MEET YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST

Laurie L., LMT

Licensed Massage Therapist · Licensed since 2004

With years of massage experience, I customize each session around what you need that day—whether you’re looking to relax, address specific areas of tension, or combine the two. I especially enjoy focused work on the neck and shoulders while adjusting pressure to your individual preference.

Pressure: Light to Deep

About Laurie

I’ve been a licensed massage therapist since 2004 and enjoy helping clients feel better through massage that’s customized to their individual needs.

I especially enjoy working on the neck and shoulders, whether you’re dealing with everyday tension, want more focused attention in those areas, or simply enjoy having extra time spent there. My pressure can range from light to deep, depending on your preferences and what feels best for you.

Every massage is different, so communication is always welcome. Let me know if you’d like more or less pressure, extra time in a certain area, or anything adjusted to make your massage more comfortable.

Customized to You
