Lauren is an exceptional massage therapist. I refuse to go anywhere else. She knows the right pressure to use to remove all the knots in my back. I always walk out very relaxed. Look no further if you need a deep tissue massage.

The entire visit exceeded expectations. I went to my appointment for a muscle strain to be taken care of, but left with all my muscles and my posture improved. I’m always seeking a massage therapist with firm pressure and it usually ends up with the wind knocked out of me during sessions, but not this time. Can’t wait to go again for another session!

Phenomenal deep tissue. If you're looking for a great deep tissue teetering on the edge of pain, Lauren is the right masseuse. Great communication, pressure, and ambiance.

I love Lauren, she's good at what she does. She's helped me so much with my lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. She's so kind, always happy and welcoming. Lauren is the only message therapist i trust.

This was by far the best massage I have ever had! Insanely good...I highly, highly recommend Lauren for your next massage. I went in to get relief from severe lower back pain and one day later I am feeling so much better after a week of misery. Lauren is extremely skilled and attentive, and did everything possible to make this an incredible experience. She is also very nice and super accommodating; she made me feel comfortable throughout the session. The only part I did not love is when it was over and I had to go back to regular life. Thanks Lauren and I’ll see you next time!!!

Lauren has done for my shoulder what nobody in the past has been able to do for me. I measure her skill by the results which she has achieved. I have only seen her twice so the results are even more impressive.

Lauren gave me an amazing massage. I’ve had more than 100 in my lifetime and I would rate her in the top spot. She is an expert in her field and has quite a bit of experience. Very strong hands. Great at customer service and making sure that I was happy with the pressure, temperature, etc.

Lauren gave me my first medical massage in my 76 years of life! I have limited flexibility, especially on my right side. I arrived with the usual aches and pains. I walked out one hour later without a hitch in my giddyup. Amazing! Another appointment set up in three weeks. Thanks so much, Lauren!

When Lauren heard of my pain and injury she told me to come in for a massage so she could help. I am SO GLAD I did. Today was the first day in months I commuted home pain-free. She knew exactly what the issue was and how to address it. Thank you Lauren!

She is amazing and truly helped lower my pain level which I have been stuggling with for years. She powered through my toughest areas and was able to give me more flexibility and take care of a pinched nerve. I highly recommend Lauren for anyone who has chronic pain and wants to do something to easy the strain.

The entire experience was professional and tailored to my exact needs. My past experience with this sort of service was not even close to what you get when you work with a licensed professional like Lauren. Her experience and knowledge was apparent within a few moments of starting my 90 minute session. She was able to work out issues with things I have dealt with for years and just accepted as a new way of life for myself. I am literally a new person who is able to sleep with my arms above my head for the first time in years. Can't thank or recommend her enough!

Lauren did exactly what I asked- helped release all of the knots and tension that was in my neck and shoulders. My range of motion instantly improved after one session and I had a wonderful overall sense of relaxation and ease! I plan to make regular ‘check-up’ appointments to keep me on track and pain-free.
