Somatic Experience and Bodywork love
“The most grounded I’ve ever felt.”
After several years in traditional talk therapy, I felt I needed a different approach to help me heal the symptoms of trauma and my daily battle with anxiety and an eating disorder. The first time I had a session with Laura, it felt like nothing I’d ever experienced. Like the best massage/spa day/healing session condensed in a few moments.
Laura pointed out to me that what I was feeling was a regulated nervous system! It felt incredible! In the following days, I trusted my body’s signals more, and It was easier to move through my day confidently. Over time with Somatic Experiencing® and massage therapy sessions, I’ve gotten to practice feeling my feelings (the greatest superpower there ever was!), trusting and acting on my intuition, and how to let my body be without any expectations or pressures to change. That confidence and trust are now part of my daily lived experience. Through these sessions and the hands-on work, Laura gave me a safe space to learn new coping skills so I wouldn’t need to rely on anxiety and an eating disorder to navigate life. Thank you, Laura!

“My son experiences Calm.”
I initially sought out Somatic Experiencing® Therapy looking for a way to help my teenage son with developmental trauma (drug exposure in utero and post-birth attachment disruption). Laura developed a rapport with him necessary to do the work, and the benefits to my son since they have been working together have been remarkable.
He experiences “calm” in his body now and can reference that when he is away from her office. I was so impressed with the effect of Somatic Experience and her co-regulating massage therapy work with my son that when I experienced a significant stressor, I started seeing Laura too. So far, I have seen changes in my sleep, dream life, and waking access to previously buried memories, among other benefits. Thank you, Laura! We are both so incredibly grateful!

“fear doesn’t stop me anymore.”
I have had the pleasure of working with Laura for four years. She has helped me on my nutrition journey, and I have also received bodywork from her. The first thing I noticed about Laura is her natural empathy and her moral compass. She is trustworthy and real, and I feel safe being ALL of me when I am with her. She asks provoking and hard questions while providing tools to help me navigate everyday and complex issues. She is very knowledgeable in many aspects of mental health, including eating disorders, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, OCD, and PTSD. When Laura shared that she would be offering Somatic Experiencing® trauma healing sessions as part of her ongoing training and desire to evolve and show up for her clients, I jumped at the opportunity! I have been working through heavy trauma with her for a few months now, and I feel significant shifts in my life. Laura comes highly recommended, and anyone would be lucky to work with her!

She makes significant life changes feel extremely simple and easy to achieve. She’s straightforward and positive to work with.

“Laura is an incredible holistic nutritionist.”
She listens and genuinely cares about holistic health and working with your unique needs. I have been working with her for three years, and she has always patiently explained the workings of gut health and the importance of nutrition for long-term health and vitality. I cannot recommend her services enough!” - Christina K
"Laura provided the structure I could not provide for myself.”
I have come a long way through meal planning, healthy recipes, and online and telephone support from Laura. Through her guidance, I have lost 15 pounds and feel much healthier. Anyone who has received any of Laura’s services can attest to the relaxing space that she creates, her attention to detail, and her intuitive approach!

“I am overjoyed with my progress and a new mindset on life.”
“Laura's work is different from other nutritionists in that not only does she employ an uncanny intuition as to what course of action will most benefit her clients, but she is exceptionally knowledgeable about the science of the human body, and she is trauma-informed. Rounding out the experience is her open-hearted kindness, safe healing space, and loving homework assignments. When you leave her, you are far better than when you arrived, both in body and spirit.”
