Laura Holthausen, LMT

Licensed Massage Therapist
(they/them)

Laura is a massage therapist with 7 years of experience specializing in helping people reclaim their quality of life through reduced pain, increased mobility, and a deeper sense of ease in their bodies. Their work is especially supportive for clients navigating chronic pain,postural strain, or recovery from injury.

Laura is particularly well-suited for clients who have tried massage before and found it wasn’t specific, deep, or responsive enough to create real change. Their approach bridges targeted muscle work with nervous system awareness, supporting lasting relief without forcing the body past its limits. Laura understands pain as both a muscular and nervous system experience, and believes meaningful change comes from working with both.

With strong, attentive hands and an intuitive, responsive style, Laura creates sessions that are effective in the moment and supportive over time. They draw from a wide toolbox of techniques—including deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, and Swedish massage—to craft highly customized treatments. Laura has a particular love for working with specific, hard-to-reach muscles that often contribute to long-standing pain patterns.

Laura practices with a collaborative, consent-centered approach. Clear communication, and ongoing check-ins are central to every session, and feedback is always welcome. Laura is committed to providing affirming care for queer, trans, and gender-expansive clients, and strives to
create a space where people feel respected, safe, and empowered in their bodies.

Laura’s path to massage therapy is deeply personal. After a severe disc herniation, massage became a lifeline—offering relief so profound
it changed the course of their life. Having lived with persistent pain, Laura understands how vulnerable it can feel to trust someone with your body, and how transformative skilled, respectful care can be. This lived experience continues to shape their work and commitment to helping others feel better, even when pain has felt relentless.

Clients often leave sessions feeling looser, more grounded, and more hopeful about what their bodies are capable of. Laura believes therapeutic touch can interrupt cycles of pain and gently support the body’s own healing processes, with the intention of helping clients feel more at home in their bodies.

Outside the treatment room, Laura brings big cat dad energy, a love of backpacking, and an obsession with alpine lakes—values that show up in their work as steadiness, curiosity, and deep respect for natural rhythms.
