I see someone else already mentioned Soma Vida in Austin. However, thought I would suggest seeing if you can connect with Laura Shook Guzman, the Founder of Soma Vida. Her set-up differs from your proposed set-up as many of her therapists have their own dedicated offices. However, she does have office space that is shared amongst other members/therapists, who rent the space by the hour.
http://somavida.net/ Laura Shook Guzman is also Co-Founder of Women Who Cowork, which might be the best way to reach her. https://www.womenwhocowork.com/ On Sun, Mar 17, 2019 at 9:10 AM Penny Mechley-Porter < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, Jeannine.
