I had a lymphatic massage with Laura today and it was fantastic! Laura is kind, friendly, knowledgeable, intuitive and professional. She knows exactly what she's doing. She explained everything to me as we went and she also followed up the after care information via text. Her massage room is a beautiful space with some really great touches of decor. It exudes a vibe of relaxation and safety. I've actually had pains in my legs and joints for a few weeks which, since the massage, have gone. I really cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Laura, and I'll see you soon.

I've had massages all over Australia and overseas, and I can honestly say Laura is the best practitioner I've found. By far. Whether you're after deep remedial work or just need to decompress with a relaxation session, she is a total professional. You won't regret booking in with her.

So happy to have discovered Laura and her services. A very sincere and caring lady. I had a remedial massage and reflexology which was excellent. I appreciated her knowledge and experience in attending to my issues. Will definitely be a regular client from here on. Handy location and great operating hours.

Remedial & Reflexology
I had a relaxation massage with Laura today and felt noticeably lighter and deeply relaxed, with all muscle tension relieved. Even my headache resolved afterwards. The studio is clean, cosy, and modern, and the massage table is very comfortable. I highly recommend Massage by Laura.

Remedial (back pain)
Best remedial massage I've had. I can't believe how free my back feels after one massage — my lower back was in so much trauma, it feels so released. Cannot wait for my next one.

Remedial (lower back)
I was referred to Laura with acute lower back pain. I texted her on a Saturday requesting a same-day appointment and in no time, she called me to find out more and then fitted me in later on the same day. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a warm and lovely young lady whose positive energy was palpable. Throughout my remedial massage, Laura constantly checked in whether the pressure was tolerable. Her training, experience and intuition to go exactly where it is needed is amazing. Laura also gave me great tips to enhance the effects of the treatment and speed up my body's healing process. Within less than 24 hours, I was able to move around with almost no pain, and it only got better over the next few days. If you are in pain and want results, you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Laura!

Remedial (acute lower back)
I have been to have massage treatment with Laura twice now. I have very painful back and neck issues, and Laura really knows how to relieve the pain. You can tell that she genuinely cares about helping her clients, and really knows what she is doing. I highly recommend Laura for a quality treatment. Thank you so much Laura for your amazing help.

Remedial (back & neck)
Very therapeutic massage by Laura. Recovering from an injury, my hips and legs were tight with the tension from overcompensating. Laura focused on key areas to give me the best results and meticulously relieved the tension. So much better than the 'traditional full body' approach. Thank you, Laura.

Remedial (injury recovery)
I had a lymphatic massage with Laura at Runaway Bay and it was such a positive experience. Laura is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and intuitive in her approach. She took the time to explain the process and made me feel completely comfortable and supported throughout the session. I felt lighter, less puffy, and deeply relaxed afterwards. You can really tell Laura understands the lymphatic system and tailors the massage to what your body needs. I left feeling calmer, clearer, and noticeably less congested. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for lymphatic drainage, especially if you struggle with swelling, water retention, or want to support your overall health and recovery.

Remedial (pressure)
I had an absolutely amazing experience at Massage by Laura! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calming and welcoming, and Laura made me feel completely comfortable and cared for. She really took the time to understand my problem areas and tailored the massage perfectly to my needs. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and completely free of the tension I'd been carrying for weeks. Laura's technique is both therapeutic and incredibly soothing — easily one of the best massages I've ever had. The space is clean, peaceful, and professional, making it easy to unwind the moment you arrive. If you're looking for high-quality, personalised massage therapy, I can't recommend Massage by Laura enough. I'll definitely be back and will be telling all my friends!

The remedial massage done by Laura was truly a wonderful surprise. It was the best massage I've ever experienced. It has helped my frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injury enormously. I highly recommend her.

Remedial (frozen shoulder)
This was my second time with Laura and I have been to many therapists around the Gold Coast the last few years, but she is by far the best remedial and relaxation therapist I have been to. She is very professional, knowledgeable and a very good listener for my needs. I would highly recommend Laura! Will book again soon.

A wonderfully relaxing experience. I visited Massage by Laura this morning and was genuinely impressed by the calm atmosphere, the professionalism and quality of the treatment.

Sports Massage
I started seeing Laura for lymphatic drainage massages when I was just 10 days post-op from my surgery, and now at almost 6 weeks, I can honestly say she has been a huge part of my recovery journey. From the moment I walked into her space, I felt safe — it truly feels like a little sanctuary. Laura is incredibly professional, caring, and knowledgeable. She takes the time to tailor every session specifically to what my body needs that day, and consistently goes above and beyond, even providing extra information, guidance, and check-ins via email and text. Her technique has made a noticeable difference: my swelling has reduced significantly, my scars are healing beautifully, and I've felt supported every step of the way. Laura's care has not only helped my body heal but has also given me confidence and comfort during a vulnerable time. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Lymphatic Drainage (post-op)
I had finally decided that I was overdue for a remedial massage, so I searched online where I could get the best massage on the GC. I discovered Massage by Laura and booked an appointment. Laura is a true professional and expert therapist. She knew exactly where my knots and back tension problem areas were and soothed them away. I felt amazing over the next few days. I ordinarily wait too long before booking another massage, but on this occasion I couldn't wait to immediately book my next appointment! Thank you once again Laura. Massage by Laura is highly recommended.

Remedial (knots & tension)
I had the most beautiful lymphatic massage and the experience was truly incredible with Laura. The touch was gentle yet so effective — I could feel the tension and fluid releasing from my body in the softest, most calming way. The whole atmosphere was relaxing, and I walked out feeling lighter, less bloated, and deeply restored. If you're wanting a treatment that supports your wellbeing and helps your body reset, I couldn't recommend this enough.

I have been seeing Laura every month since July for deep tissue massages. Laura has an exceptional technique! Every time I've left an appointment I feel so much better than I walked in — my pain has disappeared and my body relaxed. A very welcoming and soothing space.

Remedial (back & neck)
I had my first remedial massage with Laura and was so impressed! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and really took the time to understand what was going on with my body. The massage itself was fantastic — Laura found all the right spots and worked on the areas that needed it most. I left feeling so much looser and completely relaxed. It's clear she really knows her stuff and genuinely cares about helping people feel better. The whole experience was super positive, and I'll definitely be booking another session soon. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great massage!

Remedial Massage
After 3 weeks of holding stress and tension in my body, I had a 1.5 hour relaxation massage and I truly walked out with no more pain or tightness. Laura was able to work out all of the tight muscles with skill and expertise. I wish I lived on the Gold Coast so I could visit Laura every week! Next time I'm there, I will definitely see her again. Very highly recommended.

Laura is very professional and considerate of the chronic injuries that I have. Amazing pressure throughout the massage. I nearly fell asleep. I would recommend Laura to anyone that wants a great massage. Kind regards Marty.

Remedial (chronic injuries)
I was in a car accident last week and had really bad whiplash so I went in to see Laura to get a remedial massage and walked out feeling so relieved of my pain. She must have such a good understanding of muscle anatomy because my neck and back feel a lot more relaxed and I can move about without tension anymore. Thanks Laura!
