About Lauren

Lauren Peltz-Miller is a certified Massage Therapist and Registered Yoga Teacher. In 2004 she completed her massage training at South Louisiana Institute of Massage, and received her Yoga Teacher Certification from Reflex Arts in Sarasota in March of 2013. Over the last 11 years, Lauren has worked in a variety of facilities. These include Day Spas, Wellness Centers, Chiropractic offices, and the Healing Arts Department at the world famous Kripalu Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. Additionally, she worked with Physical Therapists at an Orthopedic Spinal Clinic in Sarasota. As a result of her varied and extensive training, Lauren has developed a well-rounded style of bodywork therapies. She believes in using “all the tools in her toolbox” to make each bodywork session as therapeutic as possible, helping her clients to heal themselves though massage and yoga.

The modalities she offers include: A Neuromuscular Certification, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Sports, Swedish, Cranial Sacral, Thai Massage, Reiki and Prenatal Massage. In addition, Lauren incorporates Muscle Energy and Facilitated Stretching Techniques such as “Positional Release” and “Jones Strain Counter Strain” into her bodywork sessions. In her view, no two massages are ever exactly the same. This philosophy allows her to incorporate an ebb and flow to her bodywork practice, always responding to the unique needs of each patient as they arise. Lauren is also a Certified Aromatherapist and frequently uses her therapeutic oil blends to treat the muscular and skin ailments of her patients. She has developed a line of face and body aromatherapy blends called Full Circle Apothecary. They are available to her clients for retail purchase.

Lauren has a love for life and deep passion for the Healing Arts and Yoga Healing. Through her practice, her goal is to make massage and yoga completely accessible to anyone willing to experience their amazing benefits. Lauren doesn’t think of herself a “healer” but rather a facilitator in the healing process.

In addition to being a health practitioner, Lauren has a BFA in Sculpture from Maryland Institute College of Art. Working with her hands makes her feel grounded to the earth, and she still incorporates her creativity and love of design into her daily life. She loves to travel and experience other cultures. One of her favorite and most influential trips was a long adventure in South East Asia in 2006, when she travelled through Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and then to Thailand where she studied Thai Massage in Chang Mai. She also loves hiking, biking and walking her Chocolate Labs, with her husband on sunny Florida days.
