Here is what my clients are saying about me:
Omg I feel great...I am getting the rotation and movement in my arm. Since your massage on Wednesday I have been pain free!!!! (I'm hugging you right now) I feel myself again I'm happy and full of life and energy. This I have not felt in 7 months. Your love for what you do, helping others to improve their health and lifestyle has proven true that you are by far the best at what you do. Thank you for helping me.

By far, Laura is the best massage therapist that I have been to see. She has massaged away my aches and pains especially in my back and neck and has reduced the frequency and intensity of my migraine headaches. Laura is very empathetic and caring and is committed to helping her clients. She is a wonderful therapist and I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the services she offers. I am already handing out her cards to friends, family and other professional personnel.

I am 60 years old and have lived with fibromyalgia and arthritis for 17 years. Medication helped, but pain in my shoulders was always there. I have seen Laura three times over the last six weeks and from the first time, my shoulders have been nearly pain-free. When I talked to my doctor, I was surprised to discover that he highly believed in massage as part of a treatment plan. Thank you, Laura, for giving me back part of my life. I can do so much more now with my grandson and not worry about the next day being full of pain. Laura took the time to learn about my condition and made a plan just for me.

ABOUT ME:
Following 30 years in various corporate roles and successfully overcoming the many challenges of aging, including menopause, weight gain, an overload of stress and all kinds of new little pains in my body, I am uniquely qualified to relate to - and address - the myriad issues facing middle-aged individuals. Certain aches and pains that accompany growing older (and wiser!) are quite common but equally as significant are the increasing side effects of our habitual patterns, life stresses and the fact that we make little-to-no time for ourselves. Massage allows me to bridge the gap between your daily pressures and pains of life to a more healthful, pain-free existence - and it feels good, too!
My clients often come to me with low back or shoulder pain, restrictions in their hip joints, limitations with neck movement, limited range of motion, etc. These can be isolated issues, or perhaps they're coupled with a diagnosis, such as Fibromyalgia and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, among others.
To address these concerns, I am certified and specialize in:
Myofascial Release - quite simply, this technique reduces the restrictions that slowly build up in our tissues and prevent us from moving about freely (can you turn or tilt your neck comfortably to either side?). This is a relatively pain-free type of massage, and results can often be felt immediately.
Neuromuscular Massage - this technique is helpful for pain reduction. Otherwise known as Trigger Point Therapy or Deep Tissue, we go right to the source of your pain to release the points that are causing discomfort. Obviously, this massage can cause some sensation, but you will always have the final say on how deep we go.
Swedish/Relaxation Massage - an overall feel-good and less invasive type of massage which integrates various body systems and helps to create even energy flow throughout the body, mind & spirit.
My Personalized One Hour Massage utilizes all three approaches so they have a positive cumulative effect. See my Services & Rates page for more information on the various services I perform.
