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.

Working with Laura has been another incredibly important part of my healing journey. She is deeply intuitive and truly listens, not just to what you say, but to what your body is communicating. 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.

Massage therapy with Laura has been relaxing and effective for the swelling and pain I have had following knee replacement and hip replacement surgeries. It has truly been a game changer! I highly recommend massage therapy with Laura from A Touch of Class Wellness & Recovery!

After surgery Laura did a series of lymphatic massages which helped tremendously with swelling. She made me feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her services.

Laura is amazing! I could have laid there for hours. I expressed areas of concern and she focused on that area and more. I will definitely be back! Schedule an appointment… you won’t regret it!

Laura is THE BEST at helping my body heal from multiple surgeries and any kind of tension. Her room is calm and she doesn't use a lot of overpowering scents. I enjoy our conversations and being able to relax.

What an amazing experience. I had no idea what to expect. My doctor highly recommended her and now I know why. 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.
