Laurie has had the privilege of training in Mindful-Based Stress Reduction and attending workshops guided by Jon Kabat Zinn. Laurie went on to attend intimate workshops facilitated by Tara Brach, Jonathan Faust, Adyashanti, and became a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Trainer with Sean Fargo, former Monk and official Instructor for Google’s mindfulness program. During what she calls her incredible journey through life, Laurie became a Master Level Reiki practitioner and certified in Ericksonian Hypnosis.
A deep love for Mother Earth, trails, and animals, combined with a passion for helping others, has led Laurie to guide others on a journey with horses where anything can happen.
