The field of Somatic Movement Therapy is a broad one which encompasses several therapeutic, expressive, and creative movement disciplines developed over the past 40 years. 

Laura trained and performed as a classical and modern dancer for many years in NY, London, and Cambridge, MA. In 1988 she discovered Authentic Movement and has been practicing and teaching the work ever since. Laura also completed SomaSoul: Somatic Expressive Therapy Training in 2004. Founded by Daniel Leven, SomaSoul integrates body psychotherapy, somatic movement therapy, and the expressive arts.

Informed by her studies in bodywork, Hatha Yoga, Spiritual Psychology, Continuum, Authentic Movement, and SomaSoul, Laura brings all these skills to bear in her approach to Somatic Movement Therapy. Using her keen sensitivity to tracking the body, along with verbal dialogue, movement exploration, voice work, journaling, and drawing Laura guides you inward to access the wisdom stored in the body.Through this process insight is gained into patterns that restrict freedom and authenticity and skills and resources are developed to support living a more vital, expressive, and integrated life.

Laura is an ISMETA Registered Somatic Movement Therapist.
