Meet Valarie Middleton, LMT

For more than fifteen years, Valarie has worked with clients seeking relief from everyday stress, desk-related tension, athletic recovery support, prenatal comfort, and restorative relaxation. Her practice is rooted in listening first—then matching techniques to the person on the table that day.

Valarie was drawn to massage therapy for its combination of skilled touch, whole-person attention, and the quiet impact of helping someone leave lighter than when they arrived. She continues that work at Lux by offering unhurried, customized sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all menu.

• Deep tissue and focused therapeutic work
• Relaxation and stress-reset sessions
• Sports and activity-related tension support
• Pregnancy massage with careful positioning
• Gentle lymphatic-style wellness work
• Optional add-ons such as aromatherapy, cupping, hot stone, and nervous system reset

Explore sessions and techniques

Every body is different. Valarie believes pressure, pace, and focus should be collaborative—clear check-ins, respectful draping, and sessions designed around your goals rather than a rigid script.

Valarie is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). Additional training details may be shared on request; this site lists only credentials confirmed by the practice.

Valarie enjoys working with clients who want honest communication, practical relief, and a peaceful environment—whether you are new to massage, highly active, desk-bound, expecting, or simply ready for a reset.

She opened Lux Massage Therapy to create a professional, welcoming studio in the heart of Nacogdoches where clients can book with confidence, settle into a beautiful space, and receive care that feels personal every visit.

Expect a clear intake conversation, clean linens, proper draping, and bodywork tailored to your comfort. You can request more or less pressure anytime. Afterward, many clients feel relaxed and more mobile—take it easy as you head back into your day.
