Meet Laura

I enjoy being outdoors, being active and living a healthy lifestyle. I have two daughters, one who played softball at the collegiate level. My daughter sustained an injury, which set me on a course which would change my life: massage therapy.

I want to heal people through therapeutic massage and without, or with minimal, prescription.

I received my massage therapy certification in 2017. I’ve performed therapeutic massage techniques to ensure patients feel better than when they arrived. I believe in wellness without prescriptions to manage pain. I offer personalized plans for all patients and always ask questions to find the root of the issue-causing problems.

I received my certification in manual lymph drain (MLD) in 2021 and followed up with MLD for post-op in 2022. The body can begin to heal itself, given the chance. MLD gives the body what it needs to restore back to normal.

Professionalism and personalization are most important to me. I care about every patient who comes to me. I want to nurture all patients back to their best selves.

What I appreciate most is her range of expertise. Laura provides excellent traditional massage, and she is also certified in lymphatic massage, which has been instrumental in supporting my healing and overall wellness. She takes the time to understand what your body needs that day and adjusts her approach with intention and care.

Every session feels thoughtful, calming, and restorative. If you’re looking for a massage therapist who is skilled, attentive, and genuinely invested in your well-being, Laura is wonderful.

The therapist has such a great touch that helps with swelling.  Laura is so knowledgeable about what and how during this process.   Don’t think twice and schedule for your session.
