Stephanie Anguiano
Stephanie has worked many jobs as an artist. She worked for several years drawing portraits at Six Flags, Sea World, and the rodeo. She began her career as a tattoo artist at 18 doing body tattoos, and became interested in permanent make-up when she let a friend tattoo her lips with disastrous results. After that, Stephanie vowed she would never put any of her clients through the misery she experienced. Stephanie later earned her license from the most reputable instructor in Austin, Jaleh. Today, Stephanie dedicates herself to providing the most natural looking permanent makeup.
Jim Hymes
Having spent many years studying and exploring the human body and its energy systems via traditions as varied as Swedish and deep tissue massage, Feldenkrais, Cranio-sacral therapy, Reiki and shamanic healing techniques. Jim specializes in establishing a specific and on going relationship with every client. He works with the intent of moving beyond the conventional understanding of wellness. As a body worker he recognizes that there are those who see a massage therapist purely for the simple benefits of relaxation and stress reduction, and there are those who have a desire to take a step beyond the norm and use their body work as part of an overall approach to health and wellness. With a background in both traditional massage techniques and energy-based modalities he is equally adept at providing a deeply therapeutic or relaxing massage as well as holding space for a more profound session that deals with resolving life long patterns of holding.
