| - If I could Laura 10 stars, I would! She bent over backwards, not just in my treatment (which was awesome), but also in re-arranging her schedule in order to accommodate me.
I was visiting Las Vegas from SoCal, when a tight back/painful shoulder situation just became too uncomfortable to ignore. It was aching almost constantly - and so stiff I could barely turn to check the blind spot when I was driving. When I awoke on Saturday morning, I knew I had to get help, and reading her reviews on Yelp, it really seemed like she would be the ideal therapist to visit, but I had only small window as she officially opened at 11 and I had to be at a tournament in Summerlin by 2pm.
Taking a complete flyer, I texted her just after 7am (I still have the thread on my phone, and I'm reviewing it to write this review!), thinking that the best case was that she would see it around 10:30 and that I might be able to sneak into the 11am slot if it happened to be open. To my incredible surprise and delight, she responded within minutes. I can't tell you how relived I was to see her text... but my relief was short-lived. The 11am session was booked and the earliest open slot she had was 1:30pm. When I explained my situation and condition, Laura responded by offering to see me at EITHER 10am (if I only wanted an hour) OR 9:30am (if I wanted the 90 minute session). I think I broke iPhone typing records in accepting her offer for the 90 minute session at 9:30! Getting to see her made all the difference on that trip.
The treatment itself was everything I could have hoped for. She used a variety of modalities in order to loosen and relax the knots in my neck and back. I think I got more rest in the 90 minute session than I had gotten in the previous nights of the trip. I could literally feel the muscles loosen as she worked on them.
By the time she was done, there was a significant relief of the existing discomfort and, just as she advised, the condition continued to improve over time to the point where I was able to get in a pretty strenuous workout by Monday evening. It's a week later, and the symptoms have completely abated.
I see the adjectives "amazing", "incredible" and "fantastic" used to describe Laura in other reviews and I have to wholeheartedly agree - not just in her technique but in her sense of compassion and mission to relieve the suffering of others. As far as I'm concerned, she's as much of a must-see attraction when visiting LV as anything on the Strip! I will definitely make it a point to book an appointment the next time that I am back in town.
NOTE: don't go by the map shown in the Yelp app to find her location. If you enter the address into Google maps, it will give you accurate directions to her studio.
