She knows me very well and can zero in on the parts of my body that are crying for help.

Anna is knowledgable, inspired, and easy to communicate with ... my body, mind, and soul felt better for receiving her touch. Structural balancing along with Esalen soothe and the magic of cups is a fabulous blend. If I lived in NC I'd be on her books once a month for sure (if I could get in :)).

I have had Annebritt perform massages both at my home as well as at her new wellness center, and personally I prefer her wellness center which has the newest and greatest massage therapy equipment that makes the entire experience amazing (e.g. heated massage table, heated cups, oils, etc.).

super intuned to my body and what it needs for maximum benefit, amazed at her wealth of knowledge. do wish she did more detailed deep tissue in trouble areas, at times feels like she is just skimming the surface on multiple areas

She was extremely professional and very attentive to my needs. She made sure to ask me what I wanted to focus on and and made sure that I came out of the session feeling 100% better than when I went in. She really puts the THERAPEUTIC in massage!

I felt very comfortable and trusting of her ability to release and move the fluid that had stagnated. She was very informative as to what she was going to do, and boy, did she do it well. I felt I was in the presence of a very skilled and knowledgeable professional with experience in this field of massage therapy.

After I sustained a crippling soft-tissue foot injury, Lauren has skillfully and patiently restored my feet and lower legs to normal function, and she also considers the entirety of my physical state in addressing our ongoing work. I signed up for the 2x/month membership and seeing Lauren regularly has been the difference between struggling while slowly losing ground, or getting out and doing fun things on a regular basis. Plus she's funny!

Lauren is incredible! I have booked with her several times, she is attentive, kind and really good at identifying where my body needs balancing. I have asked her for deep tissue and relaxation work and she is equally good at both. Genius with the cups and gua sha tools also, really helped to relieve pain. I highly recommend her!

Johnny is highly skilled and gave a thorough massage, targeting sore spots on my neck, low back and legs. He used Graston technique and cupping to enhance the manual therapy. I highly recommend him. I felt much lighter and looser after the massage. I have a chronic knee problem and I had better range of motion afterwards.

Mary Kate was very professional and was able to connect with me as a person. The reiki session literally had me in tears and the massage itself placed me into a very relaxed state. She gave me chocolate and lemon water afterwards and wished me a wonderful day! Will definitely be booking with her again!

Mary Kate is one of those therapists that you want to have an ongoing relationship. She really does holistic in the sense that she looks at your energy and your body's physical state while also being able to adapt to your preferences for what kind of experience you want to have. I've already recommended her to all my friends!

I loved Mary Kate’s personality out of the gate. Often I struggle to voice my likes and dislikes during a massage, but I felt completely comfortable saying the few comments I had. Mary Kate really worked out some of my deep knots and was able to relieve stress in areas where lighter pressure was needed. She is communicative, but not overly conversational. Really enjoyed her work! Will be back ASAP!

Great atmosphere and location close to but not right in the congested part of downtown with available parking. Very relaxing and professional, but not corporate spa at all thankfully! The whole Victorian era building is filled with massage offices so it is a really cozy space. I have received work from all the therapists on staff at Lighten Up and they are ALL excellent!

I highly recommend Annebritt to anyone seeking to restore optimal body alignment and posture, alleviate body aches and pains, and release myo-facial tension. Annebritt is definitely not your average "massage therapist". Her vast knowledge of how the body functions, moves and integrates as a system is unsurpassed. She is brilliant at listening and observing what each individual client is in need of in order to work towards wellness.

I would tell a friend that Annebritt is a a bright and talented therapist. Specifically, I would say that she is someone you can schedule for a luxurious "treat" massage or someone that you can schedule if you need advice and treatment for a muscle problem or injury. I have visited her for both types of treatment and will happily visit again.

Anna is a very skilled knowledgeable massage therapist. I have had neck issues that took me to a chiropractor for 25 years and now I hardly need to see one. With the combination of fascia release and trigger points relaxation. She is very compassionate and caring, I highly recommend her.

She is fully committed to finding just what works for each persons body to give them to best experience and pain relief possible. She is kind and caring and extremely professional.
