What working with Laura is like
Sessions are steady and unhurried. Laura is direct without being cold. She’ll tell you what she’s noticing, ask what you want from the work, and let you set the pace. Expect room to be exactly where you are, and honest support when you’re ready to move.
Teaching
Laura also teaches other clinicians. Her continuing education trainings run through the Well Being Sanctuary Institute, the practice’s sister organization.
