      <image:title>About - My Why</image:title>
      <image:caption>There was a period of my life shaped by chronic pain, stress and constant pushing — a time when I didn’t yet understand the signals my body was trying to communicate. My instinct was to manage, suppress and “push through,” trying to stay strong while my system was asking for something entirely different. This long-term tension, hormonal imbalance and emotional strain left me feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and unsure how to return to a sense of clarity and ease within myself. I realised I needed a different way of relating to my body — not as something to control or override, but as a source of wisdom, guidance and resilience. My healing unfolded through years of deep study in somatics, psychotherapy, embodiment and nervous system work. I learned how chronic pain, conditioning and patterned responses shape our inner world — and how they can gently shift when we cultivate capacity, presence and attunement. I discovered new maps for emotional and physical regulation, ways of relating to my body with compassion, and tools that helped me navigate both the challenging and the beautiful parts of being human. This journey changed how I move through the world. I found steadiness where there was once overwhelm, clarity where there was confusion, and a more grounded sense of vitality and purpose. Not because my life became perfect, but because I gained the capacity to meet life from my body — not against it. This is why I do this work. Today, I support women who want to feel more regulated, connected and confident in themselves — women who are navigating transitions, identity shifts, emotional patterns, chronic tension or simply the desire for a more embodied way of living. My approach is grounded, relational and body-led, honouring each woman’s pace, intelligence and unique lived experience. My life is still imperfect and beautifully human, but it is rooted in ease, honesty and alignment. And it is one of my greatest privileges to support others in discovering a steadier, more embodied and empowered way of being. Aliveness. Vitality. Freedom. Harmony. This is the essence of my work — and the invitation I extend to you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Somatic Psychotherapy - Are you tired of talk therapy that feels like it’s going nowhere? Do you want to feel real change in your body–mind, not just talk about it?</image:title>
      <image:caption>My work supports women who want a deeper, embodied approach to healing — one that includes the nervous system, emotions and the felt sense of the body rather than relying on conversation alone. I work “bottom-up,” helping your system shift physiologically through somatic awareness, emotional processing, nervous system regulation and experiential practice. My intention is to help you reconnect with parts of yourself you’ve abandoned, build inner resources and move through life with greater ease, clarity and empowerment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Somatic Psychotherapy - “It is really rare to find someone like Laura to work with. I felt so comfortable being raw and vulnerable, and to face wounds and patterns that even after many years of talk therapy were still hanging around — waiting to be felt, not just talked about. Laura always knew exactly where my edge was, and how to meet it with softness, respect and authenticity. I feel on such a different path because of our work together. I’m deeply grateful.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Yoga - I am a registered 500 EYRT Yoga alliance advanced yoga teacher, teaching vinyasa flow, power yoga, restorative, YIN and embodied flow classes. As a dancer and mover my passion for movement has merged over the years, teaching mindful creative sequences with a hint of south American vibrancy and passion. I layer my classes with philosophy and deep intention setting, providing a space for my students to explore the practices yoga and somatics. My method is a combination of meditation, inquiry, asana, free movement, pranayama, and Somatics that are based in the Tantric Philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism and Self Inquiry, curiosity and desire to harness our human potential to realize a more embodied Self. I also adopt and weave in the incredible meridian-based healing arts of China along with the Five Element theory. The Five Element theory is a practical system which demonstrates how we engage with the cycles of nature. Knowledge of the five elements allows the yogi to understand the laws of nature and to use yoga to attain greater health, power, knowledge, wisdom and happiness.</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - How I Work I blend somatic psychotherapy , Somatic Experiencing, nervous system education, and feminine embodiment to support women to return to inner steadiness, relational clarity and embodied confidence. My approach is: trauma-informed, but not trauma-focused relational and paced rooted in nervous system science grounded, feminine and deeply attuned professional and boundaried. This is not clinical mental health treatment or crisis support. It’s intentional, body-led work for women who are ready to grow — not for those seeking acute intervention or medical care. The Women I Support This work is ideal for women who: are high-capacity, sensitive and self-aware want to feel more regulated, embodied and confident desire healthier boundaries and relational intelligence are ready to soften into feminine energy and expression want real change — not quick fixes or spiritual bypassing This work is not a fit for: Medicare or insurance-funded therapy clinical treatment or diagnosis crisis or acute trauma support those seeking a rescuer, saviour or intensive counselling substance dependence or unmanaged mental health conditions Clarity keeps us both safe and aligned.</image:title>

      <image:title>Events - AN ONLINE JOURNEY</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pleasure After Trauma is a journey into yourself. It’s the science behind your responses, &amp; the embodied practices to bring you back to life. Through this work, access the power of your voice and the pleasure of feeling at home in your body. This is for women who know there is more to life than shut down and pain. It’s for those are yearning for fulfilment, peace and confidence with life itself! The only trauma informed sexuality course built specifically for survivors by a survivor.   This Course is essential for you if you experience any of the following: Do you feel frozen, numb, unable to connect to your pleasure and power? Do you find it difficult to set healthy boundaries and swing between letting people all the way in, or blocking people out completely? Would you like to regain trust in your body, your decision-making process and know that no matter what, you’ve got you? Maybe you’ve already tried to address these things but done so in environments that weren’t trauma informed. Unfortunately, many people who seek healing in these spaces wind up more orgasmic, but with their trauma more deeply entrenched in other ways.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Approach - My Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>My Approach I offer a grounded, body-led approach that combines somatic psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing®, somatic movement therapy and gentle embodiment practices. This work supports your nervous system, emotions and body to unwind patterns, soften tension, restore regulation and reconnect you with your inner intelligence. Instead of pushing, analysing or reliving the past, we work with your present-moment experience — the subtle signals of your body, your breath, your sensations, your emotions and your intuition. Healing becomes something your body remembers how to do — safely, slowly and sustainably.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“It is really rare to find someone like Laura to work with. I felt so comfortable being raw and vulnerable and to face some of the wounds and patterning that even after many years of talk therapy were still hanging around….waiting to be felt and embodied not just talked about. It was such an honour for Laura to hold space for me - always knowing where my edge of comfort was and knowing how to challenge it with softness, respect and authenticity. I feel on such a different path because of my work with her and am so grateful for it.” — Elisa Silbert- Trained Somatic &amp; Trauma Therapist.

      <image:title>Praise - “How to even start describing Laura’s classes? She is simply the best. Laura is a master of her craft, incredibly knowledgeable across such a wide spectrum of body work – dance, yoga, massage, Chinese medicine. It is a true mastery in that during the class you feel like you’re on a journey of discovery together with the teacher. I’ve never felt intimidated, judged or out of my depth, despite having the flexibility of a brick. This is part of what makes Laura’s classes so good – being such a holistic master across disciplines and a born teacher. The other part is her spirit. Laura has a certain timeliness, a beauty, an elegance, a grace you can capture a little piece of during class. There is far, far more to Laura’s classes than just technique, they provide a subtle but lasting boost to the spirit and you won’t be able to help smiling afterwards when Laura’s voice comes back to you and reminds you how perfect, how flowing, life can be..”</image:title>

      <image:title>Praise - “ “Laura is intuitive and generous in her approach and I felt immediately comfortable in her presence to explore whatever arose within the session. Laura responded with openness and curiosity, without pushing or over-directing the session. She held a space of exploration where I felt I could attend to difficult emotions safely. As a writer, I can get caught up in the endless rabbit holes of language, and movement therapy really helped me to bypass language and follow the body instead. I’d recommend a session with Laura to anyone - in fact, I have already told my friends to give her a call!”</image:title>

      <image:title>Praise - “On my one-on-one yoga class with Laura, I found that the focused time from her was extremely beneficial. You really feel that she knows the body extremely well. I got great feedback and confirmation about my current practise as well as really effective new movements to add to it. It really felt that the session with Laura was like months of yoga classes condensed down into one afternoon. I would definitely come back for another session.</image:title>

      <image:title>Praise - “Working with Laura has been a profound journey for me. She has helped me open to new depths within myself, increase my capacity &amp; capabilities, whilst also allowing me to soften into the truth of who I am, and seeing that truth as something beautiful. Laura works in a gentle, reassuring and real way, unlike any other therapist I've experienced. I have always felt safe with her, not only because of her nature but also because of her depth of knowledge, resources and the way in which she holds space. I absolutely could not recommend her enough for anyone who wants to experience life with more joy &amp; ease. Having the experience of working with Laura is something that I'm exceptionally grateful for.”</image:title>
