About Cameron

Cameron Babberney is a reader, thinker and art lover who believes the world is a nurturing place.

She revels in the symbiotic relationship between mind, heart, soul and body. She loves beautiful language, a cold swim and a warm cookie. Once, when life felt too hard and confusing and she needed to get out of her head and into her body, she traveled to Nicaragua to help the Sandinistas pick coffee and lived for most of a month on tortillas and beans.

A Vassar graduate studying at UT's LBJ School for a master's in Public Health Policy, she changed course into massage and aromatherapy.

"Can you believe I would be sitting in some cubicle somewhere in Atlanta?" she says, still incredulous at how, instead, she landed in her bliss in Austin, Texas.

In 1995 she became a licensed massage therapist in Texas (MT011397) and opened her practice. In 1996 was internationally certified by the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy.

Starting in 2003, for two years she worked with the opening staff of the Crossings Spa and Wellness Center, now Travaasa Austin. It was a wonderful education among inspiring people in an idyllic setting that taught her to treasure the individual attention and privacy she offers in her private practice.

In October 2009, Cameron was certified in Zero Balancing by its founder Fritz Smith, MD. Zero Balancing, as faculty Mary Murphy describes it, "helps us meet ourselves from the inside out, get grounded, and get on with life with greater ease." Cameron has discovered remarkable results with ZB. In 2013, under the guidance of David Lauterstein, she co-founded the ZBATX study group for Austin-area ZB students and occasionally serves as a TA in ZB classes.

In June 2014, Cameron completed a 102-hour course on Orthopedic massage vastly enhancing her understanding of soft tissue pain and injury and the use of massage in their treatment.

Cameron's practice is in her newly remodeled home in the North Central Austin neighborhood of Brentwood. The setting promotes a private healing experience: beautiful, serene, welcoming.

Working from a pallet of 100 essential oils, she creates an aromatherapy oil unique to your session. She loves what she does: using aromatherapy and the olfactory sense to intensify the power of skilled touch; finding just the right technique or combination of techniques, whether massage or ZB, to engage the flow of energy, relaxation and clarity.

In fact, she often finds working with clients—finding tension and releasing it—almost as therapeutic as they do themselves.

Cameron Babberney found her bliss; now her great joy is helping other people find theirs.
