Laura earned a BFA in Contemporary Dance from Concordia University in 2002 and completed graduate studies with the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD) through their International Choreographic Exchange program in 2004.
Laura first discovered Osteopathy as a patient to manage old injuries and the wear and tear on her body from dancing. The treatments that she received sparked her interest in the connection between the physical body and health.
From there Laura made the decision to use her experiences and knowledge in a new context: therapeutic rather than purely artistic. She embarked on a career change and graduated with a Masters in Osteopathic Manual Sciences from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in 2019. She is also a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association.

Taking care of my body, mind, and soul has always been a priority in my life. I have dedicated time to learning to optimize my health, which became a desire to contribute to and connect with my community.
For years, I was an avid yoga and CrossFit practitioner. I had the opportunity to learn from great teachers. I also sustained a few injuries from pushing myself too hard. One of my teachers introduced me to FRC and Kinstretch, and with the support of a team of physical therapists and my kinstretch practice, I built a more resilient body.
I spend time with my husband and my 5-year-old son when I'm not coaching clients. We love playing outside (when the weather allows), building Legos or pretending we are dinosaurs, and chasing each other all over the house. At 49, I feel lucky to have a body that can quickly respond and recover from the exertion of trying to keep up with my son!
