Laura is a trauma-informed somatic therapist and certified yoga and meditation teacher with over 25 years of experience – 19 of those specialising in mental health, trauma and substance misuse.

After years of living in disconnection and using alcohol to numb anxiety, quiet the constant mind chatter and cope with the exhaustion of overworking and perfectionism, Laura chose a different path. Establishing sobriety was just the beginning, which then opened the door to a deeper journey of reconnection with body, mind and soul.

Her approach blends somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, movement, mindfulness and ancient eastern philosophy guiding others to gently release old coping patterns and reconnect with their true nature. Laura’s work is rooted in the understanding that we’re not broken – we’ve just forgotten who we really are. That wholeness, that sense of being fully alive and at home in ourselves, is never lost. It’s just been buried under years of stress, survival and trying to keep it all together. Through reconnecting with the body, we remember. Not by fixing ourselves, but by slowing down, listening in and realising that what we’ve been searching for has been here all along.
