Acupuncture
Dr. Laura offers a gentle and painless needling style from over a decade of experience. She practices a combination of TCM meridian theory, orthopedic and sports acupuncture, and a gentle but effective style of trigger point release. She also specializes working with populations who are anxious about needles.
Bodywork
Dr. Laura has a strong background in structural integration and myofascial release. She specializes in correcting postural imbalances to help patients get out of chronic pain and improve function and mobility.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an effective modality that helps relieve tension and boost circulation in chronically tight muscles and fascia. Cupping can be a stand-alone treatment or combined with an acupuncture or bodywork treatment.
Electric stimulation
This is a modern therapy in which a low frequency electric current passes between two or more points during a treatment. This typically feels like a gentle, rhythmic tapping sensation and can also come with a rhythmic muscle twitch that many find relaxing.
Red Light & Infrared Therapy
Red light therapyInfrared therapy works by emitting infrared light that penetrates the inner layers of the skin, muscles, and connective tissue. It helps boost cellular function and tissue repair, and also reduces inflammation.

Patient Testimonials 💬
"Dr. Laura really listens, comes up with great suggestions, and most of all, heals my pain." –Mark G.
"I started with Laura at a challenging time for my mental and physical health. My progress these past years has been amazing, and I am grateful not just for Laura's treatment, but also her encouragement and support through my wellness journey. It's such a rarity to meet a practitioner who is so knowledgeable, caring, and talented." –Jen P.
"Laura is an excellent practitioner. Her skill and knowledge are impressive, and I also appreciate she is pragmatic and caters her treatment to maximise and optimise the session to treat multiple issues." –Ashwin B.
"It all started with neck pain that no one else could help me through; the past two and a half years have been transformative with you. Through every chapter since - egg freezing, muscle soreness, lower back pain, hip pain, knee pain, the list goes on - I have relied on you to help me get better and you have. You have such a gift in understanding the body and a gentleness with needles to help people through a session. Thank you for every part of this chapter." –Leila S.
"Words can't adequately express my gratitude for you. I think it's been almost ten years now, and you have been with me through so much. Your deep caring, incredible acu skills, and vast knowledge about health and the human body is truly unmatched. I wish that all doctors and healers treated people with the care, skill, and ever evolving expertise that you have. Thank you for always having my back and for really saving me in profound ways, many times, through your magical and beautiful acu healing." –Mer S.
"Laura has been so kind, compassionate, and empathetic. She’s always willing to share her knowledge if it can help. Her advice on herbs and supplements has made a huge difference in my health journey. What stands out most, though, is how she listens. Laura really hears what you’re saying and figures out how to help. She’s calming and consistent, and she’s helped me with severe tendinitis pain, back pain, chronic inflammation, stress management, and women’s health concerns. Thank you, Laura, for your time and amazing care over the years. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done." –Dominique B.
