Laura's work in improvisational dance and movement formed an understanding of the body as a means for symbolic expression. Her early work as a psychotherapist included a somatic approach to develop awareness between the body and mental/emotional processes. Laura brings an embodied approach to analytic work. Her thesis was entitled The Psychoidal Aspect of Wounding; how the conscious exploration of one's wounded places can facilitate an opening for change, growth, and transformation.
