Lauren received her certification in massage therapy from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota in December 2004. With over 700 hours of training, she has experience in many modalities of massage, including Swedish, prenatal, and sports massage. She has been a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals since 2015.

Due to her extensive training in anatomy and physiology, Lauren is especially proficient in trigger point therapy, and has spent much of her career working alongside various health professionals to assist in rehabilitative treatment for a variety of clientele. She is skilled in working with repetitive stress/posture, car accident and work-related injury victims, competitive athletes, and chronic pain sufferers. Her natural sense of intuition as well as many years training as a competitive dancer have honed her understanding of the human body and how it moves, and has added to her knowledge and skill set to provide quality, personalized massages for her clients, as well as education in mindfulness techniques to assist maintaining proper body mechanics and a well-functioning mind/body connection.

Her goal is to help her patients combat the pressures of living in a high-stress society while simultaneously educating them in taking the necessary steps to achieve their health and wellness goals, both short term and long term.

Lauren loves spending her free time with friends and family (and the dogs), taking in movies and the Twin Cities arts/music/theater scene, and finding new and unique disciplines to learn about and become proficient in with the intention of incorporating them into her practice in the future. Her current studies include being a student of yoga, and reiki a.k.a. energy work.
