Meet Laura Marie
I am a certified yoga therapist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and yoga nidra instructor. For over two decades, my work has focused on helping people navigate anxiety, exhaustion, and the heavy demands of modern life. With a deep background in trauma-informed care and chronic pain support, I specialize in nervous system regulation- helping individuals understand that the states of overwhelm, mental fatigue and burnout are biological responses, not moral failings.
My approach bridges the lineage of ancient wisdom traditions with modern insights into neuroplasticity and somatic practices. In a culture that insists we must constantly do more to be more, I offer a practical alternative: when we allow ourselves intentional moments of pause and stillness, we interrupt our habitual patterns and reactions. This creates the clarity we need to see our options clearly and consciously choose a response-even in the midst of life's heaviest demands.
My primary work focuses on facilitating my specialized signature series- Yoga Nidra for Better Sleep and Alone, Not Lonely curriculum-available for healthcare networks, psychotherapy practices and wellness studio partnerships. Alongside these signature series, I deliver practical, seated stress-reduction sessions and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) protocols tailored for corporate teams and school systems. I am also deeply proud to partner with my local community wellness center, where I host accessible, ongoing classes to ensure these supportive tools remain available to everyone right here at home.
