Hi!

I'm Lauren Loparo

I'm a licensed massage therapist and owner of Fort Lauderdale Therapeutic Massage.


I was always in awe of how much relief my body and mind experienced through massage therapy. Having suffered injuries from being an athlete, not having a particularly flexible body, and standing on my feet for hours straight while working as a bartender, massage therapy turned out to be a life changing solution for me. I very soon realized it would always be an integral part of my life.


It became my mission to share with others the gift and experience of relief from chronic pain and stress through massage therapy. After being extensively trained in Traditional Thai Massage during a 2-year apprenticeship, I went on to attend massage therapy school and became a fully licensed massage therapist. Upon graduating, I went on to work with a prestigious Thai massage therapist at a Thai spa where I further increased my skills. In 2015, after deciding there was more for me to give, I took a leap of faith by opening my own Traditional Thai Massage practice. Having my own practice allows me the space to provide the best possible pain and stress relief to my clients through my specialized treatments and protocols.


Since I have opened my practice, I have had the honor of working with so many great clients. I have even had the opportunity to gain a little world travel through my work! When I’m not practicing massage, or teaching Traditional Thai Massage to others, I spend time with my daughter, working out, and trying to figure out how to become the best version of myself. I’m really looking forward to connecting with you!


Hello!



I'm Diana Garcia

I am a highly skilled professional in the field of wellness and beauty. With over two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to the practices of massage therapy and cosmetology. As a licensed Massage Therapist and Cosmetologist, I have acquired extensive knowledge and expertise in these areas.


One of my areas of specialization is in Neuromuscular therapies. Through my deep understanding of the human body, I am able to effectively alleviate pain and promote overall well-being through the application of targeted massage techniques. Whether it's relieving tension in the neck and shoulders or addressing chronic muscle pain, I have successfully helped numerous clients find relief and improve their quality of life.

In addition to my expertise in Neuromuscular therapies, I am also highly trained in Traditional Thai Massage. This ancient healing technique focuses on the manipulation of energy lines and stretching of the body to release tension and restore balance. With this powerful practice, I have been able to help my clients not only relax but also experience profound physical and mental rejuvenation.

Furthermore, I offer anti-aging facials that incorporate innovative techniques such as Gua Sha therapy and microcurrent skin tightening. Gua Sha therapy involves the use of special tools to scrape the skin gently, stimulating blood circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage. Coupled with microcurrent skin tightening, which uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate collagen production, my facials deliver noticeable results in reducing fine lines, firming the skin, and enhancing overall radiance.

In addition to my skills in massage therapy and cosmetology, I am also a certified Reiki practitioner. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that balances and harmonizes the body's energy, promoting deep relaxation and a sense of peace. I have witnessed its transformative effects on my clients, as they experience emotional release, stress reduction, and improved overall well-being.

Lastly, I am proud to serve as an herbal therapy coach. By blending my passion for natural remedies and my in-depth knowledge of herbs, I guide my clients on their journey to holistic wellness. Through personalized consultations, I help individuals identify herbal remedies that can support their specific health goals, such as boosting immunity, improving digestion, or managing stress.

Overall, my vast experience, diverse skill set, and unwavering dedication to promoting well-being make me a trusted professional in the field of massage therapy and cosmetology. Whether you are seeking pain alleviation, stress management, anti-aging treatments, energy balancing, or herbal support, I am committed to providing you with exceptional services to enhance your overall health and beauty.


FAQs

What is Traditional Thai Massage?

Traditional Thai Massage

 

Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient healing massage therapy modality from Thailand.  The massage is performed on a thick mat on the floor or on a platform.  The receiver is fully clothed and no lotions or oils are used.  Thai massage is a combination of acupressure, muscle compression, range of motion, and stretching.  This combination allows the body and mind to relax, open, and restore.

What is the best way to dress for the session?

Please wear something comfortable, loose, or workout style clothes.  Shirts and pants, or shorts are perfect.


*Please no dresses, skirts, or jeans 

How often should I be getting massages?

If you are suffering from chronic pain or stress, and depending on your goals of relief, we recommend once weekly for 4 weeks, and then we reassess your goals.  Once you feel like you're having consistent relief we will reduce your frequency.

What is your cancellation and late policy?

A credit card is required to guarantee your appointment.  Payment can be made with credit card, cash, venmo, zelle, or apple pay.
