Testimonials

  • "Laura has an uncanny way of finding just the right point of entry / focus to really “crack you open” in the very best of ways. Her deep listening and sage advice help you move through your difficulties and beyond. She practices what she preaches and meets the hiccups or roadblocks that inevitably will arise when doing deep healing work with great compassion and knowing, as she has likely been there too. She is brilliant and wise and offers just the right mix of research / education, keen body awareness, and yoga magic. It is a joy and privilege to work with Laura."

    — Meghan Maiya, Ceremonialist

  • "Working with Laura has been a landmark in my life. She has an uncanny intuition for the needs of her clients, and creates a tailored practice that, for me, has been a critical element missing in my life. As an individual who tends toward productivity (and sometimes to a fault), it has been so healing to open my heart up and come back to ground zero. Laura is also an incredibly warm and caring human being. I cannot recommend her services enough."

    — Kevin Mahany, Entrepreneur / Musicia

  • "I am incredibly fortunate to have Laura as a truly exceptional mentor for my yoga therapy studies. Our meetings are consistently rewarding and enlightening, thanks to her profound insight into the practice. Her expertise goes beyond the physical aspects of yoga, delving deep into the spiritual and mental dimensions, making each session a holistic experience. Her deep insight, personalized approach, and genuine care have made a profound impact on my physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I feel truly blessed to have her as a guiding light on this transformative journey."

    — Ingibjorg Stefansdottir, Yoga Studio Owner / Yoga Therapist

  • "Laura is an amazing listener and very knowledgeable. She inspires a sense of balance and of a safe home during her sessions and through the yoga practices. I am grateful to have her as my mentor and yoga therapist. Her positivity and love for life is contagious."

    — Gladys Yumet, Yoga Therapist

  • "In my early 60’s my lifetime of great health and ability to “do anything“ had changed to chronic, debilitating back pain and increasing levels of anxiety. Lau’s gentle, intelligent counseling, her yoga “prescriptions“ and her integrated approach to body/mind wellness supported me to reclaim my health in this next stage of my life. I am so grateful to be free of back pain. I am so grateful to have an enjoyable process that I trust for having a healthy relationship with this precious, eldering body of mine."

    — Jan Smith, Musician
