About Me
“You will reap the benefits of massage if it becomes a regular part of your life!”
My name is Laura, and I’m the owner and massage therapist of Balance Massage. As a graduate from the Denver School of Massage Therapy, therapeutic massage is somewhat of a second career for me. With Masters degrees in counseling & theology, I deeply appreciate the importance of caring for the body, mind and soul.
I believe massage offers quiet space for the mind to relax and renew so that the body can unwind and release tension- this is crucial the health & well-being of the body!
My Massage Philosophy
I understand the realities of chronic tension, injury & dysfunction in the body and the effects that this can have on daily living. Chronic pain is debilitating, injury changes a life overnight and muscle tension creates enormous dysfunction within the body. Our bodies are incredibly adaptive, yet not made to function in imbalance. Massage therapy helps release long-held tension, rehabilitate injury and relieve chronic pain- I’ve seen it ‘work’ 100 times! Muscles that are shortened and chronically tight can be released, and range of motion can be restored allowing you the freedom the live your life free from pain.
My aim as a massage therapist is to provide a blend of relaxation while promoting definitive change in the body- my massage style could be summarized as ‘soothingly therapeutic’. It is so important to take time to allow the mind and body to unwind, which is why my primary aim is to promote relaxation for my clients while working with a clinical eye towards assessing and treating muscular dysfunction. Many times, I work with my eyes closed to allow my mind to focus and interpret what my hands are feeling. Massage offers opportunity to take a deep breath, release stress, and rebalance the body!
Massage is bringing awareness to what is happening in the body and it’s my job to help identify those areas of imbalance and do my best to facilitate restoration to balance. I love longer sessions (90 minutes ) because it allows ample time for clients to fully relax thus allowing me time to access deeper muscle layers as well as providing a full body massage experience.
I started my own practice to create a professional yet personalized environment dedicated to using massage to promote health & well being for clients- using a variety of techniques and modalities. There is no “one size fits most” at Balance Massage- every body is different and each session is customized. I set my schedule so that I’m not rushed from one client to the next, to best meet client’s needs.

Massage Treatments
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. Deep tissue is not necessarily deep pressure, rather takes more time to work from superficial muscles to deeper layers.
Swedish
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Hot Stone
Hot Stone Massage integrates heated basalt stones, and used with oils to sooth, warm, and massage your muscles. It’s almost like a moving heating pad and most clients really enjoy this added touch. This allows your body to relax and release tension and stress.
