Community Gatherings

A Space for Deep Feelers

Whether you’re listening quietly or gathering in community, you’re welcome here.

I work with sensitive and introspective adults navigating trauma, relationships, and identity transitions as they cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional clarity, and ease—both through personal reflection and meaningful community connection.

My approach supports the connection between mind, body, and inner awareness—creating space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with oneself.

Spiritual Friction Podcast

Spiritual Friction is a space for real, honest stories. People share their experiences of challenge, growth, and healing through heartfelt conversations—reminding us that none of us are alone.

These are stories of resilience, transformation, and what happens when we embrace the friction that shapes us.

Welcome to Spiritual Friction.

  • “Laurel’s presence is palpable. I felt held by her empathy, her acceptance, and her competence. It is incredibly easy to trust Laurel and effortless to follow her guidance. She consistently embodies profound humility and holding capacity, and demonstrates tremendous competence. She has a relaxed self-trust that is felt and transmitted energetically. I am deeply grateful for her generosity of all that she shares: her time, attention, experience, guidance, and knowledge. I feel the transmission of her love and light.”

    With wholehearted gratitude, I.S.

  • “When I first started working with Laurel, I had just been fired from my job and blindsided by a breakup — both within the same two weeks. I was struggling deeply, emotionally, and mentally. Laurel helped me feel seen and heard at a time when I truly needed it most. What I appreciate most about her approach is that it’s not just talk — she provides practical, actionable tools that support healing on every level: mind, body, and soul. Her somatic techniques, in particular, were powerful in helping me come back to my center when I felt completely ungrounded. Laurel is not only skilled and insightful but also incredibly encouraging and compassionate. I’m so grateful for the support she offered me during such a difficult time, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who blends emotional presence with real, usable tools for growth and healing.”
