About Laura

I’m an Asheville native, graduate of UNC-Asheville, and an avid nature lover, swimmer, hiker, and traveler.

My journey to a career in Massage Therapy began with my own health challenges while living abroad in my early twenties. Prioritizing my health, at the time, meant coming back home to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and starting work in the holistic healthcare field as an Acupuncturist’s assistant at a TCM Acupuncture Clinic. Under the tutelage of seven different practitioners, over three years, I learned many invaluable skills, including the traditional Chinese healing modalities of fire cupping and gua sha. This work also validated my passion for massage and healing touch.

I later worked at the Center for Massage student clinic, where witnessing students’ personal transformation and growth ultimately inspired me to pursue and develop my own practice. In 2015, I completed a 675-hour Massage Therapy program at the Asheville School of Massage & Yoga. In 2018 I traveled to Southeast Asia to experience the ancient bodywork styles of Thailand and Indonesia.

Since starting my massage practice I have worked in a variety of massage settings and quickly branched out to include Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy services after studying under Leslie Bonner L.M.B.T. & N.D.

I find fulfillment in providing relief via bodywork as well as continuously learning and evolving in the field of therapeutic touch. It brings me joy to offer my services to my community while creating a space where people can heal themselves and find support. Massage makes life better. Unwind and thrive.

All are welcome.
