I have been a longtime private yoga student with Lara Ward and have been anxiously awaiting the launch of her massage service. I have had massages fairly regularly all over the world, in hotels, spas and, through recommendations, in private session with experienced practitioners. I had one of my top three massages ever with Lara last weekend. It was the perfect blend of muscle work and firm but gentle massage with the result that I was completely invigorated and utterly relaxed at the end of my session. Lara’s knowledge of the anatomy generally and especially muscles and joints from her many years as a yoga trainer and teacher clearly distinguished her work from any other massage I have ever experienced. I highly recommend Lara for both yoga instruction and massage. Besides her excellent work, she is friendly and professional. My massage with Lara Wardwas easily a 5 star experience.
