“Laura's classes feel safe for me to truly tune into my body's needs on a regular basis, and go at whatever pace I need to.”

Hi, I’m Laura Phoenix (she/they)
I help people heal from relational trauma through embodiment practices.
I’m intimately familiar with the pain of relational trauma because it nearly killed me. I’ve been through hypervigilance, panic attacks, night terrors, flashbacks and on the verge of suicide myself. I know things now that I couldn’t see from the depths of my own pain. I’m well trained and practiced in helping to shift nervous systems from overwhelm to empowered possibility.
I teach folks to use the same tools that worked for me; yoga for trauma recovery (different than what happens in your typical studio class!) and Somatic Experiencing.
The overall sense in my body shifted from overwhelmed terror to empowered possibility—and that’s what I want for everyone I work with.
