Meet Misty
Misty Murray is a licensed massage therapist (TX license #MT118135, CA license #39531) with twenty years' experience working in world renowned spas and resorts. She received her vocational degree with high academic honors as a Holistic Health Practitioner from Maric College in Vista, CA. Her career began in beautiful Carlsbad, California, where she worked as a Healing Arts Master and spa trainer for the Chopra Center at La Costa Resort from 2007 to 2013. During her time there, Misty was blessed to attend lectures by great philosophers of our age, including Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon, the cofounders of the Chopra Center, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckert Tolle, and His Holiness the Dali Lama. (She also had several celebrity encounters- feel free to ask!)
After moving back home to Texas, Misty settled in Denton to complete her Bachelor of Science degree at Texas Woman's University, majoring in kinesiology with an emphasis in pre-OT. This experience solidified her determination that all people deserve to be met where they are, with dignity and inclusivity, which she strives to provide in her sessions. For several years, she maintained licensure as a National Association of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer. While she no longer advises clients on exercise prescriptions, she has exceptional knowledge of muscle systems, kinesiology, anatomy and physiology which continues to inform her massage practice.
Since becoming a Denton resident, Misty has worked at Hotel ZaZa's "Za-Spa," The Gaylord Texan's Relache Spa, and Spa Adolphus at the historic Adolphus Hotel in Downtown Dallas. Her experience in these luxury spas manifests in her dedication to ensuring excellent quality of services and products. She is thrilled for this new chapter as a fully independent massage therapist, which allows her to meet people in a relaxed environment, encourage them to take a few unhurried breaths, and to receive the care and compassion they deserve.
My Mission
Why Book with Manifest?
At Manifest Massage, my mission is to empower individuals to take an active role in their own self-care, to release stress and trauma stored in the body, and to integrate their awareness into improved overall health. I am committed to providing personalized massage therapy services that promote mental relaxation, physical rejuvenation, and overall well-being.
I am an independent massage therapist, dedicated to enhancing wellness and promoting personal health. With a focus on compassion and education, I offer a range of massage modalities to support individuals in their journey toward improved health.
My massage practice is centered on understanding the causes that create symptoms of discomfort, utilizing therapeutic techniques to interrupt pain feedback loops, and working with the physiology to promote lasting improvement. I am always delighted to explain to curious clients what I'm doing and why, but am equally happy to work quietly, allowing my guest to relax, as long as the result is relief.
My education and experience are at your disposal. I love massage so much that I got a Bachelor's Degree in how the body moves and works. That knowledge serves you. I have been doing massage since 2007. The average LMT has a career of 3-7 years. This is my vocation: I love what I do, love the complexity of the human body, and love being of service to my clients.
Lastly, I am a solo-practitioner, the smallest of the small business models. I work independently in a charming and whimsical space. You can't get more Denton than that! This gives me the flexibility of tailoring services to my clients without the nickel-and-diming sales schemes of franchises and larger spas. If I think you need something more, and you're amenable, you get it. If you want to try something new, there's no hidden cost.
My practice means the world to me, and I wouldn't have it without my clients. It is an entirely different massage experience to walk in and feel that you are valued and cared for, as yourself. That's the experience I strive to give each of my clients. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to work with you.
