Palomino Massage & Acupuncture
Published rates for acupuncture, massage and the 90-minute blend
Palomino is not a Granite Shoals business, and this guide does not pretend otherwise: it works from 515 Main St in downtown Marble Falls, about eight miles east on RM 1431. It ranks first here for two reasons, both of which survive being stated out loud.
The first is structural. Our research found no storefront massage or acupuncture provider inside Granite Shoals to rank above it, and no acupuncture of any kind at any address in town — so there is no closer alternative for a reader to weigh this against. The second reason is narrower than it first looks. Julie K. O’Leary holds both a Texas acupuncture license (L.Ac.) and a massage therapy license (LMT) and performs both modalities herself, including in a single 90-minute session; across the surrounding market, no other single practitioner holding both was found. Sana Vida, ranked directly below and the same twelve minutes away, also pairs the two modalities — with a separate practitioner for each, and a complete published price list of its own. If one person handling both halves of a session matters to you, that is the distinction; if it does not, the entry below is a genuine alternative and we would rather you knew it.
Julie has practiced since 2004, holds a Master of Oriental Medicine from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin and a BA in medical anthropology from UT Austin, and posts the rate for each of the three session types publicly. Two of the add-ons on her menu — cupping and Chinese herbal formulas — are the exception, quoted per visit rather than listed.
Strengths
- The only single practitioner found within the twelve-minute radius licensed in both acupuncture and massage therapy — and the only one who blends both into one 90-minute session
- All three session types carry a published rate before you book: $75 for 60-minute acupuncture, $150 for 60-minute massage, $175 for the 90-minute combined session
- Online booking through Square, with a fixed downtown Marble Falls address on the road Granite Shoals already drives east
- Practicing since 2004; Master of Oriental Medicine from AOMA in Austin and a BA in medical anthropology from UT Austin
Considerations
- Not in Granite Shoals — every session happens at the Marble Falls studio, roughly a 12-minute drive on RM 1431
- A single-practitioner practice runs on one calendar; there is no second therapist to absorb a same-day request
- Hours are Monday to Friday, 11am to 6pm, Saturdays by appointment, closed Sunday
- Recently rebranded and relocated from JKO Massage & Acupuncture at 609 N US Hwy 281 — some directories and review profiles still show the former name and address
Best for: Granite Shoals readers who want acupuncture and hands-on bodywork from the same licensed practitioner in one visit
