KIND WORDS FROM 2024 Kripalu participant

“Laura's teaching style and therapy approach is heart-centered, compassionate, and easy to follow. She has beautiful, endearing energy, is so clearly authentic, and is also SO very skilled, knowledgeable, and wise as a therapist, mentor, and human. 10000/10 recommend.” —EB, LCSW, RYT-200, New York City

Oct 19-22 Restore Your SELF: Retreat for IFS Therapists & Practitioners

Join IFS Colleagues in community to give your hard working Therapist/Practitioner parts some rest. Tend to the ones who work so hard in session, the parts who want you to be a “good” therapist and help your clients heal.

This time is just for YOU—no one else to tend to but your precious parts. When does that happen?!

Befriend what blocks Self energy and clarity in session so you and your clients can thrive.

Space is Limited. Invite a friend or colleague.

IFS-I CEs pending.

“When I invited Laura to teach an IFS and LifeForce Yoga 5-day program at Kripalu Retreat Center, I had no idea how her generous spirit would make such a difference to me and our participants.

Her open heart and authenticity drew our community together. Her advanced preparation and ability to connect and communicate with calm presence made her an outstanding teacher. She stayed fully present to the volunteer clients, as she demonstrated two clinical sessions that brought the group to tears. I loved teaching with Laura and look forward to our next opportunity to teach together!”
