Phoenix & Wren Massage Therapy & BodyWork
My name is Laura Guzman. NC LMBT #22320
Located at 402A Alamance Rd, Burlington NC Wrens often symbolize softness, joy and resilience.
I am a sole proprietor in Burlington, NC who believes in using massage therapy and bodywork as a tool to assist the human body and mind to heal itself. I believe Massage Therapy is not just a luxury self-care service, but healthcare. Massage and BodyWork help heal the body physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I was not planning to take this step out on my own this soon, but I truly believe God put all the pieces into place to make this possible for me. I am so humbled and honored to be able to serve the people of Alamance and surrounding counties in their journey for wellness and self-care! The name of my business is representative of the journey I have been on in my life. The phoenix represents the numerous times I have overcome hard times and from the ashes of my life God has created something beautiful time and time again. I have entered single motherhood, and I could not think of a better name to give the daughter who brought me all softness, joy, and resilience I didn't have before. So I had to include my little bird in my business name! I have been thrown under the currents of life time and time again. I have experienced unimaginable grief, loss, tragedy, and hard times. In the midst of it all, with regular massage treatment, I found and fell in love with massage therapy. I found my body was feeling less physical pain. I found my mind was clearer and I was able to rest more. I felt less emotional turmoil. And yes, I encountered God speaking to me on the table. I wish I could find the therapist who helped me through some of the darkest moments in my life and thank him. But for now, my goal is to "pay it forward." I offer personalized massage and bodywork sessions to those seeking a space to allow their bodies and minds to rest and heal.

Massage doesn’t remove toxins. It never has. Your liver, kidneys, lungs and skin do that job around the clock, with or without a massage table involved.
What massage actually does is change how you feel, not what’s circulating in your blood. Cortisol shifts have been reported after a session, and people generally report feeling calmer and more relaxed afterwards. That’s a real effect worth having. It’s just not detoxification.
The “toxin release” claim gets repeated so often in the wellness world that people assume there must be a study behind it somewhere. There isn’t one that holds up. Studies in athletes looking at blood lactate after massage found no improvement in clearance, and in at least one trial lactate was actually higher afterwards. If massage were flushing waste products out of your system, that’s the opposite of what we’d expect to see.
Enjoy your massage. Relax, decompress, let your nervous system settle. Just don’t credit it with a job your organs were already doing for free. FFS!
If you experience this type of tension in the brachioradialis muscle from holding a phone or keeping your elbow constantly bent, come see me for some therapeutic work! 💚💜🐦🔥
