Ben Johnson, LMT

Providing holistic, therapeutic massage in Austin, TX

Ben Johnson is a licensed massage therapist offering custom, intuitive bodywork in South Austin. A graduate of the 500-hour program at The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School, Ben is trained in Swedish massage, sports therapy, trigger point work, and myofascial release. His technique is rooted in The Lauterstein Method, combining structural precision with a calming, therapeutic touch.

Ben’s work is grounded in the belief that massage is more than a luxury, it’s a powerful tool for wellness, recovery, and reconnecting with your body. Whether addressing chronic pain, stress, or post-workout fatigue, every session is thoughtfully tailored to meet your body’s needs.

As a longtime distance runner and active member of Austin Front Runners, Ben understands the demands placed on the body. He’s supported athlete recovery at local endurance events including the Austin Marathon, Cap10K, and the Austin Distance Challenge, helping runners bounce back with care and intention.

Before massage therapy, Ben spent over a decade in video production and digital media. That background sharpened his attention to detail, storytelling, and presence, qualities he now brings into every massage session.

At Zen with Ben, clients can expect more than just massage. Each experience is enhanced with warm towels, aromatherapy, calming music, and a relaxing space designed to help you fully let go and reset.
