Techniques: deep tissue massage to get down to the deeper structures,

Subtle, yet profound gentle applications such as Craniosacral and Healing Touch, so patients who are too inflamed, injured, or sensitive to tolerate deeper massage have equal opportunity for gains and healing by way of these subtle modalities that are less invasive but at least as effective.

For Craniosacral Therapy, Laura resonates with Biodynamic Craniosacral and finds remarkable results from its application. She draws from being a certified Healing Touch Practitioner to add to the subtle modalities  she uses that have profound results.
