I grew up in a small town and that meant when you’re old enough, everyone worked in Agriculture. I have picked everything from corn to strawberries to rocks. I spent my high school years working in tobacco, many valuable lessons were learned during those cold fall mornings. I attended Guelph University and studied Psychology and then decided to join the automotive world. I worked at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Cambridge and Woodstock building doors for ten years with the past five years spent as a Team Member Relations Specialist. When I had my daughter, I thought it was time to leave the corporate world and do something that fulfilled my passion of helping people. I went back to school to become a Registered Massage Therapist. I enjoy working with people of all ages but especially children as well as pre and post natal. My hobbies include travelling, reading, and spending time with my dog and daughter outside in the sunshine

Laura is a certified Sound Therapist, gaining her certification in January 2024 after studying with ITM (The Institute of Traditional Medicine) in Toronto. After becoming certified in Reiki in 2018, I knew there was another component to my purpose and longed to learn Sound Therapy. It wasn’t until January 2024 that I became a certified Sound Therapist after studying with ITM and decided to live the dream placed into my heart back in 2019. Sound Therapy is a powerful healing modality that uses vibration/sound frequencies and has been known to have a range of benefits including: stress reduction, relaxation, enhanced focus, heightened spiritual experiences/awareness, improved sleep quality and immune function. A sound healing session with me can include/but not limited to: an opening guided meditation, sound bowls, vocal toning, gong, drum, koshi chimes, and a closing grounding meditation. The session is a time for you to deeply relax and connect to yourself with the healing power of sound. I have lived in Brantford for 17 years after moving from Hamilton, Ont. I enjoy plants, hiking, reading, gardening and time with my family and dog. If you would like to connect with me, you can find me on IG @openheartintuitivehealingarts
