Laura has spent a lifetime helping others.  From behind a concierge desk, in a backstage dressing room, inside the weekly planner of a top executive or the nursery in a mansion, no matter the venue, being of service has always been a priority.

Massage therapy has always been a part of her health regimen.  She fell in love with a massage therapist.  So, it seemed a natural progression that she would find her way to massage school and end up helping others in this way.

Laura found her passion for Hawaiian Lomilomi while attending the Maui Academy of Healing Arts.  It was the long flowing heel-to-head strokes of Temple Lomi that caught her attention.  Drawn to the work, she sought out the best teacher and became a student of Maka’ala Yates D.C., a native Hawaiian, whose approach to lomi lomi is more clinical, efficient and exact.

Laura has continually added to her knowledge of Lomilomi, turning to her husband, Nico, a highly skilled therapist, for problem solving and all the lomi insight one could ask for.

Strong, capable, confident and nurturing are all words that describe Laura’s work.  She has the ability to intuitively read her clients and provide the best work possible in that moment.  Highly requested in all massage environments in which she works, Laura is well received by everyone.

Laura has worked in two of Maui's top hotel spas but prefers the relaxed atmosphere of outcall massage and her own personal clients.  She brings five star spa treatments to you.

Laura resides in the Wailea area with her husband Nico and two cats, Rama and Sita.
