Our Massage Therapists

Laureen Anderson

LMT# 006705

My Background -
Owner of Tiny House Massage

I started my career after graduating from the Atlanta School of Massage in August of 2010.

Since then I have dedicated my massage practice to restoring the homeostatic relationship between our muscles and bones.

I use a combination of assisted stretching and joint decompression techniques to help stop various tension/ pain cycles you may be experiencing. Our body is allowed to be picky, after all our daily lives and positions are interpreted as strange CrossFit, that our bodies are forced to endure. My job is to ensure that your body is listened to, and released from those pesky pains.

I guarantee that you will feel amazing after your session, deep tissue, or relaxation - I have your back!

In addition to my private practice, in 2012, I was recruited by Erika Larson LMT & RT to join a budding field of research massage. She is the lead research massage therapist in the partnership between Emory and the Atlanta School of Massage. We were drafted to design and write a study with Dr. Mark Rapport that would begin to shed a light on the emotional and chemical byproduct of massage with subjects who suffer from General Anxiety Disorder. hasThe study concluded in 2016. A synopsis of the study is below. After the study concluded, I was inspired to learn more about the human body. I was able to achieve my additional coursework at Chamberlain College of Nursing. After two years of Anatomy & Physiology, Applied Kinesiology, Chemistry, Microbiology, and Pharmacology, I felt complete. I ended my education and started to build my own practice!
