Testimonials

"Following a near fatal biking accident, Lauren played a key role in rebuilding my mobility and fitness as well as addressing physical imbalances created by specific focus on many years of training to win bike races. She taught with both discipline and intensity as well as with the gentleness and compassion that an injured athlete needs to work from a base of diminished capacity"     Brian R.  - NY

"Lauren has a true commitment to Classical Pilates. Her instruction is clear, supportive and purposeful. Lauren helped me access muscles I never realized I had. Every session challenges me safely, which is the essence and genius of Pilates!"     Sarah G. -  NY

"Lauren has a keen eye for observing weakness. A few years ago, I had a cerebral bleed and was left paralyzed of my left side. After much hard work through Physical Therapy, Pilates and Massage Therapy my muscles have improved. Lauren listened and worked closely with me and has individualized my workouts to strenthen the areas of weakness. She has also helped me design a home care routine to help reinforce the work that we do together at the studio. Lauren is well trained, personable and an absolute pleasure to work with."     Carol Ann  K. - Greenwich, CT

"In November of 2009, my mother was diagnosed with ALS. It had left her bedridden for the final fifteen months of her life, leaving her vulnerable to obvious physical and mental discomfort. Lauren's impact on alleviating this pain was absolutely astounding. During the last 8 months of my mother's life, Lauren came twice a week to provide Massage Therapy sessions. Not only did she work very hard to create a personal bond with her, but the calm and relaxed atmosphere she created, along the massage itself, greatly impacted her overall health and well being. We as a family looked forward to Lauren's arrival each week and we noticed a significant decrease in my mother's physical and psychological discomfort. If it hadn't been for Lauren, my mother's last few months on this earth would have been certainly more painful, more stressful, and definitely less enjoyable. Lauren is an outstanding Massage Therapist and an even better person. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for increased physical comfort and overall piece of mind."     Ryan M. - Beacon Falls, CT

"If you ever saw me walk into the Pilates studio, you might wonder why I was there since I was using a walker. Pilates...Walker...wrong turn? Not one bit! I was there to work with Lauren, a kind and talented instructor who understands that Pilates offers something extraordinarily special to someone physically challenged. She gently used her deep knowledge and great skills to help me re-establish the crucial communication between my muscles and my brain that had been damaged as a result of a brain injury. Lauren helped me through my rehabilitation process as we worked diligently together each week. With each session I felt challenged, but I also felt safe in a "Can Do Zone". Lauren has joined me on my rehab journey, as one of my most treasured companions."     Betsy B. - NY

"Living with chronic Lyme disease can be a daily challenge. Thanks to Lauren, my days have become more manageable through her massages. Her professionalism and "tuned-in" understanding to my specific needs are so refreshing and comforting. My days are less painful and I feel increased mobility in my joints. The stresses of this chronic disease are being relased in a positive, nurturing way. Lauren is the most non - judgemental person I have ever met, and my regular massage sessions with her have been such a soothing and relaxing joy to experience. I attribute my better health to her and encourage anyone seeking the desire to feel better to explore with benefits of Massage Therapy with Lauren."     Linda B. RN - Oxford, CT

"Both my husband and I have been clients of Lauren's for several years. She is very professional and diligent in her work. She strives not only to improve her clients aches and pains, but is also knowledgeable about nutrition, stretching techniques and many exercises to help each client achieve their goals much faster. We both wholehearedly agree that Lauren's expertise with Massage and with the home care regime she planned for my husband significantly decreased his pain and symptoms after a neck surgery by at least 75%. Thank You Lauren!"     Susanne S. - Shelton, CT
