about lauren

Origins

I originally started my education wanting to know how the world works, hence why I have BA in Political Science. After travelling the world, I realized that what is happening inside us is much more interesting to me. Being an RMT allows me to continue to discover how our bodies function and to help my clients thrive.

How I Help

I love helping my clients feel more comfortable in their bodies, heal faster, sleep better and move easier with confidence. I create a safe and body-positive space for my clients that ensures they are fully supported and valued. I work from a trauma-informed approach that empowers clients to find moments of healing through touch, breathing, and body awareness education. I can help with various issues and have a special passion for cancer recovery, anxiety/depression, stress, headaches, whiplash, back pain, frozen shoulder, TMJ issues, pregnancy and postpartum, and chronic pain. I use a number of massage techniques in my work including deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and joint mobilization.

Why I Love What I Do

Healing the world is my purpose in life. Of course, we need to start with ourselves. Healing from any life stress is a combination of effort and pauses. It’s not linear. After my cancer journey I felt weak. To cultivate positive strength, I practice acts of kindness, joy, and peace and massage is my way of sharing it with others. Massage therapy also fulfills the science nerd part of me that loves learning about physiology, cell biology, anatomy and new research on healing.
