Laura, a Somatic Psychotherapist, brings a deep understanding and interest in working with major life events and transitions, relationship challenges, grief, loss and death, personal and familial crises, chronic pain and psychosomatic symptoms, emotional regulation, identity & esteem challenges, anxiety, depression, eco/existential/spiritual concerns, attachment and developmental issues, into her practice. She uses a somatic approach to reduce stress and anxiety physiologically, changing the autonomic nervous system and discharging trauma through embodiment and somatic practices. Laura works to co-create a space of safety, compassion, and curiosity, supporting clients to explore and transform from their unique experiences and challenges. Laura integrates somatic psychotherapy, counselling, yoga, embodiment, and bodywork to lead individuals on profound journeys of transformation. Her passion for somatic psychotherapy and creative expression movement stems from her own lived experience, where she confronted pain, shame, and trauma, once living outside her body due to a painful gynecological condition. Navigating a tumultuous path marked by cultural conditioning and disordered behaviours, Laura embarked on a quest for healing, confronting burnout, overwhelm, and anxiety. This journey led her through a messy spiritual awakening, where she encountered both deception and wisdom, ultimately deciding to leave her job and immerse herself in somatics, psychotherapy, and philosophy. Laura's expertise encompasses trauma resolution, anxiety management, spiritual awakening support, and navigating intergenerational trauma, C-PTSD/PTSD, and nervous system regulation. She also has extensive experience working with dissociation, dysregulation, anxiety and trauma. Furthermore, Laura has facilitated various groups that empower women to reclaim their voice, expression, and connection to their bodies and selves. Each session with Laura is meticulously tailored to address the individual's unique concerns, needs, and goals, drawing upon her extensive and diverse training. Laura collaborates closely with clients, fostering an environment of trust and support to create more ease, possibility, agency, empowerment, vitality, joy, and resilience. Her commitment to holistic healing is evident in her diverse studies from her Postgraduate Counselling & Psychotherapy degree accredited through PACFA and trained under renowned practitioners like Scott Lyons in Somatic Stress Release™ , Somatic Movement therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Embodiment teacher training, Non-Linear Movement training, and Body-Mind Centering® Somatic movement education. And currently completing her Somatic Experiencing® Professional Training 3 year training. Fluent in navigating diverse cultures from her upbringing in 15 countries, Laura fosters a deep understanding and connection with individuals from various backgrounds and her South American roots. Living authentically and embracing imperfection and beauty with grace, she extends the privilege of her experience to empower others to reconnect with their innate capacity for alignment and wholeness. Currently based in Melbourne, Australia, Laura is deeply committed to serving others on their healing journeys, specializing in Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Internal Family Systems, offering transformative tools that have shaped her path.

A discovery call will provide an opportunity to ask questions and gain an understanding about your current challenges, goals and pain points. This is a key opportunity for us to start building a relationship and understand how I may be able to assist you. You can also learn more about my expertise and knowledge, the success I have had in helping others with similar issues, and consider whether my offerings will be able to meet your needs. Ultimately, a discovery call helps to determine if there is a good fit and we can decide if we would like to take the next steps together. Read more

Embodied Psychotherapy - Initial Consult
The structure of a session, like the Dao, is a formless form. It’s a collaboration between... The structure of a session, like the Dao, is a formless form. It’s a collaboration between practitioner and client as both embark on an expedition of discovery into the unknown parts of the psyche. A deep respect for what is permeating the field as each symptom, reaction and disturbance is allowed to be explored. There is often an invisible hand guiding the session as troubles and concerns are given their space. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, there is a certain vibrancy to the work; one minute we might be sitting and talking, the next we’re up role playing in the archetypes, the next we’re drawing an ‘energy sketch’, the next we’ve entered a dream and are imagining ways in which it could be re-dreamt. As such, process work is a dance between the creative and the receptive, a dance that moves to the rhythm of each individual soul. In the background is the premise that, as living beings, we are all constantly changing and evolving. Behind this is the sense that each disturbing force that arises into this space is a part of the desire of the self for more wholeness; the allowance of more and more parts into one’s totality.

Private Yoga Session
My method is a combination of meditation, inquiry, asana, free movement, pranayama, and somatics... My method is a combination of meditation, inquiry, asana, free movement, pranayama, and somatics that are based in the tantric philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism and self inquiry, curiosity and desire to harness our human potential to realise a more embodied self. I also adopt and weave in the incredible meridian-based healing arts of China along with the five element theory. The five element theory is a practical system which demonstrates how we engage with the cycles of nature. Knowledge of the five elements allows the yogi to understand the laws of nature and to use yoga to attain greater health, power, knowledge, wisdom and happiness. This arises out of deep intuition of how the universe operates. Yoga can be dynamic, restorative, fluid or simply a mental practice. I can build a personalised yoga program according to your lifestyle, your body and needs. The program can include yoga philosophy, pranayama (breath control), somatics, embodiment practices, meditation, body awareness and the energetic aspects of yoga. I offer corporate, small groups and private one on one sessions. Read more

Somatic Embodiment Session
Your entire body is a sensory organ. How often do you allow it to fully communicate with... Your entire body is a sensory organ. How often do you allow it to fully communicate with you? How much information are you open to receiving? Are you really paying attention to what it’s telling you? In this session we work with different archetypes, energies, body parts and symptoms and blockages. Whilst diving into the art of deep listening we move and work with stagnated parts. This is a perfect session for movers, anyone dealing with chronic body symptoms or anyone wanting to work with their feminine or their relationship with their bodies. Read more
