Mary Ellen Milks at Prema Bella

I have been having facials with Mary Ellen for 5 or 6 years now, and I have always been very pleased with Mary Ellen’s work and skin-​care advice. Every single time I have a facial, I feel lighter afterwards and I have seen short-​term and long-​term effects on my skin, which is more relaxed and more clear. Thank you Mary Ellen for your continuously reliable services!

Mary Ellen is a really excellent massage therapist. I had signed up for a spa day and had low expectations that I would get a good massage. That was sure wrong. I now see Mary Ellen once a month without fail and would love to go more often. She has a real gift for knowing the body and the energy of the person she’s working on. I have had many massages in my life and I think she’s one of the best there is.

I can not even begin to explain how much I look forward to getting a massage, especially a message from Mary Ellen.
After a stressful week at work or training for a race, Mary Ellen will find and focus on the area that needs to be worked on.
Deep tissue massage is my favorite, although I am wanting to try cupping. I hear that is another one of her specialties!!!
I will report back after I try it!

I have gone to Mary Ellen for facials and massages for 10 years plus. I always feel energized and refreshed by her expertise and spiritual energy. The studio is clean and calming, easy to park, and rates are reasonable. Mary Ellen has a gift for healing: one could do no better!

As an athlete and someone who is constantly training for the next race, I’m always in a state of pain, injury, or just feeling beat up. Mary Ellen has changed these feelings for a while now. I’m so glad I have found her. She was able to get me through marathon season, and now we are starting triathlon season off right. She is able to get right to the areas of pain, diagnose the issues, and address them before I get off the table. She knows her stuff, and you can tell she has tons of experience. I have had cupping with her in addition to sports-​related massages and all have been well warranted. I feel like a new person walking out that door. I will continue to see her once a month to keep my recovery strong and keep myself healthy during my training. Highly recommend going to see her!

Mary has been an extremely perceptive and caring therapist. I’ve had several sessions with her so far and have noticed a large increase in ease and mobility since. I’m an avid golfer and can really notice the changes in my body while swinging the club and it’s fun to play with this new found ability. I highly recommend her to anyone doing things athletic or just looking for some more freedom in movement. Many thank to Mary and look forward to more sessions.

Mary Ellen Milks and I have known each other professionally for a few years now. Her kind spirit and understanding ways gently encouraged my spirit while getting treatments done. She has given me a few fabulous full body massage that felt great on my runners legs; then she followed that with a facial that really renewed my skin and brought out my beauty. One of the things I like most about visiting her is her expertise in color therapy. As you walk in her door you see bottles and bottles of vibrant colors that speak to you and where you are now. Each with its own unique meaning and interpretation. Color therapy is really quite interesting and telling of where you are mentally at that moment, and Mary Ellen has melded the more physical side of massage therapy with the aesthetics of color therapy.
Mary Ellen offers depth, consideration, and talent in the very heart of Austin. I recommend her to my family and friends and to whomever is looking for an excellent massage therapist in cyberspace.

I am a professional violinist. After hours of practicing, having to maintain the same position for hours, enduring rehearsals, and concertizing, I need to decompress! The only effective way I can do this is with cupping therapy from Mary Ellen Milks. With her cupping therapy she decompresses my tissues and opens channels to my circulation, takes pressure off my nerves, opens lymph vessels, helps me breathe better, and replenishes my connective tissue. I leave my session feeling relaxed, energized and ready to start practicing my violin again! I don’t ever want to stop learning more about music and I never want aches and pains to get in the way. Mary Ellen Milks makes that possible! Mary Ellen is absolutely amazing and EVERY musician in Austin should make an appointment!

I have been a client of Mary Ellen’s for several years. Rarely have I met someone of such innate talent and depth. I feel that she has a great deal to offer her clients;
her expertise in the field of skin care and massage therapy, her various techniques, along with her care, compassion and concern for others are admirable.
I’m truly grateful for my time spent with her and the quality of treatment I receive. My health has been enhanced knowing her.

Maryellen is the best. Massage, cupping and hot rocks! She evaluates today’s problem and addresses it specifically with great results.

Probably the worst 60 minutes I’ve ever spent in my life. I would rather have have needles stuck in my eyes than return to this horrible place. Bad technique. Weak hands. Cold personality. Need I say more?

SHE IS WONDERFUL. I met her at my chiropractor and she is phenomenal. I have been to her several times now, and each time she does wonders! She is super sweet, caring, and really cares about the people she interacts with. I plan on continuing to see her. I hope she reads this Unilocal review. YOU DESERVE IT! Thank you Mary Ellen!

Mary Ellen is excellent at giving facials. I have gone to many different practitioners and none as comprehensive and knowledgeable as Mary Ellen. I completely enjoy my session from beginning to end, I also have her do my brows. Her style is very nurturing and part of the facial she rubs your face for awhile with delicate product and it feels divine and much needed. She is good with extractions and has fabulous product she uses, all natural. Really five stars is not enough. I look and feel (my skin) so beautiful after my treatment.
