Laura has experience working with car accident victims, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and clients dealing with chronic pain issues. She works with clients of all ages, including teenagers, children, and infants.

Laura's true passion is with infant massage and teaching parents how to give their own infants massages for a lifetime of good health. She has realized that teaching parents to massage their children may be the best way to replicate herself, eventually allowing everyone to have access to daily massage in their lives.

Laura believes positive, nurturing touch is the most important gift family members can give to one another. A number of important elements help form the bond between parent and child. These include skin-to-skin contact, facial expressions, soothing sounds, cuddling, and smell. Infant massage incorporates these critical elements of bonding and provides a special time that fosters mutual love, compassion and respect. Massage for Babies helps relieve colic, improves blood circulation and digestion, helps baby sleep better, and stimulates brain development and sensory awareness, helping baby meet developmental milestones.

Love Your Baby Massage Class is a great experience for first time mothers and fathers, grandparents, adopted parents or foster parents, and caregivers looking for a special bonding experience for the second or third child. In fact, if baby has older siblings, they are encouraged to come to class too, so that big sister or brother can learn how to massage baby as well. This class has a focus on enhancing relationships within the family while you are celebrating the new addition! You can read more about infant massage at http://www.infantmassageusa.org/
