What Erica said is true - Lauren will ruin you forever for other massage practitioners! Even those who are also very good lack her intuition and the wondrous imagination of her spa. She bills insurance effectively and her cash prices are also very reasonable. I've had spells where I've seen her weekly and, now that I live an hour away, spells where I've gone six months without her (heaven forbid! never again!). She has helped me connect with the way emotional crises exist in my body and provided techniques to address them, and she has shown such a depth and breadth of understanding of physiology and that, years later, I find her wisdom echoed in so much of what I hear and see as a fitness instructor and student of yoga. Her spa is my favorite in the world. I've had facials, massage, shiatsu baths, Aqua Chi and Crystal Mud foot soaks, been wrapped in a Chinese infrared blanket, exfoliated with dry brush and amazing sugar scrub from Hawaii, spritzed with rosewater, sprinkled with seaweed, and slathered in avocado. Like, on different occasions. I'll do anything she suggests. It is always sensory magic. read more

I like to think of Lauren Elle as my primary care provider- she heals and maintains my mind, body and soul. At only 26 years old I have experienced several accidents between being in car wrecks as well as being hit by a bus... Needless to say my body needs massage. It took me years of searching but I finally found her! I have searched high and low for a masseuse that can read my body the way that she does. Lauren always uses the exact amount of pressure that I need: not so much that it hurts but enough to feel a difference. She has given me skull massages, aromatherapy, Hot stone massages, shared techniques for self-care, and has mentored me through the last 2 years. I won't see anyone else and luckily, her flexible schedule makes it so I can see her as much as I'd like. She bills insurance and is a preferred provider for Regence which is a HUGE plus. Lauren is a kind and nurturing soul and I am truly lucky to benefit so regularly from her care. read more

Lauren did a wonderful job. She takes the time to listen to her customers I would recommender her to anyone read more

I have known Lauren for many many years. She is a wonderful soul and will treat you like a queen or king. She is a caring and gentle massuese. You will feel like a million bucks leaving her heavenly massage table. And I do mean heavenly. Her massage table has been perfected after many years of trying combinations of pads and fluff. It is truly like lying on a cloud. Her spa is located a great little house with tons of character. read more

Lauren gives a great massage. She can unkink the most kinked out body. She is very intuitive and you'll feel great afterward.

I have known Lauren for more than 20 years as a professional therapist, she worked on me due a assault injury which occurred at my work place. Her intuitive nature, her open personality, her willingness to listen and expand her knowledge makes her the best massage therapist I have ever known! I had to move to NM 15 years ago and when I come back to visit, I ALWAYS get an appointment with her. I have not been able to find a massage therapist who can even come close to Lauren's skills, experience and knowledge! If you have a chance, introduce yourself to Lauren and her amazing massage skills. Do yourself a favor, do your body a favor and make an appointment NOW! read more

Excellent service! She connects with and reads your body's needs as you walk in. She has a "gift" of reading what's good/bad intake for your body. You definitely get that personalized service! read more

I hadn't had a massage since my days as an athlete and I was just looking to relax. I also wanted to do it very last minute. I picked Lauren out of Yelp because I could text her for an appointment as well as the 5 star rating. She was able to accommodate my request of an appointment the next day. When I arrived she helped me fill out my paper work and asked me what type of massage I wanted. I honestly said, "I just want to relax!" I had the most wonderful aromatherapy massage. She went through her various scents trying to find what matched best with my chemistry. I am definitely going to have to try and make this a monthly indulgence. read more

I don't know who the previous reviewers are or who they received a massage from, but let me assure you the massage and overall experience I had with Lauren Elle was of the complete opposite as described by other reviewers. I had the absolute worst massage.. I would give it a negative five stars if that were possible. What a complete waste of my money and time; I practically ran out the door and can assure you I will never look back. You should be comfortable and relaxed when you're receiving massage services. Lauren's music is loud and obnoxious and she is aware of this as she comments on how tired she is of hearing rolling massage music for X amount of years. Isn't the massage about the client? OK. I decided to stick it out and try to overlook the music. Bad idea. Her non-stop talking is more than annoying.. even as I closed my eyes hoping to disengage she continued to go on and on and onnn.. her nonsense topics of conversation were unprofessional to say the least. Her unsolicited advice and "connecting with your body" are unwarranted and just plain creepy. The massage itself.. well, I'm not even sure where to start as it was hard to assess considering all of the other negative distractions. To describe her as "gifted" is a far cry. I do recall as she began she made comment of her cold hands (a comment, not an apology) and indeed they were! She did nothing to warm them up before placing them on my body. The coconut oil she used was pleasant and she offers to add an essential oil which is nice, but that's probably the only compliment I can give. Bad, bad experience here. I wish there were other reviewers out there willing to share their bad experiences.. I am positive there are others. I rely on Yelpsters a lot when trying out new places but I didn't have an account because I never felt so strongly about something. That said, I specifically created a Yelp account to share my experience with Lauren Elle. I have never felt such strong dislike towards a service received as I did when I received my massage here. I promise you, I am not out to hurt anyone's feelings... I just feel like the previous reviewers are completely inaccurate. Perhaps they are relatives or close friends... but take my word for it and spend your money and time elsewhere. I wish someone had warned me! read more

Her massage was better than anything I have ever experienced. I am very active and my legs have been tense for years, I grew accustomed to pain every time I ran, walked long distances, or worked out. I thought it was normal for my shins to hurt and calves to be soar. Lately, I have been jogging 3+ miles a day and it finally got to the point that I was afraid of damaging the muscles, so I booked a massage with Lauren. I told her what was going on and she meticulously, and carefully, kneaded every single muscle, ligament, and tendon. There was absolutely no pain during the entire session and it was very relaxing. The next day I got out of bed and my legs felt like they never have before, I'm nearly 300lbs and felt as if I was light as a feather. The whole day I was practically walking on my tip toes, bouncing around as if I just lost 100lbs. It's been about 5 days and 5 workouts since and I have yet to feel any tension in my legs. My workouts just got 100% easier, I haven't had to stop and stretch out the pain, have been able to maintain perfect form, and not an ounce of soarness afterwards. Lauren is truly a skilled technician with a gentle touch and great bubbly personality. I've had my legs worked on by about 2 dozen others and never had results even close to this. Thank you Lauren! read more
