This is overdue - I highly recommend you go see Lauren for a treatment, especially if you're looking for EFFECTIVE massage therapy/bodywork!! She solves for the root of your issues, not just the surface stuff.
I've been having chronic shoulder/hip/knee/ankle issues for years that were exacerbated by a recent car crash. In my case, Lauren developed a holistic game-plan to focus on correcting functional & fundamental issues that I've been struggling with. Every session has been iterative, educational, and she really prides herself on solving for your best healthy self. Four or five sessions later - I feel much lighter, more mobile, significantly much less pain, and have since restarted my old running routine without any setbacks!
Also, A+++ for patient care, communication, bedside manner and subject matter expertise. Extremely fair with their time. The beginning of your session doesn't go against the time you booked, its dedicated to a making a proper treatment plan & walking you through it. Very communicative & receptive throughout the session to make sure the pressure is on point & the proper areas are being addressed. Passionate about the craft, she will even whip out textbooks to explain how your muscles/joints are supposed to work together vs whatever nonsense they're doing that's causing pain/stiffness. She even goes the extra mile to recommend specific stretching (or in my case specific YouTube videos) depending on your goals.
Last thing I'll say is they specialize in the ashiatsu technique but they still employ a holistic method to best address your specific issues. Again,...
Read moreLauren is Amazing! She has such a mastery of the human body, particularly when it comes to locating and alleviating pain and tension. I’ve had many of massages over the years. But, in the first few minutes of a massage with Lauren, it becomes very clear that she is an expert.
This was my second massage from Lauren and, just like in my first visit, she quickly identified where my areas of tension were. She even found problem areas that I didn’t even know were problematic. But, as if under her spell, my body just seemed to confess its painful secrets.
This was the most relaxed I had been in a long time. In fact, I may have fallen asleep halfway through the session—it’s hard to tell when you’re so relaxed. This was the perfect way to start off the new year. And, since there is no reason to relegate such happiness and relaxation to only once a year, I’m just going to make Atlanta Muscle Melter a part of my regular schedule—once, maybe twice a month. This is a resolution that my mind and body can appreciate. And I’d recommend this to anyone. Life can be stressful; Lauren...
Read moreI started seeing Lauren a few months ago for 90 minute massages once a month. I LOVE it. I work on my feet, and I run every day. All to say: I'm sore/in some level of pain all the time. Lauren has completely changed that. Of course there was the initial relaxation and feeling better right after the massage, but I have found that there are so many longer term benefits as well. I recover faster from my workouts, I have little to no lower back pain after work now, and I find I'm sleeping better. I started receiving regular sports massages when I was in high school to help mitigate injury, and I have to say that I have seen better results with Atlanta Muscle Melter than any other massage. I've been recommending Lauren to everyone, and have even booked my boyfriend an appointment. Lauren has been so communicative throughout my time, from texting before hand if anything is needed, to calling me days after my massage to see how I'm feeling, and if we need to change something. She also wears a mask and the massage room has good airflow. As a bonus, Lauren has great...
