Helping people on their hero’s journey.

Hi, I’m Laura! I love seeing the light come on for others. I look forward to making that happen with you!

My Story

When I was in undergrad, my bosses “stuck” me with the hard cases that nobody wanted. Fortunately for me, those were the people I found the most delightful. They were real.

Working with them, I learned so much about what works and what doesn’t.

Nobody wants to be dis-eased or imbalanced, and we can all heal.

If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, and want a holistic solutions to get to the root of the problem, call now.

I will guide you to find your own solutions so you can believe in your ability to lead yourself.

My Values & Beliefs



Time and money are valuable

This is an investment for both of us. I want you to go away from our session feeling that our time together was so invaluable that you want to refer all your friends and family.



The #1 ingredient to success is the relationship

If we don’t click, nothing magical can happen. There has to be trust. Take your time deciding whether or not you want to work with me. Read my blog. Listen to my podcast. Then decide.



The #2 ingredient to success is community

I believe that we become dis-eased in community and we must heal in community. The key is to have healthy people around you who have the same vision and can offer support.

My Approach

You Were Never Meant to Do This Alone.

Authenticity isn’t a solo journey—it’s a shared experience. As social creatures, humans thrive in healthy, supportive communities where we can be seen, understood, and celebrated for who we truly are. Growth happens in connection, not isolation.

Join our community to shed the masks, break free from pain, and rediscover your authentic self. Here, you’ll find the encouragement, insights, and genuine relationships you need to flourish. Because the joy of becoming yourself is richer when it’s shared.

Come grow with us. Together, we rise.
