Laura's space is easy, relaxed and therapeutic. She holds space for clients in the space they are. Her touch is just deep enough without being painful. Her intuition is remarkable. She sees her clients as healthy and pain free and this allows her clients to see themselves the same way. Her office is conveniently located with free parking outside.
