HI, I'M LAURA!
MY MISSION IS TO EMPOWER YOU TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
AND LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST - PAIN FREE!
Don't let the name, The Fascia Pro mislead you! As long as we are breathing, our learning will continue. I just happen to be a bit passionate about the human body, & how it works! My journey began over 30 years ago as I struggled with my own emotional imbalances and physical challenges, living a life of extreme highs and lows . I began at an early age playing multiple sports, lifting weights, & having an unhealthy relationship with with food. As injuries became a normal occurrence and I was ready to give up, the world of natural healing & yoga was introduced into my life.
25 years old, & at my rock bottom...Overweight, depressed, chronic back & hip pain, divorced with 3 babies and exhausted with the circus of western medicine,
took a friends advice and had my first massage.
2 days later I quit my job, began massage school, and found my gift...
I love bodywork more now than I did over 20 years ago!
I began my career working in collegiate sports while I was completing massage school. As an 8x Ironman athlete myself, I had a passion to help athletes heal injuries & teach recovery / self-care workshops to teams around the country. Upon graduation from Advanced Massage Therapeutics, I opened a therapeutic massage clinic, started traveling with sports teams, & volunteering at every sporting event I could. I never dreamed I would soon travel to the olympics and work with professional athletes, let alone own & operate a multimillion dollar business!
So many experiences have grown me into the respected business woman & wellness professional I am today. Over the years I have blessed to help guide thousands of people to live their best life by healing their body & empowering their mind through hands on touch, & wellness coaching using neuroscience based programs.
Whether it's improving sports performance, managing a business, or finding balance in life - the change begins with YOU.

What People Say....
"LIFE-CHANGING". That is how I would describe the impact that Laura and her expertise in bodywork & pain reduction has had on my life. Prior to her care, i was told i needed back surgery and that my nerve pain would not diminish, but with her help I am almost pain free and back to performing daily activities and workouts at a high level... with no surgery or medication!"
