Lara came to massage as a second career after years behind a desk and has never looked back! As a practitioner, Lara believes that the ideal starting point for addressing musculoskeletal complaints, be they acute, chronic or “just” general tension, is one of attunement with the client. She is interested in the interplay between mental and physical states and enjoys supporting clients by listening to their bodies and then combining clinical and intuitive touch to calm the nervous system.

Lara is a certified Personal Trainer and is passionately committed to strength training as a physically and mentally beneficial undertaking. She can offer insight into injury prevention at the gym and provide a treatment path when injuries do happen.

In addition to Swedish massage - including trigger point and fascial work, passive movement and stretch - she often incorporates cupping, hot stones, and heat into her treatments. Lara is also certified in Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) and Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki, 2nd degree.
