Working with Laura has been nothing short of an Amazing Experience! In my experience, spiritual teachings can often seem distant, remote and unwieldy in this modern world. In contrast to this Laura brings simplicity, warmth, authentic wisdom, and a deeply human perspective to her practice. I heartily recommend her services for anyone looking for the real deal! My girlfriend and I have been working with Laura for over two years. She has become a trusted friend and valued mentor to both of us. We came from a strong background in spiritual practice having studied classical meditation practices and Tibetan Buddhism. We found Laura through our search for a teacher who could explain the Tantras from a unelaborate yet authentic perspective. Learning from her has since exceeded both our expectations. She has introduced us to a world of energy work that is at once simple and childlike and incredibly deep, connecting the practitioner with the very essence of spiritual practice.

As a trans man, I have trained myself to disconnect from a body that doesn't match my view of myself or my identity. Laura managed to make feeling my whole body seem like a very compelling invitation - weeks later, I am still feeling connected to my body in ways I never realized were missing. She offered perspectives on 30-year-old mysteries in the ways I feel my muscles, and made me feel safe and at home. For the first time I can remember, I felt pain without a sense of violation. Usually, I shy away from anything "woo-woo" -- but I swear she managed to communicate and soothe my tissues and strain through chanting. I can't recommend Laura enough, and there is no way I will ever get a massage from someone else.

I wish I could give Laura more than five stars! Let me start by saying that I am a healer by trade, where I work as a somatic therapist. I consider myself a good judge of whether someone seems to have an embodied practice and understanding of the mind/body(/spirit) connection in their work. I started seeing Laura to manage stress from a very busy life, and to support my continued healing and growth. I am so glad I found her, because I have experienced continued and lasting healing and transformation on what feels like a molecular level, just through meeting with her regularly and opening myself to her in the process of the work she does. I initially thought she was going to offer massage with some aspects of counseling thrown into the mix. What I found, however, was a much more skilled and comprehensive, integration of many types of body work, spiritual work, and psychological work than I have ever experienced with any healer. Make no mistake, I expected she would be as good as the great body-workers I have visited before, but what she offers is even better to me, and so much more complex. There really is NO ONE out there who is doing this work the way she is, and she is extremely gifted. I recommend you make an appointment with her soon. It is very likely you won't regret it. P.S. Keep in mind, that as with any healing process, it goes as deeply as the person being treated is willing to go. If you just want to be mindless and tuned out for a massage, I am sure Laura could give you that if you requested, but you will be missing out if this is what you choose. The work Laura does borders on magical when you are nteractive and authentic with her, so that she is able to assist you in traveling to places deep inside, for the purpose of you experiencing how to change and transform them yourself. If you won't let her in, you will still benefit from what she does, but maybe not as much as you could if you did.

In a word? Amazing. Intuitive. Healing. Funny. Wise. OK, that was 5 words. I saw Laura for massage and somatic work, but her whole life view includes what is going on in your life and how that shows up in your body. I am deeply allergic to anything too "woo-woo" and Laura was able to get things done for my personal process that were negatively affecting my body. And all the while she was making me laugh with her Chicago-born, Italian, wise-cracking and practical approach. She is really quite the package. If you have pain (physical or emotional), crap you have been avoiding, or just a hitch in your giddyup, get yourself to Laura and get there quick. She will SAVE you money and time by cutting right to the heart of the matter, be it your heart or your hamstring. Or both.

I've had many massages from Laura over the past 10 years. She is the standard to which I measure all other massages. Her holistic knowledge of the human body and spirit informs her treatment, she has an intuitive touch always knowing exactly where to focus coupled with great feedback and advice for ongoing care. Not only is Laura highly skilled at what she does, but she is also a great person! I highly recommend Laura in any of her disciplines.
