I am a physician and so skeptical of most alternative treatments, but Lauras approach to body mechanics, movement, and injury seemed very reasonable so I opted to try working with her. I found her to be very knowledgeable and smart, but most importantly, she took the time to listen to my concerns, look at my body and the way I walked and sat, answered my questions in a straightforward manner, proposed changes that were doable, and kept checking back in with me to see how things were going. Our work relieved my back pain while sitting and improved my posture. I feel more alert and uplifted when I stand or walk and this has had a definite impact on my mood. I can feel the difference when I straighten up, I feel taller, more self-confident, stronger, and more able to meet whatever is happening at the moment. I recommend her highly and plan to continue to work with her.

Laura helped me re-learn how to do the most basic thing possible: walk. Since childhood, I got pain in my side running and walking at a fast pace. What I didn’t know is that something could be done about it, without drugs or surgery. Laura patiently increased my awareness of how my body works. We all have bad habits; we’re just aware of some of them more than others. With patience, warmth, and deep analytical knowledge, Laura taught me how to use my whole body as I walked. She taught me how awareness of my body mechanics could break my bad habits incurred through years of not thinking about something as simple as taking a single step. She also taught me other ways to move my body more efficiently in other daily movements, to lower the long-term stress I put on my joints. I now can walk long distances at a fast pace without pain. I know that my cardiovascular shape might limit me, but not the way I take each stride!

Working with Laura was incredibly helpful! Our sessions were fun, relaxing, and empowering, and helped me achieve a new understanding of how my body works.
