About HeartSpace Studio
HeartSpace Studio is a boutique massage and bodywork office in the heart of Lynchburg VA's historic Rivermont district. We offer holistic and heart-centered healing therapies with naturally sourced, home-grown and house-made products.
​
I'm Laura Stavella, the owner and proprietor of HeartSpace. I'm a healer by nature and a life-long student of biology and metaphysics. I've been practicing massage, bodywork, and energy healing since 2008, but I started on the healer's path as a child, walking on backs and rubbing feet. I love this work and genuinely enjoy helping people. When I'm not doing bodywork, I'm growing, baking, or making things. Many of the products I use in the studio have been grown in the garden or made with my own hands with locally sourced goods.
I'm committed to helping people achieve their highest good. Each treatment is thoughtfully crafted and lovingly applied. I wanted to bring all of these elements together to make an all-natural, unique and wonderfully local experience to every client that comes through my door. <3

My Philosophy
My goal with HeartSpace is to make healing treatments that are fully realized experiences for people. If a client has a healing experience on my table they can take it home and apply that healing to their lives. Then they might go out and seek more wellness options within the community, explore more locally made products available, and try more simple and effective alternative therapies our area has to offer. That process puts people at the helm of their health pursuits. Wellness becomes pro-active instead of reactive. Clients benefit from the education that comes with receiving helpful healing experiences, and therefore other local health and wellness practitioners benefit from these clients seeking more natural and alternative treatments. Local artisans and growers have a demand for their products and wares. That is how we grow a natural health and wellness-conscious community in our beautiful area. If I'm here for anything it's that!
