Lauren (Lucia) Rehorst / BS, LMT, LAc, MSOM

Hello and Welcome!
My first interests in natural health came from my mother (a Registered Nurse), my aunt (a Licensed Massage Therapist), and most importantly from my years as a Certified Veterinary Technician at a holistic animal hospital where we successfully treated scores of beloved pets with Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. 

I started this practice in 2011 with the motivation of helping people have an easier time at life.  Isn't that what its all about?  I'm honored that our therapists and I are able to effect areas of health that aren't well-addressed in the mainstream medical model.  We can help you course-correct minor to medium health issues before they become something more substantial, needing the intervention of a medical doctor.

And if you're already under the supervision of an expert medical team, our complimentary treatment modalities play a synergistically supportive role in keeping you functioning opitimally.

What Lauren does for fun:
-  Cooking and enjoying food
-  Bodybuilding
- Spending quality outdoor time with her family: husband Jon, dogs Shadow and Archie, and horse Ranger
-  Continuing to learn about how to better help you!

Jason Cooper / LMT

Jason was born and raised in Wisconsin, and I have been living in the greater Milwaukee area since 2009.

I graduated from Lakeside school of Massage Therapy in 2010. I got into this profession because I like working with my hands and helping people. I also like the fact that every person's needs are different and so every approach to their therapy is unique.  I mostly specialize in Deep Tissue therapy. 

My favorite type of client is one who is wanting to learn more about the human body and certain things they should be doing on a daily basis to help with their chronic issues.
In my free time I like to play my bass guitar (novice at best) I also like to fish when I'm back in central WI.

PJ Vang / LMT

Hello! I’m PJ.

I received my license at The Aveda Institute of Beauty and Wellness in 2016 and have been a practicing massage therapist since. I like to describe my massage as a calming therapeutic style because I believe in homeostasis of the body.

I got into massage because I always had an interest in how bodies work and how resilient they can be. At first, becoming a physical therapist was at the top of my list, but after careful consideration and a pros and cons list later, I decided that my next move would be to become a massage therapist. Little did I know, I would come to love and appreciate my craft as a perfect profession for myself.

I love to help my clients realize the full potential in their body and how wonderful their innate healing abilities can be in regards to post-injury self care.

Techniques that I utilize in my sessions:
- Myofascial release
- Sports massage
- Deep tissue
- Light Swedish massage

"Hello! I’m Lara Patterson. I studied Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Racine (where Lauren Rehorst and I met and worked together). I am excited to join the team at Live Oak Health, serving to help you to realize your health goals and improve your quality of life. I look forward to meeting you!

In addition to practicing acupuncture, I teach middle school Health, and enjoy working with patients interested in optimal nutrition. The body’s ability to heal itself is truly amazing, especially with gentle assistance from acupuncture and body work to help it rebalance. I find it especially gratifying to be able to help athletes return to their sports and assist people in reducing their pain and stress."

I enjoy lending a hand in the recovery and or bringing relief from unexpected injuries and muscle pain gained in life over time.  Creating an experience of wellness with nurturing intent for the spirit, mind, and body during your service for the journey ahead.
