Our Founder
Laura Moore
CO Esthetician #COZ.0621163 & MT.0001871
My name is Laura, and I am the founder of Health at Hand Bodywork + Esthetics. Since 1998, I have been committed to providing highly skilled, knowledgeable and inspired bodywork and skincare. Blending the art and science of these modalities, I delight in the opportunity to be able to provide a holistic, nourishing experience, combined with clinical techniques, to help clients reach their goals.
Experience
With over 25 years of experience in the health and wellness field, my journey began with an interest and study in traditional herbalism and nutrition. As a child, I was a competitive alpine downhill ski racer. I inevitably suffered multiple sports injuries during my youth and young adult years.
This led me to seek the rewarding career as a Licensed Massage Therapist as a part of my own healing process and practice, which also provided me with insights on how to help others seeking healing from trauma of all kinds.
Focusing on chronic pain and physical dysfunction, I sought education to better understand my own pain patterns and that of my clients. “Walking the walk and talking the talk” have always been of great importance to me for the sake of integrity and authenticity. Holistic Healing has truly been a calling and a passion in my life, and it is a great honor to help and support others on this same path.
Skin Health is a love and passion for me as well. From my own personal struggle with teenage acne that persisted into my mid 30's, I just knew there had to be a better way. So, I also became a Licensed Esthetician in 2013! I tried many, many products that never delivered results. I also experienced many harsh treatments that further stressed my skin and in some cases made it worse, leaving me totally frustrated and discouraged. As a long time resident of Colorado, I've learned that clinical skincare, and skin health in general, needs to be approached differently here in our high-altitude environment. From my insight, education and training, I am able to offer real results, based on cutting edge science and research. I work alongside my trusted medical director, Dr Jonathon Gallen MD, to provide safe, effective holistic and clinically sound treatments to heal and balance skin, unique to each individual – all in a natural way!. I am living proof that there is a way.
Furthering my education of the magnificent human body, I've recently embarked upon the long-time love and goal of becoming a Certified Pilates Instructor. I am currently engaged in a comprehensive program for rehab professionals with Balanced Body, an internationally renowned instructor training program. Drawing from decades of experience and extensive education of the body, I am thoroughly “geeking-out” on this vast study of how the body moves! I look forward to being able to further support my clients through mindful movement and functional strengthening.
I discovered this amazing form of exercise back in the early 2000's and quickly knew that when the time was right, I'd take a deep dive. That time has come, and I am in deep, for sure! The Pilates method of movement is a tried and true low-impact modality for integrating the body and mind - creating long, strong, lean, muscles and maintaining a healthy, mobile spine. Safe for all ages, shapes and sizes! Personally, Pilates helps me maintain my deep core strength and balance without straining old injuries or creating unnecessary inflammation.
I especially love the awareness and mindful connection it creates with my physical body. I will be offering private instruction and small group class offerings in the very near future, so stay tuned for more.

I am a proud Mom to a kind-spirited teenage son Hayden; he is working hard toward his Eagle Scout. Our family and friends love to play games, cook, and watch movies together. It's a full and abundant life...I make sure to remind myself (You Too!) to slow down and be still, rest, revel.....so as not to miss the sweet subtleties of life. Miracles are real, and they are everywhere!
