About
Laura Fritz, O.T.R/L., is an Occupational Therapist with over 30 years of experience and advanced training in CranioSacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Zero Balancing, and Lymph Drainage. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on approach that utilizes the body’s natural healing properties to restore the vitality and health of the whole body. Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique that involves sustained pressure into connective tissue restrictions. Myofascial Release is safe, gentle, and consistently effective in producing results that eliminate pain, restore motion, and last. Zero Balancing is effective in reducing inflammation and asymmetries in the structural framework as well as balancing the whole system.
By combining these modalities, Laura offers a unique approach to helping the client find relief from acute and chronic pain, emotional trauma, and imbalances which have not responded to traditional therapy, medication, or surgery. Often symptoms such as headaches are warning lights that one is out of balance in his or her internal environment. Laura is effective in enabling clients to restore balanced, pain free active lives in order to make profound lifelong changes.
The word “dragonfly” means transformation for adaptability in life, and Laura has chosen to embody that spiritual meaning with her private practice “Dragonfly: A Transformation through Therapy.” Her office hours are by appointment only. Laura is also readily accessible by phone to accommodate your busy schedule. She provides effective gentle hands-on treatment in a private, individualized, environment with the goal of restoring you to total wellness. Her purpose is to be of service.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy utilizes the CranioSacral system in which the practioner can palpate the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid as it is pumped through the head and spinal cord. Restrictions and tightness can be detected and released through gentle holding patterns and light traction. These techniques can be helpful in alleviating headaches, spinal restrictions, autoimmune diseases, ADD, Learning Disabilities, birth traumas etc…
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is based on fascial restrictions due to trauma, inflammation, and poor posture. Soft tissue releases help reduce tissue restriction for better circulation and healing to occur. These techniques can help with all pain syndromes, traumas (physical and emotional), back pain etc…
Zero Balancing
Zero Balancing works with the soft tissue and restrictions that can affect the bony structure of the body. This Therapy utilizes pressure points into the bone to release any restrictions that may occur here. Zero Balancing allows the whole body to balance, open breathing passages by releasing the rib cage, balancing hip bones to increase circulation into the legs and feet etc…
Children and Youth Therapy
Body Work can be beneficial for children with Attention Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Sensory Issues, and Birth Traumas. Combining hands-on body work and individualized thereputic approach based on developmental milestones, therapy can be extremely effective and provide fast and lasting results for children.
Lymph Drainage
Your lymphatic system plays a number of critical roles in your body. It acts as a garbage collector, filtering out bacteria and toxins that can cause disease. Lymphatic drainage removes toxins and bacteria from your skin, reduces sinus pressure and congestion, helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and puffy eyes, increases collagen production, promotes faster healing for sports injuries, and so much more. When lymph flows, everything else flows.
