The Reset Retreat is a restorative and uplifting journey of reconnection and empowerment expertly guided with:
+ Yoga for tension and trauma release
+ Somatic Movement for restoring physical alignment, emotional balance and harmony of mind and body

+ Embodied Constellation Work for a quantum shift in perspective, release of limiting beliefs and patterns, and activating new potential, freedom, authenticity and true happiness.
What is Somatic Healing?
Somatic Healing is a means of resolving inefficient movement patterns and chronic pain that the body has developed through tension, stress, trauma or bad habit. It re-educates the sensory motor system to recover innate abilities for greater voluntary muscular control and helps release chronic neuromuscular contraction patterns and limited range of movement. Somatic healing nourishes and improves the functioning of the whole person.
Why is Family Constellation work powerful & How does it work?
Systemic or Family Constellation work uncovers and releases unconscious ancestral entanglements that affect all aspects of a person’s health and wellbeing. Through being born into a family, we inherit not only our biological genes, but also belief systems and behavioural patterns that we typically are unaware of or that show up in our personal relationships. Family constellation work enables us to work beyond any story or drama of the past. It brings healing to the present situation that will have a positive impact on all generations, past and present. This work honours all those who came before and recognises the power of re-including any family members who have been excluded which results in profound healing and transformation.
In a group setting, we work with one person’s intention or a shared collective focus. We will set-up a constellation that will involve other members of the group standing in as ‘representatives’ for aspects within the dynamic we will explore.
Whether you are watching the constellation unfold or are a representative involved in the constellation – the healing transcends to bring insight, relief and healing to your own individual circumstance.

client feedback:
“I attended Laura’s vitality retreat weekend, not knowing what to expect. The energetic work that I gained over the retreat weekend was commented on by my acupuncturist afterwards. He assured me that my whole energy body had changed and asked me the reason for it! Since then, I have continued to reap great benefits from the healing work Laura offers through workshops, one to ones sessions and weekly online classes.
Laura has amazing psycho-spiritual skills to facilitate groups. Her sessions are intrinsically multidimensional in nature. She works in such a holistic way: cognitively, emotional, spiritually, bodily. I have done yoga for years and travelled extensively around the world doing all kinds of healing and yoga workshops. It is not an exaggeration to say that Laura is attuned to a Higher Consciousness. I could not recommend her enough!”
