About Me My passion is helping people reconnect with themselves through Somatic Experiencing® and restorative bodywork. These approaches are at the heart of my practice, supporting nervous system regulation, deeper embodiment, and lasting healing. My journey into this work began over 25 years ago with studies in horticulture, herbalism, massage therapy, and nutrition. Each of these gave me a strong foundation in holistic health and the belief that body, mind, and spirit are deeply interconnected. Over time, I felt most called to trauma healing, and Somatic Experiencing® became the core of my work. Today, I bring all of these tools together to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can slow down, restore balance, and find their own inner resources for healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/a1fcd623-7919-4550-a514-65dd4588299e/Laura-146.jpg About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/948e3b12-5592-4a50-a778-a8faefc8b29a/326456434_916712809504081_3350488548315288051_n.jpg About Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lauraoswald.com/somaticexperience daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/1674238755497-8VU1UNKKUDJHNE69GHVK/iStock-1132462484.jpg Somatic Experiencing® & Restorative Bodywork https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/9c873b5d-8c25-4ef9-bbe9-c411efbc8583/somatic-massage-therapy-2.jpg Somatic Experiencing® & Restorative Bodywork Most people come to me not because they want another massage or more talk about their struggles, but because they’re ready for something different — a way to create real, lasting change in the body. I offer Somatic Healing Sessions tailored to your individual needs. These may take the form of: Somatic Experiencing® (SE) sessions — one-on-one work where we sit together and use SE, a body-oriented approach to healing stress and trauma. This helps regulate your nervous system and shift long-held patterns. SE with restorative bodywork — for those who also want touch support, we may move to the table for gentle, attuned touch such as craniosacral therapy, somatic touch therapy, Reiki, or gentle massage to support deeper integration. If you’d like to include table work in your session, please select this option from the drop-down menu when booking. This allows me to prepare the space and ensure your session is fully tailored to your needs. Massage-only sessions — if you’re seeking relaxation or muscle tension relief, massage can also be booked as a stand-alone session. For deeper healing, the integrative approach of combining somatic work with restorative touch often creates the most profound and lasting results. The Somatic Experiencing® approach goes beyond simple relaxation. It addresses the nervous system, emotions, and the physical body together — helping you unwind the roots of chronic tension, pain, anxiety, or overwhelm. Many clients describe feeling deeply met in ways they hadn’t experienced before, as though their body finally has permission to reset and heal. https://www.lauraoswald.com/client-love-1 daily 0.75 2025-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/1674242406072-TVQDQ27AYDQFWY0714KL/iStock-1132462484.jpg Client Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/741317f8-cc74-46a7-b198-3601af795984/our-first-womens-circle-lg.jpg Client Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/29e517ea-5b88-4a65-bae9-0d2257fa2b8d/hands-2667461_1280-1.jpg Client Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/0a9b015b-49e7-4d6c-8d6b-9b32cdd57de4/hands-flower-lina-trochez-377674-unsplash.jpg Client Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/aba75a3f-d6df-4b83-86b7-02760ea0b637/summer-love-heart-shaped-leaf-tracie-kaska.jpg Client Love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lauraoswald.com/september-workshop daily 0.75 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/1730316607936-L523AFMCKSI5PEMQ9T0Q/iStock-1132462484.jpg Holiday Offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb232417d0c91295c8c7f1c/7337d3f3-dd49-47dd-a549-d731041befd3/615177442_122155488686700225_548716458440826241_n.jpg Holiday Offerings - Life Inside Your Nervous System Sunday, February 1st 2–4 pm The Be Free Healing Center | Fort Collins Self-Investment: $25 Ever notice how you can speed up, shut down, people-please, or go into overdrive ~ all in the same day? That's not you being "too much." That's your nervous system doing its thing. In this fun, trauma-informed, and very down-to-earth workshop, we'll explore the different "characters" of the nervous system (like The Go-Getter, The Turtle, and The Scanner) and get curious about how they show up in real life. Through gentle movement, reflection, and playful exercises, you'll have space to: • Meet the personalities inside your nervous system • Notice patterns without shame or judgment • Learn simple, practical tools to feel more grounded No prior experience is needed ~ just curiosity and a willingness to tune in. My hope is that you leave feeling a little more connected... a little more resourced... and a little more compassionate toward yourself. ✨ I would truly love to have you there.
