Some people were a little apprehensive to participate the first time we had the chair massages. However, the second session was full because participants from the first session were raving about it! The feedback for both sessions was very, very positive, and I'm certain we'll request these services from Seize the Day again. Clair was wonderful!

Seize the Day Chair Massages are AMAZING! From start to finish - everyone was so professional and wonderful to work with. Our staff were super impressed by the level of treatment they received in such a short time. Great work!

I have been blessed to have found David at the Barton Springs Car Wash at South Lamar and Barton Springs. David is truly a gifted healer. I can not recommend David more highly - as I walked in with discomfort and walked out feeling 100% better! David is simply a miracle worker!

I woke up with horrible neck tension, and by lunchtime I was struggling to turn my head. These guys were closest to my downtown office, so I booked it over there during my lunch hour. Tom was working today, and in 20 minutes he fixed me right up! I'm so glad I found this little gem, and I will definitely be back.

We had Seize the Day perform chair massages for our accounting professionals and support staff during the spring tax season and everyone loved it. In fact, chair massages had been requested by someone via our "suggestion box". The therapist did an excellent job. I know we will use Seize the Day in the future.

Seize the Day employees and owner are always professional, kind, and amazing at what they do. I have worked with them for about 2 years, and they have always gone above and beyond my expectations when booking their services.

My first chair massage after looking around Austin for a place that takes walk-ins, is conveniently located and is reasonably priced. I regularly get a full body massage but really needed some extra work on my neck and shoulder. Had a great experience here! Professional and really helped me feel better. I'll be back. Wish they had a location on the east side!
