Working virtually (online and email) was easy. My medical history is fairly complex, but she navigated the details and the options available for my treatment with a thoughtful and thorough approach. Then she ordered the remedies for me and I had them quickly! We're all living in the atmosphere of a Pandemic and have to change the way we connect with our providers. Before I found Lauren I felt concerned about finding a trusted practitioner, but I can happily say that I'm in good hands.

No pills, injections or surgery necessary for relief! Thank you!

I thought to myself when I woke up "Oh boy, I'm not going to sleep tonight at all." Wrong. Had the energy to make myself a nice dinner and for the first time in months slept through the night.. I feel so much better after just one treatment with Lise and will definitely continue seeing her. She definitely knows what shes doing. In addition, calming, clean and inviting environment and I loved the music she played in my room. Slow jazz everything was perfect. I highly recommend this individual. I had seen an acupuncturist in Marin during the 90's for Graves Disease who was also fantastic but I moved away from the area to a much more remote area with no acupuncturist close by and have not see another until yesterday in Placerville. She's wonderful.......

She gave clear instructions on the location, directions, logistics etc. Stephanie is gifted with intuition and has great skills. The massage itself was very comforting. Stephanie used a few different things from her toolbox, asked me a lot if questions about history etc, gave me a number of recommendations. I felt very relaxed after the massage. It's not just a massage, it's intuitive healing. I would highly recommend her and look forward to coming back.

Words cannot begin to describe the mind-blowing amazingness of Stephanie Shrum's therapeutic…read morebodywork & massage practice. She's easily one of the ultimate best, most high ranked bodyworkers in my life... I've received lots of bodywork & massage over the years, and she's either in the top 3 or she's the #1 out of all the massage therapists I've received from. She makes really good massage therapists look like beginners or amateurs. Having said that, she is not who to go to if you want "light & fluffy" massage.. If you want something spa-like and relaxing and sensual - don't go to her. Don't go to her if you want just a nice rubdown w/ some oil. That's not to say her work isn't relaxing and sensual - it is, but her work goes much deeper than that. Go to Stephanie if you want to get really deeply worked. She is a masterful healer, and she works on multiple levels; her work is therapeutic, spiritual, energetic, physical, emotional... I feel that she's extremely psychic and empathic and is able to understand my body better than I am able to myself. There is such a deep experience and journey that I undertake when receiving from her, it's as though she's releasing all my tension, physical pain and emotions all together... And she just sees it, she gets it.. She's so present and so there. Plus she's been doing bodywork & massage for most of her adult life, so she's been trained in every modality - is well practiced and deeply seasoned. She's a master. And she also has some really great "sensual" tricks up her sleeve that are also wonderful.. but her work is relaxing on the deepest level of a therapeutic full body / being adjustment.. Honestly I've never experienced the level of psychic presence & empathic listening from another bodyworker or healer before. she's on a whole other level..... It's like she's an angel, and she's just lovingly clearing everything out..... (ps; what Stephanie said. the sensuality of her work is indeed the music, the aromatherapy & hot towel...)
