Lauren Parsons, Attuned Body and Birth Educator

Lauren Parsons, Attuned Body and Birth Educator I am a licensed massage therapist. I specialize in Craniosacral Therapy, Cupping and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Hello, my name is Lauren Parsons.

I am an educator teaching classes in Lymphatic Drainage, Cupping and Aromatherapy. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I graduated with a Bachelors of Social Work from the University of Iowa in 2001 and began my professional life working with women, children and adults with developmental disabilities. After several years, the stress and lack of resources to do my job effectively lead me to leave the social work profession. I have always known that I want to work in a profession that empowers others to heal. I believe that I have been called to massage therapy and energy work in order to achieve my mission of co-creating healing and connection in the world and within myself. As a LMT and I seek to combine education with intuition to bring about radical healing opportunities. I am especially interested in addressing trauma of all kinds, using an integrative approach that addresses the physical, emotional and energetic body. I relate most with the Wounded Healer archetype and believe that working through our own pain is the initiation into helping others do the same. Receiving energy work, craniosacral therapy and massage therapy have played a large role in my own trauma healing journey. I am a graduate of Carlson College of Massage Therapy. There I found an unexpected passion for neuromuscular therapeutic massage and creating targeted treatment plans to address the roots of soft tissue dysfunction. I have completed the following additional classes: Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Craniosacral Therapy with Clinical Applications 1, Cupping Massage and Relational Bodywork and Somatic Experiencing.

Somatic Experiencing® resolves symptoms of stress, shock, and other traumas that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release and recover.

As one of my favorite humans, recently reminded me in her incredible training, having healthy regulation means that we need robust access to all of our nervous system states. (And yes, that even means that freeze is a thing we need!)
Regulation is one of those really tricky things every one seems to know about these days right? Take some breaths, be mindful, drink cold water, and just try to “learn how to regulate.” Regulation isn’t just about our ventral Vagal “flow” states…
I know it’s been said before but truly it’s an important thing to read: regulation is not a synonym for calm.
Being regulated doesn’t mean we’re connected and easy going all the time.
Being regulated means we’re ready to fight back when we’re being oppressed or harmed. We’re ready to run or leave if someone speaks harshly to us. And if we spend time reading the news, or feeling overwhelmed with doom scrolling, we might find ourselves checking out in freeze.
Our bodies and nervous systems are working their hardest to care for and protect us, even when life feels impossibly difficult.
Sending you all love and hoping you have the courage and grace with yourself to ask for and receive the help you deserve. 🧡//
