About Laurie

I found that living a life with fresh whole foods, plants, herbs, and movement as medicine allows me to be in balance with the elements of nature and to live my life to its fullest ... strong and healthy and enjoying the journey of following my dreams.

I am dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve optimal health by integrating the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, mindfulness, and yoga into my practice. A transformative yoga class inspired me to shift my career direction, leading me to become a Physical Therapist Assistant and a certified yoga instructor. My personal health journey has deepened over the years as I have faced significant challenges, including a diagnosis of bacteremia and endocarditis, as well as navigating the complexities of irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, postpartum recovery, and menopause.

Confronted with limited options in traditional healthcare, I embraced Yoga and Ayurveda, uncovering their profound potential to restore gut health, heal emotional wounds, strengthen my core to eliminate incontinence, and enhance feminine empowerment. This journey has led me to prioritize physical and mental health, longevity, and overall well-being. Recognizing a gap in available information surrounding these issues, I sought answers and unlocked an inner wisdom that guided me toward a career that bridges Eastern and Western medicine. This path allows me to share my knowledge and support others on their healing journeys. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own body, and I am here to assist you in reclaiming your health through personalized education and holistic approaches.

With over two decades of experience as a yoga and Ayurvedic practitioner, I blend a variety of therapeutic approaches, including yoga therapy, breath training, postural re-education, lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and herbal remedies. Currently, I serve as a physical therapy assistant at JAG PT and am a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist through Core Exercise Solutions. As a board-certified yoga therapist and Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I am committed to treating each client holistically, recognizing the profound connection between mind and body.

Through The Inner Path, I work with women who are committed to making sustainable lifestyle changes that connect them with their inner wisdom and beauty. Together, we will develop a tailored plan that considers your unique constitution (Dosha) and life circumstances, focusing on nutrition, herbs, meditation, movement, and self-care. Let’s take this journey toward wellness and balance together.
