LAURA’S BIO | PART II

(Unedited, Serious Version)

I spent the first 28 years of my life not fitting in and looking for love that worked.  There’s a lot of pain wrapped in that one sentence.  I journeyed through depression, self-cutting, and disordered eating.  There were always moments of peace and bliss, if I was able to recognize them. And always a passion for food, consciousness, and healing; for understanding how this whole journey WORKS. The beautiful airy-fairy is… well, beautiful… but my feet are down here  in the glorious mud and I want what works.

My journey of healing took me from traditional psychotherapy, to bodywork, to energy healing, and finally to a place where my everyday ego was strong and healthy enough to start the real work of revealing Spirit.

Currently I am a blissfully married (14 years) mother of two amazing children.  I am 42 years old and I have been a homemaker, CrossFit Trainer, and Brennan Healing Science Practitioner.  I have degrees in Psychology, Religious Studies, and Brennan Healing Science. I am Certified in Natural Health Consulting, CrossFit, and CrossFit Kids. I’m a certified Money, marketing, & Soul Coach, an avid reader of The Economist, and a successful investor and entrepreneur.  I’ve lived a lot of places, including outside Chicago, on the Maine Coast, and on a wild ranch in Montana. Life was good, very  very good, and had been for many years.

But…

So many of my dreams were manifest… what do you dream for when you’ve gotten everything you ever wanted?

That was a hard question even to own. I didn’t want to rock the boat.  I didn’t think it fair to want more.  Without really realizing it, I made choices to stay still, to play it safe.  I answered the question, “is there more?” by telling myself, critically, “isn’t this enough?”

Yet the soul never stays still.  Slowly but inexorably, I got more and more out of alignment; felt my own self-created pain box closing in on me.  The questions got bigger and more insistent: is this all there is?  Is this all I am?

In 2008  I woke up from years of denial thanks to a full-blown healing crisis. An inexplicable and severe attack of neuralgia in my hands and feet was my own personal “OK, I’ll grow – MORE!” moment. The acts of Grace that flowed in from that moment are too numerous to list here, and are the reasons for this website.

I was diagnosed with spondyloarthritis, sacroiliitis, other “itis’s”: basically systemic inflammation eating away at my foundation – my bones and joints, my ligaments and tendons.  I was prescribed prednisone and cancer drugs, told I would be on pain medication the rest of my life, and to prepare for a hip replacement. Embryonically AWAKE, though terrified, I chose to use all I had learned to journey out of the pain box I had created, without any medical intervention or drugs.

I faced my fears and blossomed anyway.

Along the way I discovered that Raw Living Foods are an incredible support for an awakening journey.

With the complete internal commitment to awaken, the actually physical cleansing and healing took less than three months.  I became completely pain free.  My mobility returned – at miraculous speed.  I had been unable to reach the floor, dress myself, or get into a car without help.  Now I was not only pain-free but able to sit in lotus on the floor (and get up again!), participate in vigorous yoga, and rejoin my family in the outdoor pursuits I love.

Physical discomfort was the catalyst – the attention grabber.  My physical healing was profound and dramatically changed my quality of life.  Yet it is the inner doors that have opened, the experience of Spirit, or Grace, in my conscious everyday life, that I have found even more amazing and important.

Although I had always been in the “helping professions”,  quite suddenly I knew I had to reach a larger audience.

I wanted to be able to help as many as I could, and most of all I wanted to connect to and grow with and share the glorious wave of Great Awakening that is available to all of us right now.

Thank you for visiting with me as I answer the drive to live a life larger than just me, in the hope that others who are struggling might feel hope. That others feeling trapped and unclear and sad might take courage, and experience the Grace and power of a deep intent to nurture and listen to the Self.  We really are connected. We really are magnificent.

Throughout my life I have experienced many miracles, and they were often delivered through the simple actions of another ordinary person, who cared.  That authentic sharing plus my intention to grow multiplied by the mysteries of Grace… it’s that alchemy that gives me the courage to put my hand out to you and say to you, “You have been Called. Are you ready to say YES?”

May you find support for your Journey wherever you look.
