    The Embodiment Workshop

    This in-person class offers a unique chance to deepen your connection with the state of your nervous system. We will begin with a brief overview of nervous system science, followed by a series of somatic exercises designed to facilitate slowing down and tuning into the sensations within your body. These exercises will help you release any accumulated energy. You will have the opportunity to connect with others through touch, enhancing your experience. We will conclude with a body scan incorporating touch, leaving you with a greater sense of ease and freedom within.

Testimonials

  • I’ve attended several of Laurie’s workshops and she infused each one with her knowledge, compassion and presence. Laurie creates a safe space to explore—whether it’s the vision for your life or emotions held in the body that no longer serve you. With non-judgement, care and empathy, Laurie guides you in the work she embodies. The workshops attract a lovely group of women. I always leave lighter, inspired and eager for the next one!

  • Every single time I attend Laurie's workshops, I end up sleeping all weekend! A huge indicator that my body is healing from all the burdens/suppressed trauma that I have been carrying throughout my life. I even saw feathers at our beach site - a sign that I am protected. Laurie is such a compassionate facilitator and I feel so safe in her presence. I highly recommend working with her!
