• Role: Licensed Massage Therapist
• Location: Austin, Round Rock, and Dallas, Texas
• Employment: Full-time and part-time W-2 positions
• Pay: $50 to $60 per hour on average including tips

Applicants should hold a valid Texas Licensed Massage Therapy license and have at least six months of professional experience. Candidates can settle their preferred work location, recurring schedule, and weekend or holiday availability before applying.

The therapist delivers Swedish, deep tissue, pregnancy and prenatal, sports, Ashiatsu, hot stone, reflexology, and couples massage. Strong hands-on technique supports both the treatment plan and the client experience across these service types.

Viva describes its massage care as results-driven and luxurious, but the daily work remains concrete: therapists provide the selected service, respond to client needs, and maintain a calm, welcoming manner. The role calls for attention to detail, problem-solving ability, a strong work ethic, and a collaborative approach to care.

Therapists work a permanent schedule that does not change from week to week. Employees do not need to remain onsite when they have no bookings, which separates booked treatment time from unassigned hours.

Weekend and some holiday availability is required because the business operates every day from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The therapist must also stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 pounds while meeting the physical demands of massage service.

A valid State of Texas Licensed Massage Therapy license is required. The position calls for at least six months of professional experience, while one or more years in a spa or massage environment is preferred.

• Technical skill across several massage methods
• Welcoming, calm, and nurturing client care
• Responsible, wellness-oriented teamwork
• Attention to detail and problem-solving
• Ability to stand, bend, squat, twist, and lift 25 pounds

Therapists bring the legal authorization and hands-on practice needed for the service menu. Physical readiness matters because massage work combines sustained standing with repeated movement and pressure throughout booked sessions.

New hires complete 12 to 14 hours of training after hiring. Quarterly Licensed Massage Therapist team meetings add a recurring point for shared practice and workplace communication.

Viva also provides ADP Essential Learning with thousands of online courses. Continuing education reimbursement starts after six months, and ongoing training supports the development of therapists who remain active across the service menu.

Viva opened its first Austin location in June 2005. Founders Laurie Aroch, Shannon Mouser, and Maya Aroch established the business, and Shannon Mouser brings more than 20 years as a licensed massage therapist.

The employer has around 100 massage therapists on staff and operates locations in Austin and Round Rock, with Dallas included among the advertised openings. The business pays overhead, credit card fees for tips, massage supplies, marketing, and the costs of building a therapist's book of business.
