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!”
– Noelia, Psychotherapist, 2022
