My name is Lauren Martinez and I am a Certified Massage Therapist based in Orange County, California. I graduated from National Holistic Institute in 2014 and have been practicing therapeutic massage for the last ten years at spas, chiropractic offices, events and in-home. During my pregnancy with my son, I was fortunate enough to have a rock star team of midwives, chiropractors, nutritionists and massage therapists in my network. After having my son in 2018, inspired by the team that so lovingly cradled me through pregnancy, I began pursuing birth work. Through my supplemental courses, I became especially passionate about filling the gap during the postpartum transition and decided to dive deeper into postpartum and prenatal massage & bodywork. I have been specializing in both for the last five years and look forward to serving you and your family at The Mama Root studio!
Massage
Our Loss Massage Therapy offers gentle, nurturing touch to support those coping with the loss of a pregnancy by providing a compassionate environment to process grief and find solace. This massage alleviates discomfort such as cramping and tension through gentle massage techniques, supporting healing and renewal.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage is applied using the Vodder method. Light, rhythmic strokes are applied to stimulate lymph flow which reduces swelling, enhances immune function, aids in tissue repair and promotes deep relaxation. **Optional breast massage- While not required, MLD is most effective when we work all lymph pathways. This does include breast tissue. Your written consent and referral from a licensed professional are required for breast massage.
