About Laurie (they/them)
I am a queer massage therapist and bodyworker based in Bristol. I specialise in working with clients from diverse backgrounds, particularly with the queer and trans communities, disability, chronic illness, neurodiversity and people with experience of trauma.
I am interested in how the complex relationship with our bodies can be influenced by our intersectional identities and personal histories, and how bodywork can support us in better connecting to and understanding ourselves.
Massage / Bodywork
The style of treatment I offer is rooted in Thai yoga massage techniques and theory, influenced by western remedial practices and trauma-informed somatic practices. It is a fully-clothed, floor-based treatment, performed on a soft futon using blankets, bolsters and cushions to make sure you are comfortable.
I use pressure, stretching and gentle mobilisation techniques through the clothes for most of the body, and oil massage for more sensitive areas such as the neck, head, hands and feet. This style of treatment is very adaptable. It can be very gentle, slow and relaxing or very deep, dynamic and invigorating depending on your preference.
