Massage Therapist, Willis, Texas. Liz Royce has over 33 years of experience in massage therapy and hands-on healing. My goal is to help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve overall well-being. I believe healing begins by listening to your body. Each session is personalized to your needs. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, muscle tension, recovering from injury, or easing stress, I take the time to understand what’s going on and create a treatment plan just for you. My approach blends therapeutic massage with a deep understanding of how the body works as a whole, not just where it hurts. My mission is simple: help you move more freely, feel better, and support your body’s natural ability to heal. I look forward to being part of your wellness journey.
Liz’s Story
I began doing massages in 1993 just for friends. It all began with a boyfriend I had at the time who had been in an accident and had been going through physical therapy for 3 years. He could only raise his left arm about 10 degrees before he had pain. Since I was in a minor accident in 1990, I had been going to a chiropractor and had received massages from the massage therapist and remembered what it felt like. I decided to offer my then-boyfriend a massage just on the left shoulder area. After 3 months of massaging his left shoulder area about 2-3 times a week, he was able to raise his left arm about 90 degrees before he felt any pain. I thought to myself “maybe I have a niche with this massage stuff.” So I somehow started giving massages to friends. Many of them asked the question “when did you go to massage school?” Of course I replied “I haven’t gone yet.” Then I thought “maybe I should go so I get properly trained.” And it worked out that after I was laid off from GTE (now Verizon) in 1997, I decided to go to massage school. Before getting laid off, I did some research on massage schools and found a school that felt like home to me. I spent the whole year of 1998 at Mesa Institute in Orange completing 1000 hours. I was asked to instruct the Massage Technician class at another school in El Monte that was affiliated with Mesa Institute for about a year. She also took the opportunity to go to Hawaii in October (1998) for the Ironman Triathlon. There, I was a member of the World’s Largest Massage Team in which I had the honor of massaging 16 participants, from all over the world, after they finished the triathlon. After completing the 1000 hours, I was asked to work with one of my instructors who was also a chiropractor. After a couple months of working with that chiropractor, I was referred to a fellow chiropractor (in Huntington Beach) and worked in that office from February 1999 till March 2014 (15 years). I have worked for a number of other chiropractors along the way.
Recently, I have been learning more about meditation, specifically on the healing properties that it can have. I have been to a number of workshops that focused on meditations as well as the education about what goes on in your brain and body during and after the meditations. Scientific research and studies have been done to prove the benefits of certain meditations for certain lengths of time. I am able to incorporate meditation with my massage to give even MORE benefit to clients’ pain relief and healing. It has proven very effective with a few of my ‘test’ clients. This added enhancement to my services can be added to a session of 90 minutes or longer. There is a limited choice of the best meditations to choose from. The secret of my massages with a meditation is consistency. Just like any ‘treatment’, it takes more than 1 or 2 sessions to get the healing process rolling. So, BOOK NOW, and be consistent with AT LEAST weekly sessions.
