The Short Story
Laura has been practicing bodywork since 1993, specializing exclusively in CranioSacral Therapy for the last 8 years.

The Long Story
Laura’s interest in bodywork began in 1991, when she was sent some information about Aromatherapy. She was quickly fascinated, and took a year long training to become an Aromatherapist. Then she realized that she needed a license in order to practice. Her pursuit of that led her into a passionate exploration and practice of bodywork that has lasted for twenty years. About 8 years ago, her then 6 year old daughter fell from a tree and suffered a closed head concussion. The doctors sent her home with no treatment. But she was waking each night with nightmares and during the day she was constantly bumping into things. Laura called a friend who was a CranioSacral therapist and she came over and gave her daughter a session in the middle of the afternoon. Her daughter fell asleep and slept peacefully through the rest of the day and into the next morning. When she awoke, all the symptoms were gone. Laura realized it was time to specialize in this amazing therapy, and quickly became trained to do so. CST addresses the body at it’s core, allowing it to release deeply held restrictions in a way that is often not possible with other forms of bodywork. The work continues to unfold as Laura deepens her ability to listen.

Client Reviews

Laura is a heartfelt and gifted practitioner. She always "knows" the areas that need the most attention. It was a blessing to be guided to her and receive her "loving hands" treatments. Doreen E.
Laura is amazing! My session with her was beautiful and nurturing and allowed me to take time to care for myself in a way I'm usually not able to. Afterwards, I felt relaxed and balanced and at the end of the day, slept well and deeply, which was something I definitely needed. Very highly recommended!
Laura is an amazing and gifted healer. All of my sessions with her have been very helpful. Doreen E.
Laura's gentle hands allowed a softening of the muscles of my neck. I have tried massage but it's too inflammatory to the muscles. CS treatment is the best bodywork for me.
I finally had a good nights sleep. Very relaxed afterwards.
Laura is amazing because her approach is very holistic. We appriciate what she offers so much. She is gentle and grounded, kind and so skilled with what she does.

Jessica G.
What a wonderful and healing experience. I look forward to my next session.
I suffered from sciatica in my left leg and anxiety. After receiving Laura's treatments for about six months, my sciatica is gone, and my anxiety is reduced to almost zero, as long as I don't eat a lot of sugar and keep exercising!

Laura takes time with her clients, listens to their needs and has a gentle and healing presence about her. My chronic lower back issues were resolved in just a few visits. I would highly recommend Laura to others. Additionally, she is extremely knowledgable in the field of CranioSacral Therapy and is patient and resourceful as a Mentor for those studying under the Upledger Institute Program for CranioSacral Therapy. Thank you Laura!

The calm, skillful hands of Laura help me every time I come in. She is always more than helpful with recommendations and connections to supplements etc. as well as her talents as a Cranial Sacral Therapist. I recommend CST to everyone because it helps de stress (at the least) in these over-busy times. Children especially can find greater balance and peacefulness by way of this very centering & uplifting therapy.
