Our deep bodywork method focuses on releasing chronic tension and realigning the body through the fascia tissue. Say goodbye to pain and hello to a more balanced, aligned, and rejuvenated you.
Ashiatsu, sometimes referred to as "barefoot massage," is a unique and highly effective massage technique that involves the therapist using their feet to deliver deep, broad, and consistent pressure. Lauren's expertise in Ashiatsu allows her to provide a therapeutic experience for her clients, helping them to relieve tension, reduce chronic pain, and improve overall well-being.
Lauren works closely with her clients to develop customized massage sessions that address their specific concerns, whether it be reducing muscle tension, alleviating chronic pain, or promoting relaxation and stress relief. Lauren's attentive and empathetic approach ensures that each client receives the care and attention they deserve, resulting in a truly therapeutic experience.
Weaving My Expertise in Anatomy into Every Massage Experience
My profound fascination and love for anatomy and the body led me to choose massage therapy as a means to deepen my understanding. This passion fuels my mission to help my clients solve puzzles about their bodies and overcome challenges they once believed they had to endure. By working together, we navigate the intricacies of the body, empowering each individual to unlock their full potential for health and well-being.

ABOUT
Hello, I'm Lauren Williams
A Passionate Massage Therapist, Anatomy Nerd and Yoga Teacher
I have been enthusiastically practicing massage and bodywork for 8 years. After completing my yoga teacher training, a desire to learn more about the body directed me toward massage and manual therapies. As a self-proclaimed anatomy nerd, figuring out why people are in pain and helping them get out of it is my favorite puzzle to solve. My continuing education in trauma-informed energy work blends the best of both worlds.
I specialize in Structural Integration Method of Dr. Ida P. Rolf and I am always striving to learn more to advance my practice and reach as many people as possible.
SIGNATURE OFFERING
This technique involves a series of ten sessions, each designed to systematically address different parts of the body to improve posture, enhance movement, and relieve chronic pain. By releasing tension and restrictions in the fascia, Structural Integration helps to restore the body's natural alignment and vitality, promoting overall well-being and physical efficiency.
I cannot adequately express the sense of physical and mental well being I experience from receiving monthly massages.
In December 2022, I was able to continue monthly massage sessions with Lauren after a two and half year interval due to Covid. I shouldn’t be since I am fully aware of the mental as well as physical health benefits of receiving a massage, but I am still amazed at the change in my mental state during the massage. I always ask for a full body deep tissue massage and feel so relaxed both mentally and physically after each session. The experience relaxes my muscles and recenters and refocuses my thoughts and I feel like a new person. Sometimes, I think I would only need a certain part of my body to address a certain pain, but I have found everything is connected. Especially on the days when I arrive for my massage irritated from a difficult work day, I cannot remember what was bugging me when I arrived or I can calmly think of the irritant and focus on a construction solution going forward. I cannot adequately express the sense of physical and mental well being I experience from receiving monthly massages. Try it and see for yourself.

This is not just a job for Lauren. She genuinely wants to help people improve their lives and is sincerely empathetic to the needs of her clients. Her work has been immensely beneficial to my life."
I’ve had serious spinal issues for over 20 years, including a fusion over 10 years ago, which has caused me to see many massage therapists. I’ve never had a go-to therapist before Lauren. However, I haven’t gone to anyone else in the last few years since she started working on me.
Lauren is a great combination of professional, talented, and intuitive. She works hard to cultivate her craft. She’s consistently curious about human anatomy and how to improve her knowledge and skills as a therapist.
