Serene experience at Massage in the Hill Country
J
By Laurel Robertson
oe Peterson’s Massage in the Hill Country studio is – quite literally miles away from the experience you can find at any massage studio in town. Hidden away at his home on six private acres near Nutty Brown Road and RR 1826, Joe’s secluded studio offers a complete experience for all the senses. A typical session begins with a soak in a whirlpool hot tub overlooking lush koi ponds, as clients sip sparkling water or wine while their muscles unwind. A fruit and cheese tray soothes their appetite. Their view is a grassy meadow rolling into the green undergrowth of a nearby creek bed, spanned by a wooden footbridge. Sounds of birds and other wildlife fill the air. When they’re relaxed and ready for a massage, clients can choose a space on a
covered patio overlooking the hot tub and koi ponds, or in a serene massage room indoors. Each massage is a full hour, Joe points out—with no time taken up checking in, changing or filling out paperwork. The low overhead Joe enjoys by having his studio at his house enables him to keep prices affordable—many times less than what one would expect, he says. Couples often choose Massage in the Hill Country as a romantic retreat for special occasions, such as anniversaries and Valentines Day. It’s also popular as a Girls Day Out destination for friends or mother/daughter combos, Joe explains. As wonderful and relaxing as the massages are for his clients, Joe insists that he benefits even more from his practice—in fact, he credits the work with saving his sanity following some life-changSee MASSAGE IN THE HILL COUNTRY, page 2
