The treatment room is a place of deep listening, and we work together to ensure the most suited approach.
Each treatment starts with a short consultation, to assess the aims of the treatment. Natural oils are used during the treatment which is carried out on a raised massage table. At the end of the session we discuss a way forward, which may include suggestions for exercises or stretches.
By helping to release tight muscle and connective tissue throughout the body and encouraging a state of deep relaxation in order to activate the body’s own process of self healing, massage addresses many ailments and conditions.
Each treatment focuses on your needs and can be geared towards: relieving back/neck/shoulder tension and pain, loosening up tights muscles and stiff joints, stimulating good circulation, detoxifying the body by increasing lymph circulation thus improving the immune system, soothing headaches, helping with generalised stress, releasing tension, mental/physical/emotional fatigue and improving digestive problems. I draw on a number of techniques including deep tissue release, pressure point work, muscle resistance work, more gentle therapeutic touch, and I increasingly draw on acupressure points (along the meridian channels).
Laura completed her training in Holistic Massage in 2011 at the Beaumont College for Natural Medicine (ITEC3-distinction) and has been practicing ever since in a peaceful treatment room in Easton, Bristol.
She enjoys working with a wide range of clients including dancers, nurses, circus performers, teachers, musicians, those who seek respite from various ailments or who just need a space to soften. She brings two decades of embodied/dance practice to her bodywork.
Her approach to touch and healing is fed by her studies in somatic practices including Body-Mind Centering® (qualified as Somatic Movement Educator in 2018), Tui Na (Body Harmonics Training Centre), and her ongoing studies of Qi gong and the meridian system from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Using a variety of approaches, she tailors each treatment to the the specific needs of each client.

COVID SAFETY:
Please wear a mask. I will wear one throughout the treatment. I will invite you to remove yours when you are lying face down (so that you can breathe!).
Please cancel if you have ANY cold-like symptoms. I will not charge you my 24 hour canceling fee if you cancel as a result of symptoms coming up.
I am spacing out treatments to ensure a minim of 2 hours -and loads of airing- between each treatment.
I run lateral flow tests at least 3 times a week. I would appreciate you do one before coming to see me.
