at The Ritz-Carlton. She returned back to Texas in 2021, where she began working as a massage therapist and later, the spa trainer for a luxury wellness resort near Austin. She is building her roots back in Brenham and hopes to share her wealth of knowledge, experience and unique offerings with her hometown.

Although her most intuitive style of massage is a natural blend of relaxation and deep, therapeutic work, she uses a range of techniques depending on your individual needs, preferences and intentions for treatment. She loves deepening her understanding of massage, wellness and holistic care. In 2024, Kelsey expanded her knowledge through a 200 hour yoga teacher training. Her hope is to use this knowledge to integrate a better experience for her massage clients, as well as, to offer donation based yoga classes around Washington County. She has the following CE credentials listed below and is continuously learning and applying more to her repertoire.
