Bellaire Massage Therapy

Donna continues to amaze me. She knows so much about the brain body connection and the results that can happen with the right activation movements. I have been told I need a knee replacement and a shoulder replacement. My visits with Donna have brought such relief that I do not feel the need for surgery currently. All the time I can gain is very important as I do not want to have those surgeries. I am very grateful for the work Donna does. I could not recommend this business any more highly. Don't wait! Go and get relief!

Both Donna and Brion are amazing at what they do! They are helping me with a plethora of issues that I've been searching for answers to forever. I'm sleeping better than I ever have before as well as having much less pain. So glad to have found them!

Donna is a miracle worker! She took one look at me and was able to immediately help me with my constant neck and back pain by fixing my breathing patterns. She is extremely knowledgeable about the interconnectedness of the body and is very passionate about what she does. From massage to providing exercises and techniques to help you get better, Bellaire Massage is truly full service.

I suffer from chronic back pain and seeing Donna is the only thing that has kept my pain at bay for the last few months. She always listens to any issue I might be having and changes her approach as needed to target any specific issues. She is so much more than a massage therapist and I am so glad I found her!

I love Bellaire Massage! I've seen Donna for multiple issues and, consistently, she has provided holistic, lasting solutions. Donna is truly a master of her craft; knowledgeable beyond belief, with compassion, professionalism and a sweet disposition to match. Though I've worked primarily with Donna, I have no doubt that I would receive excellent care from any of the therapist. There are businesses that focus on massage and then there is Bellaire Massage.dedicated to total wellness. I highly recommend!

I'll start with. Donna knows cool stuff. You get more than a massage when you meet Donna. Donna's knowledge of how your brain connects to your nervous system then to the muscular system is amazing - mind blowing. With a few unexpected movements, I found immediate relief. She also gave me exercises for me to do at home to retrain my brain and how it activates my muscles. Donna focuses on the overall wellness of her clients. I walked out feeling lighter and centered. and felt like I could conquer the world. :

Donna is an excellent professional. Bellaire Massage is a very comfortable space and the professionals are ready to help you. I had a car accident in 2016 where I was 2 years away from taekwondo, and in my first appointment I could feel a lot of difference in my training. Donna is a professional with a lot of knowledge and experience. I'm sure she will be able to help you with everything you need, just like she is helping me. I guarantee you, you will be surprised by the result.

I came to see Donna years after a car accident. We did the concussion therapy and she treated a facial scar. The scar is almost flat now and less visible. After the concussion therapy I was able to breath deeper and with more ease. Donna has a wide array of therapies and tools available and is great at tailoring them to your needs.

The name "massage therapy" really understates the type of treatment you'll receive and the amount of knowledge and experience Donna brings to the table. This is far more in depth than any typical massage business I've been to. And while you can get some pampering, one comes here to get HEALED. Donna goes beyond the massage to get to the root of what is causing you pain (if you have any).

You'll receive quick 1-2 minute simple, daily exercises to do to avoid whatever issues you have from coming back, which honestly are just as important as the massage (if not more). I've quite frankly been amazed at the type of issues Donna can fix, especially for a "masseuse". I've gone in for a leg pain that was almost constant and daily to now 99.95% GONE.

At the same time, she's learned about my daily routines/habits and gave me exercises that are catered to my lifestyle and things I do to improve (sports/performance), and the most surprising healing I've gotten from Donna, was her ability to DRAMATICALLY improve my allergies at night. I've suffered from night time allergies for over ten years, seen multiple doctors, tried purifiers, sprays, etc. and they never lasted or worked as effectively as what Donna taught me.

I've even had a doctor tell me surgery was my last and only solution to solve my allergies. I was so blown away with what Donna has done for me. I sleep better now than I ever have in so many years. I highly recommend Donna for anyone who's suffering from any sorts of pain that he/she is having--even the lost caused cases. The key for your success and for Donna's effectiveness is your determination and discipline to do the exercises she gives you consistently. Going in for just massages will only help so much.

You must put in the work to help yourself. Donna's exercises/treatments outside of the massages are strangely so simplistic that they seem almost unusual compared to "conventional/traditional" medicine, but after witnessing what she's done for me, I've learned to trust her and she hasn't let me down yet.

Donna is an excellent practitioner. I called her for an online coaching sessing to help me feel less stress and pain. My neck even moves better. She managed to do this even online. I highly recommend you book a coaching call with her. She also has a very peaceful and calming demeanor which put me at ease. I really enjoyed the treatment! Thank you so much. Way more than "just a massage therapist"

Went to Donna who was referred by my co worker. This woman is truly magical at what she does. I am a runner so my form is so important and she knew exactly where my trouble spots were and adjusted them. She taught me helpful breathing techniques and immediately I felt different. She has all the tools and is simply incredible. Felt lighter and looked brighter when I left her office.

OMG! This place Rocks! If you want someone who is dedicated, committed, knowledgeable then please come here for all your Therpy needs! You will be doing cartwheels and elated that you came here! I look forward to my next visit!

I started going to Bellaire Massage Therapy since May 2017 for persistent lower back pain that I just could not get rid of. I walked out of there after the first visit feeling like my body was alive again. Donna worked extensively on my legs (which turned out to be the real culprit), and also used other therapies to loosen the fascia and other connective tissue.

I then started seeing Lyn in order to have some treatment of scars and scar tissue, and I have continued seeing her for quite a few months now for regular massage therapy. She has worked wonders on making my arthritic knees feel much less pain, to where I often walk out of the office without any pain. I can highly recommend both Lyn and Donna for any sort of massage therapy.

Let me start off by saying that I have been to multiple massage therapists and clinicians to receive help for chronic back pain and none of them have compared to Donna and Bellaire Massage Therapy. I knew Donna was the right choice after my first consultation with her. She took the time to actually examine my posture, breathing, and muscle movements.

She understands that chronic pain needs an integrative approach and multiple treatment modalities in order to truly heal and have a chance to improve. From experience, I have found that most clinicians will offer the same Band-Aid options in an attempt to help clients with chronic pain, however, Donna always assess the underlying issues and treats accordingly.

She works with the nervous system by testing the muscles in your body, as well as encourages and teaches Z-health drills to improve the mind-body connection. She is always learning and applying the latest technology and advancements to promote the body to heal itself. Donna's use of medi-cupping and working with my lymphatic and nervous system during my massages has helped me on countless occasions.

Her use of Himalayan salt stones, applying infrared light therapy during massages, as well as utilizing the Dolphin MPS on scars are just a few of the healing treatments I have received, and is just a start to what Bellaire Massage has to offer. Donna has just recently added PEMF therapy to her practice, which has been shown to promote oxygenation to previously damaged cells.

I honestly believe that because of Donna and her skill set, I do not have to take any pain medications. As a Registered Nurse, I cannot tell you how hopeful I am for others who are coping with chronic pain due to my experience with such an amazing and intuitive healer. Donna's goal and motto for her clients is to give them the ability to thrive, which she truly has given me the ability to do. Thank you Donna for everything you have done for me over the past few years, I am forever grateful.

Donna is truly amazing. In two visits with her I have experienced more pain relief than I have known in 2 years. She is so much more than a masseuse. She understands how to incorporate neurophysiology, visual alignment, reflexes, and developmental movements in her practice so that the patient leaves empowered with exercises that will allow them to sustain their improvements. She is truly a gift.

Donna is so much more than a massage therapist, she is a wonderful person and a skilled well-rounded healer! She is a joy to be around during sessions and I've left every session feeling better than I thought was even possible. She gave me hope again with regards to some of my issues which has improved my outlook on life, and gave me the tools to help myself in my downtime at home too.

She's so wonderful that I even had my mom come visit from out of town to be able to go to Donna for multiple sessions and am trying to get my sister down to see her too! The change in my mom that I see after every session is so worth it. If you are on the fence, trust me you should give Donna a try!

I went to Donna for a simple massage and got so much more than I asked for! First -- the massage was fantastic! More than that, as someone with a professional background in sports medicine, I was blown away by her knowledge of the body, as well as the non-traditional therapies she taught me. Simply by investigating my gait, posture, and breathing, Donna was able to tell me about my medical/injury history -- which I hadn't disclosed at all.

She taught me some Z Health techniques using breathing and proprioception, and they seem to have made so much difference Objectively -- the day before I saw Donna, I had a knot in my scapular region that caused me too much discomfort to deadlift 70%. One week later, I just hit a new 10# PR! I'll be back

Donna is incredibly knowledgeable & gifted at her work. Some of the things she says will work sound like it's too easy & it couldn't make that much of a difference and then it always does. She's always blowing my mind! For example, I was about to run my 2nd marathon and hadn't trained nearly enough partially because I kept having stomach sensitivities that would force me into stopping. Donna gave me a frequency disc for right below my neck on my back for relaxing me for the few days before the race.

She also gave me 2 frequency discs for my glutes to keep them activated during the race. I know you're supposed to keep your glutes engaged during running but it's surprisingly harder than it sounds. Come race day, my stomach was behaving & I improved my time! That's even with stopping to use a porta john and walking after getting up a few monstrous hills.

And to top it off, I was only a little sore and that only lasted a partial day which was a huge improvement. I very much believe those frequency discs helped even though in my mind it doesn't make any sense. But hey if something works I'm all for it! Going to see Donna you get more than just a regular massage as she truly cares, provides exercises to help and shares any knowledge she has to help in your situation.

I always leave her office with so much good energy & just feel lighter. My words don't do her enough justice. She's simply amazing! I highly recommend Donna! Trust me, you won't regret it!

Donna has been life-changing for me with regards to an old injury that has inhibited my walking for years. I am able to move in a way that I haven't been able to for a long time and feel like I am getting some of my life back! She is a pleasure to talk to and really knows what she is doing, from breathing for better sleep to retraining my brain and muscles to help me walk normally again. I cannot recommend Donna enough! I am so glad I went to see her and will continue to do so.

I'm simply amazed at how much my pain levels have reduced since Lyn started my therapy. I've had two body damaging falls and Lyn has me on a path to recovery. The first fall has had me suffering for 3 years even after having meds, steroid injections, and other types of massage after my first visit with Lyn I was pain free for days. Both she and Donna are very knowledgeable about holistic healing. I can't recommend Bellaire massage enough. Do yourself a favor and go.

Massage Therapy is an understatement when speaking to Donna. She is single-highhandedly the most skilled soft tissue worker in Houston. I had an inflamed LCL on my left knee and with pain so bad I could barely walk. After a session with Donna, I was full ambulating out of her office. She has extremely deep wisdom and understanding of human mechanics.

Her approach is holistic and unique and she seeks out the true root cause of your issue and addresses it properly. No matter where you live, it is worth coming to Donna and get the proper treatment right off the bat.

I have never been more impressed than I was today. Donna is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. I did not leave with just a massage today, but a holistic education on the current issues of my body and a plan of action that I can implement to resolve them and to maintain my health long term. I have had neck and shoulder tightness for a long time, for which I have used regular massages to keep controlled.

Today was the first time that I have seen Donna, and leaving her office was the first time that I haven't felt that tightness in years. I am a physician and I wish that all of my patients would see Donna. She can help them in ways the medicine I prescribe cannot.

Donna does GREAT WORK. She is extremely knowledgeable about how the different systems of the body (e.g., nervous, muscle, lymphatic) relate and she is passionate about healing and teaching. I booked a deep tissue massage here after a weekend learning about anatomy through my yoga teacher training, and I am so happy I did. If one visit is transformative, I am confident multiple visits are revolutionary. I cannot praise Bellaire Massage Therapy enough, and I plan to go back many times.

Donna is absolutely the most exceptional massage therapist I have ever had. I no longer live in Houston, but every time I come to visit family one of the first things I do is see if she has any availability. She has so much knowledge about misalignment and other muscular-skeletal problems and is constantly refining her technique by attending workshops and seminars.

Her massages are excellent for dancers, athletes, etc. Every time I visit her I not only walk out with my whole body feeling "fixed" but also with a better understanding of what is causing my problems and daily exercises to fix them. If you are looking for a truly transformative experience, go see Donna!

I was searching for a skilled massage therapist to help me with some running pain that I had been experiencing for many months but I was running through it. I had tried a couple Thai massage places and did not find them effective. I was looking for someone who knows muscle anatomy and can determine which muscle is involved. I found Donna after reading some of her reviews and she was exactly the answer I was looking for. Donna goes beyond massage to provide physical therapy to her clients.

She was able to determine where the problem was, which muscles were involved, and then specific techniques to help activate the locked up muscles including using the central nervous system to help stimulate affected areas. She spent extra time assessing the injury, then watching my running technique and helping me to understand why this is going on.

She gave me new stretches and techniques for realigning my foot strike so that I would start to gain back the balance. I was favoring one side for so long due to the pain that I affected more than just the aggravated muscle. Donna was able to get to the heart of it so it could be treated. Then, through massage, she continues to work on the area. She gives a wonderful massage.

If you have specific pain or injuries and need someone who knows the body and how to bring back balance, Donna will help you. If you just want a great massage, you will love her too. She can provide much more than any other massage therapist, anywhere. She will get your body working again and keep it that way.

I've gone to several massage therapists and Donna is the best you will find! She is one of the most educated therapists I know. She knows her craft well, and will help cure your ailments with all the techniques she knows. She takes the time to get to the root of your problem and solve it. If you are having any issues with pain, go see Donna! You won't regret it.

I just had my first appointment, and all I can say is wow. I have had mid back pain for about 10 years, and after only one session I feel like a new person. She is amazing, and very knowledgeable in many modalities. After the first 10 min I felt like I was with an old friend. I am referring donna to all my family and friends. The best advise I could give someone, is to go in with an open mind, and observe what feels different.

Much of the process might not be understood, but the results speak for themselves. I am lucky and blessed to of met donna, and I look forward to having her work on my family and myself in the future. She is truely a gifted person!
