Start here with my Free 3-Day Course to learn about parts-work.
Hi, I'm Laura.
I’m a psychotherapist, writer, and speaker based in Vancouver, BC.My work centres on the tender and transformative nature of relationships: to ourselves, to others, and to something greater than us.I’m especially drawn to the spaces where science, spirituality, and healing meet. Whether through therapy, words, or community offerings, I care about making room for truth, grief, joy, and belonging.
You’ll often find me speaking about intimacy, inner healing, and the beauty of being human. With warmth, curiosity, and a little play.
