Laura is a real gem. I felt so comfortable in her studio and stated relaxing as soon as I walked in. She set up a warm foot bath for my feet which immediately helped me to relax. While you relax she goes over any concerns or issues you may have physically which allows her to know how to approach the service. I like a moderate pressure massage to relax and unwind. Laura delivered, not too hard, not too soft. I am ticklish but didn't experience any of that during my massage. I feel that she is a very skilled therapist with all the various aspects of her craft she pulls together to create a very custom experience. I will continue to use her services to help me regroup and unwind. Her studio is comfortable and her location is nice and cozy. read more

Where do I even start?! I feel like I have found the healer I have always dreamed of, but didn't know existed. I have to thank Yelp for helping me track her down, as I am on the hunt for MY masseuse of the desert. New to the area and wanting to try all of the massage places, I think I might have to stop my search after-all! Laura is a magical creature, with smooth, artful, ethereal hands - with the touch of someone who cares, and WANTS to soothe. From the atmosphere (dark, moody, Himalayan Sea salt lamps, beautiful music and lighting) to the array of quality essential oils and just the time and soul she puts into her work- this is an experience you have to partake in! The aromas of natural oils filled the air, mixed with the warmth of herbal pillows and just a great vibe and clear energy make you feel so taken care of in the way we need. I think I must see her weekly! Try the raindrop therapy which mixes I think, 8 essential oils together and in her words, stretches your spine out a good inch or two by the end of the massage! I'll be trying that next time. Note that she does not take debit, so bring cash and do tip her well! The spot is slightly hard to find, as she is in a sort of strip all in her own room- but she explains it all well on the phone so I had no trouble. Give Laura a try, but don't tell anyone else - she's our little secret!! P.S. She soaks your feet at the beginning while she asks about your stresses! A bit of therapy thrown in for good measure ;) read more

Laura's Therapeutic Massage - She's so magical, like your own personal mermaid-healer! Check out the vibe- can't beat Laura! - Massage Near Me - La Quinta, California

Laura has hands of gold. I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful my massage was. Everything was awesome from the foot soak while I was filling out my info sheet to the very relaxing massage. Located in a very cute little studio massage parlor, the vibe is set with mood lighting, nice aromas, cute decorations and nice music. No front desk, no one trying to sign you up for a membership, no one trying to sell you products, just Laura and those golden hands. And for first time customers it's only $35. What a bargon. read more

Went here for a massage as a gift for my birthday. Best swedish massage I have ever had. We had originally bought a groupon, and it was well worth the money. She did a foot soak in the beginning, and the foot massage was heavenly. What I like best about her was that she really cares about her clients. She went over the hour (at no extra charge). The oils/aroma, and atmosphere was perfect. I would definitely go back next time I am in Palm Springs. read more

We used Laura's Therapeutic Massage over the Thanksgiving week. My wife and I both received possibly the best and thorough massages we have ever had. Laura first puts you at easy discussing your general health problems if any and works accordingly. Her studio is small but cozy without feeling you are cramped. It was clean and comfortable. During the massage, the music was very soothing and without discussion. Once finished, we felt very calm and relaxed. She is quite the professional in her trade and we will go again in Christmas. Book ahead as she is the only masseuse that will be giving massages. She takes cash and checks only, but that is not a drawback! Try it! You won't be sorry! read more

I have been trying, since I left her place, to figure out how to put into words the amazing experience I just had with Laura. The massage I just received was, without a doubt, the best massage I've ever had. First, the experience started with a wonderful foot soak and rub as Laura got to know me and why I was there. Her demeanor and easy way immediately put me at ease. I don't know how long she rubbed my feet for, but this was not a quick deal. She explained that the time she took to do the foot soak and rub was not part of my massage time. Normally, you'd expect to hear after that, that the service is 'extra'. It wasn't. The foot rub was part of the whole thing! After relaxing me into a 'sleepy' feeling, Laura left the room while I changed and got under the sheet on the table. Upon re-entering the room, she turned on some beautiful music and started the massage. It was the first time I ever had a massage where I didn't feel like the therapist was going through the motions of good massage therapeutic practice and trying to squeeze a full body massage into an hour. I lost track of time, but I'm pretty sure my massage wasn't just an hour long. Laura not only paid close attention to the spots I told her were bothersome, but she paid attention to any spot she found that I didn't even know about yet! I was so relaxed by the end of the massage, I kept trying to figure out how I was going to drive afterward. (I ended up being just fine driving home, btw ;) ) I truly can't say enough good things about this woman and her wonderfully, gifted talent of massage. In conversing with her afterward, I found out that she's not just a certified massage therapist in CA, but she's also licensed out of Oregon and keeps up with that license. As part of the licensing, she's required to obtain 25 hours of continuing education every two years, so she's constantly learning and passing what she learns onto her clients. At half the price of fancy hotel massages, you get triple the value. I am SO glad I found Laura and I will most certainly be back sooner than later. (If after reading this, you're saying to yourself, "She must be one of those people who love every experience they have!" feel free to read other reviews about other businesses on my page.) read more

LAURA is a wonderfully thoughtful and dedicated therapist. She learns what is needed for your body and adjusts the need to help.

Laura is truly a diamond in the rough when it comes to massage. Great hands, perfect pressure, attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, and the list goes on. I connected with her a couple years ago while vacationing and received one of the best massages ever. Then I tried to see her last year but she was out of town. It was imperative I see her this time and she was so generous to make plenty of time for my specific needs. I have suffered from frozen shoulder and after two massages am feeling quite a bit of relief. I will have my third right before I head home from vacation this week. Spend 90 minutes with Laura...you won't regret a second! Money well spent. Thank you Laura. read more

Laura is awesome...and I frankly hate to tell ya that as she is already soooo busy!!! I am quite fussy when it comes to massage, but both her calm energy and amazing technique make it easy to chill out and drift away to dreamland. I have to drive almost 2 hours to get there, but it's totally worth it!! I generally always plan to have a bite to eat before heading home so I am back to reality and ready for the lonnnnggg drive home! read more

Had a great massage. My neck and shoulders have not felt so good for a long long time. Small room that is just great. Very comfortable. Just starting up but I'm sure Laura will be around for a long time based on the quality of her work. The current $35 first time special is a bargain. Well worth a good tip. I'll be back. read more

Laura is a compassionate, professional and absolutely the best massage therapist we have encountered. She thoroughly understands your medical needs and she LISTENS. There is no timer; it is very evident she loves her profession. Thank you Laura for the most amazing massage we have ever had. We will definitely be telling our friends and using her services time and time again. read more

Laura's absolutely fantastic. I made sure to tell her as specifically as I could, what my problem was, how it made me feel, the pain level, where it radiated to; I really wanted her to focus on my lower back pain and she did not disappoint!! The massage was painful at times but I trusted her 100% and she knew exactly what she was doing. She relieved a lot of stiffness and pressure, and spent a full 60 minutes focusing on my lower back and surrounding muscles. She really seemed to care and was compassionate to my problem. Going back again next week. Thanks Laura! read more

This was the most relaxing massage I have ever had! The sheets were infused with the scent of aromatherapy oils and the dimmed lights add to the effect- I actually fell asleep! I had some areas in my neck and back that been giving me pain for weeks prior to my visit. I didn't tell her about all of them but no matter she found them on her own- yes, Laura is that good!! She defines the term "intuitive massage." You get to enjoy a nice warm foot soak before the start of your session as well. Very reasonably priced for the area too! As far as payment- she only accepts cash/check (no cards). Highly recommend!! read more

Laura did a fantastic job! I'm a hairdresser with back issues and she really knew what to do to get rid of my pain. Her pressure level was exactly what I needed. She has an excellent knowledge of the body and can pinpoint things I didn't know I had. I've seen many massage therapists as of late and she was the best. I would return in a heartbeat if I lived closer. read more

Best massage of my life. She is so good. If I lived closer I would go here every month. Nice lady clean facility easy to find and a great value? read more

I had the most Zen experience with Laura. I can't wait to go back!!! The massage she gave me was unbelieveable!!! She began with a lovely foot soak and foot massage where she asked some general health questions to better understand any issues I might be experiencing. She has such a quiet peaceful approach, you're immediately at ease. Her major concerns were any allergies to aromas or any of the items she uses. I have very sensitive skin and she assured me everything she uses is not reactive whatsoever, and it wasn't. My massage was spectacular!!! I left feeling all noodly and very un-stressed. If you have the opportunity to experience one of Laura's massages - DO IT!!!! You will NOT be disappointed. I can wait to arrange for one for my sister when she comes for a visit. She definitely needs to de-stress. read more

I treated myself to a birthday massage and I'm so glad I found Laura on Yelp. The massage was great! The place is very nice and welcoming. Will definitely be returning. read more

I found Laura on Yelp. I was visiting La Quinta, CA and was looking for a little pampering during our vacation. The Sola Salon was easy to find, her rates are extremity reasonable, and her massage was the best I have had in a very long time! I highly recommend her! read more

Laura's massage is the best I've ever had. She took the time to understand exactly how I needed to be worked on and I left there feeling so much better. She is definitely on my list of "must haves". Well worth the investment. If you live in the Palm Springs area or here for a short period of time, her studio is a must to visit. Make an appointment! read more

By far, one of the BEST massages I have ever had. I've never felt so relaxed and taken care of than I have when I had my massage with Laura. Unfortunately I was only visiting the area, cause I would go back every week If I lived in town for a massage, I really wanted to bring her back to Seattle with me. I just felt like jello when I left, and I'm usually very particular about my massages. BEST prices as well!!! Thank you Laura!!! read more

I had a fantastically experience. Laura did a great job of finding my trouble areas and making them feel a lot better. I look forward to my next massage. read more

This lady knows what she is doing. Her "office" located in the Sola Salons is intentionally decorated to inspire relaxation and professionalism. When you arrive Laura has you first sit on a comfy sofa while she soaks your weary feet in warm sudsy water and massages them. She uses this time to ascertain what areas are of most concern to you - in order to personally tailor your massage. I've noticed that Laura has an arsenal of extremely expensive essential oils that she uses generously and at no extra charge. Now the massage - the BEST MASSAGE ever. Laura has that uncanny ability (that cannot be taught) to find all those nagging, tight, painful and/or tender spots. Massage is firm, but not painful. Deliberate but gentle and soothing. You simply feel utterly spoiled. Please note - I have been a massage therapist for over 30 years. This makes me picky and acutely aware of both proper technique and subtle nuances. Laura rocks her massage!!!! Oh and did I mention that her prices are ridiculously cheap in comparison. I've had so many mediocre and/or terrible massages and spent a fortune to walk away feeling frustrated and still in pain. I've had several massages with Laura to date and always feel in less pain, relaxed and exhilarated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more
