Hobbies: I have a husband and two teenagers and my hobby is spending time with them, going on vacation, the kids’ sporting events, enjoying time outside but staying protected from the sun.

Favorite thing about working at Hudavi: My favorite thing about working at Hudavi , is the special personal relationships I have with most of my clients . Long Beach is such a “big city, small town”, We see each other outside of treatment room, to network and enjoy each others company.

Favorite (or Specialty) Treatment: I enjoy doing all facial treatments at Hudavi, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Spice Enzyme facial. I have been working with Epicuren for 15 years and that treatment is so versatile, and is so easy to customize for ALL skin types, and concerns.

Over a decade ago, Laura decided she wanted a career that would enable her to positively affect other peoples’ lives. She chose to embark on a journey into Massage & Body Work to fulfil that desire. After attending Lincoln Institute in 2004, Laura became a California State Licensed Massage Therapist and quickly integrated herself into the world of health & wellness. Having lost her eyesight at the young age of 18, Laura has developed a masterful set of skills which enable her to care for all of her guests’ aches & pains. With her background working in a chiropractic office, Laura’s specialties include treating guests with sciatic pain, neck tension & headaches. She regularly attends classes to learn better and more effective ways to identify the causes of pain and how to treat those causes. Her treatment knowledge ranges from Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage to Sports and Prenatal massages. She just updated Craniosacral to her list of massages. Laura firmly believes that everyone should receive regular massage treatments to help prevent serious pain or injury.
