Hi, I'm Laura!

Originally from North Carolina, I made Southern Oregon my home in 2017. A few years later, I decided to follow a new path and returned to school at Rogue Community College, where I began my journey into massage therapy.

After becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist, I gained valuable hands on experience working in chiropractic clinics. Along the way, I discovered that my passion for bodywork went beyond traditional massage. I became increasingly interested in the connection between physical tension, stress, and the nervous system, which inspired me to pursue specialized training in somatic myofascial release and craniosacral therapy.

I believe every body has its own story, and meaningful bodywork begins with listening. My approach blends professional training with gentle, intuitive touch, allowing each session to be guided by your individual needs and how your body responds.

Assuage Massage is more than a business to me, it's a passion I'm excited to nurture and grow. My vision is to create a peaceful, welcoming space where people feel safe, heard, and genuinely cared for. Through compassionate, intentional bodywork, I hope to help people reconnect with themselves, feel more present and at home in their bodies, and rediscover a sense of comfort and well being.

I look forward to growing Assuage into a place where people can slow down, be listened to, and receive the care they deserve.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of your journey toward feeling more like yourself again.
