Be kind to yourself.
Meet Lauren
My career started as a first responder, working ocean rescue on the Outer Banks while going to college for a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I graduated from UNC Greensboro and began exploring my love of photography. After some travel and seasonal work, I obtained my EMT in 2012 and served for some time with with Dare County EMS and as a tech in the emergency department. Ready to give mountain life a try, I moved to western North Carolina and finished out my medical career as a phlebotomist with UNC Health in Boone. Hoping to provide a more holistic approach to health, I moved to Greenville and studied massage therapy at The Carolina School of Massage. Since then, I’ve been growing my knowledge and experience, working both privately and at a local spa.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the sporty and outdoorsy type, barefoot with bruises. Most recently, I played roller derby for almost a decade with the Kill Devil Derby Brigade and Appalachian Roller Derby. Now I love spending my free time in nature, swimming, hiking and climbing. Massage has been highly beneficial to me throughout my years of shift work and extreme sports. By paying more attention to my own health and building a solid self-care routine I have been able to continue doing all the things I love. I hope to use my experience and knowledge by providing those same benefits to you through therapeutic massage.
I’m often asked “How did you get into massage therapy?” For me though, it’s the “why” that matters more – I want to help people take care of themselves, so they can continue doing all the things that make them happy. My goal is to inspire and to provide a holistic and preventative form of self care. Now, as far as how I got here, that journey began years ago with the same desire to help others.
