STEPHANIE PANFILI CHANG - LMT, CMLDT, CST

Come as you are, let's help you heal.

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT) and Craniosacral Therapist (CST) in Austin, Texas. My career began in 2003, with the simple intention of learning about, connecting with and changing my own hurting body. While studying massage therapy at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing in Los Angeles, I learned many ways to move through and overcome my physical pain. I deeply connected with and loved what I experienced and my career in bodywork was born.

In 2005, I moved to Austin and within a couple years I founded Austin Body Therapy. As time moved along, I became a mother and have had the challenging experience of raising a child with special needs. As difficult as times have been, this experience has given me expanded compassion, empathy and perspective that has allowed me to connect more deeply with myself, my children and others. 

Blessedly, I found my way to craniosacral therapy (CST) and eventually lymphatic therapy (MLD) to help with regulating my family’s nervous systems. Eventually, I studied CST and MLD. Through my personal experiences and studying these bodies of work I have learned and continue to learn more and more about the importance of nervous system regulation, lymphatic system efficiency and I’m honored to share this work with my clients.

Professionally, it has been my pride and joy to cultivate Austin Body Therapy. Whether you need craniosacral therapy, manual lymphatic drainage or therapeutic massage, individually or blended together, I enjoy finding what’s right for you. I look forward to working together.
