Welcome to my website. My name is Laura; I am a certified and licensed massage therapist, specializing in therapeutic and deep tissue massage.

 I am located in the beautiful Commons at Union Ranch in Manteca, CA. The Commons is an independent and assisted living facility set in a hotel atmosphere. By request, massage therapy is now available to the public. On your first visit, I will greet you at the front desk where you sign in.  Sessions are available by appointment only. To schedule please call 209-840-3841 or email me at Laura@TheLavenderBlossom.com  . Also, feel free to call or email with any questions or concerns you may have.

I do not do a routine massage that is the same on every client. I customize your massage to your needs.  We will have open communication before your session about any problem areas you may have. I will focus on the areas of your concern, and will modify pressure according to your request. I encourage you to keep me informed of tender areas or if there is any discomfort.  In many cases it is normal to be sore a day or two after therapeutic or deep tissue work.  If relaxation is your only goal, or if it is your first time receiving a professional massage, I would recommend you request Swedish instead of a therapeutic massage.

Most clients prefer a medium to firm pressure on limbs, with a deeper pressure on back and shoulders. I do not charge more for deep tissue, nor do I charge more for the pure essential oils (aromatherapy) that I use during most massages.  I also may use some hot stones to loosen tight muscles or warm bamboo for a firmer pressure.  I have an ADA(American Disability Act) approved fully adjustable, electric lift massage therapy table to accommodate clients in wheelchairs, who are pregnant  or who may otherwise have a difficult time getting onto a standard massage table. The room is climate controlled with its own overhead heating and air conditioning unit, as well as an electric fleece bed warmer to insure your personal comfort is met.
