  Laurie Findlay, LMT, NMT 

In 1996 Laurie graduated from New Life Institute in Atlanta (now Rising Spirit Institute of Natural Health) where she received certification in massage therapy and also neuromuscular therapy (NMT).

Ever since her introduction to NMT, also known as trigger point therapy, she has often found the work to be highly effective in relieving muscular pain, especially when trigger points have developed in the muscles.  She is ever indebted to the pioneering work of Dr. Janet Travell, who was JFK's physician, and Dr. David Simons.  Together they located and charted the common trigger points that can develop in muscles, along with their pain referral patterns, and also discovered ways to release the trigger points.  Regrettably their exhaustive research has not yet been embraced by the medical community, but what they share in their extensive two volumes, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction The Trigger Point Manuals , is invaluable. In addition Clair Davies' exceptional Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, which is based on their manuals, makes their work more readable and accessible to everyone and helps us easily locate and treat our own trigger points.

Often her sessions are an interweaving of Swedish massage, which is a relaxing massage,  and NMT, if deeper, more specific work is needed and wanted.

 Laurie is also a pregnancy massage therapist and was certified in 1998 by Carole Osborne-Sheets.  Not only is pregnancy massage extremely beneficial  for the pregnant woman but it also helps deliver more blood, oxygen and nutrients to the baby in the womb.  Please note, however, that pregnant women  need approval for massage from their healthcare provider.

 In addition, a great many of her regular clients are seniors.  Since 1998 she has been offering massage therapy at Life Enrichment, which has now become  a part of Dekalb Co. Parks and Recreation.
