I'm Vanessa, a licensed massage therapist and the founder of VARA Wellness. Born and raised in Austin, I've always had a passion for movement, recovery and self-care. I attended massage therapy school at A New Beginning in Austin from 2019 to 2020. This is where I honed in my skills for stretching, therapeutic techniques, cupping and hot stone therapy.

 I took the opportunity to intern in a chiropractic office in the last quarter of school, and learned a lot about recovery and massage techniques to help certian pathologies and injuries.

 Over The years I have also continued to refine my skill set with continuing education and masterclasses in both therapeutic and relaxation techniques.

 At VARA Wellness, I've created a space where self-care is more than a luxury, i's an essential part of feeling your best. Whether you need relief from chronic pain, recovery from an active lifestyle, or just time to recharge, I'm here to provide a customized approach to your wellness journey.

 When I'm not working with guests, you'll find me hiking, working out in the gym, or spending quality time with my husband Orlando, and our two cats, Daxter and Biggie.
