Meet Laura
My journey into young adulthood is when I found the passionate desire to know myself and the world around me. After relocating to British Columbia, travelling alone in the southern hemisphere, and healing from broken relationships all led me to want to help people through difficult times.
After obtaining my BA in psychology, I went to start a life-changing experience working toward being a registered therapeutic counsellor with a diploma in transpersonal psychology.
In my program, we were guided to do our own personal work. With support, I was encouraged to look at patterns in my life that were holding me back and impacting my ability to be vulnerable — a key to living a fulfilled life.
Through the rigorous exploration of my past experiences, I was able to pinpoint exact moments where my limiting beliefs stemmed and the influence that they were having on my world today. Once I started to peel the layers, I began to feel more connected to myself and others and move through life transitions and build healthy relationships with more confidence.
I am now amazed by the fact that our feelings of unworthiness come straight from our past and can be eradicated to uncover hope for the future. Through gentle exploration, I am guiding others through changing their inner landscape, to create better outcomes that they desire.
“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do.”
— Brene Brown
My Promise To You
I will always meet you where you are at and will bring curiosity and compassion to your experiences. We will work together, and I can support you by providing you with tools, and resources to work through blocks and beliefs, and help you gain a new perspective so you can live the life you desire.
I use an integrative approach based on the mind and body connection. I will work to bring focus to what is happening physically, emotionally, intellectually, and physiologically inside of you.
I support you to create a deeper connection with yourself, which will allow you to navigate through life’s ups and downs, connect more deeply with others, gain more clarity, and grow from your experiences.
After your session, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, feel confident to work through blocks that are preventing you from living a life you desire. You will have the tools to look at past patterns and apply them to how they are affecting current beliefs and relationships.
