I first came to Laurie when I was about seven or eight weeks pregnant. I was having horrible morning sickness... She put my body at such ease - it actually was the best thing next to popsicles! I continued through out the pregnancy and she really took care of me. The sessions are more than just a massage... For me, blocking a regular time (whether weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) was crucial. Her studio was a perfect place to focus on my body and my growing baby inside. I honestly believe that seeing her regularly was preventative to a lot of aches and pains. The most amazing thing (one of) about Laurie is her ability to listen - that mixed with her healing hands that just know exactly where to go at every stage of pregnancy. Towards the end, going to Laurie was something I couldn't wait for - I loved being able to lay on my stomach and relax! Kind of like jumping in a pool and feeling weightless at almost nine months!

I can't recommend Laurie enough - during a time where my body felt vulnerable she put me at perfect ease - she really focusses on being connected with what's going on with the mother's body... and she's so very experienced. She was great with post natal massages too - even helped me with a blocked milk duct that was very painful. I seriously look forward to my next pregnancy with Laurie!

A++++++++++++

PS - Yes, she does fill up but I always just made my appointment in studio before I left my session. There were times when she squeezed me in if I really needed a session - She truly was dedicated to me during my pregnancy and after. Great music and oils too and super clean..
