Lauren is a student of the human body and the natural world; she interweaves this knowing into each bodywork session. Listening to the client is the strongest aspect that guides her work as she offers different modalities to release held tension patterns in the body. Lauren’s skill in deep pressure touch facilitates a pleasureful relaxation and flow in the body. On the other end of the spectrum, she practices Craniosacral Therapy a more subtle treatment technique that engages the client’s nervous system to allow for deep myofascial unwinding, cranial bone realignment, and releases blockages from the body. Each session with Lauren is a collaboration with the client to provide their body what it has been asking for.
Lauren studied Massage Therapy, Herbal Medicine, and Craniosacral Therapy at Bastyr University.
Outside of Massage Therapy Lauren currently practices as a Clinical Herbalist which informs her understanding of the human body and elemental imbalances cause dis-ease. She has studied, practiced, and taught Ashtanga, Restorative 8 limb yoga, and meditation for over a decade. Each of these practices support her in showing up to your session with a grounded and joyful presence.
