Natural Balance Massage amd Wellness, LLC 

Laura’s passion for self care and feeling good is what lead her to yoga. Yoga’s balance of gentleness and strength has given her a sense of peace and calm that no other form of exercise could. Her intentions are to create balance in the body, as well as awareness and acceptance. She wants students to leave her yoga classes feeling relaxed and refreshed. Laura completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training with the College of Lake County. In addition, she is also a licensed massage therapist, certified personal trainer and reiki practitioner.

My background in both Qigong and Reiki offers my clients a unique experience, certain to create a sense of well-being that remains long after their session ends. My interest in holistic practices grew increasingly strong after I injured my neck in a military accident and underwent a 2-level spinal fusion. The combination of pain medications and continuous physical therapy left me searching for alternatives that treated not only the physical body, but the emotional state as well. Sharing my experience with other Veterans made me realize how many people are themselves seeking a less conventional, but more effective, path to wellness. The goal in my practice is for each client to leave their session feeling balanced, content and peaceful.
