LAURA WILLIAMSON BIGGS
I’m Laura. 20 years ago I trained at The Place; London Contemporary Dance School gaining a BA (hons) degree. As well as extensive training to become a professional dancer I learned bodywork, injury recovery, body conditioning, anatomy, physiology and biology throughout my training. I then went on to qualify as an holistic massage practitioner 15 years ago; training in myofascial release, sports massage therapy, deep tissue massage, pregnancy massage and reiki. Working as a dancer, movement director and massage therapist for over 15 years now means I have a deep understanding of the physiology of the human body and its integral connection to the mind and spirit. I use all of my knowledge, experience and intuition to treat each person individually.
A typical massage or reiki treatment with me begins with a friendly chat, where we discuss your reason for seeking treatment. From there, I focus on balancing energy, releasing tension and alleviating pain; ultimately creating a space for healing, relaxation and rejuvenation.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss anything beforehand, otherwise I will ask you to fill in a form before our first session together and we will have a consultation before we start the treatment.
Laura is at The Natural Health Centre on Tuesdays and Fridays.

“Laura is special. She has magic hands! Each session starts with a simple conversation about why you’re there, what you need, and what outcome you want. And this shapes her approach. So i’ve benefited from some deep-tissue interventions from Laura that are anatomically precise tension release or remedial manipulation; but also more holistic treatments that support broader recovery or wellbeing; and most treatments blend the two.
She “tunes in” really deeply – sensing how you respond to the treatment, in each moment, and adapting accordingly – sometimes validating what she detects with a question; sometimes guiding you to focus attention or breath to augment her touch.
Her treatments are never “on rails” – but a product of profound attentiveness guiding great technical skill (anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, etc.) Some therapists have a purely mechanistic approach to manipulation. But Laura is always sensitised to (and deliberately invests effort in) the energy-exchange aspects of a treatment – which leads to more profound therapeutic impact.
I teach yoga – so the combination of anatomical-function-and-alignment, and energy-flows-through-the-body, are important to me. Laura is expertly attuned to both. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” Alex Hamilton-Wright
“This was such a positive experience. I felt very safe and had a sense of healing or an opening up towards healing. There was a wider sense of softening and a loveliness of inner and outer world connection. I really valued Laura’s time and energy with me. It was, to be honest, an extraordinary experience.” Morag
