Praises By Our Patients
The environment here is clean and gorgeous.i love the pink aesthetic. I returned for a make-up massage and I added a facial because of the promotion they have right now. The facial was amazing. My face glowed at the end and it felt healthy and hydrated. I had Catherine for my massage and she was excellent. She was very relatable and knew exactly what I needed. I would definitely return and I plan on informing my friends.
I visited Carolina Pintos Therapy for lymphatic drainage massage after a cosmetic procedure, and the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in, the space felt calming and very clean, which immediately put me at ease.
Dane was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain how the lymphatic system works and how the massage would help reduce swelling and promote healing.
I highly recommend Dane if you’re looking for someone who truly understands lymphatic therapy and cares about your recovery and well-being.

I have had 2 lymphatic drainage body massages at Carolina Pintos with Katherine and cannot say enough great things about this business or about Katherine! I have learned so much from her about my body's lymph system and have felt the benefits of lymph drainage massage. Katherine listens to me, answers all of my many questions, teaches me techniques to do at home and is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. The difference in my body is really amazing but more so in how I feel afterwards-lighter, less bloated and more energy. I have sent my husband to her and he, too, is blown away. I am a client for life and will continue to prioritize the benefits of lymph massage in my wellness care.
Carolyn Pintos Therapy is an amazing place in every way! Beautiful spa and exceptionally clean! I feel like I am at a first class spa every time I walk in the door!
Everyone is so caring, friendly, personable and professional all the way from the front desk to each of the therapists.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! It deserves five stars plus and I would highly recommend to anyone considering therapy! I always look forward to my visits! Thank you to everyone at Caroline Pintos Therapy for an amazing experience every time I come!! It is just perfect!

I have been coming here since March, I drive alll the way from spring tx. I can't recommend Mrs. Patty enough! Her lymphatic massage sessions have been absolutely transformative for me. From the very first appointment, I felt genuinely cared for—she brings such presence, knowledge, and compassion to her work. Her touch is intuitive and deeply therapeutic, and I always leave feeling lighter, more relaxed, and more connected to my body.
Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also creates a safe and calming space where healing feels natural. She takes the time to listen and tailor each session to what my body needs, which makes such a difference.
If you're considering lymphatic massage for recovery, wellness, or just to feel better in your own skin—go see her. She’s truly a gem in this field.

I began coming to Carolina Pintos Therapy about 5 weeks after my chin and jawline liposuction and I’ve been very happy with my results! I was experiencing lots of firmness and scar tissue that I struggled to manage on my own. Dane has been a great resource! Not only does she do great work during my sessions, she gives me advice on how to improve my massages between appointments. I can tell Dane really wants the best results for me. I’m very happy with the progress made in just a few appointments and will continue to see Dane while I’m healing.
I LOVE this place. I went for a lymphatic drainage body massage about a month ago and absolutely loved it. I heard great things about the massage and how beneficial it was for you. Let me tell you, after the massage I slept better, I felt lighter, it was great. I felt so great I booked another body massage as well as the lymphatic drainage face massage back to back. It was so worth it! The facility is very nice, the staff is great. The therapist who worked on me did an excellent job focusing on the areas that were the most clogged/stressed. If you've been considering getting a lymphatic drainage massage, please do yourself a favor and book one today! This place is great and trust me you'll feel great afterwards!
I tried several therapist out at other businesses before I came here. The first time here I got Rebecca as my therapist and I was about to be a month out of mommy make over and I could immediately tell this style lymphatic massage was above and beyond and others I experienced! Rebecca has 18 years experience and she also told me some other therapist there have 20 + years. There are top of the line devices used. Rebecca is nice to talk to as well but she always focuses on the job at hand! Carolina hires only the best! Also, I had an infection come up after 30 days and I was very concerned about it. Carolina, the owner, would come in and check on me. She also would contact me to get updates on my infection. She even came on her off day to check on me in person! This really boosted my morale and this confirmed I was in the right place for my healing journey after a major surgery. Also, even with no infection Carolina checks on me to this day to see my progress. I am extremely happy I found Carolina Pintos Therapy and Rebecca!
Highly recommend Carolina Pintos Therapy! Do not go anywhere else! Even if it’s a drive, like it is for me, it’s completely worth it. Their therapists are amazing. I specifically recommend Patty and Patricia for lymphatic massages and scar tissue massages and Eunice for facials. Patricia, Patty, and every single therapist I have worked with here are extremely knowledgeable and have guided me through the post-op care process with exceptional care. They take time to educate me during every single session on what I can do to see the best results for my body including recommendations around nutrition and products that will enhance recovery. They also update me on improvements and their current area of focus. I love my doctor but this practice has definitely been a game changer in my healing. If you have surgery, do not skip out on the massages! They are worth it on their own but are invaluable thanks to Carolina and her staff.
