hi, I am laurence (she/her).

From a young age I longed for my community. Learning to navigate and relate to my African and European heritage helped shape the lens through which I see the world today. In the process, I became very interested in how we connect with each other and build resilient communities.

Embodiment practices came into my life in my early 20s. For years I suffered from chronic pain as I struggled to understand what my body was telling me. Over the past 10 years I trained as a Zen Yoga teacher as well as various healing modalities including somatic bodywork, reiki, shiatsu, breath work and dream analysis. My path also led me to certify as a full-spectrum birth worker.

All that you touch you change. All that you change changes you. The only lasting truth Is change.

what clients say.

  • "Laurence’s somatic work and community circle were both gracious, light and profound. Working with her was a substantial part of my grieving and processing pregnancy loss and profoundly helped me heal. I could not recommend her more. Forever grateful."

    Alice

  • "Laurence is a very gifted somatic body work practitioner. The way she uses her knowledge and wisdom and puts it into her hands and work felt physically and emotionally really good, careful and gentle. We talked before and after the treatment about the layers where the pain could come from. I can highly recommend Laurence and the informed healing work she does."

    Zara

  • “Laurence is not only a charming, empathic, loving and very warm person but she has the natural talent to know and feel exactly what is needed. The body therapy I have received and continue to receive from her is releasing the exact points in my system to feel relief and is supporting my healing process. She is also my doula and with her by my side I feel safe, secure, light, caught up, valued and more than abundantly gifted.”

    Diana

  • “Laurence gave me all I needed in our bodywork session: emotional intelligence, deep presence and a warm grounding sensitivity. I highly recommend connecting with her!”

    Christian

  • “Old habits and wounds don’t fade away on their own. Rather than accepting them as given, raising awareness around them and finding ways to heal has been a big step for me. Laurence has been an amazing guide throughout this journey. Her inquisitive and kind spirit has helped me to rediscover who I am.”

    Marco

  • “Working with Laurence comes naturally. She is very intuitive, a good listener and engages all her senses while taking you on the journey to the unknown. Her gentle, brave and rooted presence shapes a safe space for things to unfold. With Laurence, magic happens.”
