ABOUT LAURA

​

​

The healing journey is diverse, organic, intuitive, and self-guided, and does not happen in isolation. Creating safety to heal takes support and connection. We are not problems to be fixed; we are complex beings with infinite potential to thrive in ways that align with our hearts.
 

I view healing through a holistic lens, acknowledging the inherent wholeness and interconnectedness within each of us. My approach to support is rooted in curiosity and non-judgmental self-observation. I prioritize gathering information to increase our conscious awareness, enabling us to make choices and develop radical self-compassion. My focus is on differentiating learned coping behaviours and our embodied trauma, from our identities and self-worth. I hold deep compassion and acceptance for those struggling with behaviours labelled as addictive and/or compulsive.

If you are seeking support as a unique individual, and hope to gain deeper understandings, while experiencing respite from your internal conditioning, I may be a good fit for partnership. In my practice, I integrate insights from the following:

 

• Anti-oppressive theories

• Decolonization,

• Compassionate communication (NVC)

• Narrative therapy

• Inclusive spirituality

• Trauma-informed care

• CBT

• Family systems theory

• And others
