“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:
‘When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?’”
— Gabrielle Roth
Meet Laurie…
Laurie’s work is multi-layered, and includes a professional background in movement, meditation, and energy work. In each, she draws wisdom from all the modalities she’s trained in and passionate about; so a movement experience will always go beyond a traditional group fitness class and include energetic alignment, and hopefully a spiritual nugget or two. A meditation or breathwork session will always be supported by her work with and knowledge of the physical body, as well as spiritual background and ability to help women find optimal energetic alignment.
Specifically, in a movement class or private session, you can expect to experience alignment cueing, purposeful choreography, science-backed exercises, education on proper breath patterns and nervous system regulation, as well as deep consideration for your body’s current needs: i.e. postpartum, working with an old or new injury, or desiring specific aesthetic outcomes. Cumulatively, Laurie has been teaching movement and teacher training for almost two decades — specifically barre, mat Pilates, Vinyasa yoga, fusion formats and now her proprietary mat-based classes. Please see official bio for list of trainings and certifications, which include thousands of hours of movement education. Aside from credentials, though, movement is about returning to joy; and through music, verbal cues, and more, this is the ultimate goal of each class or session.
Laurie’s meditations are modern and easy to follow. Think of it as an opportunity to hang out with your soul. Her meditations are specifically geared towards those who want to relieve physical stress, connect with their intuition, come into better alignment with Self, and learn to manifest the life you truly desire. There’s no wrong way to do it and no experience or props needed. Laurie also facilitates somatic breathwork for those looking for an active form of meditation and deep healing, or a deep clearing. She offers group sessions throughout the year, or private group sessions on request.
Recently, Laurie is shifting her attention to her newly-forming Spiritual Mamas Club — a a soulful community and soft landing space for mothers to retreat, restore, and root more deeply into ourselves. To gather inspiration from other cool mamas doing beautiful things in the world. To remember our magic.
She acknowledges that she was born, raised, and continues to live and work on, Coastal Miwok land. Forever, forever grateful.
