A brave space to reconnect with YOU
You have probably landed here for a reason, though finding your way to this place may have taken some time!
Perhaps it’s the quiet exhaustion that comes after years of trying everything you can to feel better. Whether that has been the talk therapy sessions, the breathwork, the hypnotherapy, the re-coding yourself, the endless searching for that one thing that might finally help you feel at ease. If you’re anything like me, you probably have a shelf somewhere stacked with self-help and personal development books, each one offering a glimmer of hope that maybe this time it will all make sense, that maybe this time you’ll finally feel different.
But what if the task isn’t to feel different, but to feel more?
Because so much of our struggle comes from the feelings we’ve had to suppress, the grief, the fear, the anger, the longing and it’s our capacity to safely meet what’s been buried that opens the way to real freedom.
Maybe you live with anxiety, panic or burnout, or the lingering impact of trauma that never quite seems to resolve. Perhaps your nervous system feels like it’s always switched on, even when nothing obvious is wrong, or you are managing a persistent health condition that seems to have no clear medical explanation.
For some, this journey has included recovery from alcohol, from overworking, from people-pleasing or perfectionism and the tender process of learning how to live without the coping patterns that once helped you survive.
For others, there’s a sensitivity that comes with being neurodivergent. The intensity, the creativity, the emotional depth - they are all gifts in their own right, yet many of us have learned to hide them, to mask, to fit in. Over time, that effort can take a quiet toll on the nervous system, leaving it hard to find true rest or belonging.
However it shows up for you, there’s often a common thread, which is the constant striving to fix, to improve, to hold it all together and beneath that, a quieter longing for something more real. A longing to feel at home in your body, to rest without bracing, to soften the inner pressure to be more, know more, do more.
This is where our work begins in that subtle pull toward reconnection, and in the quiet trust, that it’s possible to come home to yourself again.
Welcome!
I’m Laura, an integrative somatic therapist who helps you find your way back to connection with yourself.
For many years I lived with disconnection and disassociation. I adapted to survive in ways that left me feeling cut off inside, using alcohol to numb anxiety, quiet my savage mind and cope with the exhaustion of overworking and perfectionism.
Choosing a different path, a somatic path that changed everything. It became my way of finding aliveness, connection and ease again.
Today, I help people restore the connection they have lost with themselves, with others and with life. This is work I have walked myself, and it now forms the heart of the Somatic Wellness Hub and HeartSomatics™.
Through a blend of body-mind awareness and both bottom-up and top-down approaches, I support nervous system regulation and the resolution of identity patterns shaped by developmental and relational trauma, patterns such as shame, low self-esteem and chronic self-judgement.
Change doesn’t come from forcing ourselves to be different. It comes from creating the right conditions for connection to reawaken, and meeting what is here now so that new experiences of safety, belonging and self-trust can emerge.
This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what was never lost.

The Yoga Nidra course with Laura was a revelation. For the first time I learned how to truly recognise the patterns in my body and what it feels like to be deeply relaxed. I now have practices that calm me, and I’m beginning to understand the deeper reasons behind stress, perfectionism and overworking. I’m so glad I found Laura and hope to work with her again.

I’ve been having 1:1 sessions with Laura for several weeks. She’s given me tools to cope with everyday life and helped me manage old traumas with different strategies. The guided practices and online resources have benefited me greatly and support my practice between sessions. I would highly recommend Laura — she offers comfort without judgment, simply listening with compassion.
