Embody Beauty Studio

Embody Beauty Studio is a small studio in McAllen run by Aimee Gonzalez, and bookings are taken online through GlossGenius. The studio is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons and closed Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday.

The somatic menu has three options. A standalone 75-minute session may include inner child healing or parts work and costs $175 with a $75 deposit. The 90-minute new-client session opens with a conversation, then moves into gentle holding, soft tissue work and touch on the shoulders, feet, wrists and jaw; it costs $250 with an $80 deposit. The 60-minute session for returning clients only begins with a short check-in and an intention agreed on in advance, and costs $160 with a $65 deposit.

For facial work, the Sacred Facelift Massage is a 60-minute session that combines facial massage with an intraoral buccal jaw release, followed by work on the neck and upper chest and a scalp release. It does not include extractions or corrective skincare, and it costs $185 with a $65 deposit. The Restorative Ritual is also a 60-minute facial. It opens with cleansing and exfoliation, applies targeted serums, and includes extractions when needed. Dermaplaning can be added on request. The price is $185, with a $75 deposit.

Cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a 75% cancellation fee. A customer review on the about page describes the service and products as high quality, according to that reviewer.

Sessions are touch-based and aim to release tension and support the nervous system.
