Bee Cave’s Best Massage & Acupuncture Studios (2026)

Sixteen providers work Bee Cave’s Galleria corridor, and the word “acupuncture” is doing three legally different jobs among them. This guide sorts the licenses first, then ranks the studios.

02 — The Bee Cave Market

Sixteen businesses, one word, three different licenses

Bee Cave is a compact, affluent Travis County suburb — just under 9,000 residents by the figure most commonly cited, which traces to real-estate-industry citations of Census data rather than to Census.gov directly — and it supports sixteen businesses offering massage or acupuncture inside the 78738 ZIP code. That is a dense bench for the population, and it exists because the Hill Country Galleria pulls the whole town through one retail complex: 100-plus shops and restaurants anchored by Dillard’s, Whole Foods, Dick’s, Barnes & Noble and a Cinemark. Both of the town’s highest-volume massage venues, Hand & Stone and milk + honey, sit in or beside it.

Demand here has a recognizable shape. The Highway 71 and RM 620 corridors feed the Austin tech economy, so desk-posture and neck work is steady; Falconhead Golf Course and the Spanish Oaks community keep golf strain in the mix, to the point that one local chiropractic office lists golf fitness among its specialties; Lake Travis puts water-sports recovery into the warm months; and Lake Travis ISD’s young-family population drives the prenatal bookings. Bee Cave was also designated an International Dark-Sky Community in 2023 — a genuinely unusual thing for a suburb this close to a major metro, and a fair description of how residential the place still feels behind the retail.

The credential picture is where this market gets interesting, and it is the reason for this page. Six in-town businesses offer something sold as acupuncture. Five of those are L.Ac.-model practices: Bee Cave Acupuncture, Highland Lakes Acupuncture, All Is Well Austin, and the acupuncturists working inside Serasana and Alive and Well. The sixth, Bee Cave Chiropractic & Acupuncture, offers acupuncture administered by Dr. Jon Swanson, DC, under a chiropractor’s acupuncture certification — lawful, and a different credential from an L.Ac. licensed through the Texas Medical Board. Outside that six entirely, Dynamic Sports Medicine opened in May 2026 marketing dry needling and cupping therapy within sports-chiropractic scope; it does not describe itself as an acupuncture practice, and it is not counted as one here. Three legal scopes, three sets of training hours, one word doing all the work in search results.

Three of the sixteen offer both massage and acupuncture: Serasana, Alive and Well, and Bee Cave Acupuncture. In all three the two modalities come from different staff members on a roster, and across every source we checked we found no Bee Cave practitioner holding both an acupuncture license and a massage license personally. That is an absence-of-evidence finding rather than a certainty, and it is the one axis on which a 40-minute drive west is worth doing the arithmetic on.

That last finding also carries a date on it, and we would rather print the date than let the sentence quietly go stale. Lakeway Spine Center, about ten to twelve minutes north-east, employs an acupuncturist who is also a licensed massage therapist — Dr. Vanessa Huffman, DACM, L.Ac., LMT — and that practice is moving. Its domain now redirects to Hill Country Spine Center, whose only published address is 12117 Bee Caves Rd in Bee Cave, under a banner reading “Dr. Andrea Is Moving to Hill Country Spine Center! Starting August 10.” The Bee Cave page lists chiropractic and spinal decompression only, and names neither the acupuncturist nor the massage therapist, so whether either of them practises at the new Bee Cave address is unresolved in public sources. Everything on this page about dual licensure is therefore true as of 2 August 2026: if you are reading it later and one practitioner doing both is what you want, phone Hill Country Spine Center first and ask who is on staff.

Price transparency splits the market almost exactly in half, and not along the lines you would guess. Serasana publishes a full rate card for both modalities ($129 for 50 minutes, $189 for 80, with member rates of $105 and $145), and Hand & Stone publishes every massage price at both member and non-member tiers ($79.95 and $129.95 for a Classic). Nine of the sixteen publish nothing at all — including every acupuncture-only clinic in town. The cheapest figures we found belong to an independent on Bee Caves Rd at $70 for 60 minutes, though those came from a third-party booking aggregator rather than the studio itself.

Two last things a search engine will not tell you. The Massage Envy at 12921 Shops Pkwy is permanently closed and its unit is now Dynamic Sports Medicine, while the chain’s own locator page for the address stayed live; Massage Harmony on Bee Cave Rd closed all four Austin-area locations in November 2018 and still surfaces here eight years later — and it is a different business entirely from Harmony Women’s Wellness on Bee Cave Pkwy, which is open. And a domain named for Bee Cave, beecaveacupuncture.net, routes to Achieve Integrative Health, whose published office is at 715 Discovery Blvd in Cedar Park, roughly 25 minutes away; the practice itself is an ordinary operating Cedar Park business, but it is not a Bee Cave location and is not ranked here as one.

03 — Our Method

How we built this list

Which license is behind the needling
Texas licenses three different things that get sold under similar words in this town: acupuncture by a Licensed Acupuncturist, credentialed through the Texas Medical Board’s Acupuncture Board; acupuncture performed by a chiropractor holding a chiropractic acupuncture certification; and dry needling inside chiropractic or physical-therapy scope. All three are lawful and none is a substitute for another. We recorded which one each business publishes for the person doing the work. We did not run individual license lookups — we report what each practice states about itself.
Does the address match the marketing?
We checked every business’s published street address against the name and domain it markets under. One domain named for Bee Cave routes to Achieve Integrative Health, whose published office is at 715 Discovery Blvd in Cedar Park, roughly 25 minutes away; it is treated here as a Cedar Park-market business and is not ranked as a Bee Cave one. Separately, several genuine Bee Cave addresses on the Bee Caves Rd and RR 620 stretch are filed under an Austin postal city by directories — that is a USPS quirk, not a location claim, and it did not count against anyone.
Open as of August 2026
Two closed businesses still rank in local results for Bee Cave massage, and one of them still has a live corporate locator page for the address. Every ranked entry was checked against the business’s own live page or a source dated 2026. Closed businesses appear on this page as context and never as a recommendation.
Can you find out who will treat you?
Named practitioners with stated credentials rank above unnamed staff categories. A studio that lists “Acupuncturists” without names is not doing anything wrong — it does mean a credential-conscious reader cannot check anything before booking, which on this page is a ranking factor rather than a footnote.
Published prices, and what they include
Nine of the sixteen businesses we found publish no pricing we could locate online. Where prices do exist we quote them with the session length attached, and we say whether the figure is a member or non-member rate — in this market those two numbers can differ by 50 to 60 percent for the same service, which makes an unlabeled price close to meaningless.
When you can actually be seen
Bee Cave hours run from a franchise taking bookings from 8:45am to 9:15pm, seven days a week, through a three-day clinic week, to one practice that books only between 4pm and 7pm. For most readers this settles more bookings than anything above it, so it is weighed alongside credentials rather than after them.

We started from the sixteen businesses with a Bee Cave (78738) address that offer massage or acupuncture as a core or meaningful service, then ranked ten of them. The three businesses selling both modalities lead, because that is what most readers searching this phrase are looking for and all three publish enough to be checked. Positions four and five go to the two massage-led venues with the fullest public record — published price lists, published hours, and more than 250 reviews between them. The two credentialed acupuncture-only practices sit at six and eight: their individual credentials are the clearest on the page, and what holds them mid-list is what they do not publish plus the fact that neither offers massage. The final two entries are placed on how narrow the offering is or how thin the public record, never on quality. Honest limits worth stating: every Yelp page we tried returned an HTTP 403 to direct fetch, so all Yelp figures here reached us through search-result snippets and carry their observation date, and where a star figure was never captured we publish the review count and platform alone or nothing at all. Palomino Massage & Acupuncture publishes this guide and appears in it at number seven.

Blank price cells mean no pricing was published where we looked.

Bee Cave Acupuncture

The town’s deepest named acupuncture bench, founded 2012

  • Area: Bee Cave Parkway
  • Address: 14001 Bee Cave Pkwy, Bldg B, Ste 200, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: 4.9 ★ · 260 reviews (Birdeye) — while its Facebook page shows 14 reviews over the same period; both secondhand via search snippets (observed Aug 2026)
Modalities offered by Bee Cave Acupuncture: AcupunctureFertility / IVF supportCosmetic acupunctureCuppingChinese herbal medicineMassage therapy
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureYes

Founded in 2012 by Alejandra Junco, Bee Cave Acupuncture is the town’s longest-running dedicated acupuncture practice, and the one that publishes the most about who will actually treat you. Its own site claims thirteen years serving the Texas Hill Country and more than 6,000 patients. More useful than the round numbers: it names practitioners and states their credentials — Carissa Kelly, L.Ac., with over a decade of clinical experience; Jesse Gilliam, NCCAOM board-certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, veteran-focused, and the practitioner the clinic’s own marketing highlights as accepting insurance; Dan, licensed since 2008 out of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego; Raelin, also NCCAOM board-certified. On a page about which license sits behind the treatment, that is the transparency that earns the top slot.

The service line runs well past acupuncture — cupping, microneedling, HIFU, herbal and nutrition consulting, Healy frequency therapy, membership programs and massage therapy — with fertility and IVF-support work and cosmetic acupuncture marketed specifically. A second location on Bee Caves Rd in Westlake Hills is part of why the roster is as large as it is.

Size is also the trade-off. With eight or more bios spread across two addresses and no published price list, two clients can have quite different booking experiences, and neither can compare cost before calling.

Strengths

  • Names its practitioners and states their credentials — two are NCCAOM board-certified
  • Fertility and IVF-support acupuncture marketed as a specific service line, with cosmetic acupuncture alongside
  • One practitioner accepts insurance, per the clinic’s own marketing — the only insurance position published by any Bee Cave acupuncture practice we found
  • Longest track record of any in-town acupuncture practice: founded 2012, with herbal and nutrition consulting under the same roster

Considerations

  • Pricing not published online — cost is a phone question
  • Eight or more practitioner bios across two locations, so who you see can vary; not every bio carries an explicit L.Ac. label in the text we could read
  • Its two review platforms disagree sharply in volume (260 on Birdeye, 14 on Facebook), and both figures reached us secondhand

Best for: Anyone who wants a named, credentialed acupuncturist — and fertility or veteran-focused care in particular.

Ranked number 2

Serasana Bee Cave

Both modalities on one fully published price list

  • Area: TX-71 corridor
  • Address: 15500 State Hwy 71, Ste B-250, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: 44 Yelp reviews — star rating not captured (secondhand via search snippet, observed Aug 2026)
  • Published pricing: Massage and acupuncture both: $129 / 50 min ($105 member) · $189 / 80 min ($145 member); memberships $105–$280 per month
Modalities offered by Serasana Bee Cave: Therapeutic massageThai massagePrenatal massageAcupunctureFacial rejuvenation acupunctureBody cuppingGua sha
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureYes

Serasana is a small multi-location Austin-area studio brand, and its Bee Cave location on Highway 71 does one thing no other business in this town does: it publishes a complete price list for massage and acupuncture on the same page. A 50-minute Focus massage is $129, or $105 on a membership; an 80-minute Soothing or Therapeutic session is $189, or $145. Acupuncture is priced identically at those two lengths, from an Initial Private visit through Private+ and facial rejuvenation. Memberships run $105 to $280 a month depending on how many services they cover, and package discounts of 10 to 20 percent begin at four, ten and twenty sessions.

The menu is genuinely wide — Thai and prenatal massage, gua sha, body cupping, Reiki, cranial sacral therapy, plus yoga classes and facials — and it is open seven days, including Sunday afternoons, which most of the town’s boutique practices are not.

What it does not publish is people. The location page lists an “Acupuncturists” staff category with no names attached, so a client who cares which L.Ac. they will see cannot check in advance. And while both modalities sit inside the same studio, they are delivered by separate staff — massage therapists on one side, acupuncturists on the other, which holds true at all three of Bee Cave’s dual-modality businesses.

Strengths

  • Full published pricing for both massage and acupuncture, at two clearly stated session lengths
  • Open seven days, including Sunday afternoons and a Monday evening until 8pm
  • Broadest service menu in town: Thai, prenatal, cupping, gua sha, Reiki, cranial sacral, plus yoga and facials
  • Prenatal policy published rather than left to the phone call

Considerations

  • Practitioner names and credentials are not published — the location page lists an “Acupuncturists” staff category with no names attached, so you cannot check who you will see before booking
  • Massage and acupuncture are delivered by separate staff, not one dual-licensed practitioner
  • The lowest rates shown require a monthly membership or a four-session-plus package

Best for: Someone who wants both modalities from one business at a price they can read before calling.

Ranked number 3

Alive and Well

A wellness club with a named acupuncturist on staff

  • Area: The Estates Center, RR 620
  • Address: 3944 Ranch Rd 620 S, Bldg 6, Ste 100, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: 66 Yelp reviews on its main wellness listing — star rating not captured; a separately listed pharmacy at the same address carries its own 24 (secondhand via search snippet, observed Aug 2026)
Modalities offered by Alive and Well: MassageAcupunctureFloat tankCold plungeIV therapyFunctional medicineHot yoga
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureYes

Alive and Well is the largest multi-modality operation in Bee Cave: acupuncture and massage sit alongside a float tank, cold plunge, hot yoga, IV therapy, ozone therapy, colon hydrotherapy, nutritional consulting and integrative medicine in its Ranch Road 620 building. It also keeps the longest week of any dual-modality business here — nine to eight on weekdays and open both weekend days.

Its acupuncture side carries the most specific résumé on this page. Per the practice’s own bio page, Cindy Nilson ran a solo acupuncture practice in Lakeway from 1999, for eighteen years, before bringing it to the Bee Cave location. That makes this one of the few addresses in town where a reader can point at a named practitioner with a documented history rather than a staff category.

The catch is the one that runs through Bee Cave’s whole clinical tier: no published prices anywhere. Where Serasana lists a rate for every service, Alive and Well asks you to call or book a consultation — normal for functional-medicine practices, and still a reason you cannot comparison-shop it against the studio down the road. One practical note: a separately listed pharmacy operates at the same address with its own review profile, so directory ratings for the two are easy to conflate.

Strengths

  • Named acupuncturist with a documented history — Cindy Nilson, per the practice’s own bio page, following an eighteen-year solo Lakeway practice begun in 1999
  • Open seven days with weekday hours to 8pm — the widest window of any dual-modality business in town
  • Recovery and integrative services massage-only studios do not carry: float tank, cold plunge, IV therapy, functional medicine
  • Both modalities available inside one membership-style wellness center

Considerations

  • No pricing published online — session cost requires a call or a booked consultation
  • Massage and acupuncture are delivered by different staff members, not one dual-licensed practitioner
  • A separately listed pharmacy at the same address keeps its own reviews, so aggregate ratings are easy to mix up

Best for: A client who wants acupuncture alongside recovery services — float, cold plunge, IV therapy — in one building.

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa

Galleria-side franchise with the longest hours in town

  • Area: Hill Country Galleria
  • Address: 13500 Galleria Cir, Ste U-105, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: ~58 Yelp reviews (an earlier crawl showed 50) — star rating not captured; secondhand via search snippet (observed Aug 2026)
  • Published pricing: Classic massage $79.95 member / $129.95 non-member · deep tissue $89.95 / $139.95 · first visit $79.95
Modalities offered by Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa: Classic massageDeep tissueHot stoneHimalayan salt stonePrenatal massageOncology massageFacials
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureNo

The Bee Cave Hand & Stone sits on Galleria Circle, minutes from Whole Foods and the Cinemark, and it is built for exactly that context: doors open at 8:45am Monday through Saturday, 9:45am on Sundays, and the last bookings run to 9:15pm every day. Nothing else in this guide is close on hours.

Its price list is fully published, which is rarer in this town than it should be. A Classic massage is $79.95 for members and $129.95 without a membership; deep tissue is $89.95 and $139.95; hot stone and Himalayan salt stone are $119.95 and $169.95; prenatal and oncology massage are priced with the Classic. A first visit is $79.95 for any massage or facial — the lowest figure on this page we could verify from the business’s own site.

The economics are the part to understand before booking. This is a membership franchise, and the gap between member and non-member rates — roughly 50 to 60 percent on the same service, across the chain — is the model rather than a promotion. Booked monthly, the member rate is the cheapest published massage in Bee Cave; booked twice a year, the non-member figure is what you actually pay. There is no acupuncture at any Hand & Stone location, so this is a massage-and-facial decision only.

Strengths

  • Open to 9:15pm every night — 8:45am opens Monday through Saturday, 9:45am Sundays; by far the widest booking window in Bee Cave
  • Every service price published, member and non-member, on its own site
  • $79.95 introductory rate on any massage or facial for a first visit
  • Named specialty options a franchise does not always carry: prenatal and oncology massage, Himalayan salt stone, hot stone

Considerations

  • Membership-driven pricing: non-member rates run roughly 50–60% above member rates for the same service
  • Acupuncture not offered at any Hand & Stone location
  • The $79.95 introductory price applies to a first visit only

Best for: A same-day or late-evening massage fitted around a Hill Country Galleria errand run.

Ranked number 5

milk + honey | Hill Country Galleria

Nine treatment rooms of spa, salon and massage

  • Area: Hill Country Galleria
  • Address: 110 Hill Country Blvd D1, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: ~4.4–4.5 ★ · 193 Yelp reviews (secondhand via a search snippet dated July 2026; observed Aug 2026)
Modalities offered by milk + honey | Hill Country Galleria: Swedish massageDeep tissuePrenatal massageCouples massageHydrafacialsWaxingHair and nails
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureNo

milk + honey is the Hill Country Galleria’s flagship spa-and-salon, part of an Austin brand founded in 2006 by Alissa Bayer; secondary sources place this location’s opening in 2008. Nine treatment rooms handle Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal and couples massage, while the rest of the floor runs Hydrafacials and facials, waxing, lash extensions, manicures, pedicures, and hair cutting and color.

That breadth is both the appeal and the caveat. For a birthday morning, an anniversary, or a pre-event block for four people, one address covering massage, skin, nails and blowouts is genuinely convenient — and with roughly 4.4 to 4.5 stars across 193 reviews as of a July 2026 snapshot, it carries far more public feedback than most businesses on this list.

It is, though, a salon that offers massage rather than a massage practice, and one operational detail matters: when we checked, the brand’s own location page for this spa returned a 404, so the current menu, session lengths and prices could not be read from the source. Confirm the length of what you are booking when you schedule it, and confirm the price at the same time. No acupuncture is offered here.

Strengths

  • Nine treatment rooms and a couples-massage option — the largest massage capacity in Bee Cave
  • One address for massage, facials, waxing, nails and hair, which suits group and event bookings
  • The deepest public review trail of any provider on this page (193 reviews)
  • Sits inside the Hill Country Galleria itself, with long daily hours reported by aggregators

Considerations

  • The brand’s own page for this location returned a 404 when we checked, so menu, session lengths and prices could not be verified at source
  • No pricing published in the sources we could reach
  • Acupuncture not offered; massage is one line among hair, nails, lashes and skin services

Best for: Group, couples and event bookings where massage is one part of a longer spa or salon visit.

Ranked number 6

Highland Lakes Acupuncture

One named L.Ac., DACM, with an oncology focus

  • Area: Bee Caves Rd
  • Address: 11701 Bee Caves Rd, Ste 219, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: 10 Yelp reviews — star rating not captured (secondhand via search snippet, observed Aug 2026)
Modalities offered by Highland Lakes Acupuncture: AcupunctureChinese herbal medicineOncology-supportive careFunctional-medicine lab review
  • MassageNo
  • AcupunctureYes

Highland Lakes Acupuncture has been on Bee Caves Road since 2011, and it is the cleanest single answer on this page to the question the page is named after. The owner is Agnes Nowakowski, L.Ac., DACM — a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, an active member of the Society for Acupuncture Research and the Society for Integrative Oncology, and profiled in Nancy’s List, an independent oncology-resource directory rather than her own marketing. She practices acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, integrates functional-medicine lab interpretation into treatment, and centers the practice on oncology-supportive care.

For a reader who wants to know exactly who will treat them, and to check that person against a third-party source, this is the shortest path in Bee Cave.

Access is the constraint. The clinic keeps three days a week — Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday — which is hard to work around a standard job or a sudden flare, and there is no massage offered at all. No prices are published, and when we fetched the practice’s own domain it returned no readable content, so scheduling and cost both go through the phone. Ten Yelp reviews is also a thin public record for a practice this credentialed, which cuts both ways: little to read, but a very specific person to ask about.

Strengths

  • A single named owner-practitioner: Agnes Nowakowski, L.Ac., DACM — Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
  • Credentials corroborated by an independent oncology-resource directory, not only by the practice’s own site
  • Oncology-supportive acupuncture as a stated specialty — the only practice in town naming it
  • Chinese herbal medicine and functional-medicine lab interpretation offered alongside treatment; established 2011

Considerations

  • Open three days a week only — Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
  • Massage not offered
  • Pricing not published, and the practice’s own domain returned no readable content when we fetched it — scheduling is by phone

Best for: A credential-conscious patient who wants one specific, checkable Licensed Acupuncturist — especially for oncology-supportive care.

Palomino Massage & Acupuncture

Acupuncture, and dry needling performed within that same licence

  • Area: Downtown Marble Falls — 32 miles west
  • Address: 515 Main St, Marble Falls, TX 78654
  • Published pricing: Acupuncture $75 / 60 min · massage $150 / 60 min · acupuncture + massage $175 / 90 min
Modalities offered by Palomino Massage & Acupuncture: AcupunctureTherapeutic massageSignature acupuncture + massageDeep tissueCuppingChinese herbal medicineDry needling (within L.Ac. scope)
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureYes

Palomino publishes this guide, and it sits at seven rather than higher for a reason we would rather state than bury: Bee Cave has three businesses selling both modalities, two credentialed acupuncture-only clinics, and a franchise taking bookings until 9:15pm. For most Bee Cave appointments, one of those is the right answer, and a 32-mile drive is not.

The narrow case where the arithmetic changes is the one this page exists to explain. Across the sixteen Bee Cave businesses we profiled, as of 2 August 2026 we found none where a single person holds both licenses — the three dual-modality businesses staff massage and acupuncture separately, and the town’s two solo L.Ac. practices do not offer massage at all. One caveat carries a date: a chiropractic practice relocating to 12117 Bee Caves Rd on 10 August 2026 employs an acupuncturist who is also a licensed massage therapist at its outgoing Lakeway address, and whether she practises at the Bee Cave one is unresolved in public sources — the market section above sets out what we could and could not confirm. Julie K. O’Leary holds both licenses herself: Licensed Acupuncturist and Licensed Massage Therapist, plus a licensed herbalist credential, a Master of Oriental Medicine from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, and a BA in medical anthropology from UT Austin. She has been in practice since 2004. On this page’s own taxonomy she sits in the first category and nowhere else: the dry needling she offers is a technique used inside her acupuncture license, not a chiropractic certification and not a physical-therapy add-on.

In practical terms that means acupuncture and hands-on bodywork can happen inside one 90-minute Signature session instead of two appointments, and the person who takes your history is the person who does the work. Every bookable session carries a published price: $75 for 60 minutes of acupuncture, $150 for 60 minutes of therapeutic massage, $175 for the 90-minute blend. Three menu items are not priced that way — cupping is billed as a session add-on, dry needling is quoted on request, and Chinese herbal medicine is priced after a consultation — so ask about those on the first call.

Strengths

  • One practitioner holds both licenses — L.Ac. and LMT — and performs both modalities personally
  • Acupuncture and bodywork blended inside a single 90-minute Signature session rather than split across two appointments
  • Master of Oriental Medicine from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin; BA in medical anthropology from UT Austin; licensed herbalist
  • In practice since 2004, with a flat published price for every bookable session

Considerations

  • Not in Bee Cave — 32 miles west in Marble Falls, 37 to 43 minutes via TX-71
  • A single-practitioner studio: there is no second therapist to book with when the calendar is full
  • Three menu items carry no listed rate: cupping is billed as a session add-on, dry needling is quoted on request, and Chinese herbal medicine is priced after a consultation
  • Recently rebranded from JKO Massage & Acupuncture and relocated to 515 Main St, so some directories and review aggregators still carry the former name, address and review history

Best for: Someone in a course of treatment who wants acupuncture and massage from the same licensed practitioner, in one session.

All Is Well Austin

A solo acupuncturist in Falconhead, acupuncture only

  • Area: Falconhead
  • Address: 14425 Falcon Head Blvd, Bldg E, Ste 100, Bee Cave, TX 78738
Modalities offered by All Is Well Austin: AcupunctureCosmetic acupunctureFacial rejuvenation
  • MassageNo
  • AcupunctureYes

All Is Well Austin is a single-practitioner acupuncture practice in Building E on Falcon Head Boulevard — inside Bee Cave city limits, despite the trade name, which is a small illustration of how loosely “Austin” attaches to addresses along this stretch of the 620 and 71 corridor. Darcie Beyer, L.Ac., holds a master’s degree from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin and is licensed as an acupuncturist through the Texas Medical Board, per the practice’s own About page.

The service line is deliberately narrow: general acupuncture plus facial and cosmetic acupuncture and rejuvenation work. Hours are better than most solo clinics here — six days, closing at 7pm on Tuesday and 8pm on Friday, closed Sundays — which makes it one of the few credentialed acupuncture options in town a full-time worker can reach after hours.

Two things to know going in. There is no massage on site, so despite sharing Building E with a studio that does offer it, this is not a two-modality address. And we could not confirm a star rating or review count from any source, which removes the usual shortcut of reading the reviews first; pricing is not published either, so both questions go to the phone.

Strengths

  • One named practitioner: Darcie Beyer, L.Ac., with a master’s from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin
  • Licensure stated explicitly — an acupuncture license through the Texas Medical Board — on the practice’s own About page
  • Six-day week with evening closes at 7pm Tuesday and 8pm Friday, unusual among the town’s solo clinics
  • Cosmetic and facial acupuncture offered alongside general treatment

Considerations

  • Massage not offered — despite sharing Building E with a massage-offering studio
  • No star rating or review count could be confirmed in any source we checked
  • Pricing not published; closed Sundays

Best for: An after-hours acupuncture appointment with a single named L.Ac., including cosmetic and facial work.

Ranked number 9

Massage + Chiro

Massage delivered inside a chiropractic visit, cash-pay

  • Area: RR 620 South
  • Address: 3932-A Ranch Rd 620 S, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Public rating: ~4.5 ★ · 25 reviews (Yelp, secondhand via search snippet, observed Aug 2026)
  • Published pricing: New client: $79 / 60 min light · $99 / 60 min deep tissue. Standard: $105 / 60 min light · $129.50 / 60 min deep tissue
Modalities offered by Massage + Chiro: Massage therapyChiropractic adjustmentAssisted stretchingSpinal decompression
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureNo

Massage + Chiro is Dr. Lanny Brustein’s practice on Ranch Road 620, and it sells a different product from everything above it: massage is delivered inside a chiropractic visit, alongside the adjustment, assisted stretching and spinal decompression, rather than booked as a spa service.

It publishes real numbers, which puts it in the minority here. New clients pay $79 for a 60-minute light massage or $99 for 60 minutes of deep tissue; the standing rates afterwards are $105 and $129.50 for the same lengths. The practice is cash-pay and does not bill insurance — worth knowing up front, because it removes a claims process and also removes any prospect of a plan covering the work.

Weekday hours run from mid-morning to 6pm, with a short Saturday. That Saturday is the detail to confirm: the practice’s own site lists a Saturday morning window while a directory listing shows Saturday closed, so call rather than assume. There is no acupuncture here — which is worth stating on this page, because in a town where two chiropractic offices do market needling, this one does not. If what you want is the adjustment and the soft-tissue work inside one appointment, it is the clearest option in Bee Cave.

Strengths

  • Massage and chiropractic care combined in a single appointment, with assisted stretching and spinal decompression available
  • New-client and standard rates both published, with session lengths stated
  • A named practitioner — Dr. Lanny Brustein, DC — with an urgent-care text line published alongside the main number
  • No acupuncture marketed here, which removes any credential ambiguity about what is on offer

Considerations

  • Cash-pay only — the practice does not bill insurance
  • Massage is delivered as part of an integrated chiropractic visit, not sold as a standalone spa massage
  • Saturday hours differ between the practice’s own site and a directory listing — call to confirm
  • Acupuncture not offered

Best for: A desk-strain or golf-strain client who wants the adjustment and the soft-tissue work in one visit.

Ranked number 10

Bee Cave Massage

Late hours, low reported prices, phone-first booking

  • Area: Bee Caves Rd
  • Address: 11715 Bee Caves Rd, Ste 300, Bee Cave, TX 78738
  • Published pricing: $70 / 60 min body massage · $120 / 90 min Restore · $70 for a 30-min back + 30-min foot combination (listed via a third-party booking aggregator, not the studio’s own site)
Modalities offered by Bee Cave Massage: Deep tissueSwedish massageReflexologyTherapeutic massage
  • MassageYes
  • AcupunctureNo

Bee Cave Massage sits at 11715 Bee Caves Road, a few doors along the same corridor as Highland Lakes Acupuncture, and it runs the longest daily hours of any independent studio in this guide: 10am to 8:30pm Monday through Saturday, and 11am to 8pm on Sunday. For anyone who needs a table after work without joining a franchise, that alone earns it a place on the list.

The menu is straightforward — deep tissue, Swedish, reflexology and general therapeutic work, plus a split back-and-foot session — and the prices we found are the lowest in town: $70 for a 60-minute body massage, $120 for a 90-minute Restore session, and $70 for a 30-minute back plus 30-minute foot combination.

The caveat is where those numbers came from. Both the prices and the star ratings attributed to this studio surfaced on a third-party booking aggregator rather than the studio’s own site or a directly verified Google or Yelp listing, and we found no website for the business at all. Treat the figures as a starting point and confirm them by phone before you go. No acupuncture is offered, and several directories file the address under an Austin postal city even though it sits in the 78738 corridor.

Strengths

  • Longest daily hours of any independent studio here — to 8:30pm six days, and open Sundays
  • The lowest reported session prices in Bee Cave, with no membership attached
  • Reflexology and a split back-and-foot session, which the town’s franchise and day-spa menus do not carry
  • Open seven days a week

Considerations

  • Both the pricing and the star ratings we found come from a single third-party booking aggregator rather than the studio’s own site or a directly verified Google or Yelp listing — confirm by phone
  • No website found for the business
  • Acupuncture not offered
  • Several directories list the postal city as Austin although the address sits in the 78738 Bee Cave corridor

Best for: A budget-minded evening or Sunday massage booked directly by phone, with no membership.

05 — Choose By Scenario

Which one is right for you?

  • If you'rea Galleria shopper mid-errand trying to book a same-day or late-evening massage without a round of phone tag…

    Choose Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa

    Open until 9:15pm every night, from 8:45am Monday through Saturday — no other provider in Bee Cave comes close on hours — with every price published and a $79.95 first-visit rate on any massage or facial. It is a few minutes from Whole Foods and the Cinemark.

  • If you'rean oncology patient trying to add supportive acupuncture alongside cancer treatment or recovery, from someone who works with these patients regularly…

    Choose Highland Lakes Acupuncture

    Agnes Nowakowski, L.Ac., DACM, is an active member of the Society for Integrative Oncology and the Society for Acupuncture Research, and is profiled in Nancy’s List, an independent oncology-resource directory. Plan around a three-day week — Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday — and clear any supportive care with your oncology team first.

  • If you'resomeone coordinating acupuncture with an IVF cycle trying to time fertility-support sessions around a treatment calendar, ideally with the same practitioner each visit…

    Choose Bee Cave Acupuncture

    The only Bee Cave practice that markets fertility and IVF-support acupuncture as a named service line, with credentialed practitioners including two NCCAOM diplomates. Ask to be booked with the same person each time: the roster runs to eight or more bios across two locations, so continuity is something to arrange rather than assume.

  • If you'rean expecting mother comparing published policies trying to book prenatal massage where the trimester rules and the price are both readable in advance…

    Choose Serasana Bee Cave

    It is the one Bee Cave business we found publishing a prenatal policy — offered at all stages of pregnancy except during the first trimester with certain conditions — alongside a printed price for the session. Hand & Stone also lists prenatal massage, priced with its Classic. Clear massage with your prenatal provider first either way.

  • If you'rea budget-minded regular with no interest in a membership trying to pay per visit for an affordable evening or Sunday massage, booked by phone…

    Choose Bee Cave Massage

    The lowest reported rates in town — $70 for 60 minutes, $120 for a 90-minute Restore — with hours to 8:30pm six days and Sunday openings. Both the prices and its star ratings came to us via a third-party booking aggregator rather than the studio itself, so confirm the figure when you call.

  • If you'resomeone in a course of combined treatment trying to get acupuncture and hands-on bodywork from the same licensed practitioner in one appointment…

    Choose Palomino Massage & Acupuncture

    As of 2 August 2026 this was the one scenario Bee Cave’s sixteen providers did not answer for us: no in-town practitioner was found holding both licenses personally, so both modalities means two staff members and usually two appointments. Check that first — a chiropractic practice relocating to a Bee Cave address on 10 August 2026 lists a dual-licensed acupuncturist among its Lakeway staff, and whether she moves with it was unconfirmed when we published. If she does not, Palomino is 32 miles west in Marble Falls — 37 to 43 minutes on TX-71 — where one practitioner performs both inside a single 90-minute session. We publish this guide, so weigh that accordingly.

40min

Typical route

West on TX-71 through Spicewood, then north on US-281 into downtown Marble Falls

06 — Worth The Drive?

Bee Cave to Marble Falls: the honest TX-71 arithmetic

Thirty-two miles, and two independent mapping sources put it at 37 to 43 minutes with no traffic. The route is almost turn-free: TX-71 west out of Bee Cave, Spicewood at roughly the halfway mark, on to the US-281 junction, then about five miles north across the Marble Falls bridge to Main Street. Anyone who has driven out toward Pace Bend or up to the Highland Lakes has already done most of it.

For most of what Bee Cave residents book, that distance is not the sensible choice, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Sixteen businesses work this town. A Thursday-evening deep tissue is eight minutes away at the Galleria and $79.95 on a first visit; a fertility-support acupuncture course has a clinic on Bee Cave Pkwy with four named, credentialed practitioners. Nothing on this page argues you should drive past those for the equivalent service.

One situation changes the arithmetic: wanting acupuncture and hands-on bodywork from the same licensed person, in the same session. In Bee Cave, as of 2 August 2026, that means two staff members inside one business, two appointments and two intake conversations — the three dual-modality businesses here all split the modalities between separate staff, and neither solo L.Ac. practice offers massage. Forty minutes each way, once or twice a month, against two appointments booked around two calendars: that is the actual trade, and it is the only one this page claims. It is also the claim with the shortest shelf life on this page — the relocation described in the market section could put a dual-licensed practitioner at a Bee Cave address, so make the phone call before you make the drive.

07 — Good To Know

Common questions about massage & acupuncture in Bee Cave

01Can a chiropractor legally perform acupuncture in Texas?

Yes — but it is a different credential from a Licensed Acupuncturist’s, and the distinction is worth understanding before you book. Acupuncturists in Texas are licensed through the Texas Medical Board’s Acupuncture Board, a pathway that requires acupuncture-specific graduate education and board examination. Chiropractors are licensed separately and may obtain a chiropractic acupuncture certification permitting needling within the chiropractic scope of practice. Both are lawful; they are not the same license, the same training hours, or the same scope of practice. Bee Cave has a live example. Bee Cave Chiropractic & Acupuncture, established 2008, offers acupuncture administered by Dr. Jon Swanson, DC, under a chiropractor’s certification rather than by a separately Board-licensed L.Ac. If your reason for booking is specifically that you want an L.Ac., ask which license the person treating you holds.

02Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

No, and Bee Cave is a good place to see why, because both are sold within a few minutes of each other. Dry needling uses a fine filiform needle to target myofascial trigger points and is performed within chiropractic or physical-therapy scope of practice. Acupuncture is a separate discipline with its own Texas licensure, its own graduate training, and point selection grounded in channel theory. Dynamic Sports Medicine, which opened in Bee Cave in May 2026 in the unit the closed Massage Envy used to occupy, markets dry needling and cupping therapy as part of a sports-chiropractic menu. It is not an acupuncture clinic and does not present itself as one. The superficial similarity — needles, cups — does a lot of work in local search results, so read the credential rather than the photograph.

03Does any Bee Cave acupuncturist take insurance?

One does, per the clinic’s own marketing. Bee Cave Acupuncture on Bee Cave Pkwy highlights that its practitioner Jesse Gilliam — NCCAOM board-certified in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, with a veteran focus — accepts insurance. No other Bee Cave practice we checked publishes an insurance position at all, and since none of the town’s acupuncture clinics publishes prices either, coverage and cost are both phone questions here. Terms vary widely by plan across Texas; our Round Rock guide covers how the major carriers and Medicare treat acupuncture in a market where insurance-billed acupuncture is the local norm. When you call a Bee Cave clinic, ask two things: does this specific practitioner bill my plan, and what is the self-pay rate if they do not.

04Where do people near Bee Cave go for fertility or IVF-support acupuncture?

Bee Cave Acupuncture markets fertility and IVF-support acupuncture explicitly as a service line, and review content that surfaced in our research references support around embryo transfer. It is the only Bee Cave practice we found naming that focus. Serasana Bee Cave and Alive and Well both employ acupuncturists and publish broad service lists, but neither markets a fertility program specifically. One practical note matters more than the marketing: if you are timing sessions to a cycle, ask whether you can book the same practitioner each visit. Bee Cave Acupuncture runs eight or more practitioner bios across two locations, so continuity is something to arrange rather than assume. None of this is clinical advice — coordinate any adjunct care with the clinic managing your treatment.

05Is there oncology-support acupuncture near Bee Cave?

Highland Lakes Acupuncture on Bee Caves Rd is the one practice in town that names it. Its owner, Agnes Nowakowski, L.Ac., DACM, is an active member of the Society for Acupuncture Research and the Society for Integrative Oncology, and is profiled in Nancy’s List, an independent oncology-resource directory rather than her own marketing. Separately, Hand & Stone’s Bee Cave location lists an oncology massage at the same price as its Classic massage — that is trained massage for people in or after treatment, not acupuncture, and the two are not interchangeable. Two practical points: Highland Lakes is open only Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, so booking takes planning, and any supportive care alongside cancer treatment should be cleared with your oncology team first.

06Is Massage Envy in Bee Cave still open?

No. The Massage Envy at 12921 Shops Pkwy — often listed as Massage Envy Lakeway — is permanently closed. Yelp’s own listing carried the closure tag when we checked, and the unit is now occupied by Dynamic Sports Medicine, which opened there in May 2026. The chain’s corporate locator page for the address was still live when we looked, which is precisely why we check listings against the businesses themselves. A second closure also still clutters local results: Massage Harmony on Bee Cave Rd shut all four of its Austin-area locations in November 2018. Note that Massage Harmony is a completely separate business from Harmony Women’s Wellness on Bee Cave Pkwy, which is open — the similar names are easy to conflate.

07How does member versus non-member pricing work at Hand & Stone in Bee Cave?

The published gap between the two rates is the entire model, not a promotion. At the Bee Cave location a Classic massage is $79.95 for members and $129.95 without a membership; deep tissue is $89.95 against $139.95; hot stone and Himalayan salt stone are $119.95 against $169.95. A first visit is $79.95 for any massage or facial regardless of membership. Across the chain, non-member rates run roughly 50 to 60 percent above member rates for the same service, so the calculation is simply how often you go: at monthly or better, the member rate is the cheapest published massage in Bee Cave, and at two or three visits a year the walk-in figure is what you will actually pay. Serasana runs a comparable structure, with memberships from $105 to $280 a month.

08Which Bee Cave studios take prenatal clients, and what are the rules?

Three published options, with different amounts of detail available in advance. Serasana Bee Cave lists prenatal massage and states it is offered at all stages of pregnancy except during the first trimester with certain conditions — the only prenatal policy we found published by a Bee Cave business, and worth reading before you book. Hand & Stone lists prenatal massage at the same price as its Classic: $79.95 for members, $129.95 without. milk + honey lists prenatal among its massage services, though we could not verify its current menu or session lengths because the brand’s own page for the Hill Country Galleria location returned a 404 when we checked. Standard practice everywhere is to clear massage with your prenatal provider first, then confirm the studio’s own policy for your trimester.
