I have been working with Laurie for over almost 10 years doing energy work, but recently she has helped me with clearing trapped emotions and remote healing after I was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. Eastern medicine believes that cancer starts with trapped emotions and blocked energy, so I knew this work was an important supplement to my western medicine therapies. As of today, my tumor is shrinking and my energy is improving. Most importantly, however, is the compassion and support that Laurie consistently provides throughout this difficult time. Thank you so much for everything!

Thanks for everything. In Laurie doing trapped emotion releases, I’ve noticed I can connect with my body and get to that meditative state. I hadn’t been able to do that since my injury years ago. I also work with an intuitive healer/clearer and she says she can see things much more easily this last week. I didn’t make the connection at first. Totally awesome. Very great stuff.

I have been a student of Laurie’s for years and always look forward to her classes. Laurie’s Yoga Class is like an oasis from the demands of daily life. Under the guidance of Laurie one is led cheerfully through an ever changing series of stretches to loosen the tension from head to toe. It is not just a stretch, but a reach into yourself. She begins with a meditation to calm the mind and concludes with an affirmation or spiritual reading to send us on our way. All of this this is done with laughter and a smile along with a reminder to do only what is comfortable.

Laurie is Yoga personified, every time I participate in one of her classes, I get a sense of connectedness to humanity.

Laurie is a natural born healer and the daughter of a healer. A session with Laurie is a powerful experience of transformation. She has helped me in finding emotional peace, releasing grief and keeping my body healthy for over 12 years. Someone said this to me about Laurie: “She is a powerful Healer.” I agree with that statement and would add: “She’s gentle, caring and compassionate.”

Laurie is the most talented, gifted, kind, and intuitive teacher and healer I could ever hope to work with. She has been a teacher and mentor from the first day we met, and I will forever consider her my master teacher. She’s been a source of support not only for me, but for my whole family. It’s a gift to know her.

Laurie’s Inner Strength Yoga & Healing Center is a very peaceful and spiritual place with sound meditation, drums, and healing work. It caters to people with different needs, from Hatha Yoga to gentle and restorative Yoga for the less fortunate, for example Fibromyalga sufferers. The environment is safe and nurturing and the teachers are very knowledgeable. I enjoy my yoga practice there and look forward to my next visit.

I love my yoga practice at Inner Strength Yoga & Healing Center. There is a wonderful space to practice in. The teachers are awesome and very knowledgeable in providing safe and progressive classes. They provide a variety of classes to fit all needs whether it be, gentle and restorative or something more advanced. At Inner Strength Yoga & Healing Center there is a definite spiritual sense about the place and one leaves feeling very peaceful and satisfied.

I started taking Yoga in April, 2005 and wasn’t sure at all what to expect. I found myself in a room surrounded by people I mostly knew since they were all co-workers, and we all looked around the room, ready to be taken by Yoga.
We learned a lot in that first class on how to breathe and focus on movement, as well as making sure to come out of a pose if it became too difficult. Laurie, our instructor, showed great amounts of patience as well as concern for her students that they completed poses the right way and didn’t run risk of pulling muscles.
Two months ago, I stopped Yoga for a couple of different reasons, but not at all because I wanted to. I made the decision to cut back on a few of my own personal finance choices and had to say good-bye to Yoga for a little while.
In only 2 months, my entire world changed. I began to notice more intense mood swings and the way I was talking to people. I stopped challenging myself as much and became lazy. I was tired a lot and couldn’t find enough energy, even though I was working out at my company’s gym. (Free for all associates)
About 2 weeks ago, I ended up in the ER with severe pains in my upper abdomen. I was sure it was something serious and horrible and after a few tests were run, I learned it was Colitis. This is when the Large Intestine and Colon are inflamed, which is mainly caused from diet and stress. I was put on pain medicine as well as something to help with the digestive track. I knew that I’ve always been prone to stress and that I have an acidic stomach, but these things never bothered me half as much as the Colitis did.
My Mom asked me while we were in the ER if I was still doing Yoga and it was like a light went off in my head! I wasn’t and I was paying a price for it! The relaxation and the balance Yoga brings to a person was something my body craved! I learned quickly that I need to have this in my life or else my body will respond in ways I never want to feel again!
The new session of Yoga starts in less than a week and I have already paid my dues so that I can be there for my first class in 2 months! I’m excited to get back to feeling happy and content as well as relaxed and motivated! It never occurred to me that Yoga is the answer to making ones lifestyle the best it can be!

Something very significant shifted at a deep level within the safe surroundings and encouragement that Cindy and Laurie created during my Shin-Rai-Healing session. My releases have continued – some very big, some just twinkling awareness, and I feel a whole lot lighter in every good sense.

Shin-Rai-Healing (SRH) has helped clear away the mud so that the inner peaceful, loving energy deep inside can shine through. SRH is ahead of it’s time. This is advanced healing and the first step in disease prevention. SRH reaches into every cell of our bodies and releases the negative energy or emotions we’ve buried which cause our bodies to be in a constant state of fight or flight (sympathetic nervous system) vs. healing (parasympathetic nervous system).
