Laurie’s Story
Being blessed with good friends, great husband, fabulous son, and wonderful family, Laurie believed the world an optimistic and joyful place. That changed with the untimely death of her husband, who succumbed to an aggressive form of cancer. The prior death of a young nephew, her parents, then in-laws, and three very close friends followed. Her grief and depression loomed large, yet she continued functioning in her daily life, hoping things would change for the better. “Just take each day as it comes,” was her philosophy.
Laurie attended a 2 1/2 year Holistic Healing and Health class. There was only one man in the class, and he became her husband. Joining him, she moved to Truckee, California. While walking past For Goodness Sake, a spiritual sanctuary known for its great classes, a flyer on the front door jumped out at her... Transformational Breath Workshop. Yes, it was transformational! Laurie experienced an enormous shift and found this a profound help in releasing the grief she had held for many years. She sought out training in breath work as a healing modality. Her unhappy thought patterns, the affects of childhood trauma and negative self-talk diminished significantly... all in a relatively short period of time. She was educated to train other facilitators, and continues to combine breath work, Reconnective Healing, Reikki and strong intuition in her sessions. And one of the best things about the breath work? It can be learned by her clients, and then self-administered!
Laurie now lives in Nevada City, California with her husband Doug, their two Golden Retreivers and two feline friends.
