Laura Fuller, M.A., C.Ht. S.E.P. is a somatic therapist, yogi, dancer, and writer. She has worked with people through their bodies and souls for thirty years. Laura brings a deep reverence for the human journey; respect for the times when we walk through the underworld and also for the times of flourishing. Coming from a non-dual somatic perspective, she believes in listening to the wisdom of the body and the power and magic of emotions. She is dedicated to bringing these feminine aspects into the teaching of yoga, meditation, and spirituality. This includes helping these forms come out of old paradigms of separation, hierarchy, and control. 

The movement is towards wholeness, sovereignty, connection, compassion, and deep embrace. Laura’s classes and groups are grounded in understandings of trauma, humanity, deep listening, the necessity of growth and change, and in our ability to heal through wise connection to our body, soul, earth, infinite, and each other.

Laura’s studies include Depth Psychology, Somatic Psychology, yoga, breahtwork, and hypnosis. Her goal is to support movement towards wholeness, connection, and truth–for each individual and collectively. As a student of the body and the breath, Laura is interested in the sacredness of this particular journey through life and also our infinite nature. This includes the study of birth, pre and peri natal, transpersonal, cosmic, and the unwinding of trauma through both the physical and archetypal.

Yoga - Laura came to yoga with a mystical disposition and in her own deconstruction from high-control religion and high-control movement training. Finding many of the expressed philosophies of yoga to contain some of the same problems that she was seeking alternative to, she embarked on a path of reclaiming understanding of the goodness and wisdom of the earth, body, emotions, and humanity within yoga and healing. Along the way, she has found many who are devoted, loving, listening and sincere.

Therapy - I have worked with people through their bodies, minds, and souls for more than 25 years. My focus is in Somatic-Depth work and Talk-Touch work. Depth looks at what is going on deeper than thoughts and behaviors. Somatic brings respect for what the body has experienced and for its wisdom. Somatic and Depth together reclaim psychology from behavioralism—restoring a reverence for the soul. In a way that is gentle and deeply respectful, we will listen for what is going on and use modalities that support the body, brain, nervous system, heart, and soul to come into the present moment, balance, and strength.

I work through Somatic Experiencing, therapeutic touch (including table work), hypnotherapy & breathwork. I have 20 years of experience in table work. If your body and emotions are needing gentle support, table work is a very valuable resource. I do somatic sessions with individuals and couples (partners, family members, or friends) and I also run online groups, making these modalities available at low cost.

My specialties include:
• complex trauma  • early developmental trauma  • attachment • neurodivergence • religious/spiritual trauma  • and medical/surgical, Depth work (life transitions, grief, journey of the soul) • table work  • spiritual awakening/integration  • work with artists and creatives, and  • evolutionary relationships.

Somatic work can help heal trauma and can also support you in living life with more connection to the body, emotions and soul. It is an invitation to become more fully alive and integrate any parts that had been set aside. If you are interested in therapy that goes beyond the cognitive mind, please reach out - I would love to connect.
