Laura Briggs Therapeutic Massage & Wellness

Laura Briggs Therapeutic Massage & Wellness This practice provides individualized therapeutic care for long-standing pain and mobility challenges. Growing food has always been a part of my life.

Sessions allow the time, depth, and pace needed for the body to respond and change. I’m a Kriya Massage Therapist, Master Herbalist, and Holistic Health Practitioner. I am also an avid gardener, passionate home chef, and dedicated to nurturing health and wellness. As I sought healthier alternatives for my young family, I naturally gravitated towards learning about herbs. This passion led me to complete a Master Herbalist program in 2006, followed by a Holistic Health Practitioner program in 2008 at the Global College of Natural Medicine, where I studied nutrition, herbal healing, aromatherapy, and other alternative modalities for whole health. Today, I not only grow our food but also cultivate and wild harvest over 100 types of herbs, focusing on immune support, wound care, and culinary uses. I spend almost as much time in my kitchen as in my gardens. In 2020, I built a raised bed kitchen garden with a hoop house to extend the growing season, making it easy to add freshly cut herbs to whatever I’m cooking. I’ve also started a cottage garden for vegetables and some fruit, and my next project is creating a protected space for new fruit trees and bushes that are safe from wildlife. In 2009, while working as a receptionist at DoveStar Institute, I was exposed to various classes, including massage therapy. It began with just three Kriya Massage classes, but the more I learned and experienced massage, the more passionate I became about it. I was amazed by the difference I felt in my own body and the relief from the aches and pains I had grown accustomed to. This inspired me to continue a path where I could help others achieve that same level of healing. Since acquiring my massage license, I have continued my education by focusing on releasing muscles deep within the body, working with fascia, and finding ways to alleviate chronic pain and improve overall mobility. I am dedicated to facilitating the innate healing ability of each of my clients and plan to continue learning advanced techniques to perpetuate that process. My mission is to help improve my clients’ health and enhance their overall well-being.

Our muscles, bones and organs are held together by a network of tissue that influences our every move. Is there a way we can use it to our advantage?

“What am I doing that makes my hip hurt so much?”
“Why aren’t my trouble spots getting better — even with regular massage?”
“I didn’t know massage could help with things like sciatica, whiplash, or frozen shoulder.”
I hear questions like these from clients every week — and if you’ve wondered the same, you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why I created the Rooted in Wellness blog — to answer real questions with real insight. I write about common patterns, explain what might be happening beneath the surface, and offer ways to start feeling better — beyond the massage table.
Have you checked it out yet? You might find the answer you’ve been looking for.
The 🔗 for each of these articles listed is in the comments. Check them out. Let me know what you think, or if there’s something you’d like to see me address.

A recent craniosacral therapy course deepened my appreciation for how the body responds to gentle, intentional work. Sometimes the lightest touch invites the deepest release, restoring balance, calm, and connection in ways that still amaze me. This gentle work continues to show how powerful the body’s natural ability to realign itself can be.

I am excited as I integrate this into my bodywork sessions!

A recent craniosacral therapy course reminded me that the body doesn’t always need force to change. Sometimes the lightest touch can create the deepest shift, restoring balance, calm, and connection.
